Apparently, Volpe is good scum, I’ve never seen it, though. I can fake paranoia better than I can show real paranoia. I didn’t like the early parts of Flavor vs Volpe and there’s a part of me that thinks his death tunnel was completely fake, but I’ve backed off from that because most people seem to think he’s town, so I’m just kinda slightly lean towning volpe from it for now.In post 1846, Ankamius wrote:are scum necessarily proactive though?
I'm pretty certain that Volpe is town, just kinda hitting the overly paranoid town that tends to drown out the game
nomnomnom is pretty firmly in her townrange I think
there's not a crazy amount of people that are being very proactive about the game otherwise unless you're partially referring to people that are more midrange

I can maybe be convinced on davesaz or deasvail, but I haven't seen any real reason to think I'm wrong on davesaz based on what's been posted so far; deasvail more because I don't actually understand his playstyle like I do the others (and in farkran's case, I think he fits enough of the general mold I have for logic styled players that I'm ok being confident in it for now)
everyone on the line below that I'm open to being wrong on

I guess it's possible he's scum if I'm just hitting my "can't read logic" stride, but I don't think I'm willing to humor that until I have a reason to
Yeah, I could see either of them as scum in the long run. I don’t have any lock town reads as of right now, but i have a bunch of lean towns, and a lack of major scum reads.In post 1849, Ankamius wrote:chenn maybe?
Fakran was the first player this game that felt off for me, like I said, scum Brian skies like, Chennisden was the 2nd, which lead to my Volpe push.
Chennisden also was really weird in the early Volpe vs FL, but I think Chenn is just a weird dude.CHECK OUT MY HOW TO PLAY AS SCUM GUIDE Maybe it'll help you catch me

I'm actually reasonably confident that the major conflicts are either TvT or irrelevant in the grand scheme of things
it's more productive to look on the outliers for that and see who's working the sides of it than anything
this reminds me that chenn mentioned stuff about this that would indicate town although I'd need to double check to lock that-

GIF is a high value flip I think, although I necessarily believe it is much higher value as a nightkill than a lynch if it's early enough
but this is something that should be gone back to if GIF ever flips scum-

I'm not as confident I can read him as before, but I don't think I'm entirely wrong that he can be read based on a combination of what he talks about and how he talks about itIn post 1860, Flavor Leaf wrote:Why do you town read A50?
and I'm seeing generally good takes with the impression that he believes what he's saying

I have 100% read accuracy on reading scum A50, through multiple games. Usually it slaps me in the face.In post 1862, Ankamius wrote:

Eh... this is one of the scummiest posts in the whole thread so far, and i just realized your 1815 readlist is almost literally a post count list. I don't believe that this analysis comes from town, nor does your progression.In post 1856, Ankamius wrote:I'm actually reasonably confident that the major conflicts are either TvT or irrelevant in the grand scheme of things

I'm kinda fed up with trying to lead wagons though, i feel i am getting nowhere and i'd like to coordinate something instead. I don't want to get paranoid over my hard townreads so, questions:
1. Is the wagon on elements really relevant? @GIF, @daves
2. Do we still believe nom is scum? @volpe, @daves
3. What do we make of FL and Anka? Are they worth wagoning? @volpe, GIF, daves
I mean the "town is eating town" theory is not appealing. At all. Even moreso in team mafia.Farkran is back poggers-Alisae - Farkran
