You should really catch up.

Before you start what are your scum reads?

I wanna see if/how they change.

Honestly I glossed over them. You’re a functional clear for me. RC I have a really hard time on. Like he’s flopped all over the place (see, eg, me, ari, skit) and is flopping some more (while mocking you for having your reads based on who is sucking up to you, he had been doing the same with Ari/skit) and has mixed a hell of a lot of eta in too. But I can also see quite a lot of town motivation in his play too. I think getting rid of him makes the thread more readable and manageable, but still may not be the optimal play. He’s also right that if we lynch green!shos today that he is the lynch tomorrow.

I have to go back to do my shos reread. I think I’m going to end up with an RC preference, but there’s a hell of a lot of time left in the day and it might be worthwhile to wagon (and perhaps wagon into lynch) xtomx to see what develops.

If there were more specific decelopmebts/claims, I lost them in the mobile read and so will have to refind.

@skit, I agree. That wasn’t me trying to acumcase him, that was me explaining why I’m not dead set on his lynch if you want me to give the scum reasons, I can do that too.

Then why did I change to lock town from when you were scumreading before?

That inno wasn’t til the middle of today.

Catching up.

I almost want to lynch Saudade so he will shut up!
And that''s saying something in a game this size.

Then why am I shot over you?

Either I am right on my Skitter read now or Ari is scum.

Otherwise I agree. Ari and Skitter both cannot be town without Ico having planned this as a gambit which seems so implausible as to discredit the notion unless Lylo.
I still say I wouldn't have shot you, Math.

but part of the math read was kinda like ~teamreading him with ico~ but if he thought ico protected him and thought ico was signaling him to that effect that probably explains some of the weirdness there
and that would be a weird thing to do as partners, i think

i'm a little scared that if i unvote shos we'll have let him get off for the team catchup thing and that rebuilding that will be devilishly hard
like i'm not sure how it just kinda collapsed ?
Specifically this one here.

Skitter says they scumread me more after the protective claim but is acting like they want Shos more. This is very odd. She didn’t go into why and shaded her own thoughts just a bit later.

It’s reaaaaally bad.
you realize that:
- i indicated that that if the protective thing was real it explained some of the weird ico/math things i'd been seeing
- so while i had scumread you at the time i acknowledged that if ico had actually protected you it would change matters significantly
- this post came before ico confirmed the protection
- i still scumread shos
- i explained why i didn't want to unvote him
- i had also around there indicated that although i had wanted to wagon you i literally didn't have the energy for it ...
- not sure why your'e shading me for that

It’ll prob be after you sign off because I was just mobile checking in now, but:

A. Lack of PR!Rc death
B. Lack of vig or other balance for detective
C. Pirouetting like a top on too many reads
D. Pushing the future clear, after picking up crumbs
E. Making thread unreadable
F. Heavy ate
G. Lack of town cohesion- despite the remarkable level of mutual townreads, town hasn’t been able to work together, and I think RC is the cause of that, as he has blown up multiple wagons he built/pushed/supported (flopz,Ari,shos). Note that this is different than thread unread ability.
H. BoP on Duck and math.

That’s a quick and dirty, but I can come up with a scum narrative fairly well. Part of it is how tomorrow plays in any world: if there is a green flip he is likely the lynch, and so I’m wondering if it’s better to have his flip now to make tomorrow have a better chance of cohesion and solving fegardless of the color he does flip.
