why are my thoughts as to schadd's setup philosophy more likely to come from scum? don't you think that if i wanted to use mechanical analysis as a way to avoid talking about reads or a way to get townread, i would actually make a specific effort to come to some conclusion?
i didn't offer an early lynch pool – literally the opposite. i had an early group of townreads, and it was an offhand comment that if i were correct in all of them, it would give a 50% chance of hitting scum in the rest of them. the idea that that's early preparation for mislynches is a little absurd.
i've never once thought that cop checking me was a good idea, and i think that my logic for that tracks pretty well? everyone knows that they're town, the only benefit to someone checking you is that everyone else would presumably know that as well. that isn't an advantage if you think it can happen anyways without the check, though.
>I think you said that about Oka also. I feel like saying that during the opening before actually reading is slightly scummy, yeah. I think it was a response to my asking you to scumread Alch -- which negates it somewhat -- but still.

I don't think it's explicit preparation for mislynches, more preparation to acknowledge that you can be wrong, if that makes sense. As town I don't know if you'd feel the need to do that.
>I recognize the town motivation. Can you cite an instance of you saying that as town in the past?
