I was kinda just ignoring Tanner (which I probs shouldn't be doing but whatever), and I struggle to see how you interpret it the way you are, or how you view 60 as an explanation.
What's the prerequisite to start a conversation? Pressure? There's literally nothing going on, so ignoring people is kind of...demotivating.

Does that mean that you're willing to sheep? What about VOTE: Raya36 Or Solon? Or MariaR?
Why Raya?
Do you townread anyone do far?
No one ever voted her. Also, asking for townreads at this point is like asking for a gamesolve. How am I supposed to determine alignments if no one is doing anything? What I'm foreseeing is apathy until deadline, and there are no plurality lynches. I think we'd be better off discussing now instead of letting people lurk until last minute.

Explain yourself at once!
When I assume Elmo is town, you look really bad. I have no reason to assume Elmo is town yet though.
Phrasing-wise I was struggling since stating an interaction looks T/S always has scum motivation.
I voted because I get scumread for not voting. I wasn't a fan of the emperor rvs wagon.
1.
Why does town!Elmo -> scum!Solon, because Solon voted her?
2.
Even though you yourself have no reason to assume she's Town?
3.
Why would stating that always have scum motivation?
4.
Why so worried about appearances?
1. I sure hope you don't actually think that that's my reason. When I assume Elmo is town the push in looks absurd and "manipulate the masses" is misrepping the situation greatly.
2. I said that based off the premise of Elmo being town, I don't understand your question here?
3. Declaring a T/S interaction as scum on two townies means you can hang either then try to get the other the next day.
4. I basically always am. I get mishung quite a bit and am still trying to fix that.
1. Not really, no.
2. I guess my issue is that you can see Elmo being Town and Solon being scum doing a shitpush, or that you can see Solon being Town and pushing scum!Elmo. But in the second scenario, Solon, doesn't *know* Elmo's alignment, so I don't get why you don't consider a T/T situation.
3. Delacring it
as scum
, yes. Are you scum?
4. Ok.
2) After thinking about it more I get what you mean.
VOTE: Solon
In post 171, Tanner wrote:Math, why would you ignore me...

I'm still in favour of voting Math, but someone please try to sell me on anything.
bad reason, but you feel completely sold on me being scum and I really don't understand why or what I could even do to change that.

This was a weird narrative too. This whole post is just weird.

What about his posts at this time made you think Elmo was town?


Slight townread on Tanner


Slight townread on alban


Slight townlean from Overki11


I'm now torn between Solon and NDMath being the most scummy. I don't think scum would be in both of them.

Hi scum. This will be remembered for a bad vote hop btw. The fact that everyone is about my 13 makes this game fun. Attempted or not and just getting thoughts out there instead of holding back and giving no content no matter when you placed this vote makes it easy.
I'm always suspicious of anyone that accuses someone of a bad vote when it's on themselves..


Elmo also only said that she was aiming for transparency after Dunnstral said that's how he read her post 13. The the two townreads she says she has are of the two people townreading her: dunn and tanner..

Okay, agree on the Tanner read. Is the dunn read tonal? What about overkill, why are you TRing him? alban is null for me.
Agree with ND read, Elmo I keep going back and forth on.

Yeah which is why I dropped the idea that posting about the bad start, etc is AI.
I wouldn't think any of it to be AI, wouldn't make a difference.

Post 13 is wild - does anti-town really make a post like that right away? It looks to be too suspect to be scum, in a way.
Dunn townread started here. It's just a weak read right now but my reasoning is that he didn't jump on elmo being scum even though that would be the easy thing for scum to do at the time.

I liked alban for

Overki11 is more of a tonal gut read from his entrance. Very weak though

Right now as a whole your case seems to be based that I'm town reading two people who are townreading me and based on my
13 post. Aside that don't you think if I wanted to look worse Id have voted Math like was wanted. No because right now I see math as a null. And the top scum read I have is being replaced.

Someone asked my why I thought Elmo Town, and just their posts seemed a bit weird/over the top in a way I wouldn't expect from scum in a game where they already have a massive advantage? They're pushing for activity when it definitely wouldn't be necessary for scum. And I don't remember seeing any of their takes and thinking it was overly scummy, so eh.

Alright, let's do this.

First of all, I think replacing out post-N0 flip is a huge towntell here. Town are sufficiently less motivated in this situation compared to scum (and probably SK? not sure, gut says no one would want to replace out of an SK slot). This says good things about my slot, alban, and Solon. Unless there's some strong reason to think otherwise, lynching any of them would be silly today, just by the odds.

Elmo's intro reads town to me. There's not sufficient motivation to fake a townslip there, and I also think it'd be done better as a fake. I particularly like that the 'Does scum have daytalk?' bit comes after the PEdit - it indicates that it was just a thought she had before pressing Submit the second time and she didn't think too hard about it.
The immediate questioning of it by Solon/particularly Tanner reads a bit like scum who don't want town getting easy towncred.
In post 37, Raya36 wrote:I'd prefer keeping it to myself for now to see if the reason persists since it's still early rvs. But I will get back to you on that
I rather like this, assuming it has follow-up later on.

likely the SK just killed at random
Really odd to say right after the reaction to Elmo's townslip. I think this is town as well?

MariaR feels off:

I mean depends on alignment even then some people freak out above votes. But why no vote ever or even much in content granted we have 70+ posts and you have mostly just filler at this moment.
Aside talking about someone pocketing you. Nothing interesting?
It’s strange I have nothing that makes me want to comment on at the moment. I could ask some random questions but with no real goal behind them that just feels odd to me. I suppose I’m waiting is the best way to put it
This is odd two days into a game that is moving rather slowly. Town kicks it into high gear, or more overtly displays disinterest. This is neither of those things; this feels like how you'd play it if you're afraid of eating a NK in some capacity.
In post 105, Solon wrote:VOTE: Maria

She is approaching the game exactly as I'd expect scum to do early doors; complacently easing herself back into her armchair, slippers on, by the fire with her cup of cocoa. Reclining back with a satisfied air, waiting for the entertainment to begin.

Well, not on my watch!
Good vote, this slot is super town

I think I'm alright with Tanner's reads list in 109? It looks legit enough and similar to my own at this stage. I don't necessarily see the Knightmare townread, I've got him as PoE scum rn by virtue of being there without saying all that much.
@Tanner:
Could you explain your Knightmare townread if you haven't already?

NDMath keeps pushing this idea that Elmo/Solon is TvS. He's hooked on the idea that Solon's push on Elmo doesn't make any sense...

Elmo is town. It suddenly makes sense if Elmo is scum. :neutral:

This feels really OMGUSy and doesn't seem like he has much conviction in the vote. It feels too easy, like he wants to make sure he's committing to voting somewhere in a gamestate where he doesn't see enough to commit to.

The occasional Dunnstral pop-ins don't excite me too much tbh.

It's worth noting that the one other time I played with Emperor flippyNips, they did a townslip as town. I don't read him as playing dumb here. Frankly it doesn't seem worth it as scum in this scenario.

I actually kinda like Looker's vote for Raya in 156 - Looker wants to do something in this gamestate. It's not the impression I had of him up to this point, it felt like he was just messing around and changing his vote every round while avoiding saying anything alignment-indicative. But 156 is good.

NDMath reads genuine. I don't think this list is amazing, but I could see him typing this out and then deciding he wasn't satisfied with it as town.

And I like the post above this one by Tanner. That's the sort of reasoning I tend to use when town, but not when scum.

Elmo, Emperor, Solon
Raya, NDMath
Black Ranger, Looker, Tanner

Dunnstral
MariaR, Knightmare491

I'd happily have my vote on any of the bottom three, but this feels like the best bet atm.

I remember thinking he seemed solvy enough and liking his takes/tests, and have since more or less ignored him.

I like Klick's catchup, other than maybe the Math read. To be fair I have been not as much attention to this game as I maybe should have.
