were only association. And I thought Farkset lightly defending him was a bad association. You pointed out to me that it was probably TMI from Farkset which made me realize my association was wrong. That association was the only reason Pine was so low. That point was enough to make me believe Pine is town. My two possibilities were Pine lied about his role at the start of the day and Farkset was lightly defending him because he is scum, or if Farkset was TMI defending him then he is town and his claim is true which makes him town. You convinced me that Farkset TMI read him, I believe his claim, he is town.
I think this is the critical piece. You state that Pine was close to null before the association and that the only reason he was a scum pick was because of it. However, after being convinced against the association, Pine became your top town read when he ought to have simply either returned to his spot or perhaps a bit higher. It doesn't seem genuine that the association simply not being true was enough for him to suddenly be your top town read when he was near null before.
Furthermore, you state that you had two possibilities in mind—Farkset defended a scummate or Farkset TMI read town—and that I convinced you it was the latter. I didn't at all make a case for why it is likely the latter, however. All I did was state that I believe that it was the case. How did that "convince" you?
Ame, the reason you're below them isn't because I started to townread you less. It's because I started to townread the people above you less. You're only lower because I townread the people above you stronger than I've ever townread you when you were at the top. You can consider yourself the barline of my reads D1. You did not move. Other people just got placed above you. Part of the reason they are above you is because I feel like they must be town. When I made that list there was still a small part of me considering you're really strong scum taking a townleading role.
I understand that I didn't move down, but it is off to me that others were placed above. If you are clearing Hectic from his disassociation with Fark, then why did you not clear me for the same reason? Why was Hectic, who has done little scumhunting this game, above me when I also had Fark disassociation + other townie aspects? The same goes with Spring.
