I think I've pinpointed the main issue I have with NPOM, which is that he's boiling down the game into very simplistic terms. Lurking is scummy. Hesitation is town. People on wagons are scummy.
What I find scummy about that is that it's easy and convenient to then take that and fit people into nice little boxes, and even have your read go wildly back and forth, without really having to justify it all that much, and to meld those broad generalizations into whatever read suits you at that point in the game
@VP Thoughts on NPOM and his case/wagon? (want this answered before I reapply my vote)
@ModShould Atarashi get a prod, or am I misreading prod timers?- Umlaut

Yes, he should, I just forgot to check the thing.
Atarashi Hajimari and iDanyboy have been prodded. They each have (expired on 2020-05-18 18:52:00) to pick up the prod.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay. Well, then there’s me.” — J.R. “Bob” Dobbs- NoPowerOverMe

And besides it's better to make reads based on activity than it is to do what Quick is doing and say things like "So it REALLY looks like NPOM is just going after low hanging fruit by voting R2R, but maybe, just maybe, R2R set that shit up on purpose" and speculating that I'm bussing when there is no evidence of that.- NoPowerOverMe

It all depends on how good of a player NPOM is representing themselves to be. It seems to me they are representing themselves to be a pretty damn good player so that would mean he is just Scum here. If his level of play is high, then he should know he should have given a reason for TRing Blair. If on the other hand he is not representing himself as a good player, then it makes sense that he just made a derp. but I don't buy that for a second.- CantHateAPuppy

Because you 2 are my top town reads so I wanted to see if you felt the same way as I did about those posts, which is that they moved VP B from null to TR for meIn post 679, CantHateAPuppy wrote:
517 made me feel better about VP, though i think him and i just don't think the same way. Like, he implies that some earlier argument we had was about bussing, i thought he was low key softing, and i don't really understand this thing about r2r messing up a vote or something like that.In post 610, Nauci wrote:Hey Puppy & Blair, how do you feel about VP B's contributions today? Primarily 517.
feel like my VP read was kinda null before, maybe it's a little more town now, i'm fine with that at this stage of game
btw why ask me and blair? Not sure how I feel about u tbh, you're the player i want to do an iso on most right now, help convince me that's a waste of time and you're obvtown- Nauci

Basically, I'm saying if moving without justification is the error here, then what is the motivation to move or if it's an unforced error. I think of the game trying to figure things out from everyone else's perspectives and what their motivations would be for either alignment, and I couldn't figure it out at the time.In post 681, CantHateAPuppy wrote:i don't get this, why does scum need a motivation for switching wagons? maybe scum likes one wagon better than another for aesthetic reasons or just wants to change tactics. actually, your question doesn't make sense, because you assume scum knows the first wagon to be town, and then shifts to the lurker... but wouldn't scum also know the alignment of the lurker?
However, I have had a bunch for a bit that they town read and agree with the players that they view as threatening in attempts to buddy, which is still not at all riled out. (I didn't mention this before because this is the kind of behavior which would change if called out before a pattern is clearly established.)- Nauci

Reaction test before I went to bed sitting on the player I believed to be scum but that wouldn't be hammered before I woke upIn post 683, votato wrote:That's a really bad sequence. What changed there nauci? You thought the counterwagon for your buddy was r2r but then you realized it was me so you changed?
And the reason i asked not to hammer is the same reason r2r unvoted. I've seen way to many lolhammers recently. I'm OK with hammering this wagon. I'm not ok with waking up to find that there was a hammer without an opportunity for the defendant to respond- Quick

Okay but you're, once again, ignoring that my post right after it was saying it was an accident as a result of mobile posting so there was an immediate explanation which had nothing to do with emphasizing the rulesIn post 684, mavsfan41 wrote:@Puppy: Quoting the mod in that post seemed pretty irrelevant in terms of what Nauci’s content was for that post as I’ve mentioned in 508. Which means I figured Nauci just quoted it to emphasize the mod rules or something to that extent. When she later comes back and asks about day talk despite quoting that post, I was even more confused and wanted to know why of pure curiosity in understanding Nauci’s 221 more. So I guess a “whoopsie me” or a “why I included that random post in that situation was this...” were what I was expecting the answer to be.
If you skipped reading that post and are now assigning a false narrative to me in your headcannon, you're not making an accurate read now are you?- Nauci
