VP/Puppy
Gamma/R2R
Blair/Atarashi
Atarashi/Puppy

So based JUST OFF THIS. The most strongly TR people should be:

VP
Puppy
Atarashi

But we haven't seen Atarashi post in a while...

I wouldn't call Votato a hard townread, but I am not scumreading him. I wish he would be a bit more vocal in his scumhunting, but he does not appear to be steering an agenda in the thread.

It's worth noting here that both of these actually fit my solve.

I think there are people who want to spill your blood. I also think there are people who want to spill R2R's blood. I currently have R2R above you. That's why I am voting you. That and the fact that there are already some people voting for R2R and I want to help facilitate the wagons here.

mav's switch from votato to R2R seems a bit short sighted and I have previously thought mav to be a critical thinker. So this puzzles me.
Thanks for the compliment haha.
Votato is the one person I’ve been swinging wildly on since the NPOM town flip. I go from thinking he’s DEFINITELY scum with R2R to think he’s DEFINITELY town. So expect more, but currently I’m on the he’s DEFINITELY town part of the pendulum.

@Blair: R2R is absent from your possible pairings list. Looking through your posts, I don’t actually see a case on why you believe him to be town or explain a town read? (Full disclosure: when I say “looking through” your posts what I mean is skimming through them as there are A LOT.)

ok, midway, enough coasting for you. you have a total of 6 posts, and 0 content so far. what are your scum reads? what are your town reads? what did you think of the wagons and lynch yesterday? are you gonna vote today?

I don't have any strong pairings with R2R. He could be scum, but not with that solve.

P-edit: @Mavs

Yeah, this all means pretty much nothing considering Gamma wasn't on the NPOM lynch. Also, Gamma comes out of that looking better than you.

Gamma's reasons for staying off the lynch are irrelevant because he was off the lynch?

I'm really trying to communicate with you here but you're being deliberately obtuse again.

I'll spell it out: It is my hypothesis that Gamma was avoiding the NPOM wagon because he knew it would flip Town, and those posts support that hypothesis because they represent a defense so flawed that even NPOM himself rejected them.

Except it's an argument from silence. Saying Gamma is Scum for being right not being on the NPOM lynch is bad. That is why I said Gamma comes out of that looking BETTER than you. Hence, if Gamma fucks up on something later in the game, we can probably nail them for that.

i propose that a good test of this would be lynching r2r. if r2r flips town then you have a case on gamma. I'm not voting gamma otherwise though.

also, im gonna try to start doing some efforting. i started with the low-effort efforting, reading the midway and dunn slot isos. thoughts on midway above in a previous post. thoughts on dunn here.
dunn's catch-up wasnt great, and followed with a pretty shitty vote. dunn what are your thoughts on the wagons today? who do you think is scum? are you scum?

Consider this a trial-run of the Blair System™

The Blair System™ lynches Gammagooey Day 2. It's a good system. It has never failed.

The best thing about blindly following any system like BS™ is that you no longer have to trouble yourself with petty things like "reasons" or "explanations" you can just BS™ your way to endgame.

So rn you are SRing R2R more than you are SRing votato. I can see that I suppose. Flip flopping usually comes from Town, so that is a slight reason to boost the TR on you to Null-Slight Town. Still, that is how you stack up anyways...

Sig bets were outlawed, so I'll just say regardless of how Gamma flips we both get to put this in our signatures:
