My reasoning is not solely based on that though. I think you're misunderstanding my reasoning. The lack of quality content and original thinking is not my primary reason for SR'ing Cat. It is an element that plays a part, but the main suspicion comes in with literally backing off her main SR when he starts to push her and jumping onto Nauci with a weak-ass argument she isn't even fully convinced of herself. She sets herself up to stick with Nauci for a while if needed, or to jump ship easily too. There's no commitment and no resolve.

I would like to see where she lands once she gets more time to dedicate to this game.
Right there. How is this not scummy AF?

Just trying to keep people honest and attacking things that are actually AI. This isn't doing it for me. I have Catty as Null currently but that doesn't mean I am going to support NAI reasons for pressure on that slot.

If you have other reasons, I'd like to hear them. People respond to pressure as both Town and Scum. So saying, "See look! They started producing content when someone called them out for being lazy!" isn't going to cut it.

Further, that was post 703 so I see nothing wrong with it.

So a total change of playstyle when pushed, +unvoting your main SR when that person pushes you, +a vote for someone you have a weak ass argument on, +703... is all NAI?

Your making your case way stronger than it actually is here.

It's not a "total change of playstyle" it's just being a bit more active and showing a bit more effort. They might have gotten a Town tell from the person pushing them for their vote. I haven't looked at the reason for the vote, but people vote for pressure all the time, so this is a moot point anyways. Yes, 703 is at least NAI.

Anything else? I can do this all day.

Idk why Blair is scumreading me for making safe pushes. Which pushes seemed safe as opposed to me genuinely scumreading someone?

Why is mediation of misunderstandings a scummy thing to do especially if you think the two people arguing are tvt

I'd be okay with NDmath but honestly CSF is much scummier when you look back over the progression of the game.
Your case on me boils down to asking questions, not explaining my reads (lol), and being more engaged in the game when something directly involves me

My questions aren’t useless or lazy- if I think someone has posted something that was unusual, I usually prod for more information. Sometimes it ends up being a dead end but sometimes it leaves information to look back on in later days.

Granted it’s maybe lazy to not explain my reads unless someone asks me, but I’m always willing to oblige if someone asks me to explain a read.

I still stand by my earlier push on nauci- it was weird for her to come in and shitpost where popo and I were posting back and forth but I think that may just be because she was busy irl, because her posting improved later. I still think popo is town based on meta.

Why is it scummy for me to be more interested in the game when something directly engages me?

If your goal is to fly under the radar and not draw attention, hoping to just wait the day out until others can devour each other, then vague contribution with little commitment and very low content that doesn't help us to get anywhere helps accomplish that goal. Once he was called on that, everything changed. Looks like scum trying to lie low and then when caught is like "oh shit let me immediately unvote the person who is SR'ing me and move my vote to someone who I don't even have a good case for."
Town can and does do that as well. So it's a moot point really.
I'm open to being wrong about these things as any games I play online I tend to be pointed out as the noob who doesn't understand the game, and oftentimes get SR'd for that. But it just doesn't make sense to me. Why would you not contribute and be wishy-washy, vote with a lame argument, and run from your SR when they start to SR you if your wincon is to find scum?
Why can’t I be town who started townreading popo because someone said he was less engaged as scum?

Fwiw I also thought nauci was a worthwhile push because reading one of her games, she was like almost immediately obvtown to me, whereas she wasn’t here.

I’m a meta dependent player, especially in low info day 1.

Mediation isn't inherently scummy (almost nothing is), but it's easy to coast on because you will get town points for doing it 99.5% of the time.

As for your scum meta, I actually thought your early posts were strikingly similar to your posts in our scum game together (and Glitch is not actually wrong that your tone did shift at a certain point) - enough so that I was actually scumreading you when I was skimming the game the first time I tried to sub in for Rozyroz.

I'm interested to hear why you feel you are playing differently here than in our last game together.
