teacher exemplifies the scum sitting back and letting town tear each other apart. he is obviously keeping up with the game enough to be aware of who the major wagons are, and his thoughts on them always seem to be "i am aware of the case but i don't agree", and yet there is absolutely zero effort to push any alternatives.

he's also stated he thinks BM/Noraa is TvS without taking a stance on which is which or showing any particular effort to sort them

just in general there is little to no sign that he is doing anything to either a) push executions on players he thinks are scum or b) figure out who is scum.
i completely agree with this. iamausername, you are proving that
size does not matter
quality is more important than quantity.

ugh menal please go back on shelly nora is annoying but it's a policy lim at that point
nah, I think it's actually super super scummy that noraa is so avoidant here

I think her reasons for avoiding it are weak ("it's just her play style") and I think her saying "likely one scum in shelly/icon, but I don't think icon is happening today" combined with not voting there is scummy -- like if you really believe that you solve another slot by flipping one, you flip the one you can get and then work off that information. I think noraa has
excellent
scum equity with shelly and even aside from that I don't think her reluctance to be involved here is from town (if she's not partners, I think she's just afraid of limping onto a town wagon late esp with BM calling her out for that so publicly)

and if she does flip scum, she gets me the cred I need to do shelly tomorrow

don't attack my personality. Call it poor play if u want. I've played for a solid month and am carrying 6 games or something rn. I don't have zero experience definitely.
Dont call me obnoxious or annoying. that's rude.

i really like this post for a couple reasons. it provides orders of magnitude better of a case on teacher than bm's previous case, and it feels really genuine from user's part. there are a million ways they could have simply deflected or been like "look at bm's post" and this provided a good explanation of their own reasoning. i appreciate it.

i'm not hating the case on teacher right now, but shelly seems so obviously scum to me that my vote will stay where it is.

@bm @menal are the votes on noraa serious and if so can you please explain them because i got a strong vibe of "nora is newbtown" especially from you menal?

and if your reluctance to vote a slot that would let you solve a dyad where you're supposedly confident scum is weren't so incredibly scummy, I'd be more worried about that

in other news i'm reevaluating bm right now but it looks more and more to me like this entire exchange between bm and menal was tvt OR svs, and i don't believe it's the latter because menal is a pretty solid towered
menal for reasons i've outlined earlier and bm because i don't see this entire thing as a scum progression at all jumping onto noraa feels like a compromise rather than opportunistic wagon hopping

not to underplay the iamausername case, which is high quality, but almost all of those points were also in my case. If you think there's an "orders of magnitude" difference, that confirms you haven't read them properly. You should put your personal feelings (real or feigned) aside in appraising cases to help you form or purport to form objective judgements.

Or you know you're full of it above, and just trolling me, in which case, well played. :giggle:

#coachBM

On overall thoughts, I am happy elimming:

Teacher
TGP
Noora

Probably in that order of preference.

Noraas agreed to read up and give us her best attempt to define the alignment indicative stuff. Let's judge her on those reads.

Noora that post should be your priority as it could be your legacy to the game.

I think he's prob town unless he's scum who's been actively trying to pocket me

I think the latter is maybe slightly more likely if noraa!scum given the way he's engaging me on getting back onto shelly now I'm pushing for noraa, but I'm not really interested in paranoiaing about this before a flip
