I'd say that my gut proves true around 70% of the time personally, might have just gotten lucky a few times in a row though

Not a great fan of taylors early posts. Jumping on the strange titus opening even though it was clear what she meant, but jumping straight off again to this.

Ill refrain from talking about sending town to trials before catching up because I bet that horsey has already been beaten to a pulp by now.

what are you hiding?

Basically these posts : anyone else than nosferatu, doesn't participate much
Vecna "pls post content man, that's susp"

Nosferatu jokes around
Vecna "lmao nice one, yeah he's town"

In post 741, Vecna wrote:I think Nos is probably town. I can almost taste his happy stoner face flapping about as he ridicules' people thier reasoning
Schoddinger's posting, it's simultaniously ok and not ok to be pretty much a non-factor (kinda exagerating there, but that's to examplify my case)


Anyways that's all i've got, i also don't like the way Vecna doesn't feel really concerned to find town / think about the game with others, but that's not really caseable

The thing is, if vecna is scum, a quarter of the PList will already be against Venca's Exe, so yeah, it's hard pushing a wagon

Also idk, is it really? I think lot of people have him as null

What makes Vecna's ISO worse than, say, Nosferatu's?
@Gypyx


It probably wouldn't be terribly difficult to make a similar case for Nos.

I'm just gonna toss some more accusations into the EddieFenix thunderdome here

What a shift between these two posts. It's like he was going for the "X is scum. I am certain." vibes at first, but when pressed for reasoning it's more like, "I could see Titus being scum. You saw she was on both town wagons?"

..

I don't how to check who's scum (if any) in Titus/Vecna. I'd rather save that for another time. I liked both of them at different points.

I want to say Tayl0r/Gypyx/Noraa is a good townbloc.

Nosferatu I'm particularly wary of since he just survived the last gladiate, I sort of hope there was 1 scum inside the gladiate, and I lean him over DGB.

gypyx' silly push might actually be coming from a good space. My game thus far has been rather weaksauce. titus not noticing that, dgb not noticing any differences....might be bad news.
Why is it AI for titus / DGB to not notice your scuminess, like pretty sure that as scum, they'd try to capitalize of your scuminess right?
They know im normally obv-town and completely unlynchable as town. To the point of it being an absolute waste to even try, and usually scum knowing me will just townread me from the get-go.

Redicule my reads, sure. But not going for a scumread.

Weirdly enough, when im town, people scumreading me tend to be town in the vast majority of cases.

Well that's a good point, and i've also found some slightly worrying stuff with titus, but i'm not interested in wagoninh titus rn
Oh really? What's worrying. No cloak and daggers. Give it to us straight.
Like, without having caught up, I bet this questioned wont have been posed towards my exact same read.

Why? Because scum titus knows its totally pointless to throw shade on me since im unlynchable.

You on the other hand? Not so much.

In post 1084, Titus wrote:@Vecna, I have always felt your game was weak when you can only say Titus is scum. Just you kept the volume manageable so I could scumhunt but if you want to go at me for not being a dick to you, then come at me. I doubt scum Vecna can pull the facade. Of course Civilization Vecna would know when to back down.
Case in point. I guess

Vecna I'm basically randomly throwing shade at u rn. All I have said is that my gut tells me ur scum. The normal town reaction is a nice version of "fuck off"

im not seeing that. explain why and dont say something like "well it seems all ur reads suck ass" bc like no that's not a valid reason. A townie would jump at me for throwing shade like that.

I'mma be honest, I haven't been fully invested into the game as I should be due to IRL stuff. DGB, you funny and probably scum too. I don't have a 3rd pick at th moment. But, I gotta dip because I gotta reset my sleep schedule for a midnight job. GL to my fellow townies, y'all got this.

Whenever I engage people that scumread me too much, the next step is always that some clown throws out something along the lines of "OMG look he's so defensive" and then it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

Your scumreads dont bother me too much. They will probably help me read you better.

The one thing ill say though: Those things that gypic (or w/e it spelled) picks out to scumread me over in his case are not actually scummy behaviour.

Changing my mind on taylor within 3 posts? is that scummy? no its not

Townreading Nos while working with the little he provided at that time, while im also unhappy by his participation? Why wouldnt I be. That type of playstyle attracts the mislynches like shit attracts flies.

If im scum, then either make the case im white knighting Nos, or try to flip Nos to even see whether the team-defense argument is valid. Yet for some reason he skips that step and votes for me.

so yeah, some critical thought process, please.

im for sure down for an eddie wagon here. wont vote there until the replacement shows up, but i think itll be good to get some pressure on that slot straight away. eddie if youre still here youll have to PM the mod, you shouldnt state replacement requests in thread.

If scum got to choose the gladiate, wouldn't they put some of the towniest looking players in it?

Granted, there aren't a lot of those.

But you and PlusJOYED? You both were probably already good candidates for the D2 elimination, gladiate or no gladiate. You had already received some suspicion d1, and Plus just came off the terrible hammer.

You make a good point that it felt specific. But in the wrong direction, almost.

This probably makes the top 10 of bullshit reasons people get scumread for, that is completely NAI.

Cause imma be honest with you, I say that shit all the time. And its just an easy ass way to formulate a scumread when U cant find a real reason.

Having said that, I was all up on thinking the same way about wagoning him, but that post stating how he feels about you did actually sound pretty honest to me. He might very well be scum, but that post actually makes me feel "huh"

Totally worth it if they couldve gotten multiple people murdered with it though. I still agree with the people that said due to the phase timing its unlikely scum had any say in the group.
