In post 505, NorwegianboyEE wrote:@Mastina
Why are your scumreads what they are?
Well, I just explained the Bell scumread.

The powerpuff girl hydra scumread comes mostly from feeling like, if they were town, that I
should
be townreading them...and yet, having an utter absence of a townread. They are one of the top-two posters in the game, as in, literally only one slot has more posts than them--plenty of content to sift through for getting a townread.

And yet.

I don't have one on them.

Everything they've done is a big ol' fat pile of null. Nothing that even remotely looks alignment-indicative. And while I realize that there is a lack of scumminess just as much as there is the lack of towniness, in a void, where both are absent, the alignment I'd expect is scum because if they were town I'd expect there to not be the void, I'd expect to have a read one way or another.

So basically, it's an "absence of evidence is evidence itself" sort of scumread.

For the Morning Mage hydra, it's largely similar, with a side of thinking that the Battle Mage from this game might be the same as the Battle Mage from my last game with him--basically, I'm not townreading the slot and I would expect to be townreading the top-poster in the game if they were town. But, this is explicitly not a strong read, because while Battle Mage's opener might've given me minor scumpings, it's not total deja vu, his game here doesn't seem like it's a perfect match to that scumgame, and overall it's not a strong scumread and has a significant chance of being wrong.

Heck, I'd probably call the Morning Mage scumread weaker than the Ban Hydras scumread. It's more or less a scumread for the sake of having a scumread, because in this game I should have five scumreads and right now even including all three, I'd have only three--but really, it's even worse than that; I have only one.

(I have one real scumread and what amounts to two rvs-tier-scumreads, when I need five real scumreads.)

So I've got a while to go yet before I can get so much as an initial solve.

Pickaxe Pete and superbowl called each other terrible.

Was it terrible in skill, meaning bad town or terrible as in alignment meaning scum?

That's why I asked if PP would vote superbowl9 and vice versa.

Yeah you're town, but then you kinda ruined my momentum by counterwagoning me because you're town :(

Unless you and Nero are buddies in which case I think I'm screwed

Also iirc taylor came out a little sus for voting Nero as well

In post 518, Vecna wrote:You really need to stop doing this lol. Everytime a few people will notice you locktown people that havent posted and then I just have to defend you for the rest of the game over that nonsense.
All the better to cement my townread on you, tho. :P

(Not really a joke, actually. When I pull stunts like readslists on players that haven't posted, it genuinely
does
help me get reads on players who know me, by their reactions to it and how they take it.)
In post 522, Vecna wrote:I like the thoughts on superbowl here actually. I think im going to sheep that read
I mean, the wall was meant to be about samantha97. I meant to say, "With the exception of samantha97, the locktown reads are 100% locktown, zero chance of ever being scum, ever. They are locked town because they are just not scum.

This is, admittedly, largely from meta (and thus also why I say 'with the exception of samantha97' above, who I've zero meta of). [...] The samantha97 read comes from more or less a very strong overwhelming feeling of gut-town, basically, in thinking overwhelmingly, "I don't see scum doing this, especially not newbscum". That sort of audacity just radiates town to me. I don't have any familiarity with samantha97, but it's just the sort of thing that feels town. If I were to have a locktown read be wrong, it'd be this one, obviously, but I don't think it is wrong because I think that the call to locktown the slot is justified."

That is what I meant to say.

But not gonna lie.

While not to the
locktown
tier I gave to samantha97.

I legitimately am convincing myself that it
does
apply to superbowl9. That superbowl9 is more or less doing the things I said above, too.

Also, I now have time and I really, really still don't want to read what happened and I feel like a terrible person for that. :cry:

Did anyone ever answer my question about whether the scum team got to choose which town members got powerroles or did they just select which power roles would be in the game?
