Ok look, LLD was town for day 1 because trying to sort her preflips would be a huge pain. We really needed to hit scum to see if she would just die but because we didn't now we actually have to see if she is scum. I think there is some evidence she is scum:
- She never reevaluated the Noraa read but was still really willing to go for Toog despite her tunnel on Noraa. Yes the plan was to go for Noraa in 3rd slot, but she then shifted gears towards Hopkirk? I think town LLD should in a rage about not hitting Noraa there if the tunnel is real. I also feel like the let's be sure to hit scum 3rd slot is anti-town, but that's just my opinion.
- LLD's anger about Noraa seemed fake to me. There were overreactions there that, IMO, seemed off. I know LLD is an emotional player, but I don't think you get that angry about caught scum.
- The Hopkirk read was bad. I had hopkirk pegged as town and LLD's reasoning about the poetry was super off.
- I haven't seen any deep reads from LLD. It's a lot of surface level stuff and I think we are deep enough into this game to get some real content.
Here's the biggest reason I think we should "180" as I think Shelly put it. On day 1, in my mind there was an early D1 town block of {me, LLD, Pooky, MUSH}. These four players were generally accepted to be not in the elim pool. Given the knowledge that I am town, the odds that the others players are also randomly town is 0.376 (14/19*13/18*12/17). The odds of randomly getting a T>T>T on D1 given that I am not eliminated and I know I am town, is 0.472 (14/19*14/18*14/17). Given that we ended up with a T>T>T the new conditional probability that {LLD, Pooky, MUSH} are all town (again, from my POV knowing that I am town) is 0.135. That is a pretty serious drop that, FMPOV, means we should be reevaluating players we considered to be town.
The numbers would be different for all of us, but the general idea holds. The fact that we didn't hit scum yesterday means we need to broaden our lim pool for today as there is a higher likelihood that our initial reads were wrong.- Tayl0r Swift

me being willing to go against the grain doesnt make me LHF. its pro-town and important that we dont go around shooting people just because theyre a bit different, as you well know.In post 4483, MUSHSHAGANA wrote:Tayl0r is not that dangerous to town really. She's LHF as either alignment, and her ISO is going to be full of red herring associatives because she can't help herself when it comes to no-hopers. Fred's an easy elimination too, but there's SO MUCH friction there that I have to imagine it's because the scumteam doesn't like his or Zdenek's (not sure which) ISO for them.- Titus

Just now did I realize what a big mess this actually is. Murder's actually right. Our reads have all basically been terrible :/
Legit almost forgot LLD was playing. So I understand she was sick but each time she came back, she pushed a townie. From my perspective this is much more obvious considering the only people she's pushed are a conftown(he died) and me.Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.

my meta is not nearly as simple as any of you make it out to be. im highly aware of my meta so saying "taylor did this and was town, but this while scum" is probably not going to give you any useful insights. its just wifom.In post 4499, Noraa wrote:

I am still a bit paranoid that Taylor is low-key giving me a town pass for no reason. I mean I asked for reasons and there weren't really any ....
But also like if I remember correctly, she kinda did that as well in random facts were she was vt.
she's being fencesitty but then her vibe also reminds me of OTD and random facts(both she was town).
But then the town pass is reminding me more of trials(she was scum) than random facts
and now im just ..... idk.- MURDERCAT

it does suggest that scum were in positions of influence. it doesnt necessarily mean that scum were in that so-called townbloc. but if you think scum was in there, why not look at pooky.In post 4500, MURDERCAT wrote:Ok look, LLD was town for day 1 because trying to sort her preflips would be a huge pain.

I mean she led the charge on Noraa and Hopkirk and I think that some of the emotional posts were possibly used as a deflection.

Tayl0r, I'm rude there because that entire line of argument does not hold at all. Like, I can't even imagine a world where there's anything to look at there. I am mentally incapable of wrenching those wagons around to where it looks like your assertion can be even kind of true remotely in any world ever. Also, you're LHF because you never have good, solid reasoning for doing what you do, not because you're defending no-hopers. No-hoper defending just makes your ISO useless for finding associatives.
LLD's sudden activity drop could be scum indicative but the posting was like ... trying to find an ideal town strategy, hard pushes, making herself as bright and easy to hit of a target as possible for scum, etc. Then she gets sick and the posting stops dead. I have a feeling she expected to hit scum first pass and get taken out fast -- but we hit all town, so I can see her still recovering from illness, no plans for what to do on Day 2, reads are trash and the coffee does nothing, and just saying "fuck it, lurktime". If that continues for all of Day 2, I'm inclined to press there, but I think we can give her a break for most of the rest of the dayphase.
I think Pooky and Tayl0r are never scum together, and Pooky and Noraa are never scum together, and that Noraa and Tayl0r are likely scum together (the tenor of Noraa's protest of a townread continues to sound off-pitch, though I think not outside the realm of her town games). I hate Pooky's play here, but I'm still holding that at null until I have the energy to ISO dive that. So... so... so many posts.
PEDIT:
Tayl0r:
Okay, the Fidget argument holds. I think we can't say that for UNOwen and Shelly, because of the unvoting and revoting on Fred causing the vote timing argument to be false there on Fred (UNOwen only voted Fred once afaik) and just how slow Toog's wagon was when it got to UNOwen and Shelly (remember they were hoping for a counterwagon during the Toog push -- this IS scum indicative to me, but it means the votecount doesn't work for your argument vs. them necessarily).
The Bell argument is trash because of the differences involved: Bell was initially very against hitting Toog. Like, incredibly against. Meanwhile, Bell started the Fred wagon. These are so different of situations I don't think you can call them indicative yet.
Finally, none of them was driving the Toog wagon. That was MURDERCAT and Hopkirk. It's a stretch to call UNOwen a driver for Fred, since it's mostly me at this point. Bell started it but hasn't been posting much since, shelly went hard for a few posts, then got distracted by you, then came back, then got distracted by you again, so I think saying she's driving Fred's wagon is a stretch too.
If you're only looking at who started each wagon.... MURDERCAT for Toog, Bell for Fred. I was second on board (IIRC) both times.
So sure, I give you Fidget, and I think there's an argument (but a hell of a reach of one) for UNOwen and Shelly. But those are not what you said before. You said the same people were driving the wagons. That is profoundly, undeniably false on every level. Furthermore, even if we assume a different definition of driving, it's false. Furthermore, even if we assume you meant "same alignment" rather than "same people", it fails (unless you scumread me and MURDERCAT). Furthermore, if we give every possible benefit of the doubt while taking your scumreads at face value, it remains stubbornly, unmovingly false. It's so false it is false in every possible world simultaneously unless you are outright lying about your reads with regards to me and MURDERCAT, which should take you out of my townbloc /anyway/. That deserves some amount of punishment.- MURDERCAT
