I'm not afraid to admit that LLD is better than me. The deal was that LLD is town on D1, I made it clear at the time I still wanted her hit ASAP so that she doesn't just win the game as scum.

Slightly yeah. They made a few set up posts about what they were gunna do once they got the scroll plus the general lack of town or scum reads by anyone isn’t totally terrible to point to scum them.

I also don’t see why the scum team would coach that one in particular into a better position than they originally were. Besides altering the dialogue some.

But if the plan was to alter the dialogue I don’t know why he didn’t just stick to the ruse with a really dumb diatribe about scum LLD that i’d Probably have bought.

Her blood is all over your paws if he is town. It's on his, too, of course, but I don't really see how choice could be attributed to anything but you.

I believe Fred is scum because he had no build up to that vote. I don't see why town!Fred abandons Adorable and Noraa.

I understand apathy, but you're actually actively trying to reduce our chances of winning. Why are you doing that?
In post 5114, MURDERCAT wrote:If scum is killing LLD despite inactivity, it must be someone who respects her game a lot (@pooky ;) )
I can see the argument for shooting her because she's highly townread. In my eyes she is never scum, so that's a decent reason. How many players can that be said for?

I was under the impression that you were egging her on to shoot Murdercat, since if Fred is town, he'd be responsible for her death. Even though you don't think Murdercat is scum. My apologies.

The reason I interpreted it that way was because you and Murder haven't been getting along very well despite not really scumreading each other.

Fred being scum and Taylor's recent posting makes me feel she is town, after all.

I'm open to hearing your points, but I would say the reason is probably that he isn't that scummy.

these two for sure werent the case. there wasnt much reason for scum to hard bus there. there was no *coordinated* effort to derail the wagon.
Really? I was under the impression it was.

I feel like when a scumread slot has a case like this coming from a consensus townread, there is just no recovering from that:

In post 4637, MUSHSHAGANA wrote:--SNIP--

--Comes in hard on easy miselimination Noraa.
--Doesn't even cast shade when people confront him. No engagement except deflection. No explanation of the reasoning for the push given.
--Questions shelly a little bit. Barely at all. Deflates the moment shelly responds. No explanation for the questioning given.
--Votes Tayl0r for not responding to the weakest push I've ever seen -- at first I thought it was a naked vote with an unrelated quote attached by accident. Weak pressure maintained.
--Explicitly shrugs about Flea's ISO.
--Finally posts a reads list where I, Gloria, and Fidget are town, Tayl0r and Noraa are scum, and everyone else is a shrug.
--Seriously, consider the absolute emptiness, the vapidness of that readslist. Holy shit. No explanation given for /any/ of these, by the way. Gloria floated a town Fred idea at some point along the line, so maybe that has something to do with it? Garbo reads. Absolutely trash.
--Mention of a reaction test on Tayl0r, I GUESS? Like, let me remind you the vote is for townreading LLD.
--Noraa to null because, uh, Gloria and Fidget say so I guess. To slightly paraphrase on account of I just closed the ISO around when I realized this might be useful to have here: "You've convinced me this read was for bad reasons".
--Denies shelly's literal depiction of the events around the Noraa read. No explanation given.
--Finally townreads LLD for, um, "a different reason". No explanation given. This is a recurring theme, huh?
--Returns to badly putting weight on Noraa and Tayl0r because Flea reminded him that he said stuff and then sort of let it drop. (The questions asked are technically about different posts but the thrust of the argument is damn near identical.)

--SNIP--
1: Fake scumhunting. I agree scum doesn't need to hunt and can coast fine in this game -- which means that if town starts to coalesce, lurkers are at risk. It's a risk-reward thing -- scum tries to fake like town, if they succeed then they can coast on bullshit to the finish line. Lurking is lower effort, has less risk of them getting caught early on, but they get caught out by POE if town coalesces.
2: Faking town confidence in coming across as town.
3: There's two things here:
3a: First, people have been remarking on the total lack of engagement outside of Noraa around now, so a false-start push on a relatively strongly positioned player could provide some cover. It's noteworthy that this does in fact come after multiple people remark on the single-mindedness of Fred's play to that point, so this is ABSOLUTELY responding to potential pressure. It's obvious why scum would do this.
3b: Second, no explanation given -- scum has to fake reasoning. This is /very/ difficult for people who aren't natural storytellers and is in fact why I incorrectly scumread Tayl0r in our last game together. Scum is safer providing barebones or absolutely no reasoning.
4: See 1 for push and 3b for weakness.
5: See 3b.
6: These are the most absurdly pointless reads I've ever seen. The universal townread, the easiest miselimination, and the only prominent player with a serious contingent calling for blood. Oh, and two comparative nobodies (no offense meant, you two just aren't in the top quarter of active players). This is an under-pressure, asspull, "I have no idea what's going on" readslist. See 3b.
7: See 6.
8: ??? I don't see /any/ reasoning for this. Maybe 1 applies? This is mostly just, "how is this person in the same game as the rest of us, have they paid any attention".
9: See 3a -- this is also responding to pressure. It's also coming from alleged townreads, who also seem to townread Fred, so...
10: 3b AGAIN. Also, 2.
11: See 3b.
12: 1 and 3a.
In post 5026, Adorable wrote:Fidget said if you are red she would shoot me and that's not a case.
I think I have pretty decent reasoning to believe you are red if Frederick is. Your reads bent unnaturally to force Fred to be town and Noraa to be scum. Why do you disregard meta that goes against your points, but support meta (and crazy meta at that) that does?
