I don't have a read on toog atm. I was thinking they could be scum because it feels like scum are in the inactives/blending in this game, but their posts are null for me. They also pointed out that they thought the mason claim was a joke. They could be lying and just using my reason as an excuse, but it looked so much like a joke to me that I don't really think it's AI.In post 1312, Guillotina wrote: Toogeloo in the other hand, the posts of that slot does not give me town vibes and again, they voted Mom right after she claimed Mason.
There have been so many examples of town wagons getting resistance because scum aren't interested in pushing the elim yet or some other reason, and then scum use that as an excuse to jump on or "compromise" there at deadline. The "resistance" tell is super overused imo.In post 1318, MathBlade wrote:Because Horsewoman is doing the same and has more votes.
If Toog gets that high I am not entirely opposed just right now the fact Horse hasn’t been hammered means she’s scum. D1 elims are not usually this hard on town. They just aren’t.
I see what you're saying, but there's only certain players who could get away with it. If I lolhammered mara, people would be super suspicious since I don't do early hammers. Some players (not_mafia, dunn) do it as town sometimes so they can get away with it but most don't do it as town and don't risk doing it as scum as a result. That's why I think there was no real risk of a hammer.In post 1336, JacksonVirgo wrote:

Thanks for the explanation Math.
I think I understand the broad strokes of your argument, although some of the finer detail around the initial wagon forming on horse confused me.
I find it hard to see a world where horse is town and math is scum because I just feel like it would look too sus for him after he has driven the push on her so hard. That being said:
Worries me somewhat, because it feels like it could be scum setting up for chained miselimsIn post 1373, MathBlade wrote:I really think horse is scum and if she isn’t then we can look at who moved off of her and what wagons and look at JV or Nora.
I still think toog is flying under the radar here and I would really like to see more pressure applied there.
@Toog - as I have asked before, what reads do you have on the playerlist other than HW? If HW is scum, as you clearly think she is by your vote then who do you see as potential buddies?
That being said, if there is no increase in interest of eliming toog in the next couple of hours or so then I will consolidate onto HW.
Honestly, IMO probably the most AI thing that has happened today was the wagon on a claimed mason. Infin/Horse/Toog being 3/4/5 on that wagon probably has 1+ scum there, and horse and/or toog would be my most likely bets.- Guillotina

In post 1415, Marky Mark wrote:@Guillo - why HW over toog? I thought we both had a similar thought process there in terms of the fact that both look sus from their wagon position on the Momrangel wagon but HW has (at times) at least actively been trying to solve
Because she didn't town up even when I gave her the chance to do so. Because after I stopped pushing her she felt comfortable with the metaphorical medal I gave her and didn't contribute to game solving, because Toogeloo or Noraa do not look like a viable option today, and because Horsewoman's flip would give us plenty of information to move forward.In post 1406, Guillotina wrote:Ok, so what I gather from @Horsewoman is that she only towns up when she is getting actively attacked or she is on the verge of getting eliminated, notice that once i unvoted her she stopped posting. She is not making efforts to solve the game whatsoever when she is out of pressure.- Marky Mark

a.) This post is scummy in its own right
b.) It is rather odd that HW went on a crusade against Math/Momrangel/DGB for (allegedly) wanting flips, but failed to pick up Vax for the same thing:
-- pedit: @Guillo, ok that largely makes sense. I think you are probably overstating the impact of you personally pushing her affecting her approach to the game, esp given how many others were pushing her too.In post 1328, Horsewoman wrote:Basically I said momrangal/DGB/Mathblade had all displayed that mindset, but momrangal is semi-confirmed town and MathBlade had other indications of scumhunting so I was really suspicious of DGB- Toogeloo

I don't know what to say about Flea, they could just be too scummy to be scum, or they just are. The list had a very ill intended approach to discredit me and put me on a bad light.

The only thing I can see that you could construe that way is me commenting on your 1373 and that is why I used the wordscould beas people starting to chalk up potential scumspects for the next day is something that I have seen scum do before and something that I wanted to call out. Clearly if HW flips scum, and I think there is a good chance of that don't get me wrong, then this is completely moot, but I am going to call out stuff that pings me when I see it.- Marky Mark
