I do think it's likely town v town but I also don't want to stop anyone from exploring their scumreads. It's a bad habit of mine that has gotten me into trouble. I would stop a wagon on either though.

unless you mean they should just be friendly to each other, in which case, yes

VOTE: The worst

While I don't townread ABR, I have decided to treat him as town for the day due to my own personal bias unless a teammate expresses a scumread (which is unlikely).

@unwnd, Can you link your case? I didn't see a case, which may be due to life. I'm inclined to disagree because I like his reads though.

Back in the day I'd come through their words to spot contradictions but I find scum nowadays don't really give a shit about making convincing arguments, no, it's more about the presentation. Something that makes townies go 'well, by effort and substantiation he must be town!' because people have gotten so traumatized by a red PM these days and believe scum just won't effort as much as town that it's almost bordering ridiculous. I am against this mindset because it assumes that people enjoy losing, which I'm pretty sure if you're playing any game the objective is to win.

This vote is something almost all of my team agree on. I don't really bode well with (post) (post) (post) analysis and instead giving a general description of what I see.
As for what I see? I sorta let it slide but there was a moment where Hopkirk responded to me saying 'i kinda like to work list up and then down first, getting townreads'. This is fine in practice, yet he remained quite passive-aggressive. I also think that line alone is disingenuous but is playing a part of his style right now, which all seems quite excessive to me. I think Hopkirk in that instance only responded that way because it sounded good, not that he really believed it. If his MO was to look for townies and form townblocks, then what is his explanation of splintered ridicule throughout the ISO. The shift in dynamic doesn't bode with his own words. Go look at the way he silver tongues Hercule then ridicules others. This is not paraphrasing but this man really said 'don't like it when there's consequence for your actions, huh?' It's all based on
proving a point
which is both petty and scummy.


It'd be really easy and really lazy to say 'he is being LAMISTy' but seriously that's boring and using umbrella terms like that caution back to the days where people would do things like Why me = Fry me. Mafia Jargon doesn't make someone scum guys, and I actually think scum are more prone to be lazy about their reads because it's pretty difficult to try and convince people.

Wouldn't even consider it a case at this point, just a callout of words and then us having a minor back-and-forth

Again, that is what should be considered or addressed

I wouldn't mind calling that a townblock today. I wish I was in it but I get why I am not. Just trying to get some reads going.

I just don’t have any SRs that are posting beyond Agar and the worst but there has to be more scum than that.

lets say scum can remove two players from okapoka, hercule, unwnd, hopkirk, cephrir

do you think town wins if that's your lylo? aka what are your thoughts on these 5 slots and are you confident enough right now that these 5 players should be never eliminated til towards the end

is there anyone you have any doubts on i guess
