It would not be in my best interest to continue our mind-numbing 1v1 because that would make it more likely for you to dig your heels in. Unfortunately, we're town in the inenviable position of having to read you - meaning that I actually need you to spend time thinking about responses to us and I need to climb into your head a little bit to make you uncomfortable.

This doesn't absolve anything, but I do think right now they're probably doing other things.
I think right now if Imp is scum here they are very worries about me mainly because the setup empowers me even if no one else believes my read

MUSH is less scummy since my last post. Mostly due to the sheer effort that writing those walls would take...
MUSHSHAGANA, do you have any games you've played where you're scum? (others feel free to link me games if MUSH doesn't answer this, I don't know a fast way to search for this)
The Imperium-SirCakez war seems genuinely heated. I think they're on different teams (leaning scum on imperium for previous reasons), or they're just REALLY emotionally tunnel-visioned if they're both town. I hope it's not the latter. If you're town and you're reading this, take a deep breath lol. It'll be for the better.

THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. Scum have advantage with regards to momentum early. Once we shoot two of them life becomes extraordinarily difficult for them but until that point they have the advantage. Please don't hero shoot and give townies time to develop solid reads on a majority of a playerlist and please be patient and let lurkslots resolve via replacement or being forced to post via harsh prod timers.
Duchess, if you're town here, you will pretty much make us or break us here. If you're town here it's up to you to show RLotus that you are also town to prevent yet another misfire. His big problem with you is lack of original scumhunting so I would highly recommend you try piecing together a readslist on everyone with enough posts to get anything on. I don't think that you continuing your 1v1 with him is going to get you anything but a bullet.

MUSHSHAGANA, do you have any games you've played where you're scum? (others feel free to link me games if MUSH doesn't answer this, I don't know a fast way to search for this)
The Imperium-SirCakez war seems genuinely heated. I think they're on different teams (leaning scum on imperium for previous reasons), or they're just REALLY emotionally tunnel-visioned if they're both town. I hope it's not the latter.

For one, the bolded in the above quote freaks me the fuck out because of the magnitude of the swing. I get suspecting us if Norfolk-scum and suspecting Cakez if Norfolk town; I get how that can affect his read a bit. I don't think that one flip should move his strongest townread to his fourth scumread or vice-versa. Secondly, I find that scum LOVE setting up Scum vs Town dichotomies (gives them two lynches in a row to push if needed!) and this is a bastard form of that. His current thought is if Norfolk is town, then Cakez is scum. If Cakez is town, then Imperium is scum.
I know that we're town. I'm thinking (Tammy has more doubts than I do) that Cakez is town. I don't know about Norfolk, but if he's town here, that's STT setting up three lynches in a row. That's ridiculous.
Finally, I don't like the Mush read. I don't like the time he's spending on her and I don't think that the words he types about her properly reflects her position in the town list. He seems to think that scum doesn't put in the work like Mush already did this game but he's still unwilling to put her above Rockhopper who hasn't posted shit this game? I struggle to believe that. I feel it's more likely that STT is scum who feels obligated to show his work on that Mush read changes so wants to do a bunch of meta bullshit so he doesn't have to push a universal townread.
Liked this post. I'm definitely in the same boat. I really really would love to see STT get blasted to seventh heaven.In post 643, MUSHSHAGANA wrote:Oh, and one more thing. Anyone who townreads STT, I'm going to be looking through the lists. I would very much like you to explain yourselves. In great, exhaustive detail. Really beat the hell out of your belief that STT is town, /challenge yourself/, because I will throw down a /solid/ wager that you are wrong. Say, winner gets to control the loser's first shot when they inevitably get the gun (because this is gonna look /real/ bad for whoever is wrong, and they shouldn't trust themselves to hit shit anyway). I'm not joking or exaggerating, STT looks awful here, and you can check Death Curse to see that I'm right. ISO Zdenek, and Ctrl+F "MUSH". Recognize that Zdenek was replaced by Frederick A Campbell, who was our very first scum kill in Death Curse, and opened the door to red flip city. I am putting my bet down, I want anyone who thinks I'm wrong to put their money where their mouth is and/or eat lead.

Im not trying to call him out on a bad shot. I meant dumb as in very unexpected and I felt like there wes very little discussion regarding it.In post 786, Imperium wrote:Let's try to avoid dragging the dead's reputation, everyone.
