After reading back through that interaction though, this quote makes me not want to write off BM/Momrangal just yet. It seems like he thought Italiano was getting a lot of townreads, so if he is scum it makes sense that he would hard defend Italiano there.In post 773, Battle Mage wrote:i mean most of the talk is about how he's town, so would you really expect a wagon to build regardless of his alignment?In post 770, RLotus wrote:The fact that the Italiano wagon hasn't built up despite the fact that it has been talked about ad nauseum might be an indicator that I'm on the right track. Alternatively, it could just be a product of the stalled gamestate.

I had the same thought as you guys about BM, that he is probably town if Italiano flips town.- Andresvmb

If I’m going wrong on Green Crayons, I believe this to be the reasonable alternative. I spent a little bit of time re-reading Duchess, and something didn’t seem to add up to me. They were highly critical of Italiano in 90, which they re-affirmed in 223, but then seemed intent on burying Green Crayons for their questioning there shortly thereafter (which we all know and I won’t rehash). I also expressed a lot of skepticism of how RLotus seemed to be pushing VPB (1170). I maybe didn’t pay enough attention to Duchess’ arguments against VPB in 1022, 1025, and 1026, which seem to borrow a lot from them.
For example, RLotus argues that VPB’s reads are rather non-committal in 869. In that last string of posts I quoted, Duchess makes the argument that VPB has been consistently sitting on the fence and is “leaving every door and window open”.
Cookie Monster in their latest reads list has {Elements, VPB, Datisi} as Scum. I seriously doubt this is anywhere near correct. I have had my share of doubts, but I do think Datisi and VPB are simply trying to figure out the game. Interestingly enough, from looking back, Elements had a really good view of the game in 1451, provided you make a few assumptions. I do really think Duchess v. Green Crayons was SvT. And perhaps Green Crayons was just getting annoyed at me for pushing them in the way that I did.- Andresvmb

Anyway, I have also spent some time thinking about Dunn. I really don’t think it’s going to flip Scum, and it’s mainly because of the players that were willing to compromise and vote there. And I haven’t found an individual post of Dunn’s I actually scum read. Most of the arguments against Dunn are situational, or from their lack of thread presence. Well, why aren’t we pushing Cookie Monster for those things then?- Andresvmb

I don't have strong opinions on cookie monsters content, I can only point to the ISOs from their two previous games:
https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... er_sort=Go
https://forum.mafiascum.net/viewtopic.p ... er_sort=Go
and say they appear to be a troll/gimmick account doing a bit where they barely post any useful content and prodge by making posts about work, I think there's decent probability that slot flips town but needs to be policied anyway because they are never ever going to contribute anything useful toward the game- Datisi

can you spell out who are those players that are willing to compromise on dunn that make you think he's town?In post 2202, Andresvmb wrote:Anyway, I have also spent some time thinking about Dunn.

Well, why aren’t we pushing Cookie Monster for those things then?
and it's not pure lack of thread presence. it's the timing of the presence. if someone if lurking, fine, maybe slightly more likely to be scum, i already said that just lurking isn't outside of dunn town meta. but when you pop up after days of not posting to a wagon that is all but guaranteed to go through, that you "defended" earlier but didn't try to convince anyone, to vote someone else and again disappear? then later claim you thought maybe they'd be reevaluating even tho the player literally said they'd be self-hammering? and just by looking at day 2, do you really feel like dunn is trying to solve this game?
saying that you entering the day screaming how there's scum on the wagon, then voting just the people off the wagon is puzzling isn't meta.In post 2203, Andresvmb wrote:Anyway, I’m getting a bit tired of these arguments around my “aggression”, or how my play has been “puzzling”.

No no. I've been thinking about midway since my analysis on that wagon. I won't have time to look at Dunn meta until later today probably (though meta is meh-ta)In post 2211, Datisi wrote:

Since I’m also landing on {VPB, You} Town, and I’m trusting RTP’s read of midwaybear for now, that leaves {RLotus, maxwell}. maxwell expressed a willingness to vote Dunn while criticizing their vote for Green Crayons, and RLotus voted there early today.In post 2210, Datisi wrote:can you spell out who are those players that are willing to compromise on dunn that make you think he's town?- Andresvmb
