Tweetie: do you scumread Nakata? it seems like you would, and perhaps it's just because you really want Ircher, but it feels like you're more willing to come up with reasons not to vote Nakata while acknowledging that there is a bunch of stuff from the slot that's suspicious.

pedit: i suppose i misunderstand what you were saying? that's how it felt looking at your posts.

Nakata's playstyle is an anomaly to me -- see: their paper thin scumreads on myself and Amy that somehow manages to influence their read on other slots. Somehow me being scummy erased ircher's crimes in his eyes, for example.

Additionally, I'm a bit perplexed at them clinging on to anything that will help them, like me "scumslipping" or Yin supposedly revealing Ircher is town which therefore means Nakata's scumread on me is correct (?????). Especially considering they have played with me before, it's odd.

So I wouldn't fight axeing them -- but I think Ircher's cirmes are greater, and I can more easily see Ircher using his "alternative playstyle" thing as an excuse to not have much in the way of reads nor helping. Nakata voting me because they think they're going to die (?) doesn't make sense but i will grant that it's probably a little more likely to come from town. Like mayyybe it makes sense to go out assuring everyone im scum even if it's probably like a gut read on his part. It doesn't make a lot of sense for scum to do

And while you could argue Ircher's play doesnt make sense for scum to do, i think there was merit to staying in the background and shading the primary wagons. And the self hammer trolling is just WIFOM. Dunno

Infinity seems to be under the influence of something. I don't think her posting is being forced, but there seems to be some non-visible element that's causing the apathy.

Maybe it's connected to whatever is affecting Robert and Ircher, but meh, hard to say.

It can be mechanical or simply a life setback (outside the game).

Personally speaking, I prefer to keep the pool between Ircher and Nakata.

A wagon on Infinity doesn't look very good in the period of time that we have and there are worse slots than Infinity to elim (more informative too).

If I were to say ''which is the best elim'' between the two (without preference bias), however, Ircher stills comparatively a better elim.

Nakata can be read properly as he is generating content.

Ircher, on the other hand, will likely continue this erratic posting pattern (which is much less readable) and will be a problem if he stays alive in the game.

I mean, our goal is to eliminate scum, but problematic slots can sometimes be more harmful than scum.

That doesn't mean I'm going to change my vote, of course, but looking at the game, impartially, it's undeniable that Ircher is a slot that can't be ignored.

In other words, my mind is like:

Nakata elim -> Better for % of hitting scum;
Ircher elim -> Better for the game;

I think it's kinda sus how they're saying: "they don't know how to react". If i had a townread that was very suspicious of me i would try really hard to convince the person why i am town here, and i feel like that is something Infinity would put energy into doing based on meta.

How about we all stay a bit more co-operative by having attitudes that are more like: "Sure it's not my preferred elimination but we can eliminate X, however if they flip town we're absolutely doing Y tomorrow." instead of having this constant battle of actually getting a wagon through because some person keeps saying they think there is 0.1% chance that slot could be town so we all need to unvote and wagon their preferred scumread since they won't use their vote any other way.
Maybe that thing about there being 6 scum and 7 town is true for this game too and it's impossible to actually wagon scum because town just never agrees on one good elimination.

I would hammer any of Ircher/Nakata/Infinity, just let a wagon get to E-1 so i can hammer them PLEASE.

I think Datisi has a point about Robert. Their activity seems to be directly correlated with how strongly they are being pushed.
Which doesn't necessarily have to be scummy, but it sure feels like it.

also, here's a take: the fact that this game seems to have died down now that there's a semi-viable wagon on infinity suggests that nakata and ircher are both town and scum doesn't want to change targets of the yeet. which is also +scum for infinity. you'd think if there were scum in ircher/nakata, someone would be making sure that something else goes through, or fuck at least *they* would be voting their coungerwagon.
