I don't think anyone should give any Townpoints to someone pointing at their own post and going "why does scum say this?" in the "this is too scummy for scum to say" sense. You obviously think it's Townie, why wouldn't Scum!you say it.

Regarding the rest of the post, I didn't say you had no reads or no analysis, but even what you quoted, most of it is pretty weak questioning. is more what I think of when I say "analysis".

I don't love because a lot of it feels like nitpicking the fact that Dwlee's two scumreads are scumreading each other. Or just in general things that he concludes can be NAI or "fair". It's better than his previous content sure, but meh.

I doubt Jackson will come to play.
What is scummy about Kyouko?
I think MargotRosa entry is awkward, repeating my joke could be a scum not having an idea how to enter the thread. And Kyouko could notice that as well and stack a vote, distancing herself early.

His entrance into the game seemed scummy from the get-go, but 257 held my scumread at bay. Rereading it though, I dont feel compelled by 257 the way I did the first time. It doesnt feel strong enough in the current gamestate where I'm developing more TRs or tableing players like geraintm/enchant for later.

Additionally, I skimmed his iso in his 2 newbie games, 1 he is town, the other he is scum, and I feel like he as a person associates "vote-parking" with a scummy behavior from reading his iso here and in the 2 newbies. He opens the game vote parking here, and I feel like the reason he associates it with scummy behavior is because it is what he is inclined to do as scum.

I also feel like he's been waiting a lot, very passive. Like he wants to see what others do before committing. Looking at for example, is one example of this, but there are more instances to be found in his ISO

My impression of Kazyan is he wants to look like he's solving, and he wants to make sure his reads align with the consensus

In post 739, Dwlee99 wrote:I also think your point on completely misses the context that Koba is trying to call me a town leader which I don't think I ever really am this early in the game.
I expected a better reaction to this -- you haven't refuted anything in my scumcase.

I think its always better to make associative reads at somepoint and that's how usually you play forum mafia. Yes, they are times where you have to indepentdntly scumread, but to really grasp on who the mafia is, you should always look out for interactions (mianly day 2 but I do it day one). Did bussing occur? Was there any hard defences anywhere? What was the sitatuion like.

It is so funny because the same thing I said about ssbm and dwlee (you), is that you push together, (me) lurk together (coasty behavior), then push another person together (enchant), then back off again (stops looking me and enchant).

Also that post, actually signifies my read better that you were clrearly sheeping here. You again admit to defeat that you aren't a town leader. You never are, true, but you should give yourself some credit to what you have become -- and how that can progress the game. True town can only progress the game while scum can but manipulate context throughout the way or just stall time waiting for others to chime in.

What do you think about dwlee as well. They have also been passive and if you look at their iso -- you would see the similar things that is happening in your own analysis of your scumread's iso.

re: Kazyan's grid - I Townread everyone who wasn't on the list of people I said I would vote.

It probably falls because of confbias -- I know that dwlee is my scumread and so I will try to find things that could be scummy in nature for him. I also found some towny stuff after the RVS period -- however, it wasn't just as impactful for the game -- it was independtly towncred. You should also look at the interaction with ssbm in the beginning (one of the main reasons WHY i started scumreading dwlee)

And one of the steps I figured it out. I don't know titus if you are thinking the same thing, but this +townpings
