anyway i think in all likelihood if there's scum split between the rooms they likely knew it was going to be incredibly hard to find a target in the blue room that people would support and that likely goes a way toward explaining the discordance of the pink room. theories about its purity are unmoored from reality, especially if toogeloo is town, because there's usually someone avoiding the wagonfree crypto- Dwlee99

Oh I forgot to post this last night cause I packed up my stuff in the middle of typing it out.
Skitter's reasoning for pink not having 2+ scum is terribad. If there are 2 scum, why would they want to appear aligned to push something through when they could just let it be and town in our hood is unlikely to guess the exact 1/8 person. And if that person IS picked, they could still work together if needed to avoid that. I mean look at the vote count, I thought it was ydrasse and that could have easily been avoided if true by any scum even if taly hadn't unvoted unless scum are already both on someone (which then contradicts the logic that they weren't consolidating with each other)
If there were THREE scum in pink, then this could actually completely explain the discord. There's literally no need to push anything from the scum in pink's POV. Every possible selection is town. If each scum pushes a different mislim then they can all claim that they were right then and that that person should be limmed now. They don't look like they were opportunistically piling onto a townie. Etc. etc. They can even set up false associatives by disagreeing with random player in blue's nomination.
Tldr; skitter logic about number of scum in pink is wrong, and I think the state of the hood is more likely to indicate multiple scum than not.I prefer they, thanks :)- Gamma Emerald

Infinity Towncase
- She feels off her game here unfortunately, but in a way that I can probably reconcile as being town based in it happening before, in the True Love game we played a long way back.
- post 2102 feels more like scum knee-jerk reacting to a townie based on the "I TMI'd, where???" type vibe the post gives. 2104 is a clear indication Dunn thought infinity meant Dunn was TMI’ing in this game.
- Attempts to work through ulyana's early theory talk seem untainted by scum info
- initial interactions with prism were to kinda play devil's advocate, this alongside other progression points on that slot (namely going back and realizing she felt gypyx was sus after she'd looked at her idea that Prism wouldn’t have off meta on me with her townread on me in mind) feel indicative of infinity having real thoughts on the slot
- progression on me is she starts out thinking I'm in my townrange for wild thought processes, later realizes some of my content is stuff I could be faking as scum, and spends some time distrusting me until flipping her read back around like late-D1. That seems pretty reasonable for town!infinity, she probably doesn’t need to flip her read like she did as early as she did.
- The exact logic for the read flip I was able to parse out was that she liked that I wasn't just trying to keep the same tactic up and get away with it, which makes sense, as I feel like that's a common behavior for scum!me when under pressure is to just push the same bullshit, and the particular way I went about trying to dig out of my hole sideways (as opposed to digging straight down) is one I think is just generally towny.
- Has some pretty based takes that feel like she's not being manipulative (seeing ydra's town streak post as a joke, trying to correct me on my misinterpretation of cephrir's actions towards me)
- The flip to SRing gypyx does actually seem like there was some prelude in that infinity thought gypyx was maybe meta-manipulating, which would justify going back on the prism read a bit more.
- The "too many TRs" thing is something I can pretty much assure is a town!infinity thing at the very least. My exp with scum!finity is kinda limited though
- Infinity's point about dunn TMI-ing actually really clicks because I'd also felt Dunn said some eerily accurate stuff about the setup this game, so that makes the Dunn reaction even more of an anti-partner tell imo. Dunnstral just kinda misdirected the topic of conversation, otherwise infinity might have locked into pushing him harder.
- This only dawned on me when I posted about it before, but Infinity just dropping the idea of Dunn TMI would have been putting Dunn’s game at risk for little to no reason IMO. It’s my belief that Dunn was bleeding some level of scum knowledge about events. While Infinity was talking about something else, that post initially bringing up TMI was incredibly vague as to what the TMI was about. Someone with the right mindset and perspective seeing that would have locked on to that and immediately called for Dunn’s head. That’s basically giving someone else a free ticket to be obvtown, so why would scum!finity do that? The ONLY agenda I can comprehend that isn’t mired in WIFOM is there was an agreement to cut Dunn loose because he was bleeding to much info, in which case,why didn’t Infinity go in for the kill?
- 2316 definitely makes sense as a town response given what's happened since then, and considering their history.
- Infinity's bad pathing on reads this game can be partly explained by the phrase "distracted by the scummy", where she's focusing on actions that look bad in the moment while not entirely keying into what the actions entire mean/what scum motivation they serve. This is exemplified in 2349 where she calls out toog/dunn/saber/unwnd as weaker TRs she's skeptical of, and out of those she ends up putting Saber/unwnd in her lowest tier later on when she should have probably put toog/dunn there. This also kinda resembles how she played in the True Love game I've referenced.
- 2504 is a valid point, though I also kinda get what gypyx was presenting in what Infinity was responding to
- the way of heeding the words of those she trusts in 2535 is a towntell I think
- the whole progression of 2535 -> 2543 -> 2619 seems good
- response to ulyana's suspicion regarding the switch in secondary wagon didn't feel defensive
- I like the consistency in believing in Prism's read rate on me, though Prism's meta impression of me was totally off (she thought my scumplay hadn't developed over 5 years of playing, when it very much had, and infinity can attest to that because one of the games I floundered as scum in was one all 3 of us were in, and since then I've broken out of the box that my play was stuck in, as infinity kinda saw in haunted village I believe) so there's absolutely room for her to have been wrong as town!

you say all of this yet… i was trying to get a vote together on saber, infinity was voting saber, and you were absent for the rest of the pt and that is why saber was not nominated -In post 3590, Toogeloo wrote:Skitter and Taly both saw through the bullshit to show how I am town early in the hood which is why I stayed I was going to sheep their votes (and even mentioned that I was biased for it).

My analysis was based on Dunn's name dropping tendencies, which I felt Dunn is the type of scum player who actively ignores his buddies if he can.

it’s probably also noteworthy how you keep framing being the deciding vote on a two vote wagon as ‘everyone except ulyana wanted this’In post 3608, ulyana wrote:

for what it's worth, i am treating this as though there is a chance i die here even if the votes on paper work out in my favor, either from sabotage shit or people just flat-out lying about their votes. so i want to get some reads out in the event of that happening.
Gamma Emerald
Gammagooey
SirCakez
don't touch these people, ever. i am incredibly confident they are town based on solving, response to pressure, how they were treated by dunn, etcetc. it's just not worth entertaining the idea of any of them as scum at this point.
Dwlee99
think very likely town for going after dunn consistently and not playing to look presentable
ulyana
gut feel but something of her responses to me this phase removed the doubt i had. just seemed deadset on wanting to convince me she is town. think by comparison to her scum games she's more pointed in her posting and significantly more active. this is a softer read than the other ones so i wouldn't say never re-eval but. should not be an immediate concern
skitter30
Gypyx
Ydrasse
Taly
Toogeloo
this is the murk. i wouldn't put a high level of confidence on anyone here flipping scum but would think at least one probably is. i still think skitter mostly looks good from interactions with dunnstral, and her play has seemed town to me through the game even though we clearly are wildly diverging in our view of the game now. maybe i'm overconfident in reading her after recent exposure to her scum game but i don't think this is it. everyone after that is the ones with the weakest reasons to clear. a lot of gypyx's posts have been suuuuuper awkward but that doesn't mean scum for him necessarily, from what i can tell he's still trying to figure things out and isn't playing toward an obvious agenda
Infinity 324
unwnd had a post in the PT about her posting seeming to be "struggling with TMI" and i feel like that's a good assessment of her iso. has mostly felt flat and the scumcases she's advanced have seemed so halfhearted. defense of gamma was also very...tepid. i just came away liking what she said a lot less on reread than i had thought in the moment. i wouldn't say i'm super confident she's scum but would flip her pretty much every time here, protests of gamma emerald be damned
Saber
Kill on sight. should absolutely not survive another phase. Just completely flatlined in the PT for no identifiable reason and at this point posting has been limited in focus and mostly geared toward pushing whatever the popular target was, looked reasonable to a point,
i don't think my reads are anything special, and in fact probably aren't very good, but i feel strongly about the top/bottom parts and want to leave some form of direction here in the event i do die. flip the ones on the very bottom and evaluate from therefree crypto- petapan

i'm mostly biased by the fact that i'm now convinced that toog is scum based on mech and when your dayplay reads don't make sense you should just probably look at mech
also i've accepted that i'm probably going to die here and that's ok because peta is being super towny as well

y'all had basically no read on each other and you seemed to avoid talking about him as he did with you

or he wanted toog to go first after spinning the barrel, cuz it has better mathematical odds if i recall my calculations correctly
personally i think in that scenario if i have a teammate with a gun and a townie in the other spot i have them openwolf and just shoot the opponent with the first chambered shot because it still means town wastes a phase eliminating them
definitely might just be SvS
You think Dunn's target when he's going down is...his vulnerable scum partner? What?In post 3523, Taly wrote:

My assumption going into the PT was thatToogwas town because I didn't trust that his wagon was heavily town led or influenced because it deflatedunwnd'swagon and ignored my push for aCakez/Dunnduel.
Based on my read progressions, I figuredunwndslot was town andCakezslot was likely aDunnpartner.
And then proceeded to disagree withInfinity/Skitterover this take and the following ones from this idea throughout most of the PT time.
