Real good question there

The overall impression I am getting from Taly is he is struggling to get actually in the game. This is evidenced by each of his constant backtracking on reads. To be clear, one or two read reversals are fine, but it seems he tries to start a wagon, it gains some momentum, and then suddenly he is no longer interested in it. This just seems really strange. This combined with the higher level of aggression equates a scum read.

For Deimos, he strikes me as the most likely deepscum. Should I be making such reads rn? Probably not, but I am anyway.

Do you not think that is Taly readjusting reads in light of new content brought about by wagon pressure? Because that's what I think that is

I don't particularly understand this argument. Is Deimos too towny for your liking? Is he bringing the game in a direction you dislike but in a relatively towny way? Is he someone you scumread for other reasons while you feel lots of people townread him?

You're gonna have to elaborate on why you actually think Deimos is scum besides just calling him deepscum

It's possible sure. But the other aspect is he keeps going from super confident someone is going to flip scum to a complete read reversal of being committed they are town. It's unusual behavior, and I am associating that with scum-indicative.

pedit: To be clear, I'm not actively townreading Deimos, but I would also be lying if I said there were any specific posts I actively scum read.

I have a tendency to scumread ppl that scumread me, because generally that tends to give me higher chance of finding scum.
I do think that Taly forgetting my claim probably means he's town tho, that's like... something scum would keep a record of?

Anyway, personally I do believe that this was a reaction test
I was just playing along
Now my vote on Ircher is real though

They were clearly present and I think they would've reacted faster if they were town
The subsequent slowposting also I think is more likely from scum trying to figure out how to look authentic (as well as decide on what readslist is strategically best) than town trying to consolidate their final thoughts

That's how I play too. Making apparently super confident pushes are how you make pressure. You have to embellish a bit and then ultimately make the decision based on the push of whether you're gonna elim there or not. If you're not gonna elim there after all it's because you have decided they are probably town

it was a reaction test.

hm -- giving deimos and taly as scum... would scum do that probably not?

but there is a possiblew theory where he had to choose deimos and taly as scum because all the other people are teammates and therefore making deimos and taly town

Likely but there's also the chance they know but forget for convenience since you're not around to defend yourself and the game is so loaded others probably forgot.
