Alrighty!! I got 2 reads, I TR them both, gonna step away and do something today, and make my dog happy
but before I do that, I'll leave yall with my notes, they're not meant to be part of a "case" or whatever, but think of them as more of my notes I wrote as reading through ISOs/reading like 700-800. If people have questions, I can try and answer, but the best explanation I can give is likely written down.

Spoiler: General Notes
12/28, As of now I feel comfortable calling him town, not locktown yet, but definitely not red.
Even with Datisi’s explanation of what 723 says, I still don’t understand it
Spoiler: If Scum
263- not with innocentvillager 476 & 478 – not with Pooky 630 – not scum with datisi
Spoiler: Good Stuff
737- good response to innocentvillager’s “not seeing anything towny” 219 – I like this response to “I wonder how he’s going to read me” it’s not over explaining, and is a nice simple answer 363- probably a thought town has 409- Good! 571 – I like this, and genuinely think this comes from town
Spoiler: Bad Stuff
234- but why? (Found the why at 314- it’s alright, I haven’t read midway yet soooo - **Revisit) 282- says that something not even game related is “OBVTOWN”?? 411- I do not like the “I was going to TR andante for number choice, but not all scum probably care” like, If you’re Tring me, don’t TR me off a number choice?? Like, can the TR be content related? Especially since all stats point towards low numbers and top of draft being likely scum. Also not sure I like the flow push, but it’s fine for now, flow probably needs pressure. 589 – “cause reasons” is not a good reason im town, like I literally die tonight (unless scum actually think I’m vt.. maybe I am) so after I flip green, it’s like you can just go back like “yep this was obv her town game”
Spoiler: Stuff I wanna comment on, but idk if good or bad
391 – pshhh “treading more cautiously” on your read on me… I don’t like the wording of this, like why not just deal with a read on me later? 462- why not? Gotta start somewhere for reads
Faker
Spoiler: General Notes
(He) - green as of 12/28, no reason to be red yet, I do want more, but so far, I like what I’ve read 206- here’s where the mare/faker beef gets brought up
12/27 - Traveling/on phone for next few days, “can only give minimal effort”
Spoiler: Good Stuff
29 – talks about scum pt, not feeling like scum would do that 583 – I could see coming from town mindset
Spoiler: Bad Stuff
724 – “Too tired to read” and some irrelevant thing about “no beef with Mare” (As I’m ISOing, this isn’t so bad, but still want to monitor**) 98- “I don’t like skitter” yet votes mare?
That is the nicest/best formatted post I have ever done!! ahhhhh basically, questions I ask there aren't really directed at yall, it's just questions I kinda have, and I'm thinking about, if I care enough about an answer I'll ask you directly

that seems like it could be the position of "pick a high number to avoid the single digit collisions but still end up near the top". i imagine the prototypical scumteam draft is either all three low or two low one hedge like that, so post-hoc i can see how it makes sense
i realize that this is like a weird cryptic comment, but andante if you are town this game then i look forward to playing with you as scum - i believe there's a tell that might work on you, and it's one of my favorite tells to use.
In post 828, Andante wrote:You're just jealous cause you were bottom of the draft
I literally spent the entirety of the last PYP game I played correctly calling the top drafter scum
This logic feels forced and I feel like it's not that accurate
"I'm not coming to your house with a paper shredder" - Flow
"I honestly had no idea how to converse with (Flow). (Flow) brought up architecture to start with and I was like "oh do you like architecture" and then he was like "uhm no I know nothing about it." And then he threw something out a window??"

My work schedule doesn't change based on alignment in mafia games. 8 hours between shifts is barely enough to sleep let alone read that many pages.
I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”

Not quite sure on yours, I went through, looked at a bunch of game, and made a chart. the red/green up top is whether town or scum won, uhhh I don't really get any "conclusions" from this lol

Well, ignoring Open 630 because scum were not given pregame chat, 28% of slots that didn't dupe were scum (compared to 21% of slots overall) according to your chart.
That's not a ton, but it isn't nothing.
(FYI I used more games than you because I used some that were different setups but still had the same PYP draft mechanic, including the last run of this one.)

does anyone know if mwb meta has changed in the last year?
"not seeing anything towny" seems kind of a bit far? His last few posts around skitter/datisi/nsg were weird in a kind of twisty way but I didn't think 698 and the stream of consciousness type thought there where he's typing out an explanation and goes "actually this sounds kind of silly" feels real enough.
are you saying that you think his recent posting is fake? because i'm not sure how that ties in to your previous read of him and why you're replying that way to iv's vote there?
No, th exact opposite, although I think the way he went about talking about his reads was
odd
and I crinckled my nose at it a bit I think the way he worked it through was ultimately pretty townie and in general I don't agree with IV's assessmnt that he "hasn't done anything town"

I am not normally that lurky. It was a holiday weekend and I took yesterday off to spend time with my family.

It's not about being lurky it's about what you're choosing to put out into the thread
