What associatives from the Gate do you think will help us win the Keep after you are gone? You already have those associatives, what do they tell you?
Most strongly that Ari's scum equity goes up with an imaginality red flip.

It's not a slam dunk, but I think people think I'm a little crazy right now. Knowing for a fact I'm town will show that the arguments I'm making need serious consideration
This is probably the towniest thing you've said all game

which is great because it makes very little sense.

...yeah? I've certainly considered that all of my reads could be wrong, most of them are wrong in most of the games i play probably, but hey, that's mafia.

I'm not sure what you mean by "I think you forgot" - like, I forgot that this is a possibility?

I know

he's reached a level of play so horribly inconsistent that I'm thinking it only comes from town talking out of their ass.

I think part of the reason I've been getting so hung up on Aristeia is that her being scum is like, the easiest way for this game to make sense without feeling arrogant. Or more, calling Pav scum just feels too arrogant. But I don't really have any particularly good reason for him to not be scum.

I think RH9 slipped in the above series of posts. He didn't realise he was implying implo is town.

If so, that would mean RH6 is scum, implo is town and Luke is town

Oh yeah and to respond to this, I wasn't trying to give explanations there, I was just saying which reads I thought I'd been clear on what they are.

My reason for Toog is more nQ-town than Toog-scum. I talked a bit about it but like, a
lot
of his content gives me town vibes relative to the amount he has posted. And I mean, most of all:

Yeah, I mean, there's probably more but... I haven't exactly had much to work with in Wall.

Could you explain more what you mean by this - how scum!Ari simplifies the game?

Giving me added confidence about the above: this also fits with my theory in 791 that RH6 was more likely than numberQ to be scum if VP is expecting Gate to flip first. We've seen him push hard for that more than once today.

Because he is scum and I may be right somewhere else in my team guess. I have given a much clearer set of reads than him.

If we flip keep first and I'm wrong on you, he can be like "see, vp trying to get a misyeet".

I also think keep is a very consensus first flip given the percentages, so it is a safe choice.

So? I covered that in 791. It was near the end of that post, maybe you fell asleep before you got there.

This attitude doesn't come from town.

As town I'm reading what VP says in case he:

- says/does something that makes it more objectively obvious he's scum
- interacts with someone in a way that could give clues as to their alignment
- tries to make us do something anti-town (like rush the Gate vote at the start of D2)

VP is trying to steamroller over me today.

Quiz for others: has VP even explained why I would:
- choose to go to Gate with him and Tanner rather than Wall
- stay in the Gate with him and Tanner if his me-Ari-RH9 solve is right (meaning scum weren't forced to swap Wall and Keep)
- IC Tanner over IC-ing VP, given their relative attitudes towards me D1

If your answer is "I don't know because he's posted like a thousand posts today", that tells its own story
