it was his desperation to preflip Pavo as town and your desperation to flip yourself as town that was what made me rethink Gate

ok but like, this is lowkey creeping me out

because i said i wanted something else flipped before gate

and we both said it should be the keep

and then imaginality started pointing out which flips in the keep make you look bad

and all of a sudden you're pressuring me into voting here?

I want out basically. Like, do I really want to spend another 40 pages arguing with a scum I think I've pretty effectively lit up? No, that just gives him an opportunity to weasel his way out of it.

You're the controller here of course, but if you feel good about imaginality flipping red, why not take that now and ease pressure to get the other games right? Let's say the keep flips wrong. Suddenly you have a lot more pressure to do the Gate right. Are you going to get paranoid under that pressure? Is imaginality going to post 40 walls I'm not going to respond to point by point?

A bird in hand, something something....

My Observations and Reads
PlayersAnalysis
OriginalReplacementNotesVerdict
numberQ can be made from a Town trying to give advice or scum hiding a warning as Galron once did in Mini 2250. I agree with , though this is NAI because scum can be agreeable too. I agree with his opinion of my predecessor in . However, I disagree with . I don't think that Pavowski is scum. However, the clarification in makes me feel better. seems like a good question but both Town and scum have the motivation to ask that.
Null
implosion, , could come from both scum and Town for similar reasons on why numberQ's advice in is NAI. I agree with , especially the last sentence. confuses me. I agree with , in that scum likely moved implosion because he was getting TRed a lot and scum moved him in order to let themselves win. This points to scum!Lukewarm because he was notably desperate in winning as seen in . I agree with . feels like Town because he is trying to sort the people that are in his minigame. I think that it is a bit odd that implosion doesn't feel like Lukewarm is scum, though. is so true. I vehemently disagree with for making Lukewarm look like he has almost completely no chance of being scum. is annoying me to pieces because why do you not consider that Lukewarm is scum who has Aristeia pocketed? is so true, though. If I was scum, I would definitely considering bussing. Most of posts afterwards seems to be a meaningless argument with Aristeia. is a decent comeback.
Null
imaginality seems odd as though he's trying to please people and it feels fake. However, I have done that as Town before, making it NAI. could be a clarification of a genuine mistake or a deliberate one intended as a reaction test. This is NAI. I find that for similar reasons on why numberQ's and implosion's advice is NAI, it applies to imaginality's too. Most other posts seem NAI too. , , and feels like single-minded attack on VP Baltar. feels like he somehow changed his mind and thus he realises that he's looking like we are scum together.
Null
Lukewarm felt off to me due to his astounding confidence on his reads. Seeing that implosion got moved and how much Lukewarm exhibited a desire to win in , it is obvious that Lukewarm is scum. He seems strangely into meta and theory. Examples of this include , , , , , , , and .
Scum
DArbyPavowskiAs previously noted in , feels like Pavowski is trying to do something which is something that I don't think that scum would do. This is because volunteering himself for a vote would appear LAMIST. I agree with a couple of his posts. Examples include , , , . Why is Pavowski the only one to get it?Why did my predecessor think so highly of Lukewarm? I agree with , and from DArby. There is no way that Pavowski is scum.
Town
AristeiaI like a lot of her posts. Examples include , and . makes me want to scream at my predecessor for placing Lukewarm on a pedestal instead of noticing the wisdom of Aristeia. is so correct. is a good idea. is so sweet. . makes sense. is so true. Anybody who disagrees is scum. almost makes me think that I'm wrong on Lukewarm. Also, Aristeia, you remind me of marcistar and Morning Tweet.
Townlean
VP BaltarSeems to ask questions a couple of times. Examples include , , , , , , , and . feels defensive. I don't get and . I agree with . I like response to imaginality in . Scumreads in makes sense. shows good solving intent. seems like he is wanting answers. seems like he's gone and actually done research. Interactions with Aristeia, which include and , feels like he is trying to work with her. seems like Town wanting to know things. I feel like and makes sense.
Townlean
Editor notes: this reads list does not make sense based on the mechanics of this game, maybe think about those some before you submit it. Thanks!

Like, RH Knows, or at least should know, that there is a scum in NumberQ and Implosion. They are both Null

He also knows that there is scum between Baltar and Imaginality. They are Null and Town Lean. Shouldn't a town lean on one necessitate a scum lean on the other?

So, he appears to not have thought to try and come up with a solve for the gate or for the wall.

The only game he has proposed a "solve" for is the Keep, and gotta say. Not a fan.

Looks like it boils down to: Luke is playing like he wants to win, and is interested by meta, and mech. And therefore is scum. But tbh, feels like a "Luke is Luke, and therefore is scum" argument.

Yeah, I figure you weren't going to find that very compelling.

I told scum already they fucked up ICing the person who gets NKed 99% of the time on N1 in all my games.

Look, if you want me to stick around I will, but I think my points for resolving gate first are valid.

I don't really think in terms of percentages because those are mostly made up.

I think about the information I have and I express what my view is.

I am at the point where I want to flip over things to see if I am right I guess?

I guess it's not completely outside the realm of possibility that Imagi-scum decided his game was unwinnable and decided to take a dive to try to induce me to vote for pavo-scum in Keep. He has pulled similar moves before. I just find it not as likely as the other view.

and the other view is that... vpb is so batshit insane he has to be town, and imaginality fucked up by not being consistent in his pre-flip keep analysis?

tonally he kind of feels similar to me in that he wants his flip to influence other games

it feels like he geniunely believes I am scum w imagi and his flip at gate will win the game because it will win gate/keep?

whereas imagi is saying the keep will flip in a way that makes him look good but he doesn't actually seem to care how the keep flips.
