I made a post about it, yeah. Seems slightly negative associative, but could be theater.

Rh9's reads list is definitely weird. That's why I was asking for his scum games earlier...but there is no meta there to look at.

What does this even mean?

How does swapping Pav and implo "help me fulfil my desire?"
You seem to be talking to Implo like he is town, so from your pov that means we were at :

Scum!luke, Ari, Implo at the Keep and scum!numberQ, toog, pav at the Wall.

Why not swap toog over pav? In popcorn Toog had me as his top town read and pav read me as scum? And pav acts paranoid of me in every game since my scum newbie game. And then Pav would have been the miselim bait at the wall

This feels like you started with the idea that you were going to call me scum, and went with it.
like, look at this. this almost feels like. like rh9 dropped into this game, read the scum pt, saw some stuff about having to distance from buddies or whatever. so he painted luke to be scummy. but then he also wrote about how luke really wanted to win the keep. and like, considering the histories of luke and pav, i can kinda imagine the conversation in the scum pt where luke is like "ay yo let's swap pav into the keep because not only is his slot garbage, he's my friend and i get to fool him and win the keep" like

and the fact that rh9 mentioned something like that makes me wonder if this was a tmi slip from reading the scum pt

actually not sure if this makes sense... baltar has been screaming to resolve the gate for like 5 years now, i don't think it would make sense for luke to hurry *then* if baltar's scumflip would have made him look bad, or at least would have made aristeia look good which is also a problem

imaginality's scumflip would have potentially been a hindrance, i guess?

thinking about it more - baltar and rh9 are the two people who have used the argument of "luke was talking shit about me" in and respectively. and that would make sense why luke committed sudoku right after he got some distancy-theatre in with rh9, as he already had some in with baltar. and even if gate flipped first, it was becoming increasingly obvious ari isn't paired with either of the possible scumfucks at the gate...

Are you comparing how Luke talked to me vs how he talked to imaginality? I don't think the theater comparison is even close.

My original assumption was it was all town at your location. The fact that no one shifted from there LEDs me to the more likely scenario of 1/1/1
you thought all three of imaginality, baltar, and tanner were town?
This also seems like an unlikely post if this is the team. What is the likelihood that scumLuke sees scumImaginality questioning scum!Toog and decides to jump in on it rather than let scumImaginality do his thing?

Again, feels like a negative associative for RH9 here.
If you do somehow manage to fuck up the gate, this post from me is probably key for the wall when you see my green flip.

Idk if I've seen three scum rolling in the mud like that together. It'd be weird. Definitely not game betting, but worth considering.

I strongly think Luke's actions shouldn't be read into as strongly as they are now, for a few reasons. One is that I know at least half of imaginality's theory is wrong since I'm town. More generally, people make mistakes. Us venerating Luke and being like "he's a good player he wouldn't have done this" like, that's like the argument that "good people can't do bad things". It's reductive. He perfectly well could have made a mistake. Maybe he voted and was going to unvote literal seconds later and got p-edited by ari.

Like I personally think it's kind of far-fetched that Luke-scum in this situation would tank the Keep like that even if he thought it'd help some in the other locations. Keep was clearly gonna be resolved first one way or another, right?

I
strongly
do not buy imaginality's argument of "he needed to do it before ari solved the whole game". Even if ari solved the game it's not like people would magically listen to her. That just is not how mafia works.

But if we're both Town and imaginality's theory is wrong, should we trust Baltar's? I'm going to take a dive and do a reaction-vote with the hope that you are telling the truth on being Town. Also, because I think that you have provided more content than numberQ that can make me feel more confident.
