Math, if you're trying to mimic House's play in our last game, you're not doing a good job.

Why eyes?

@VP that’s my thought looking at the VC

Scum are likely distributed on both mine and monkey’s wagons.

I did a reverse post count and saw Nero and Datisi with the highest.

Someone want to town case them?

Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Because nearly every player has voted and the wagons are me and my mason partner and d1 is the most foundational part of the game. People get opinions set in stone.

No I clearly don’t because D1 mason claiming as scum is Suicide.

In post 1206, Yeet wrote:THIS right here is why my sequence on Datisi was not wrong. We need to get things moving and start pushing in this kind of game since opinions will be far more fragmented. The probability that close to half the people in this game have the same top scumread is far lower than in a smaller game. That means we need to compromise and not always vote our top scumread at any given point. We don't want to dilly dally the whole day and scramble with no info at the end. I am saying this now so that we do not get caught in problems down the line. Just to put my money where my mouth is, I will VOTE: humaneatingmonkey, even though my last impression of him is light town (although I feel more nullish on him anyway).
This post is sorta towny. Scum could just dilly dally the entire day and end up with no hang in the end. However, Yeet could have been pushing humaneatingmonkey because Yeet is scum and knows HEM is town.
If MathBlade is lying, Yeet is more towny, but if Math is telling the truth, then Yeet is more scummy.

It’s actually good.

I am not always the best with reads as town.

If I eat a bullet or monkey does then scum waste their shot on not as good town and we don’t lose me today and monkey tonight or vice versa.

As soon as one of us flips mason the other almost always dies.

Plus with monkey being inactive ish then the other PRs as this is a large are free to act.

It’s win win.

The mason PT is kinda mum.
Both HEM and Nordom came into the game very snappy and dismissive. HEM dropped in a bit aggressively, Ari posted a readslist where he was at the bottom, and he asked her to elaborate on all of them. There was basically a period where Fire played the mediator to Ari and a small bloc of people hopped onto the HEM wagon. He's mostly an easy vote for now but I basically had him on the higher side of null for the interaction. I TR people who were on the side of HEM at the moment.

I actually kind of TRed Nordom to start off with, but there were times where he was inconsistent and his pushes didn't really make sense. I think his abrasiveness when it came to actual arguments and coming off as just not listening plus his blowup made it easy to put a vote on him. I don't think he had anything that put him at the top of scum suspects and was also on my null section, so it comes off as more just LHF for me. That's just my take on it, though.
