You being conf town means you have the spot of everyone trying to appease you to get town read, Math, meaning that there's likely going to be some gaps from scum actively putting effort into not getting put on the conf town's naughty list.Time Is Money, Money Is Power, Power Is Pizza, Pizza is Knowledge- Nero Cain

What do u think of VP, boon?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.

Yeet made a comment about hard to get scum reads this game, which is something I have noticed as well, which means scum are likely playing a more inaction type of game, letting the game flow whilst giving some momentum support here and there.
I could be wrong on STD, that's not a strong scum read. I can't shake the feeling of Malcolm scum, though.

I think it's a good thing we have different reads Math. What are your reads for my Blue tier?

Yes and this way you're collecting metrics over time on the other players using your intuition which could be helpful in the endgame as a part of a town block.In post 3496, April Ludgate wrote:
So while there is some reasoning, mixed in with my reads on their individual slots prior to that, I would say it's mostly intuitive, but I've got a strong intuition where at the very least, I like to bring up for my own ISO that this is what I thought in that moment, if that makes sense.In post 3495, April Ludgate wrote:In post 3490, Frogsterking wrote:

Might be a weak reasoning, but I don't believe DeasVeil teams up with Fire's reads there if they are both scum/scum. They could be T/S or T/T, sure, but yeah, that's a weird partner comment that I don't see them doing with the current gamestate.
Later in game, when doing some deeper puzzle solves with more information, I can recheck my ISO to see what I was feeling at the time, and why, and what it feels like with more info.
I saw you're both a little paranoid about my slot and think my vibe is townie, how comfortable do you think you would be overall trusting my slot if I was still alive in the endgame?Bruce: Terry.

I think by end game I'd have a more solidified feeling, so I'm not too worried about you slipping through the cracks, if I'm being honest. We haven't interacted directly too much, and that's likely the key to gaining that trust, or to figuring out you are scum. I am leaning the former, though.In post 3504, Frogsterking wrote:

Parts of me like what he's saying, most of the time, I like what he's saying, but his conclusive votes don't go in the way I like.
So if I had to rank all my blues, he'd be near the bottom of the blues. I can see his play coming from scum.
It's like the opposite of my feelings with Frogster, if I had to choose to move them to green or move them down in this instant, i'd move them down.
I'd reluctantly join the wagon if the time was going down, but I'm not in the space to push him, or really defend him too much atm. I like the pressure there because if something clicks for me with him, I might choose to defend, but I haven't had that spark that wants to defend him yet.Time Is Money, Money Is Power, Power Is Pizza, Pizza is Knowledge- April Ludgate

I admit, it's possible I see Tene getting piled on by a slot I found scummy, and then immediately went to defend them because of it harder than I should have. It's still the feeling and read I have, but I see the possibility for my mistake there. I will stand by it until I am proven incorrect, though.In post 3507, April Ludgate wrote:

The concern was that I figured you would tunnel me regardless of your alignment once I voted you, so it wouldn't help me to sort your alignment. For example:In post 3465, VP Baltar wrote:
What? I your iso in the game he linked and explained why that is not the same as your play here.In post 3452, Frogsterking wrote:

When did you start scum reading me?
But follow up, why were you afraid of "tipping me" when your vote is just in reaction to me scum reading you? What was your concern there?
In post 3482, VP Baltar wrote:April, when you have a minute, I'd love your take on frogsterI don't think any of this is AI because I think you would say this stuff as either alignment.
If, before I had voted you, VP, you had reacted to my points about the meta tell you're pushing in a way that indicated you put a lot of thought into your argument and you're seriously considering what I'm saying then I would've considered that potentially AI for you being town. By answering your question or voting you right away then I would take away an opportunity for you to demonstrate AI information.
Furthermore, the reason I specifically chose to try and get AI information from you is because the way my reads are forming this game it seems an effective way to reach a full solve is to find a couple more townreads out of several specific slots, and you're one of those slots.Bruce: Terry.

This has been bothering me because I've been speculating with my friend about the probability of being voted D1. It seems on the surface that players will be more likely to be voted as town than as scum. This was my assumption going into D1. It reminds me of the Salem Witch trials logic: if they don't drown then they're a witch. I think this is an easy mistake to make as town, but it's definitely not townie.In post 1937, VP Baltar wrote:

I'm utterly confused how people can look at the Wu wagon falling apart a second time and not see that as scummy. By all accounts, Wu should be LHF that scum are eager to hammer through, yet it has stalled repeatedly at the cusp of being serious -- even though Nero and others were flipping a shit earlier today about how scummy Wu is and how much they wanted him dead if it were not for people defending Wu. If at any point you said Wu is scum...WHY THE FUCK ARE YOU NOT VOTING WU.
Math is getting taken for a ride again because he is loud and refuses to listen to anything but his own theories about the game. Math, I'm trying to work with you here. We will get a lot of information out of this Wu flip. Please work with me.
I saw Math say somethin about HEM making some kind of convincing case about Ari in their PT....If it's good, then fucking post it. If it is anything like the arguments HEM was making earlier in the game, I am skeptical.
This game has quickly become a clown show of terrible play and it is annoying me.
I'm looking back at the Ari/April and Wu wagons now that April is posting. At first I thought that this post was VP defending Ari/April and pushing Wu, but now I wonder if this is an attempt to fan the flames on the Ari/April push by inducing Math to reiterate the points over and over again. I'm imagining VP as scum hoping to create a town v town wagon cross for D1 and only be blamed for the push on Wu. I don't know if this is a tactic that's been used by scum!VP in the past or if this is characteristic of VP's scum game, I've only played with town!VP.In post 1962, VP Baltar wrote:
WHAT IS THE REASON FOR THE ARI WAGON?????????In post 1956, MathBlade wrote:There’s a wagon on Ari for a reason
Stop focusing on me if you’re town.
Like I asked for this case more than once, and "she argued with Hem and doesn't vote WU" is not a fucking case. So ELI5
And I'm talking to you because you're 50% of the posts in a LARGE GAME since you entered. If you would chill the fuck out and stop trying to big dick energy the whole game, we could land somewhere good today. There have been 12+ pages added since I got up 5 hours ago, and you can't tell me that is quality work happening in those pages because I read half of them before I had to come here to the future and plead with you to have some sense.
April pointed out that they believe:
1) Scum are lying low this game
2) Scum are going to take different sides and try to create distance
First of all, I think it's good play on April's part to provide some concrete evidence for this assessment or just admit it's a purely intuitive read of the gamestate. Second, I can see a more balanced scumteam where VP is imparting influence on the gamethread pushing limbait slots or TPR reads while the other scum are lying low and distancing themselves from VP. This lines up well with my townreads so far, the events of D1 and VP's current attempt to start a wagon on me based off a weaker meta read.
Yes. I don't like townhunting as a goto I just feel like there are a lot of posts and conflicts in this game and I keep getting townreads. I also don't know about the fua slot, I'm hoping Enchant will be mech cleared or eat a night kill.In post 3514, VP Baltar wrote:
