Like so far Cat's slot is just good take after good take so I'm getting townie paranoia and wondering if Cat is obv townie or if I'm being pocketed.

As logical as that sounds, I don’t agree that it works, especially with 19 players, and the scum can end up busing when absolutely needed, so it’s just highly unreliable.

I don’t like how Andante reacted to Dwlee pushing them, but this comment just feels very town.

I'm going to give it some time first because I don't know how much of a tactical player Cat can be as scum but I think Cat could be lock town.

I mean, what have you done that I should read into and sort you from? Like, if you expect a TR from "IM ENTERING AND VOTING ANDANTE" think again, cause like, I've been on top of this game, trying my best to sort people, and you literally just "don't care! andante maf!!" like, makes me feel like I'm wasting my time if you are town, so... not a great feeling, cause if I said something you hate, again, feel free to point it out, ask questions...

but yeah, got stuff to do, and if I didn't post my thoughts, yall are getting like an entirely new readslist tomorrow..

I think the best thing is to look past stuff like that and look at her analysis. She's enthusiastically solving and trying to analyze with some level of depth, so probably town.
Andante's scum game is perfectly capable and she can do enthusiasm as scum. This is a bad reason to townread her.

I don't have enough meta to know if they can fake enthusiastically solve. I don't have a grasp on their scum game.
Andante's town game is obvious because she gives a bunch of wild changing reads, buddies up to anyone who calls her town, and omgus anyone who calls her scum. (No disrespect, she just plays a very emotionally transparent game)
This is also a bad meta analysis of Andante. She has a capable scum game
In post 443, Frogsterking wrote:I feel like Pooky would need to have really polished scum play for their current iso to come from scum.

I feel Catboi is TMIing with their VP and Andante reads,
but maybe he's just got good reads.


Luke complaining about the catch up and overreacting to my read is a bad look.
Pooky's scum winrate is big is a frequent endgame scum so

ahhh see, everything just blurs together, but sure, funny once, repeat it? gets old
I think I understand but I don't really see it myself, I think Dwlee this game looks like a bad imitation of Dwlee's townplay from Infernal Affairs. I think Dwlee is a good candidate for the scum bucket.
LOL

This a scum claim. Tell me what I did in infernal affairs that you think I'm poorly imitating?
In post 509, Cat Scratch Fever wrote:I strongly dislike dwlee's Andante push.

Andante feels townish here, and I also know she's kind of an easy mislim having fallen into the trap of tunneling her more than once recently. I think dwlee knows this too.
That people are playing around her like this is actually what makes me think she is scum. She is actually townier as scum and that everyone townreads her when she is normally a controversial day one slot is very scum-indicative imo
I prefer they, thanks :)

Uhh I have a massively unfinished list so people not mentioned are essentially no clues or I have had the chance to look into.

Not willing to vote out
Andante

Would be fine with voting out.

Okay so yea Frogster is scum.

For context for those who weren't in infernal affairs... I died N1. So duh the only thing he could compare would be my D1. But this is presented as an answer when it's the vaguest possible thing he could say. And now he is gone and not actually explaining what was different because it was made up to push me.

I'm not sure this really tracks. This reason feels more like something that was made up after the fact.

I went back and reread the posts between Andante's first post and your first post. There were, if I'm being generous, 3 [1][2][3] townreads and one possible scumread on Andante before you voted for her.

From whom did you get the impression that people were playing around her?

In infernal affairs you had good reads and were scum hunting. It took you longer to get reads and they were pretty accurate and it seemed like they had some thought put into them. Yeah you tunneled Andante and that was bad but you were correct about Scorpius and I, and it took some bickering between you and Andante for you to actually tunnel them, it didn't just happen right away. Here it seems like you chose targets based on who you wanted to push and then made up bad reasons to justify your targets.

Also in this game you seem kind of like a troll and like you're hoping to get tone read based on your bravura. I feel like you're a little a trolly in the D1 of infernal affairs but you also come off as competent and your tone changes between your posts.

Not really convinced that Cephrir is town at the moment (And I mean talking about Andante's read on him) looking through his ISO, I see a lot of fluff, with a few hint towards of solving here and there, but just mostly fluff.
