I would be...disappointed if his response to getting caught early was to bounce. But I will not read into that at all, have recent firsthand experience with people mis-clearing scum for a replace out. Treating that action as null. I feel like he's mostly working himself into knots trying to justify those reads and I don't find a believable thought process there.

I wish I was scum this game just to show you everyone is pocketable. I don't know who you are, but that's a very proud statement.

Too much mech from him. He doesn't strike me as the type to normally want to delve into mechs before dayplay and I think him doing so is scummy.

I think the reference to divide and conquer is instructive, as Lukewarm in that game (as one of the Todoroki) actually engaged and argued with the suspicion on them. Here, I got essentially crickets until he dropped those reads. I don't believe he comes to that conclusion on my alignment that quickly with no effort whatsoever to understand my reasoning. I just don't think it's a town response to pressure.

I wish I was scum this game just to show that I'm perfectly capable of commenting on the setup as scum for the show too, not just because I want to understand it and use this knowledge to town's benefit. Honestly, I could also make the same post if I were scum, I would just leave out the part about potential wagon ties (which was a major unknown even if I was correct about only town votes counting) and hope that no one delves too much into that. They probably wouldn't even notice. This game has already 28 pages.

Even if I were right, I don't think most players would listen to my strategy anyways, because that's just how players in mafia games work. Still, I don't think this absolves me from legitimately trying to give town an advantage by attempting to interpret the game rules correctly.

Nonetheless, I'd much rather be the bomb expert this game than a potential bomb defuser, because I have a strong feeling that this is basically a death sentence in this setup. I mean, what if a town bomb defuser fails to understand the instructions correctly and gives out the wrong answer even if they did not intend to do so? So I'm kinda not complaining about being townread so easily for nothing.

Worth asking the mod, but I don't think this is possible given the defuser must accept the expert opinions.

Ugh, I confused the bomb defuser with bomb expert again. I meant the bomb expert. Sorry.

I was saying that this player error is also possible if someone misreads the instructions or just isn't clever enough to understand them. Can be tough as there is only one correct solution.

I was going to vote luke for not trying but then he at least tried. Was it a particularly good try? Eh.

Greeting even more town for arguing with townreads.

HEAL: dwlee per their request since I think this choice doesnt matter very much today

I took a brief look at andante's linked scum game and it has me thinking differently about how to read her. No conclusion from me yet there.
