Yes! I have an idea based on Francis Galton's guessing experiment.

Well, not everyone plays the way I do. But I mostly work with gut and tone reads until I see a scum flip

No idea. I think people put too much energy into trying to guess that sort of thing - it becomes a lot more interesting when you have a scum flip or two and can start to get a sense for what their overall strategy may have been

If there isn't anything interesting going on I'm assuming the activity levels of scum are about to drop alongside the median activity levels of town.

Oh yeah by the way; I'm asking you to use your imagination to assume your current read flips scum and work with the gamestate from there to deduce another one, not just work with the surface level information we already have.

I’m also confused about their positive views on Titus. It’s not all bad, the characterization sort of stops in the second half of the list, but I’m not terribly sure what to make of it. Or why some reads are there, that are, essentially filler for “dude is lurking” etc

Feel like we kind of agree on the game except fire. Setting luke aside, are there specific things about fire that bug you?

We have different definitions of information.

I don't really have scumreads so this is a bit impossible to answer.

This is enormous cog dis by the way.

"People legit call me scummy all the time in games as town..."

I've seen VP make comments like this in a completed game as town I think, he said it very differently like "i think people scum read me more often because of my avatar." That's it.
