Not in my experience. This is what I was saying about his incredulity and over reacting to being sussed. Not what I usually see from town andres.

He can get a bit gruff, sure, but this is like overreaction territory.

overall I see where Andres is coming from, but I do feel the fatalist attitude and reflexive scumreading is not a great look.

I'm struggling with the Titus point because it's definitely a questionable claim to say she was going to post content & obvtown and it was cut off prematurely, yet then not have that obvtown content available for us today here and now, but at the same time I can imagine a town!Titus earnestly believing and making this push.

I don't like Enchant's , that's nothing more than an attempt to goad Andres, but I don't think it's necessarily scum-indicative either. so far I haven't really gotten anything useful out of this, I'd maybe like Andres to show some work developing more townreads cause reactive scumreading everyone suspicious of him is too wide of a net

I don't really have the energy to fully catch up on what's going on. But I see that some people are suspecting
Andresvmb
and I'm not sure why it isn't obvious to everyone that this slot is town. Even when
Frogsterking
flipped town, this doesn't really mean that
Andresvmb
isn't.

Let's rewind to Day 1.

Andresvmb
is being townread by literally no one. Nobody wanted him in as bomb expert.

It is abundantly clear that inserting him as bomb expert is a scum action and there's no need for me to expand on it further.

Now I urge someone to explain to me what is the possible logic behind scum inserting scum member
Andresvmb
in as a bomb expert. Obviously, the scums did not know what our reaction to
Andresvmb
being put in into our PT would be. But what is the most likely thought that came down? Maybe they were hoping that someone would bomb the solve (pun intended) and
Andresvmb
would go down for it? In my opinion, this was an action that was clearly meant to make our group doubt that slot and create confusion.

Before
Frogsterking
went full-on anti-town,
Andresvmb
posted his part of the solve without hesitation. He later even said (paraphrasing from the PT) that there is literally no excuse for someone putting in a wrong answer because they can always check in with the mod. He was fully cooperative and acted in a pro-town way.

If we take this into consideration, is trying to push
Andresvmb
an act by a group of confused townies or a purposeful action by scum, who do not know what went down in our PT (I am also townreading
Andante
in case someone didn't read any of my posts) and are attempting to make this incorrect push?

Andresvmb
is very likely town and I am not joining that wagon.

They’re still around, no one died during the night, so this is at worst an extension of yesterday. Nobody is stopping them from contributing, so where are these valuable insights? That’s the load of crap.
I don't do catch up walls. I do it by quoting posts and giving thoughts. I'm going back more during my lunch hour. That was quite evident. The only logical reason I have for you to do that is scum.

Why else would you stop someone trying to catch up?

And FYI to reiterate, if Andante, Greeting, or andres scum flip scum to confirm my theory is right about how the setup works, then what happened in the hood was that scum chose andres as the defser, and the scum team have roles which enable them to switch with one of the experts.
This is telling given the VP swap. It's a bit wifom, but why would scum pick VP Baltar as a defuser using that swap? Were they betting on a townie killing him or getting a scum point.

Note to check VP reads EoD 2.

That's fine, just remember my theory about how the setup works, some of the scum have PR roles that enable them to switch with one of the experts if they choose themselves as the defuser. I HEAVILY suspect andres and Andante have these roles based on their behavior in the hood, and I also HEAVILY FoS Greeting for instantly defusing catboi and then lurking the rest of the night.
Heavy FoS of Andres. Frogsterking was right on setup. I'd sheep him.

, you should ignore him. Do not engage with him and do not legitimise whatever bs he's trying to produce now.

A player with a 2011 joindate does not allow an uncounterclaimed power role, which is easily verifiable to die and continuously derail the PT while being town. There is no tinfoil, just a pretty straightforward scumplay here.
Frogsterking
must go today and this is something that I will not let go. This is the elimination for today. Period.

ELIMINATE FROGSTERKING, IGNORE WHAT HE SAYS AND THAT'S IT.

Here's what I suspect. Andres was put in to ensure Catboi died and scum played up and pushed Frog's buttons to implode. That nets dead obvtown a miselimination and heat off Andres for a necessary death.

Fair, but the content I went with was immediately outdated with the Frog flip. So I told myself to do it after daybreak.

CSF made a really good point in about misty's comment on Mala - I am having a hard time squaring Misty's "Mala is scum and scum are bussing her" as a genuine, real, townie thought when Misty is not also indicating real support for a Mala lim. I'd almost prefer Misty over Mala solely on that point + me thinking the swap last night had to benefit scum in SOME fashion, but I am not going to derail the Mala wagon while it is leading.
