@leaf not the case
your entire mindset here doesn't feel like what I'd expect town's mindset to be. Your post about "saving townies" earlier felt sus af because there's a degree of extrinsic motivation to it. You're not doing it because it's the right thing to do, but for some reward. Also, I feel like your focus should be finding scum vs. saving town.

I understand. We have a clash in philosophy.

I disagree.

Day 1 I always find saving town more beneficial, and you can see that I play that way in past games, if meta is your thing.

I have a very different MaFilosophy than most people, I understand, but I have been focused on finding scum as well, and if you look at the way I play the game, it's very gamestate based, and finding these townies are the very reason I can find scum.

I also don't 100% believe all of my town reads to be correct, so by actively stating the town read on them, it lets me the see how the gamestate evolves with that in mind.

Sure it is, I'm more just nudging at Menalque more than anything.

I've called Menalque town multiple times this game.

It's already been mentioned, but this progression makes no sense:

In post 1233, Flavor Leaf wrote:I’m gonna have to think over my thoughts on Catboi.

On one hand, they are definitely a smooth talker, but they’re pinging me like crazy, especially that big post.

They’re saying a lot of things that are like…true, good statements, but not necessarily townie statements.

I also don’t personally like the Wallflower push because I think myself, Norwegian, and Mega are the worst ones on the wagon, but Wallflower has the most to go against and likely the least pushback.

I also see Wallflower as super townie, even if Catboi isn’t scum.
I still don't get why Catboi is pinging you, especially given the wagon states.

It'd be more concerning if Flavor Leaf was pinging town right now.
stop pocket
I was saying this as a joke before, but when I look back on it, and the way people react towards Catboi, this is exactly what I feel they were doing.

In addition to me pointing out why it would be beneficial for them to be in the spotlight for at the time they were, they have key figures defending them without even being able to reason why they are defending them.


Like Menalque and Nashville. And Cat Scratch also said it was lazy.

Which is interesting to me, because it’s being cut down.
I'm stating it now. Catboi is telling honest truths, scumhunting and they keep being resurrected as wagons to scummy people.

In post 1091, Flavor Leaf wrote:@Menalque - Do you think there's a chance you're pocketed by Catboi? I went back and checked some things, and their first post in the game was an RVS vote towards you.

The fact you are town reading them so strongly for reasons I'm not sure why, not that I'm confident in Catboi scum by any means, but their first post acknowledged you, which is a direct way to interact with another player, and that can easily lend to trust for being acknowledged.
I think Catboi started the pocket on Menalque from RVS, and went with it more than 'planned' it.
This just feels like you tunneling on Catboi by discrediting people who defend him as pocketed or reasonless rather than reevaluating your own position.

In post 1675, Nashville Dreams wrote:I'm starting to feel ill so I must question my reads from this morning.

Can someone briefly give me points where they feel I'm wrong besides catboi is too town to be town?

~Titus
You showed up late. You need to look at that bnuuy wagon.
I will but I feel that it's another counter to catboi. That makes me think town before reading.

However, I am open to being wrong. It's also getting to the point where there are so many counters that catboi may need to be eliminated as catboi couldn't live until elo.

~Titus
The final post does not follow at all from the previous ones. I'm fairly sure this isn't a hydra head issue, as based on context it appears that all of these posts were made by Titus. Nashville Dreams originally was talking about how all the wagons springing up were counters to MonkeyMan... it took me a while to find the post, since it was made by Titus on the wrong account and thus doesn't show up in the Nashville Dreams ISO, but it's here:
In post 1312, Titus wrote:I'm seeing a bunch of counterwagons spring up to MonkeyMan576 and I am not a fan.
I really feel that the only explanation here is that Titus forgot which player she was claiming the counterwagons were for, or somehow got the names mixed up. The latter seems very unlikely, the former is possible as town, I suppose, but feels much more likely to happen as scum.

sure, but it's not something i dont think isn't capable of scum, it's very possible you're town. im just more noting Catboi's action, not yours.

Because I didnt get that ping from your post, i didnt get the scum ping either.

But i did expect there to be someone to start coming towards me based on ScumCatboi's choice towards me.

So I've been waiting for someone like you, which is why it was important to me to note.

I'm sure it'll calm down in later days, it's a big game and people are posting a lot. Also, the pages only have 25 posts on them so it's not

If you're town, yes, you just came across this all naturally. if you're scum, you did it with intent.

It's too early for me to tell which is which.

I still feel like catboi is scum but I think the healthiest thing to do is to give it space for now, to be revisited later with a fresher mindset.
