Part of the reason I can't ever feel truly good about a Pooky townread is this
why would scum!VPB put himself in a hood with four townies one of whom has been scumreading and voting him all day
it just seems like it makes much more sense in the world where Pooky is scum and can decide to either:
1. blow up VPB and reap towncred for it all game
or
2. if consensus seems like they want to defuse, roll with consensus to make sure his buddy lives and gets a defuse
he used the wifom of "why would I give you a gun to shoot me" to make me re-evaluate on him.
he knew that if he didn't make me flip my read I would just hardpush him on D2 so he had to do something.

Like even now he is saying he wants to eliminate me but he doesn't suspect me.??
that's just how he plays the game because he has a policy of not caring very much.
I guess I would like to be more like him and care less.
It's not that i don't care, problem is i don't know.
I mostly want to listen to ded Manal. My picks are usually wrong. So basically, we punching as well as random.
The case against me is scummy because it’s largely focused on not only making sure I die, but making sure that my read of them dies with me. Name of the game being surviving one day at a time. *points at pooky’s post rate and guilt tripping to try to get people to change their minds on him like it matters or that we don’t have space for fuck ups* reminder that multiple people announced V/LA into Mother’s Day and he’s playing on your empathy and sense of fairness. Note that I am a ridiculously easy read. Pooky misreading me instead of the other way around is significantly less likely. Though, I know he gets pissed when I say that. But it’s true.
players who have the most nominations will be bomb experts on n8.
I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”
that's e-1, and all of this "ok we can do this but pooky must be next" like yeah, also n1 I was 1000% expecting pooky to blow up VP, and surprise... didn't happen.. kinda sus

Talk to me - tell me where I'm wrong. Tell me I'm wrong about how the math works out. Tell me why you townread him. Tell me what you're actually thinking about this game.
It sounds like Spring Fling was an unusually good game for Bell (no offense intended - this is kind of straight from Bell anyway), so I don't think it's that fair to scumread Bell for having bad reads.
Also I do think Bell has a towny tone, which is maybe "subjective as hell," but I think my metareads tend to be pretty good and I focus mostly on tone >_<

The math stuff looks right about scum not needing to kill GuiltyLion (under the assumption that they can NK both tonight and tomorrow night) - but can't the same argument be applied to scum!Enchant or scum!Andante?

I also want to talk about Enchant. I think Enchant seems town by virtue of his D3-D5 posting; his progressions seem natural for the most part and his interactions seem very much not SvS with VP, but I need feedback from people. I can type up a more coherent towncase if that'll help people to engage, but here are some quotes:
They have 2 defuses. Just silently make other scum defusers and win.
Then Enchant dropped his scumread on VP from day 3 and sussed dwlee/strange day 4, which looks bad until you remember Mena did the same thing. And the spoilered post above maybe illustrates why his read changed.
In post 4749, Enchant wrote:If scum can blow up everything, why they won't do it AT FIRST NIGHT FOR 4 MISELIMS?
I doubt it would be unlimited. That would be broken
How to ez win:
1. Force atleast one group of clear town experts on first day. Not really hard, just "refuse" to participate.
2. Make someone you dislike defuser.
3. Explode them.
4. Wow chain of 4 elims+5 blowed up.
And there's literally NO reason to make this ability "Expect for first night" or other shit. It's more easier for this ability to not exist.
also this post is just weird from scum? like it's too prescient, scum would probably feel more self-aware than to do something like this.
