Yeah, I'm going to go ahead and add Taly to my Roden+Dwlee theory. Roden+Dwlee+Taly gives a nice trio of go-nowhere slots I imagine scum are likely to be sitting in.

Page 20 reads list + whatever page I repped in on:

DP
Mala
Pooky
OTH
Ceph
Frog
Rad
Klick
Bell
Dunn
CSF
Luke
Dwlee

Bella is like upper null
I need to read more from bbt

The rest I am fine at this point with wagoning. I don’t necessarily scumread the left over list as some of them haven’t even popped up in the first 20 pages or so. Malcolm tucker has gotten a few townreads by this point though and I have no clue what they have even posted so..idk

RCE, does your read on Dwlee change if I inform you the slot has still done nothing 100 pages later?

The only dwlee posts I’ve read are from 123 and 124 so probably not.

I dunno, these were my thoughts yesterday but I think Ceph's pushes have generally been townie even when I've disagreed with them (i.e. on me). In light of their recent approach I think their early frustration at being scumread was probably genuine.

Sorry to say but they get very frustrated as scum too. Actually, that's kind of *all* that they do when pushed. Some of their mad posts are verbatim copy pastes of posts from other games. It's just their thing.
If you push extra hard sometimes they'l even go into diatribes about how annoying and tunnely you are.

I've not found any major problems in Taly's posts so far, not necessarily done anything exciting but feel like they've been inquisitive and keen to engage for the most part. Guess that could be scum trying to appear onside and townie but I'd need to do a fuller ISO there, certainly found them fine so far.

What's giving you the Dwlee+Roden connection? I TR'd Dwlee for their Pooky scumread initially and expected them to gradually work their way into the game but they've contributed little and their most recent posts are really lazy to be honest, adding little of value. Perhaps more viable it's a scum slot coasting by for now, I feel like Dwlee is typically more active than this? Albeit I think I may have only played with them the once.

Taly, I feel like I've been a massive distrustful misanthrope.
But like, I try to kill the people that are the least sortable not the most.
Your decision to kill active posters that you think is scum isn't a good idea. Esp. Here, where there are probably two active scum posters max.

Oh yeah I don't doubt that's a possibility - just I feel that some of their more recent pushes have been more reasonable and it's giving me more of a town-feeling from the slot than I had before, when I'd have agreed with Frogster that there was almost one guaranteed scum in Roden/Ceph. If Roden is scum, I don't think Ceph would have started accusing me of being scum when I started to target Roden, considering they'd already had Roden in their sights beforehand for a while.

Does trying to kill an active poster you think is scum not perhaps indicate a genuine town-read on Taly's part though? I get you don't want to necessarily eliminate a valuable player unless you're certain they're not townie but it can also become easy for scum to hide behind less active and easier to eliminate players to dodge suspicion if the town can't settle on someone they actually believe to be scummy.

Puh.
I get it's difficult to nail down D1 but it's something I unapologetically enjoy. Dunno, maybe it's just my style in that I like to look for links between different players and consider how scum teammates might interact. I'd certainly not advocate for an elimination solely on the basis of a grander team theory but I don't think there's any harm in putting ideas out there when you have them.

it feels like this push on math is scum motivated.

i think everyone was content to just shade corwin before, (sort of like how johnnys being treated) but now that mathblades repped in it feels like people are like "oh shit"

wake up please everybody, you just keep letting johnny slide by unchecked.
this is an obv move to save johnny imo
