If your whole reason for thinking Johnny is town is that "Bella kind of pushed Johnny as scum," then why is Mala ever a better vote here? Mala was (a) actually voted by Bella and (b) pushed by Corwin as his only scumreadIn post 12225, MalcolmTucker wrote:Beyond that I don't think CSF's pushes have been great as of late and feel like they could be coming from scum trying to defend teammates and implicate other players I read as town. Is is not interesting, eg, that Cat continually pushes Johnny, who I think is looking really townie, and then as the day wears on a whole bunch of votes start to pile onto Johnny again?
This question is not really to you, but more to the peanut gallery, but I legitimately don't get it
Perhaps you don't think Mala has done enough to prove she's town, but what on earth has Johnny done either????
Beyond that I think Johnny's pushes have been solid this turn and we're agreeing on quite a bit now. Maybe a risk I'm getting pocketed but I think it's much more likely Johnny is also town and our views are just aligning on lots of things.
I feel like you struggle to remember why you townread Johnny.In post 12235, Cat Scratch Fever wrote:

Sorry I'm getting confused on who suspected who re scum. Math wasn't really pro-eliminating Johnny - Bella/Johnny was a different story. 10685 outlined why.

I was compromising because I was the primary alternative elimination for a long time - from that POV as town Mala remained a better elimination even on a slim chance they were scum. As I've said, the alternative wagons weren't better for me. Hence I stuck to Mala.In post 13375, Cat Scratch Fever wrote:

With Rad, I think their compromises have often been opportunistic when an easy opportunity has arisen to eliminate a townie.- MalcolmTucker

I've stated several times Johnny's interactions with scum didn't strike me as aligned. I also increasingly mindmelded with them in a way I felt was unlikely to be scum.
Also, if I'm scum, what's my motive for suddenly going from scum to town on Johnny? It's a slot I could've pushed reasonably as scum continually, no? Suspicion has remained there and it'd have been a viable alternative if I wanted to divert away from Mala at any point. I'm not sure what I particularly gain from backing off Johnny as scum? My read there is a perfectly natural development where I've reassessed a player as the game has gone on.- Cat Scratch Fever

I really don’t get what Butterflies point in doing this is from a town perspective. I mean they are almost lock town like very close to it but I only see wolf agenda from what they are doing so id like an explanation from them about why they keep bringing shade on me/Rad.
Wolf Agenda - Try and either Split the T/T up or just try and convince enough people they can be W/W and get Rad and then night kill Drap (of which Pooky can also be doing if wolf.)
CSF is doing the same with Malcolm in regards to Johnny. Break up T/T.

Do you think Malcolm is making up a read on Johnny and do you think it TMI’s Johnny an alignment? Do you think it’s NAI but just a really wolfy made up read?

If you look at why Malcolm townreads Johnny, he says it's:
1. because Bella pushed Johnny
2. later, he says MathBlade's interactions cleared Johnny (then further amends this by saying he confused Bella with MathBlade, which is plausible... this is a long game)
>>> 3. I ask why Malcolm is voting Mala on day 5 when Bella pushed Mala equally as hard as Johnny - shouldn't that be equally clearing from Malcolm's perspective due to point #1? <<< This is in 12230where I repeated the exact reason Malcolm originally townread Johnny(i.e. point #1).
4. in response to 3, Malcolm says he's actually tr'ing Johnny b/c of his interactions with *MathBlade*, not Bella. Somehow he forgot why he townread Johnny in spite of me spelling it out for him in the post he's responding to.
5. I point out the contradiction in #1 and #4 - the idea was to see if Malcolm evaluates his Mala read and radio silence. Instead, Malcolm leaves his vote on Mala who flipped town.
6. Now he's saying something vague like Johnny is town because of interactions with flipped scum. Why??? What interactions???? And why do I consistently find it easier to remember Malcolm's own reads than he does???- BlueBloodedToffee

It's NOT as easy for town to forget why your scumread on someone changed to a townread. That's what made the progression feel made up.- butterflies

OK, so I ISO'd Johnny because I don't have much of a read there and my only thoughts come from potential Bella spew.
Spoiler: Johnny on Frog
All of that from Frog happens in a relatively short amount of time, approx 3 IRL days.
The main takeaway for me is the fact that Johnny keeps a weak vote on Frog for quite some time and with pressure building. Frog maintains scum reads on either Corwin, Johnny or Bella pretty much the entire time. Do these reads contribute to Johnny being unwilling to move his vote off of Frog? When he moves to Malcolm, it is only because the Frog wagon has completely fallen apart, but I know he returns to Frog later in the Day again. I need to see how this progresses but because this took me way longer than I thought it was going to, I'll have to continue it another time.Meta this. Meta that. Meta Everything.

I think the first point ("can talking to dead ppl be a scum role or not") is decent, since there's some contradiction in what rad is saying (I actually noticed the same thing too when I ISO'd Rad yesterDay). But in 340, he also says it "initially sounds like a townie type of power" so I dunnoIn post 13394, Best Bird wrote:Hey CSF...you read Luke's thoughts on Rad that I posted a few pages back
It is certainly possible that Rad used the Mala TR to attack Luke in a reachy manner, but I'm not sure if that's scummy or a side effect of early game scumreads being inherently reachy- PenguinPower
