Fair enough, the wagon built and dissolved quickly. But why is rad scummy for compromising when you do the same thing?

I don't think this is true. Bella was not soft TR'ing me aside from early day 1.

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 scumread

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????
My primary reason for switching on Johnny was the Math/Johnny interactions for the most part. Don't believe they can be paired.

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.

How does Math's elimination rule out Johnny?
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. Maybe it's possible I could be underestimating the amount of SvS stuff we've been seeing though? Some of Johnny's more recent posts don't fill me with confidence but I'm also aware I'm struggle to tonally townread them when they post which could be influencing where I'm at.
No, it was bella...

I feel like you struggle to remember why you townread Johnny.

And furthermore, your townread was voting for me and you never seemed keen to join him.

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.

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

I'm not sure why you think this.

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.

Scum have to fake progressions

And some louder players like Luke and RcEnigma were townreading Johnny from the bella flip, so it's not unreasonable for scum to drop their push

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.

So it’s like, please everyone explain your thoughts just a bit more or explain directly to me what your point of the post was.

“Fake Progressions”
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?

What is point?

Yeah I think it's made up? That's the whole point of my posts on this page...

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)

where 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???

I'll follow this up by saying it's easy to forget some small things in a 500+ game with 26p.

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.

She also often brought up mala when she shaded Johnny, which makes me think she was trying to tie a partner to town.

As someone who's suspected Johnny for most of the game I think they're more likely to be town on the basis of Bella's posts.
The reads aren't consistently incredibly strong and they're definitely hedgy at times but I think it can be argued in retrospect a lot of Bella's play was coming from hedgy scum. In a game of this size, I don't think it's tactically wise to have down your "main" scumread as a teammate, especially when it's a teammate who is susceptible to suspicion as Johnny has been for plenty of the game so far. I'll do some ISO checks to make sure but moving Johnny more into my town-pile for now.

I don't think this is true. Bella was not soft TR'ing me aside from early day 1.

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?
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 scumread

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????
My primary reason for switching on Johnny was the Math/Johnny interactions for the most part. Don't believe they can be paired.

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.

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.

How does Math's elimination rule out Johnny?
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. Maybe it's possible I could be underestimating the amount of SvS stuff we've been seeing though? Some of Johnny's more recent posts don't fill me with confidence but I'm also aware I'm struggle to tonally townread them when they post which could be influencing where I'm at.
No, it was bella...

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???

Hey CSF...you read Luke's thoughts on Rad that I posted a few pages back

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.

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 dunno

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

I thought it was possible he is town here, and just forgot he had this thought earlier because this game is very long

but that post didn't sway my read on him because what else can you say as scum
