I fully expect#1 to win here but I want to see reasons. I expect some town here and some scum. If you naked vote me fuck you get flipped next. We got time, show everyone why I'm scum.
Cytosine said that he thought that you were flailing under pressure.
I feel like some of your posts do give a similar impression to me though more so now then when he had said that.
I kind of feel like that self-vote was out of pressure but I can't tell if you're Town who has lost faith or scum who knows that he's been caught.

Couple things.

Why am I scum if I'm flailing under pressure?

What pressure did I have at 4 votes vs Malcolm's 6 (would be 7 if I stayed on it) that caused me to self vote?
I'm half-asleep but I'm going to answer this now so that I don't have to think about it before my Maths test.
I didn't say that flailing under pressure was scummy. That's closer to Cytosine's opinion. I think that it's NAI.
Also, I feel like your self-vote might've been because you realised that even with Malcolm at 6 votes, due to some people there not strongly invested on his wagon, they might eventually move to you.
While that's not scummy, I feel like you probably realised that you were getting doomed.

That's anti-town of you. Do you not get that?

That's how scum wants to play. Pressuring town by lowering confidence.

Get it? Stop being anti-town if you're town.
Meanwhile I'm someone who actively creates a little bit of discord on reads I'm not locking and it can be good to see who jumps on.

Nothing Nancy has done has been anti-town, and my read on you has hard tanked - I've seen you being inconsistent and actively manipulative. Just like scum would want to play

Spoiler flea, I'm town. You should keep your vote on me cause I should be flipped today but during your catch up, you should just consider me town and try to figure out who the scum are in my interactions, if there are any interacting with me.

You shouldn't attack people you think are town for their decisions.
That's not ok, unless you're scum making a move, but I don't think you are. This was probably a huge and unfortunate waste of time. I'm not being difficult, you are. I'm just vocalizing my opinion and you decided to attack it. Whatever, all good.
You absolutely should

It's called hunting and refining.
The game is not black and white it's a whole ass rainbow and you trying to greyscale everything is a crap move.

Worse than the Incineroar pull on Thundarus I've just seen in the world championships.

I felt your claim my read on Johnny had evolved weakly or was inconsistent was inaccurate.

I've stated myself I didn't really think Mala was likely to be scum but I maintain they were a better vote than Johnny would have been - Johnny's posts had improved for me and I'll admit that was partially due to us mindmelding. I'll admit there's always a chance Johnny could be pocketing me but that seems unlikely because from my POV as town that'd involve them in all likelihood openly scumreading scum partners all to pocket a player who's been a prime elimination candidate for the past two turns.

Either way, where's the scum motive in my changed read on Johnny? It's surely a useful slot for scum Malcolm to keep pushing, no? My posts may not offer the clarity you want but I've been pretty open that my early read on Johnny was probably a partial misread based on their tone, once I got used to that tone and evaluated that slot again I began to see how they approached the game as really townie. The only motive here is surely if I'm partnered with Johnny but that seems infeasible from a scum POV - remember early in the game I was openly advocating for Johnny's elimination even when Math (I think it was Math) was trying to get us to settle on some other players.

I feel like your read on me is less based in the conviction I'm actually scum and is more centred around the fact you dislike how I've articulated my progression on another player you've scumread. But there's a world where I can be wrong and Johnny and you're right without me being scum.

All wagons we ran up in D1 were on town. Someone said that was unlikely then, too, if I remember right.

Why couldn't it be the same here?

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.
I scumread you because you've forgotten the reason why you began townreading Johnny, which makes that read look unnatural

please take another look at because my read is not really conditioned on a Johnny scumread. Although i kind of still think he is scum

Sure, I forgot about that one. I was mainly thinking about what seemed to be the 3 main wagons in Ceph, Frog and myself.

We also ran up Ceph, Frog, BBT, Roden, Mala. I remember when it was Ceph/Grog/myself and there were a few schools of thought that one of us must be scum.

We've already hit two scum as well so the gamestate in general is pretty town-heavy at the moment too.

I disagree with this. The primary reason was after Bella was eliminated it looked like it was unlikely they were teammates. Later in the game I confused Johnny's dynamics with Bella with their dynamics with Math since both were scum. Once I looked at Johnny through the lens of more likely to be town I started reading their tone and approach differently.

She said that it's suspicious because you forgot your reason for townreading them. You say you disagree with this, and say that actually you misremembered your reason for townreading them? What exactly is the disagreement, then?
