Here's an example. Vivax is making these theories that 1) have no basis in reality and 2) serve no purpose in reading me or the rest of the game.

ok, this makes more sense. though I guess the question becomes how do you determine what is and isn't organic

I feel like this might be a good thing to take note of though and return to once some flips have happened

bc in previous town games of his that ive seen he often has theories that have no basis in reality and serve no purpose in reading anyone

im not really sure how to read him. maybe on whether he believes the things he's saying?

Ah yes.

Breaking my trolly play to bring you an important message since I don't think I can convey my thoughts through music or gifs.

As a guy that's been here for awhile and I feel/felt has a decent baseline for the numbers of the game and have dunked on scum that have over/under estimated the # of scum in a setup. I do feel like 21-21+ is the range for 5 or more scum. I do like the idea that the extra kill mechanic could mean there's just an extra town in this game but this game will be atleast 4 so...lets kill them and then see if the game is still going.

I'm not sure if Ircher "slipped". I mean, maybe but getting to L-1 in 14 pages sorta just makes me think it's a ML.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

see, this is where i get a bit confused

from what i understand about wagons, if the wagon sort of stagnates and the game goes into a lull state or whatever, that can be a sign that scum are "ok" with the elim happening which could signify that it's a town wagon, right? that's the logic? correct me if i'm wrong i'm still learning

so wouldn't the wagon progressing quick contradict that, or is the speed another thing that's a concerning factor?

fmpov i think that it could be a slip and it was worth following up to get content out of the slot. so far, i think ircher's lack of reads is concerning

sidenote: i'm also concerned with the lack of input from basically everyone who is parked on the ydrasse wagon, especially since the slot has hardly been commented on seriously by anyone

I think wagon speed can be a good indication of a ML or a tactical bus, yes.

someone will leap to titus's defense sayin she's weird as town which is generally true but kind of evades the task of actually evaluating her

i just don't buy a post like
I wouldn't say she's necessarily weird as town, I'd describe her more as rabid and paranoid. Like either very hot or very cold with her read accuracy, and when she's cold she stands out a lot more.

I don't think she's scum atm, I feel like she's more likely to town read me (and really any one else who awkwardly stands out) instead of scum reading me. At least early on to build trust.

Vibing with this. It's just a reasonable take.

you got any actual input now or are you just here to defend yourself when you get sussed
Not vibing with this though.

I don't think I was gone all that long? I went to bed then went to work when I woke up. And I've been keeping up with the thread and responding to stuff and giving my thoughts. What gave you the impression otherwise?
