Pro tip: When you're the most anti-town player in the thread, "pressuring someone" doesn't work.

You quoted this on your wiki page. Right now you're playing like you've gone full retard. How 'bout you make some cogent, well-reasoned arguments instead of playing to your admitted scum meta.

If you check the game in question and my play here, you'll see it's very different.

Not getting the Irish Pope/Zoidberg tension. It feels contrived, given they're both flinging baseless arguments back and forth as if they had merit.
Otherwise, I definitely don't like how inflammatory Irish Pope is, especially in response to Skullduggery.
We're getting nowhere as it is.

My history with big games has generally been a pretty big day 1, then short days for the rest. Honestly, I'd prefer lynching out weaker players so they don't make it to those last clutch days.
Also, those players could easily be scum hiding behind the guise of being a weak player, or playing to their meta, etc.
Not that there's much else to go on at page 8 right now. Eh, maybe I'll comb the thread and notice something worthwhile.
What I got from this:

"Skull seems town- wait, no that's how scum can play too."
"Pope-Zoidberg is contrived, Pope is being obtuse."
"I'm all for policy lynching weaker players, regardless of alignment."
"You see, newer players -could- be scum."
"I might re-read."

1/5 useful things. :mad:

Not my fault if players have terrible perception.

More aware players could pick up a lot from what I'm putting down, but I'll spell it out for you.

Skull is null leaning town.
Pope and Zoidberg are both scum-reads of mine.
I support my vote on Metal Sonic because he's not doing anything to advance a strong town agenda and because he's coming off as a weaker player that I'd rather not have around in a Lylo situation.

Also, (this is mostly a bone for BRO, who wants to see more reaction shenanigans from me), one could see what I wrote as a deliberate attempt to cull a response like the ones I got from you guys. It's interesting that Desperado slams a vote, where T S O just calls it largely useless and does nothing about it. This makes me lean Desperado more town than T S O, even though Desperado is being defensive about his naked vote. Desperado, you don't need to be so defensive if you're town. /shrug.

Regardless, I'll post what I want, when I want, how I want. If you guys have a problem with that, give me hell for it, but you'll just be antagonizing town.

Sorry, didn't catch that.
Please quote stuff that you're responding to if it isn't on the same page, man.
At the least, I feel a lot better about my town-read on you now.

In post 119, Zed17 wrote:Vote: MEtal Sonic

114 is weird, thought process doesn't seem natural. I doubt that if he were really wondering about scum's flavor he would say there's no scum in the game right above it.

117 is also concerning if we take 114's context. If he were scum, his thought process would follow as something like 'why is my flavor so out of place with my alignment' which is a lot more reasonable than if he were town going along the lines of 'why do i have bad guys in my flavor if I'm town'. More likely the former because if he were town thinking what I just wrote (given what he said before), he wouldn't have asked about scum's flavor because he knew it wouldn't be alignment indicative.
Have you played with MS before?

Varsoon's first content post worries me a little. It would worry me a lot of TIP weren't in this thread, because Varsoon might not be being the VI because we already have one.

NS is coming off as town. One of my stronger townreads.

I don't like day 1 lynching VIs, because I feel like they tend to be town more often than scum. I don't actually see scum-motivation in TIPs actions, just stupid motivation.

E Roll have you ever played with MS?

Actually that question applies to everyone on the MS wagon? Have you played with him before?

TSO can be town for now too. Yeah, TSO is my strongest townread at this point.

Skullduggery can be town too.

TIP's VI-ness feels more like an act than actual VI behavior, and it's interesting that an MS counter-wagon has started to form.

VOTE: TIP if he flips scum than I want to look at that MS wagon.

You don't like voting for VIs, you don't see scum motivation, but at the same time you think it's an act and that he's scummy and you're voting him?

NS = Nobody Special, right? If so, how is he one of your stronger Town reads already when he's made a grand total of two posts -- both of which are basically just saying that he'll be more active later? I get nothing from that.

Null, sure. Null-leaning-Town, understandable. One of your strongest Town reads, though? I don't see how that's possible.

Scum flavor is the bad/evil/mischievous side of Calvin.
If Metal Sonic was Scum, why would he tell us this?
My theory is that his disappointment with the very bad and lame, flavor resulted in sub-optimal play.

If you think my premise is wrong what do you think he intended to convey by saying there is no scum only Calvin?
Good question. I think Metal Sonic would be more qualified to answer it, though.
I was kind of hoping Metal Sonic would actually answer this, but...

Suppose Metal Sonic is Scum and the flavor really is that the Scum team is different evil sides of Calvin. It would be detrimental for him to tell everybody what his team's flavor is because after we get a flip or two, we're all going to wonder how Metal Sonic knew what the Scum flavor was ahead of time. Then, of course, we'd draw the logical conclusion and lynch him.

I'm inclined to say that Metal Sonic is Town for this reason alone. Worthless Town, sure, but Town nonetheless.
