187- SSK and Four Trouble are town. No elaboration, instead votes muffin without any reason behind it.
203- He lists all 3 main-ish wagons as the most likely to be scum. There's no real sign of trying to figure out anyones alignment.'
228- They've been voted most for a reason. They're just suspicious. He's changing his story and backtracking all over the place
280- Backtracks on 2 of his scumreads (at least), shares no other information, adds nothing to the game.
295- (Side note: Scum have daytalk? Looks like a scumslip imo). Defends himself without adding anything to discuss.
345- When Aronis flips scum I'm coming back to this because it looks like a chainsaw. The entirety of that post is to call Ross null.
353- This kinda looks town, I'll grant that.
391- This looks like a scumclaim imo. He's trying to blend in and do nothing to help so after we lynch his sorry ass we'll have nothing to go on. What's the town motivation for blending in?
602- Votes Selkies when he's said Selkies is suspicious all game, after he unvotes like 300 posts before.
He's hardcore lurking and trying to sit in the background and push popular wagons in an attempt to blend in and survive.
The narrative you tell doesn't make a lot of sense to me. I don't see what's inherently scummy about trying to "blend in and survive." I think weak players often put more energy as town into surviving instead of finding the scum.
187 and 203 are things both alignments do, all the time.
228 - How is he changing his story? The post looked genuine to me, something town would say.
So it went from they're most likely to be scum to "they're just a bit suspicious" It's kinda like going from a scumread to a 3/4 null 1/4 scum read without any justification. It's like he came under heat and "Oh nah man it's just a nullscum"
280 - There is nothing scummy about changing your opinion. He explains the logic behind his reads, and it looks more like town given his level of competence (clearly not very high).
There was no logic behind his Selkies read yet he avoids voting Selkies altogether. Does competence level imply alignment in your opinion?
295 - We know scum have daytalk cause of the rules. It isn't a scumslip. He further explains his change in opinion, which in retrospect was a very natural and fluid change in opinion.
Oh, missed that. Okay, I can agree on this point.
345 - What do you mean this is a chainsaw defense? To me, this post was pretty town. I don't see scum responding to my request for thoughts on Ross.
Why wouldn't they? By that, I mean pseudo-attacking the person suggesting ross being scum. Hell, Ross's vote on his wagon atm looks most like a bus vote.
353 - Why does this look town?
Self defeatism is becoming a more and more prominent town trait. This post read as genuine frustration.
391 - The town motivation is surviving. He explains it in the post. It makes a lot of sense, given his level of competence.
Again, scum newbies are worried about the SAME thing.
602 - I don't see it persuasive in either direction. It's not a strong post, but his explanation doesn't really look contrived.
It looks kinda contrived to me.
