If mastin can ignore my walls I can ignore his. And I can pretty clearly see there is no point in engaging you.

VOTE: Aegor
ActionDan- Is this the part where we sing a duet of A whole new world or Hakuna Matata?
Brian Skies- Using intentional ragequits is a bannable offense I believe.
Voting an obviously town-aligned player.
Engaging action dan about nothing.
Wow this post looks so town-aligned.
You are doing exactly what I'm scumreading mastin for doing, except even more blatantly and going against the grain a little more.
I don't see how this is the case. The only motivation I see in scumreading skull is lazy motivation, he must not be reading the guy's posts.In post 885, Angry Frat BROs wrote:Please. Why are YOU ignoring how ridiculously town Orcinus is being. His suspicions are pretty town motivated, hes just horribly wrong.In post 864, Cephrir wrote:Orc, have you really seen nothing more suspicious in this thread than Skull arguably rolefishing you in one place? Why are you content to be a one vote wagon on him (and not seeming very worried about no one listening to you), and why are you ignoring how town he is otherwise?
Also, he was ridiculously town in 165, and is not living up to that. His play here reminds me instead of 167. He's still getting upset about things and pushing on them, but those things don't make as much sense, and in a void in both cases I read him as nulltown as opposed to obvtown. In 167 I didn't trust my instincts to hold him to an obvtown standard and lo and behold, scum. Speaking of which, I thought sangres was more town in that game than they have been in this one, and they weren't. If I had to guess right now I might not even put them at null.
I hate all of these sentences. Most notably the first one. You can tell me all you want how it's actually a town mindset to hold one's cards close to one's chest (which I also happen not to believe, thinking about inventing suspicions is a scum mindset) but actually coming out and saying "I need to fake scumread this person" is just an attempt to look town because you've completely invalidated your own point.In post 890, Angry Frat BROs wrote: Varsoon - I need to scumread him at some point and vote him and see if he gets upset about it. Him being sick could make me think hes just being passively scummy here.
Cabd - Really, why are you voteparking mastin so hard?
MafiaSSK - Can't actually remember anything he's done, but its MafiaSSK so :hitoshrug:
I just don't see how we get from point A to point Scum here.In post 894, orcinus_theoriginal wrote:actually sorry wait i completely misread skull's post because i was assuming he was just parroting what he said earlierIn post 863, Cephrir wrote:This is not actually a contradictionIn post 852, orcinus_theoriginal wrote:In post 851, Skullduggery wrote:A fair point. Did I ask Orcinus about anything other than his hated claim, though? No. No I did not. Would someone be so kind as to point this out to Orc? He obviously isn't listening to me (probably because he doesn't want to admit that he's wrong).In post 537, Skullduggery wrote:Why are you hated and why do you stop being hated on Night 2?
skull didn't ask me anything other than the hated claim, but it's the fact that he asked me to elaborate on the hated claim that makes him scum
when did i ever suggest anything important about skull outside of interaction w/ my claim??

Unrealtedly, do you have any reads this game that aren't popular opinion?
I'm still weirded out by how easily you gave Cabd a free pass. I happen to think he's likely town, and you did say something like '165 was a long time ago' but have you even been opposite alignments since then? (the answer to this could easily be yes, I don't know)

No idea. Maybe I've set popular opinion in a couple cases?Unrealtedly, do you have any reads this game that aren't popular opinion?
We've been opposite alignments twice since then, unless one of the games was going on during late 165. I'm pretty smug about both games, actually. Also, I've seen a lot more of both his scum game and town game since then both as a hydra with him and not.I'm still weirded out by how easily you gave Cabd a free pass.

Even right after 165, I was trying to maintain a non-paranoia zone on day 1 of our games. Your FEA game was a decent example.

Does he only have three completed games or something? I wouldn't call that a meta-dive.In post 868, pieguyn wrote: ftr here's the games I looked at
scum: Open 424: Jungle Republic, Mini 1442: House of Cards
town: The Red Wedding
The wording here is weird. Rather than "he wasn't role fishing" you basically say we shouldn't care that he was rolefishing. So, do you believe he was rolefishing, or not?In post 870, Metal Sonic wrote:Btw orc skulduggery is so obviously town who cares about role fishing when you outed your own role lol
Pardon me if your words don't exactly make me feel better.In post 874, Kagami wrote:Still town as always.
So...is he or is he not scum?In post 874, Kagami wrote:If there is any scum on the brian wagon, I would think it has to be metal sonic or muffin. Flandre's naked vote is not scummy, imo. MS's notebook pic is terrible, but I think if ms were trying to say "omg, only town would keep notes about the game!" he would have made the notebook much busier and taken a picture that shows more of his "notes." The notebook thing might actually be town.
Calling for my lynch when you're not even voting me? Nice.In post 879, Angry Frat BROs wrote:Da Herp de derp derp. YOU ARE ALL WELCOME TO ADMIT YOU WERE WRONG ABOUT KAZE AND LYNCH THIS CLOWN ANY DAY NOW
I mean, if you want a wagon, you should really try harder. Not that it'll matter. You won't mislynch me.

Because he's not aware that MafiaSSK lurks 5eva? I don't see your point here.In post 881, Angry Frat BROs wrote:Also 819 is one of the towniest posts ever. Aegor is basically confirmed town.

That doesn't mean I don't expect other people to try.
I think what I missed about this was how many pages there were between your read list and your vote. I was thinking the reactions would be functionally identical.

One is allowed to have unclear reads, but if they are going to push those reads as hard as they have been and present them as objective fact, that's when they need to be clear. Otherwise they're just hoping people will sheep them if they yell loud enough as opposed to because they actually make persuasive arguments. Yelling loud enough does work, which is why my suspects basically never get lynched except when I try to scream them (read: I am apparently remarkably unpersuasive in general) but it's also a scum tactic, and if they believe all their reads as strongly as they appear to it should be no trouble to articulate why. And yet, for instance, you became scum at the drop of a hat because quote-stripes-followed-by-lol-youre-scum.In post 907, Kazekirimaru wrote:I think you're pushing the "people with unclear reads are scum" angle a bit too hard.In post 901, Cephrir wrote:You are doing exactly what I'm scumreading mastin for doing, except even more blatantly and going against the grain a little more.

"to their meta".Angry Frat BROs wrote:Ew meta, abort conversation, abort the question.
Stop misreading people who play to their meta. TIA
It's not so much playing to meta as it is a meta-trajectory, and the town games landing along a curve. I don't think he has any idea where I expect his game to go next, because I don't have expectations. When I see it, I see that the curve makes sense.

If you misread someone on meta, you meta'd them incorrectly. No one can play to their meta perfectly.In post 912, Angry Frat BROs wrote:Ew meta, abort conversation, abort the question.

Also, telling ffery to ignore meta is like telling her to stop breathing. You know this.

Meta is only actually good for invalidating scum/town tells on people. Not generating them.
Kind of. I get the impression he isn't reading everything : PIn post 913, Cephrir wrote:You can't do it anymore once you say that.
And I would never blatantly reaction test someone like that to see if they raged. Far too generic of a thing to look for. Im sure Varsoon is totally capable of being upset when hes scum.
I do WANT him to rage though because I think it will make him more transparent.
