In general, though, would you want the comically scummy players to all survive into LYLO?In post 2021, Bert wrote:
when they are comically scummy in a way that you feel is scum. your read on Aronis might be right, for all i know. i don't think he's scum. see how ffery said that Aronis seems newbtown? several people have said that this game, so it's not just me. matter of opinion and having to discern in games between lots of comically scummy players, rather than lynch them one by one and possibly lose and let the strong scum players slip by

I didn't use the absolute 'all.' If I think they are town, I'm going to defend them. I think Aronis is town and am pretty damn sure, or else I wouldn't be strong defending him all day today after wanting him lynched suddenly at the end of d1. There is a reason for everything.
I do lynch comically scummy players if I think they are actually scum.-

here's my aronis case
so first off, in reading newbies like aronis, you don't attack their scumhunting. they don't know how--that's what makes them new.
so even though i think that their cases on basically everyone sucks, we discount them for the purposes of reading his alignment.
the bits that are telling for me are a lot of his awkward moments. i think that awkwardness is the most telling bit for new scum players. take fuzzy in last tales game--a bit off in his thought process for sure, but his posts had trajectory.
this does not. this is random, this is naked and unreasonable anger at something that impacts a hypothetical scum win-con.In post 1382, Aronis wrote:

Meta time guys
Interesting
this post, tbh, comprises much more of my scumread on aronis than it should. assuming he's scum, if I were a newbie in aronis' shoes, I'd be pretty satisfied with my scumplay. I think that this response demonstrates perfectly that he feels that being lynched would be unfair and undeserving wrt his play, which is perfectly in-line with this narrative. This fits much more in aronis-scum model than it does with aronis-town.
a lot of aronis' play this game can be described as overeager, which is a trait in newbies that can swing to both alignments. fuzzy was overeager as fuck. aronis displays the same, but there is a lot less town motivation in his overeagerness. his dayvig claim had no plan behind it--like, even early-varsoonhad some inkling of what he wanted to accomplish.
also the whole ordeal with the dishing out of "town points" really just seems like scum getting into a rut because they don't know what to say.- Selkies

I've always had you down as scum, since the beginning of D2. It wasn't just entirely to save myself.In post 1946, Selkies wrote:
What do you think about Aronis voting to tie up our wagon with his?In post 1942, Bert wrote:Nacho if he really believed in an Aronis lynch could sway it.
Ditto with Ffery on Goodfather.
And what would you think if I did the same thing and put him ahead and at L-2?
So I'm going to guess you haven't read through the whole game, so what, if any, opinion do you have of D1, specifically the end?In post 1962, Guyett wrote:Aronis and selkies are both likely scum
Is there a connection between me and Selkies, are do we both just seem scum?
Other then being newbish, Do you think my play is more scum or town and why?
To clear up anything about the QT and me no longer posting in it. I would rather discuss things in this thread and it can be rather depressing having your neighbors saying your scum, etc. You get the point.- Aronis

Since you're still alive atm. I'll bombard you with some questions like everyone else.
Why are nacho and zmuffin town?
I just had a crazy thought, don't lynch me for it!, What if there was a Cabd-SSK scum team. Cabd gets the town to pick a target, then if they are town, use the scumkill on them and SSK blocks the fake scumkill and claims the person he protected was the third scum. Or if the target is a Mafia, SSK blocks Cabd's kill bc he thinks they are town and the scum just random kill someone. It's crazy and unrealistic, but I've seen it happen.- Bert

1. You're a self-professed newbie. Where did you see it happen?In post 2038, Aronis wrote: I just had a crazy thought, don't lynch me for it!, What if there was a Cabd-SSK scum team. Cabd gets the town to pick a target, then if they are town, use the scumkill on them and SSK blocks the fake scumkill and claims the person he protected was the third scum. Or if the target is a Mafia, SSK blocks Cabd's kill bc he thinks they are town and the scum just random kill someone. It's crazy and unrealistic, but I've seen it happen.
2. That would take balls of granite, and would put Cabd (who nobody really seemed to profess as scumread on) in unnecessary spotlight. This alone makes it unlikely.
3. This conclusion is not supported by Cabd's earlier mention of a no-kill gambit in response to my statement that SSK could be cleared by blocking a scumkill. In other words, Cabd is not shoring up any sort of town credit for SSK based on SSK's claim, which he would want to do following your theory.
4. This sounds like an attempt to deflect attention.- Bert

To explain. Sometimes I post random stuff, that isn't serious, like the Meta post. Dishing out town points is giving my town reads without having to post any damn reasoning, win-win for me. The dayvig was not serious. I thought you guus realized that, then I was shocked when you actually believed it.In post 2034, Selkies wrote:here's my aronis case
