This post seems a lot more town than not; I'm not sure dave would be treating a player incessantly tunneling on him like this if he was scum.

If pistachi0n had done it before most of the people in the game had already posted it would have been a stronger play, but the delayed entrance made it a much less risky proposition as a scum gambit. and then he was away for another day after, and by the time he came back Ami was no longer even voting for him. He hasn't done enough of anything else to give me a strong feeling about him. TicTac I thought had a strong entrance, but then the rest of his posting has been kind of meh. Sakura it's possible there's a language or cultural thing going on there but the whole exchange with him was just weird. The way he jumped on whether or not my random vote was serious did not make any sense at all. Skybird hasn't done much of anything. I kind of liked Ami's point about him, so he might be more a leaning scum than a total null.
Why is it that we ended up in the middle without a nod in our direction? I figured you would be at least somewhat interested in working with me (Nacho) after Classic, and I'm always surprised when people who haven't played with Plot before don't townread them immediately.

I meant that if we assume she was scum then we have to assume she is playing badly.
If we assume she is town then we are making assumptions about the game setup that we cant back up and have no way to confirm.
I don't like either of those choices.
The way that you're pushing at this probably means that there's something about your mindset that I don't understand, but.
Amihan claims miller in response to Pistachion claiming miller. If she is town, this doesn't automatically mean that Pistachion is scum. The only way that this leads to an incredibly crappy response is if town blindly follows Amihan's claim to a lynch (which is what you were doing), that's "making assumptions about the game setup that we can't back up". Voting Pistach even though you were decently confident that Amihan makes absolutely no sense, and "maybe I was wrong" doesn't clear things up at all for me. Maybe you were wrong, yes, but you felt it was more likely that you were right so don't you usually make the plays that are the most likely to be right?
