so you are figuring the lover claim is fake, JR? I have my doubts as well, with the no-voter and double-voter who can't vote? seems rough...but, then, I guess I shouldn't put it past RC from what I understand

I actually agree with Postie here. Though being Arwen, I'm a little disturbed by the reference.

If you guys are lynching me, let's get this over with. There are at least two scum on my wagon right now, assuming our two voteless players are town (an increasing "if"). That leaves one for the hammer (if they're smart -- unless they've already put all their eggs in my basket). That leaves those off my wagon, post-hammer, as pretty safe townreads for the rest of you.

If we're not lynching me today, there's a fair bit of content in this game. My slot is/was the lowest-hanging fruit available, but since when does it benefit town to go after the easiest lynch? Is there seriously no one in this game with a scummier presence than my slot? If so, why aren't you/we talking about it? Quiet, lazy towns don't win games. A plague of townies acting like scum with opportunistic, sheepy votes doesn't win games.

It's fair to assume that everyone will be checking in before the end of the day, so it's not too late make a new choice, or at least get some kind of discussion going.
In post 1672, The DEO wrote: Oh and FYI I don't think Rach Marie was fake V/LA obv it is a matter of when Town she leaves something to go off of and instantaneously posts reads. Neither happened here.
How is she going to do that when she's too busy to even read the game? Her posts, reads, and votes were bizarre from any perspective. It's pretty obvious that she was too distracted to give this game much thought, and I just don't see how that's AI. Unless you really think the sum of her/my work was more likely motivated by a scum role than a town role, then your reasons for scumreading her/me are faulty. (this goes for the whole wagon, not just you).

p-edit -- yikes, that timing. JaeReed, we might have the same song and dance tomorrow, or we might return with better information, pulling me out of the scum pool.
p-p-edit -- I'm loved, not lover. Dreal. I believe there's a big difference.

I meant loved obviously

EVERYONE

on the point of RM!!!!

now that the game I was JUST SCUM WITH HER finished, I can fucking talk about it/her

she did the exact same shit in that game she did here

at the exact same time as she was doing it in this game - I couldn't call it out at the time obviously but, I am SO SURE she (the slot) is scum

GAHHH it's all sooo gigantic and obvious to me because it all just happened

go look at the game

and when The DEO says "she'd give SOMETHING as town to try and help town" it makes it all even more clearer to me

I don't doubt her issues committing to playing, the issue comes with how she dealt with it - scumslidingby - no doubt

No I don't think it's fake. I think boring is town.

So you're saying that RM was in more than one game, V/LA across them, and that makes her scum? Doesn't that just make her unable to play? Did she replace out of that game?

So tell me what I'm obviously not understanding? And I did read your post and have been looking into the hydra iso for that game. I'm already feeling like RM did more in that game than she did here. Can you tell me if she replaced there as well?

go tothe point in time in the game that coincides with this game

no she didn't replace

she played exactly as she played here, scummy as hell but with enough excuses and lack of involvement that she was allowed to (very stupidly) live

I was scum with her there

I am town here

and when her things were happening at the same time with my different knowledge in each game and the view that allowed me I could clearly see what she was doing here for what it was - I think she even knew it but because the game was active knew I couldn't do dick about it - and now she's out of here where I can't address it with her and she can't talk about it or anything - scummmmmm

seriously, I have NO DOUBT, man - it's just like some weird coincidental game-going on shit where I was able to get a unique perspective on it all - I've got the inside knowledge or something I feel like, but don't know how to articulate it as well as I'd like, I admit

Meh, if you don't want neither of boring or Lycanfire, I have a good proposal. Though, it's better to stick with boring as we already have a valid case on the slot and we really need to understand this resistance. Lycanfire's lynch seemed way faster and I think he's probably just a VI.

Postie on my wavelength, a good sign given the last game we had together (now let us never speak of that again). I'm not sure I'd have been lock town on shadow here, but i don't see at all the idea that his emotions were themselves scummy.

It isn't that Rach Marie had little time. V/LA is never fake. It was the time RM did have was spent ranting about being voted for what little time they did have instead of reads. In Wake's game they were busy and hadn't met everyone but still dropped reads. RM also didn't do anything for reads in the hood. I would have been fine with even the weakest bit of game solving but nothing

Take a look at from when they announced VLA until December 15th.

They had the wherewithal to realize that the game was in Twilight and then spam multiple days about how busy they are with no reads at all. If you have that much time to rant you have that much time to post reads.

It makes me wonder if there is some weird catch-22 going on in the game (both for scum and town! so weird!)
To explain more, if The Sun is scum, but Night can't come because The Sun is constantly "out" (alive), and scum can't perform a kill until Night...
that would mean scum have to rely on mislynches only until perchance The Sun gets lynched and then it is business as usual ?
so as much as they want to perform NKs, they don't want their own lynched
and as much as we (town) don't want NKs, we want to lynch scum, and if that is The Sun, and makes Night come
yeah, catch-22 for both
I can see RC doing that
not that I want to distract from what I think is a good lynch in RM, but, no one is really pushing that or going there it seems and I think I just sold myself on creature as scum!
UNVOTE: RachMarie
VOTE: Creature
This idea actually occurred to me as well. Not sure there's much point in pursuing it at this stage though; if scum are actually prevented from killing indefinitely, then even if creature is scum we're in pretty good shape since it gives us a bunch of extra mislynches we can afford.
Slight town points for the paranoia here though.

not that it really matters, but that's not exactly correct.

I quoted someone who likes to do that (TWC), I personally feel like it's a waste of space and since part of the point is to be helpful to those who are reading it, greening myself just makes it harder to use.

What about his reads fails to make sense?

What in the world makes you think Deimos is good enough as a player to have a solid concept of associative scum-reads? Or why it would be unreasonable for him to have scunmreads that make more sense if RM was town, given that on day 2 it's entirely possible he was simply wrong on RM?

Decent question by Kuroi.

Skimmed the first three, each seemed more contenty than this one. dito the last one.

borings kind of a null on her own but RachMarie was scummy and it seems like we keep getting counter-wagons on that slot popping up

VOTE: boring

nothing close to 100% but I think decent odds of hitting scum

smith, why is your only question to me one that isn't likely to give you an AI answer? Considering I've been a pusher of both counterwagons to boring I'd imagine you'd have better questions for me than that.

As far as your question... No, I look at who was lynched and what they flipped, then I read, usually, while trying to keep up with current postings. I don't generally pay attention to replacements until I hit that point in my read. What were you hoping to learn from that?
