I'm irritated you keep saying this. I don't want to play wifom with Ali. Not winding up in my pool =/= not drafted and I would expect you both to pass that logic test.

As for why AF's argument is wrong, bad content is worse than no content.
Explain to me what I'm missing then. Seriously.

We're not on Alisae's team. We're not in your mason group. We significantly discount the idea that you didn't take any masons. I don't see how we end up in this position unless you just didn't want us. Your explanation that we'll clash but move beyond it is frustrating to me because of that one game that had multiple PTs. Space Dandy 2?

Like ... you're unimpeachable for obvious reasons. We kind of thought we would be also.

Apology accepted. You'll still have to accept some side eye based on burden of proficiency though. You claimed you weren't a mason in the public thread after all, despite our years of playing together. You also claimed not to read for detail. Again, that's not you like.

I'll need you to tell me who is scum.

~Titus
I reject BoP. I frequently make (poor?) assumptions in games with mechanics new to me. This is demonstrable pretty much always.

Day one first 24 hours scum reads? From me? This should be hilariously good.

Alisae is totally scum this game. Have you SEEN the shitposting?

Scum in: {TSE, FL, FA, Espe, S&W} <--- they all have at least weak evidence in my thoughts so far. Generally takes more than that plus Cerb poking logic before I'm more certain though, and it's still pretty early his time.

This is a horrible scum list.

FL is not scum. Espe is not scum. And TSE is just a village idiot with a high chance of being town but annoying.
You know, you're going to get zero pushback when you call any reads given by this hydra terrible on D1.

Like, we don't even give reads lists D1. I have no idea wtf Drixx is smoking thinking leaving the game for months suddenly gave him the ability to actually read people on D1.

Can both of you explain your stance on this? I could maybe see it coming from scum if he had claimed it unprompted but there were two ascetic claims before Pine's post, which probably triggered his claim in the first place.

Posted: **Sat Feb 08, 2020 7:44 am**

I kinda buy that Drixx joined the game thinking he would not have to effort about his own alignment and now is annoyed that he's not a mason?

Also thinking there's scum inside Boon/FA/Espe seems both reasonable and intuitive given the gamestate at the time the reads were given?

The only scummy thing in that group is Bitmap arguing, totally without justification, that there is NOT scum inside Boon or Espe, which he only later explains is due to wifomy pick spec that seems unconvincing. I don't see why he was so confident in rejecting Drixx's PoE there.

I'd say it'll be easier to read RR in time but I know from experience that doesn't tend to be true, they tend to be a slot I second guess myself on a lot but if I was going to scumread them it wouldn't be for any of those tbh.

Someone else asked if my suspicion on Pine is role related or claim related. For me, it is both.

Kill Pine to make people not ascetic. We have already had one ascetic claim that he was a powerful role, so to allow a protective to cover that role, Pine needs to go.

Moreover, so other roles can investigate them.

I also have claim related reason to think what Pine did is bad. I think it narrows the pool down for who can be a power role or not. Pine said his role requires him to die for towns benefit. And as such he’s going to try hard. He shouldn’t need to claim and get all of that info in order to try and get killed. Claiming he is an enabler IF there is a scum ascetic just means scum are NOT going to kill him.

I mean, perhaps, but we don't know if the town even has direct investigatives

maybe it's ALL MASONS and then 3 vigs!

I mean probably not but saying we should lynch a slot off day 1 setup spec seems weaksauce

for all we know scum have 3 different roleblockers and people are ascetic so that they can have night action results

like we can't just presume that the ascetic enabler is exclusively pro-scum based on day 1 setup info

I don’t have an issue with the readlist itself. I have an issue with the qualifications both heads put on the readslist after Titus wanted one. I think they were trying to placate Titus with humor and doing what she wanted to diffuse a situation they potentially saw going very poorly for them if Titus is able to mind meld so effectively with them.

I really didn’t like Cerb calling out Drixx’s readlist with the joke about being away for so long. Everyone knows that readslists this early are usually very wrong. Why draw so much attention to that fact?

Posted: **Sat Feb 08, 2020 7:50 am**

I guess that's a fair tonal reaction, I just disagree. If you want to push them off that I'll be curious to see who agrees with you.

I don't think relating Esp's to another certain someone's town play and thinking "Oh they're probably town" is that out of the ordinary. And Boon is through associative tells in which I think it's probably unlikely.

I've seen people generally make very "X is town" or "X is scum" assumptions as town and I don't think it's AI at this early in the game.

There’s also the fact that I saw Pine scum do a day 1 partial massclaim, so I have reason to doubt his intentions here.

I mean, maybe, but setups aren’t likely to be like the type you said. The last few Pine v. Camn and Alisae v. Pine did not feature setups as bimodal as you’re suggesting.

Actually Sherlock, I know for a fact that you've seen players that have been even more overtly confident than me in their reads this early on in other games that ended up being town (RE: Magical Girls).

So I think your reasoning is kind of bad.

I do agree that Pine should die at some point as his role strongly points to there being a scum ascetic but what reasons does scum!Pine have to claim that? If he's scum and all ascetic claims are town, then that strongly helps out town if he dies and it's even worse if there's a scum ascetic on his side. Pine is also hinting that there's more to his role than just being ascetic enabler.

If we are gonna lynch him then we're not gonna do it today but I think this play comes from town.

I'm not critiquing you for confidence, I'm critiquing you for confidence *on those slots*, which consists of almost half my PoE. That makes it feel like you're not so much in "bad reads" territory as "scum agenda" territory but who knows, it's still early

That's fine, whatever. I'm saying that confidence is not AI especially this early in the game and PoEs will conflict especially with players that are hot heads.
