you say the wagon is moving slowly, when much of the plist are scum reading me for apparently reasons that im swimming with the tide when ANYONE THAT PAYS ATTENTION TO MY META AT ALL can realise that this is my towngame
@shelly skimming through your completed towngames (notably, newbie 2025), as well as Newbie 2019 (a scumgame), it seems like you create fluff and posture more when you're scum than when you're town; your play this game is pinging me a lot more like the latter than the former. i'll do a more thorough metadive later, but you're looking scummier the more i meta you, so i don't think your meta is saving you here.

wifom. does. not. fucking. exist
can you elaborate on spinning in circles, where do you expect me to go
why do you think Taylor push is weird
do you think creating town blocks are AI?
you’re filling up spaces with words to try and miselim me
sure flip me for info but remember scum are probably on-wagon now as im pretty miselimable as town
you attacked taylor for fence sitting and calling bm/nora tvt for a really long while until you realized it wasn't in your best interest to do so until essentially flip-flopping to
943 where you do exactly what you've been calling out

not to steal from TGP the chance to respond but: yes. trying to create townblocs is scum indicative
creating townblocs is generally helpful for town, but it's more helpful for scum if those townblocs are forced, which this looks like to me. moreover, scum infiltrating a townbloc is much better for scum than the townbloc is for town, so i'm inclined to agree with menalque here.
menal and bob have made some really good points above this
@ico
they're explaining the general case on shelly pretty well i know you wanted to see that
Reading through her posts at times it's certainly been hard to nail down actually what her reads are. As she seemed to flip between scum reading noora, considering that she might be town after all, fully scum reading her, finding her town and then now back to scum. With norra benign on her will lynch list.
That post must be what shelly must have been trying to spin as town meta. Where she changed her read to suit the current gamestate. But also noticed that she floated the idea of nora v bm being tvt. Back before pushing taylor for saying she thought it was tvt in post
275 and scum reading her for it.
And then full comes down on it being tvt in posts you referenced. Something that she scum read taylor for. If she was town and had re-evaluated on norra vs BM. I would have thought she would have also re-evaluated her read on taylor at that point. As if shelly was town wouldn't she have had considered that taylor was just doing the same as her. And feel the need re-evaluated all her reads and not just liek appears the ones that suited her.

here's where we disagree -- I think townblocs are good for town. I think creating/trying to create townblocs tends to be something scum are more interested in because it allows them to infiltrate or otherwise manipulate those townblocs. when they form naturally between a group of players I'm a big fan!

Expand pls. I stopped my tunneling but I'm far from convinced that bm is town.

I don't get ur whole case on me. Ur whole case is kinda "she so scummy, scum scum scummy" and that's about it. I specifically already said that I felt discouraged by BM's "tunneling" at the beginning so I did not engage as much as I normally would. Heck I have games where I engaged more than this as fucking scum.

feels more like you don't wanna have to work and fake reads
i feel like town!you should feel better about this game now that BM opened the door for you to do other things, because like you said, ur more emotional then logical (which is perfectly fine btw!)
I am feeling better about it but i already said multiple times that IM FUCKING BUSY. Would you prefer I just replace out? If ur scum, u'll think no since I'm great limbait. If ur town, u'll think yes but ur not allowed to tell me that anyways so I'm just being petty rn.

do you understand the concept of mafia where it's like kinda a big deal to also find solid townreads, and not just scumreads?
Do you understand that I have close to zero experience being town with my only finished games all being scum games?

This literally reads like you were forced to go look at a slot and fabricate a read there,
because you were asked to do so
.
Not because you are interested in solving
.
Wow maybe because that is exactly the case. I have already said I'm busy asf during the week and can only do replies to things. Im not going to ISO dive or reread the thread during the week since this is the only game that I've paid close to zero attention to so far.
Im fed up with u. This is OMGUSy however ur points r trash and ur not reading my post explaining that I put this game on the back burner for a bit and now catching up completely is hard. I already promised to do it over the weekend so can u just shut it for a bit?

This is an anger vote that I will remove if I think appropriate.
In post 1078, shellyc wrote:ok I can go deeper
noraa starting a hard tunnel on BM is kinda town indicative in a way that it broke the game early out of RVS and actually created a whole bunch of interactions which is protown
Like their hyper focus on BM and BM only reads town because scum kinda has to posture around everyone
u sure flipped sides fast. and all ur arguments regardless of which side u were are just sheeping tons of other people's.

also, to the points that made me reconsider, things like the reaction to ico outing the fake was kinda artificial? the push on me for essentially swimming with the tide isn’t exactly town pinging either
so tunneling is your scumplay?

My brain says BM is scummy but my gut says he's town
Last time I played with scum him he was more...tactictal. He's going on a rampage of conflict/attention posting which does look scummy, but is more common from townies. Contrast it to Noraa which is kinda playing cute and saying she's suspicious of someone but not acting on it. I don't have any read on Noraa, but her behavior feels like maintaining the status quo vs BM going out of his way to pursue something.
Dunno, I wanted to write this in case anyone is indecise on how they read the slot.

This isn't necessarily bad by the way. I repeat, I don't have any opinion on her, it's only an example to contrast to BM.

Maybe if you care so much about being meta-proof, you could go and look at...I dunno, one of my many dozens of completed games, and tell me whether you think I'm scummy, or the towniest town you've ever seen.
She didn't say anything about caring for meta but BM still insists. I could see him recently having played aggressive town games and be trying to replicate it here. Maybe I should ignore my assumptions. Maybe.

In post 81, Battle Mage wrote:"meta is trash"? an odd thing for a newbie who has never completed a game as town to say. Meta can be very useful, although it isn't a silver bullet. Also useful is the threat of meta - and the
"meta is trash" line is a real cheap
way to try and discourage people from using an alternative avenue for scrutinising others
Don't assume you or even people themselves know enough about themselves. In my 2 years experience meta has been a negative route for reads, often something disappoiting because many times I had a hunch for a scum read in the slot.
It's fine to use it but you've been posting about it non-stop.
