Apologies for the delay. Certain parties are aware of why. (Let's just say that yesterday, I was planning on prod-dodging and focusing on something, but that circumstances made that no longer necessary yet made me emotionally compromised enough where I ironically prod-dodged
anyway
. Deep breaths of fresh air later, and I think I should be okay.)
Are not as good as butts.
(SO damn true. >_<)
While true, what the hell in that post made you declare that? There was literally nothing in 773 that I wouldn't also post as scum.
In post 788, Metal Sonic wrote:Dammit now this town is split into a pro-pieguy lynch camp and pro-mastin lynch camp
Help pls we need to sort this out(this is to everyone by the way)
If Metal Sonic is scum (he is), then pie's town.
In post 792, Angry Frat BROs wrote:Pieguy is the one who claimed Bodyguard? Then no. We should be lynching Cephrir, Flandre, Kaze.
I'll need the Kaze read explained.
Might be relevant.
Playing devil's advocate, that can be attributed to them being an alt and wanting to protect their identity. But as you can tell by me saying this is advocating for the devil, I happen to be in agreement anyway.
Basically, their entire posting comes across as being insincere. Artificial as well (though that could be alt-protection), cautious certainly, but the main issue I have with it is that even through the filter of an alt, I'd expect basically any player to come across as being sincere; I saw none.
I know zMuff. This isn't his scum-play. I realize that often-times, my scumdar could use calibration. I realize that as of late, I haven't generally been able to lock onto these known reads instantaneously. So in theory it would be possible for me to be fallible when it comes to my zMuf read. But I'm not. He is town. I can tell.
While I don't exactly see Metal Sonic as the, ah, brightest bulb in a batch, I also don't see him as the dimmest, either, AP. (May or may not be AP, but doesn't matter; I said it before--the hydra's effectively just AP even when BRO's posting because BRO BECOMES the guy he's hydraing with.
) To translate--no, not a dummy. If you think he's a dummy, that means he's scum.
Also, Varsoon is hilariously town.
In post 819, Aegor wrote:The attitude present in his earlier posts (before he started making unfounded assertions about alignment) in particular gave me good vibes.
Helpful hint: fuck the later game; pay attention to the earlier game from me. As scum I get stronger; as town I get weaker. It's happened in literally every damn game I've been in ever.
(Even though I say otherwise, not even Anything Goes was entirely immune--I dropped mid-game to bounce back endgame.)
None of mastin's posts have been helpful in any way, nor is there any clear scumhunting intent behind them.
Then you suck at reading, since the intent's basically painted out clear as day.
That MafiaSSK has managed to lurk this much is distressing. I am awaiting a kick-ass post after the prod.
You will be disappointed, unless your idea of a kick-ass post is something that is obviously town, but only subtly so. SSK is not a high-key player of many words. Reading him requires the finer details.
(By the way, still think Aegor is town.)
In post 851, Skullduggery wrote:If I'm correctly reading some of the hints that people have dropped, it sounds like there might be at least three separate Neighborhoods in this game.
If there are three neighborhoods in this Large game, I'm suing bork for copyright infringement.
(No, but seriously. I'm treating the neighborhoods as a non-entity in this game. One neighborhood with three in it? Likely has one scum, no more nor less. Multiple neighborhoods in the same game? Are likely randomly or at least semi-randomly generated. Thus, are not alignment-indicative. Thus, we should base reads on the players not on setup spec, but on the players themselves. Which still points to Metal Sonic being scum anyway.

In post 874, Kagami wrote:My impression is that mastin is a hopeless egotist who is town.
Egotist, yes, but not hopelessly so.
(I'll read AP's Kaze case in more detail later.)
In post 890, Angry Frat BROs wrote:Town players: Brian, MacMollie, Kagami, Aegor, Venmar
Still town, just a little less so: mastin2, sangres, orcinus, Skull, ActionDan
Holy hell, your reads are nearly identical to mine. Which is either a really good sign or a really bad one.
(Good.)
But to help on the 'meh'--AP, I know SSK, and probably know him better than I know zMuf. He's town this game. Admittedly, this is something which requires familiarity with his game, but to put it simply, yes, there is a fundamental difference between his scum mindset and his town mindset that is apparent in his posting quite easily. You just need to be paying attention, and then he transforms into a player who is transparent-as-fuck.
Varsoon is probably town; this feels like a town him. Metal Sonic is probably scum, for the same reason.
(Cabd is also a 'meh' to me, so no help there, unfortunately.)
Because Aegor's posting looks town-as-hell?
Fuck that.
AP, I'm delivering an ultimatum: Scumread me, or don't scumread SSK and/or zMuff. Failure to comply will result in a scumread on you from me.
If you don't trust me to be town, that's fine. If you don't trust me on my strongest of strong townreads, that isn't.
(Also, Venmar is probably town.)
/37. I'll do the remaining pages next post, probably.
