My head is full of television static right now.

Invest is short for investigation role like tracker,watcher it’s a category not a specific role.

That makes you dangerous as scum. And no, we don't know each other, this is just a judgment call based on what I see of your play here. I don't use meta for players I haven't played with, and I don't even like using it then. It's a crutch where my normal ability to play fails, not a primary tool.In post 1118, Critter wrote:I actually haven’t yet.

Also, I'm glad my worse-than-usual memory kept my vote on you if you didn't get the promised effect from ssbm, since I distrust you even more now. (Also I don't know what the hell an invest is and MS wiki isn't helpful with it.)
Very rarely. If you're town, don't do it.In post 1051, Critter wrote:Sometimes town is deliberately scummy.

Bear in mind that Critter was explicitly presenting it as a gut reaction, and most people's guts are utter garbage. In your position I would not be fazed by that, except maybe to be annoyed at Critter if he acts on an unsubstantiated gut read.In post 1093, ssbm_Kyouko wrote:This is me getting frustrated that I'm being scumread for discussing mountain dew in a mountain dew themed game.
That seems like it's got way too many variables involved to be at all reliable.In post 1100, Gamma Emerald wrote:Effort compared to towngames feels very muted

And plenty of people flail as both alignments. I don't see why "frustration at being attacked for bullshit reasons" is an emotion reserved for scum.
Yep.In post 1138, Wisdom wrote:lol best you can do is have me as top scumread because you dont understand my reads?
They do bring up a fair point that people do flail as either alignment though, and definitely has happened in the past. This really doesn't help when it just doesn't feel like you answered the actual question and instead went for the scum associative.In post 1139, Wisdom wrote:Yep keep defending your buddy im sure that will go well for youIn post 1132, Something_Smart wrote:Transparently false, some people don't flail as scum at all.In post 1110, Wisdom wrote:every scum flails when they feel they are attacked for the wrong reasons

okayIn post 1143, Something_Smart wrote:Of course not, but it seems like Wisdom is acknowledging that with "the best I can do".
that is in his scum meta, but he's also just easier to read with some flips imo, so I agree he's "never lim d1" materialIn post 1146, Something_Smart wrote:I would like someone familiar with Wisdom scum meta to weigh in on if he openly antagonizes and hard pushes multiple townies as part of his strategy. If ssbm is scum then I'm sure he would be secure in pushing me, any scum can pull off hard bus -> hard push a townie who was defending them. But I'm not sure if he would want to sacrifice enough towncred to push two townies simultaneously/back-to-back (if he does push me tomorrow if ssbm is town, that is).
When I was scum with him, he did push pretty confidently, though he was mostly bussing. But he also didn't play very much and got executed D1.
