PEdit - Malcolm, you're allowed to reverse your town read on me (I am voting you after all!). You didn't answer me when I asked why you were so sure I was town and that post looks like the start of you reversing the read.
So you don’t try to read into scum’s interactions with other players at all?
Seems like a dipshit philosophy.

Would "Klick the honorable" make sense with your theory?

I don't know.

I'm not clued up on site rules and how IRL stuff may effect in game stuff.

Plus the theory feels really silly but could easily be true at the same time.

Yeah I'm hesitant to openly discuss because it's probably just against the rules, and even if it's not against the rules, it's just speculation that could be absolutely wrong and NAI. But it's funny both me and BBT had the same theory so we can laugh about it post game. I do feel it affects my read on mislim a bit but I can't help that, and also I think mislim's totally townie regardless.

No matter how high the stakes, sooner or later you're just gonna have to go with your gut.
And maybe, just maybe, that'll take you right where you were supposed to be.

Mala, what do you make of OtH having pretty much the exact same role as you but it being X-shot?

What changed your read on me since here, Rad?

What are you even doing here? Meta is trash, especially when it is used in place of progression.

In post 11536, Rad wrote:I gotta go to sleep now so I'll end tonight with this.

Town, hello. Why does scum!Rad kill Bell and Luke who are reading him as scum? It's ridiculous and obvious. scum!Rad's plan there is to do that so I can, right now, claim that it's ridiculous and obvious. This is the move that scum!Rad has been planning since the Bell flip, in a large game with 4 other scum partners, after 2 newbies where I 1. as town push dead town players' reads to win the game and 2. as scum focus heavily on the 1 player that I thought I could pocket into a win.

If this is scum!Rad following what's proven to work I've chosen Nancy as that 1 player. Is pocketing Nancy here the winning move for scum!Rad? Point to someone else scum!Rad has pocketed here. Johnny maybe? Lol. And scum!Rad pockets Nancy via pushing Nancy and then crossing his fingers that Nancy backs off and we can be pocket friends.

If this is town!Rad I'm just openly chasing ideas left and right with no focus because I do not understand how to focus yet. I go out of my way to read other games with players who are in this one. That includes a bunch of Nancy games and some newbie games focusing on Luke and Roden/Mala/BBT.

I'm today's mislim. I get it if I have to be flipped to prove it but me being the mislim is just the fact. I don't think it would even be super obvious who is scum on my mislim. Scum could wait until town started the mislim to jump on. Scum could just do it because it's super justifiable.

I think we got basically 1 good read out of this so far and that's BBT. NO reason to get off my wagon here as scum.

There's probably some town defending me too and I'll try to figure that out tomorrow.

For now I wanted to leave this in case spicy shit happens over night while I'm asleep.
Can one post tank a town read? Yes...yes it can. I'm struggling here how you went from your play the first 4 days to just dropping all pretenses. Is it because you are bad under pressure or what? This post is bad on levels beyond levels.

Not gonna lie, when I saw there were like 25 unread pages I almost just naked voted Mislim Bait. I might still do that, just not as naked.

You shouldn't trust other people's reads either; especially when they're scum ;)

Remember, they had Math at '80% town' and 'hard TR' Bella, too.
This post in particular reads really scummy to me.
VOTE: BBT
This post is scum indicative because you’re already trying to set up my miselim in advance. If you were town here, you be wanting to re-evaluate after those other flips and say something like that but no, you’re already locked on me as scum before you even see those flips. I don’t see how town ever thinks like this.
What are you even doing? You're not cleared as town, it's okay for people to think your slot is scum.

I'm also going to disagree - its the most fun alignment.

Nah, I genuinely redefined the mean of the chaotic alignment my turning it from its intended meaning of ew law and turned it to I do what I want, when I want, and the laws are both with me and against me.

Never did anything that would have me arrested or in trouble... except some creative use of a Fighter, a Bandit and levitate

Also lets face it the 3x3 grid cannot hold the entirity of a character. My most recent, Copper the Copper Dragonborn Druid is Lawful Neutral.

You meet him and you'd swear they're chaotic as all hell. They're a giant puppy with ADHD who can turn into a bigger puppy or stars

Let's be real, Rad is under pressure and flailing. I just haven't decided what that says about his alignment yet. It does strike me as completely different from how he has played the game up to this point.
