Zero percent chance Nero takes this tack as scum imo.

Wait, actually nvm. SB pushed at him first. Never mind. Scum love to omgus that so back to just probably town.

Don't think so

Can't see scum!me pulling a gambit day 1 of a large theme. Too much risk.

For your hydra, 699 is the townier moment, tho there may be more in the more recent posting (too tired to sift through and judge more accurately).

The more scum moment is the lack of radiating town along with maybe who you're pressuring/defending/not pressuring/not defending. (Which, again, I need to look at in more detail, because I feel like I am on the right track to a solve, that I have honed in on the right area, it just needs to be refined and perfected, and you're one of the players that needs to be analyzed to see if you fit as more likely town or scum in a five-man scumteam unit.)

Also, don't get scared by how quickly the wagon is growing. Scum are gonna want the sweet sweet buscred for this.

This is very reasonable.

Ah, right, this would be another of the more townie posts.
Regardless of Gamma's alignment, actually (Gamma flipping town doesn't make the post look less town to me, but--see rest of sentence), and probably something that indicates not-SvS with Gamma.

BH - The constant flippancy between the heads screams of an attempt to keep people from getting a coherent read, which is itself a read.
Superbowl - Oh gosh, where to start. The constant proclamations that they're town (no really, trust them on this). Town never have to say that they're town. It's implied in what they say and how they say it. A complete lack of any transparency about their thought process. The only thing remotely towny about them is their insistence on gutreads, but given that that's about all they've done, that's deserving of a policy elim just the same. (note that my desire to remove them is not policy. It is genuine scumread. I'm saying the only thing town-like of them deserves a policy)

This does make me feel better about DiamondSentinel, tho.

So like.

Locktown, locktown-candidates, strong-town, tentative-town, dead-null, final two scum candidates, scumread, strong scumreads.

*Notably, neither of these two on their own would be pinging me and in a void I'd think both to be town, but given the interactions I remember with them and those around/below them in the readslist, with who they are pressuring/defending/not pressuring/not defending, to my memory that makes them scum candidates because it feels like possible-scumbuddy stuff.

Also if SB was town he should have been more like me an alarmed @ the speed of the Gamma wagon. He's pooh poohing my getting off Gamma b/c he wants to speed things up and go to night phase.

I know I’m late but how does (superbowl, plus, gamma, Taylor) sound as a starting point

I'm pretty sure superbowl is town here--I disagree with a lot of superbowl's reads and takes, but I genuinely just ~feel~ like they come from town.

Now, for the other three there--definitely got my backing there as I am seeing similar and looking in the same place.
(So basically, if you subbed superbowl out and placed Bell in, you'd be pretty much almost exactly where I am at.)

More votes on Mastina for the crime of probably strategically voting rather than responding dynamically to play.

Then again title etc.

(For the record, this is more of the :townvibes: I was wanting to see, so, yes, I am indeed feeling much better about Ban Hydras right now--probably need to move them up into 'town' from their position in 'tentative town'. Not to the 'strong town' category, but I think they deserve at least more than a 'tentative'.)

Where green = locktown, blue = strong town, cyan = town, white = tentative town, gray = dead null, yellow = possible scum, orange = scum, red = strong scum.

Take a guess as to which wagon I think is on scum and driven by town, and which wagon I think is on town and driven by scum.

I should probably clarify.

I came into this game like a shithead but have since played nothing like that but no budge means that mastina’s read itself is artificial.

Opportunistic wagon hop on a likely town + disclaimer = scumtell. Discuss

I have an alternative take.
You're dead on the money on the opportunistic hop-on with the disclaimer being a scum indicator.

My thought is that it is an awkward attempt at forcing a bus on a scumbuddy tho.

I prefer a power puff elim over battle mage elim. I actually want a hydra elim today though.

(This does add fuel to my fire in thinking that Plus-Gamma-Bell-Norwegian-MorningMage has a reasonably high chance of containing at least 3, probably at least four, scum. Maybe not all five are scum, heck maybe two are town, but I do think that those five names contain a minimum of 3 scum, probably more, right now.)

Never mind.

Oh they do, and since I kinda feel like uniting my townbloc and getting to the honing in/refining process by using them as sounding boards, I do need to give that more in-depth thorough readslist. Not today (I'm actually borderline-delirious right now, I dunno why but I feel lightheaded, kinda dizzy, in spite of being well-hydrated and well-rested and having stayed on top of taking vitamins and not being stomach-churningly hungry, so I'm not up to it in the moment), but I feel like I'm ~in the zone~, and just need some help from the towncore to perfect it.

The game feels close to locked, I just need to push it over the edge and will give the extended extensive version of the readslist when I am physically able to do so. (Hopefully, tomorrow, with luck at least.)

I seem to recall you and Flavor Leaf/Boonskiies/thisdudehasliterallydozensofaltschooseanameofhisofyourpreference have rather extensive history together and know each other extremely well--so yes, you absolutely should. April Ludgate is a public alt of Flavor Leaf/Boonskiies.

Can we maybe slow down on the gamma votes before the day ends prematurely

Why? Besides there being less information to work with if wrong?
