I don't have a read on toog atm. I was thinking they could be scum because it feels like scum are in the inactives/blending in this game, but their posts are null for me. They also pointed out that they thought the mason claim was a joke.

There have been so many examples of town wagons getting resistance because scum aren't interested in pushing the elim yet or some other reason, and then scum use that as an excuse to jump on or "compromise" there at deadline. The "resistance" tell is super overused imo.In post 1318, MathBlade wrote:Because Horsewoman is doing the same and has more votes.
If Toog gets that high I am not entirely opposed just right now the fact Horse hasn’t been hammered means she’s scum. D1 elims are not usually this hard on town. They just aren’t.
I see what you're saying, but there's only certain players who could get away with it. If I lolhammered mara, people would be super suspicious since I don't do early hammers. Some players (not_mafia, dunn) do it as town sometimes so they can get away with it but most don't do it as town and don't risk doing it as scum as a result. That's why I think there was no real risk of a hammer.In post 1336, JacksonVirgo wrote:I mean not really this was an exaggeration but it's not as much of a scum-claim than it is just anti-town and scummy.In post 1335, JacksonVirgo wrote:Nobody actually ever follows up with these types of reads.
The logic of "you were trying to lim the mason claim" when I thought it was a joke is really shallow and I think noraa can have a lot more depth as town. Then I remembered haunted village where I feel like she didn't really get a good footing in the game and all her SRs were people that were pushing her. I thought she was scum there and she was town. The way she's played so far doesn't feel like she's trying to get townread, and when she says stuff like "idgaf you're still scum" it feels towny to me.

I don't agree, I think the vig should shoot scummy players so it saves town an elim.

Vigilante's shooting within scummy players effectively wastes town utility considering they're essentially a secondary elimination.

It’s not a tell. It’s only an indicator as I explained earlier.In post 1409, Infinity 324 wrote:I don't have a read on toog atm.

Worries me somewhat, because it feels like it could be scum setting up for chained miselimsIn post 1373, MathBlade wrote:I really think horse is scum and if she isn’t then we can look at who moved off of her and what wagons and look at JV or Nora.
A tell, an indicator, same thing to me. Something you use to try to figure out someone's alignment.In post 1411, MathBlade wrote:It’s not a tell. It’s only an indicator as I explained earlier.
It’s not 100%. The fact you called it a tell I think is illuminating.
In post 1415, Marky Mark wrote:@Guillo - why HW over toog? I thought we both had a similar thought process there in terms of the fact that both look sus from their wagon position on the Momrangel wagon but HW has (at times) at least actively been trying to solve
Because she didn't town up even when I gave her the chance to do so. Because after I stopped pushing her she felt comfortable with the metaphorical medal I gave her and didn't contribute to game solving, because Toogeloo or Noraa do not look like a viable option today, and because Horsewoman's flip would give us plenty of information to move forward.In post 1406, Guillotina wrote:Ok, so what I gather from @Horsewoman is that she only towns up when she is getting actively attacked or she is on the verge of getting eliminated, notice that once i unvoted her she stopped posting. She is not making efforts to solve the game whatsoever when she is out of pressure.

-- pedit: @Guillo, ok that largely makes sense. I think you are probably overstating the impact of you personally pushing her affecting her approach to the game, esp given how many others were pushing her too.In post 1328, Horsewoman wrote:Basically I said momrangal/DGB/Mathblade had all displayed that mindset, but momrangal is semi-confirmed town and MathBlade had other indications of scumhunting so I was really suspicious of DGB
I'll worry about that later.In post 1412, Marky Mark wrote:@Toog - as I have asked before, what reads do you have on the playerlist other than HW?
Why are you writing 90% of this post with horse as town?In post 1412, Marky Mark wrote:Thanks for the explanation Math.
I think I understand the broad strokes of your argument, although some of the finer detail around the initial wagon forming on horse confused me.
I find it hard to see a world where horse is town and math is scum because I just feel like it would look too sus for him after he has driven the push on her so hard. That being said:Worries me somewhat, because it feels like it could be scum setting up for chained miselimsIn post 1373, MathBlade wrote:I really think horse is scum and if she isn’t then we can look at who moved off of her and what wagons and look at JV or Nora.
I still think toog is flying under the radar here and I would really like to see more pressure applied there.
@Toog - as I have asked before, what reads do you have on the playerlist other than HW? If HW is scum, as you clearly think she is by your vote then who do you see as potential buddies?
That being said, if there is no increase in interest of eliming toog in the next couple of hours or so then I will consolidate onto HW.
Honestly, IMO probably the most AI thing that has happened today was the wagon on a claimed mason. Infin/Horse/Toog being 3/4/5 on that wagon probably has 1+ scum there, and horse and/or toog would be my most likely bets.
I actually really like your response to my thought processes. I do find it interesting you're using my thought wall as a case though.In post 1276, Guillotina wrote:I don't know what to say about Flea, they could just be too scummy to be scum, or they just are.

I would like to know now actually, so that we can see your current view of the gamestate for transparency ahead of flips/NKs. I don't think it is unreasonable to ask for your position on more than 1 player.In post 1419, Toogeloo wrote:I'll worry about that later.In post 1412, Marky Mark wrote:@Toog - as I have asked before, what reads do you have on the playerlist other than HW?
