Because what I did wasn't game-throwing. Claiming mason had a legitimate game purpose; it exposed scum in a way which couldn't be done otherwise. Becoming conftown on D1 is also not inherently a bad thing. Yes, it means that the masons die fairly early on, but that's not inherently a bad thing because I don't trust myself in the lategame anyway and the scum killing me instead of, sayyy, an investigative PR, means that said investigative PR has the time to generate useful results unimpeded. There's actual, provable, game utility in claiming mason, even on D1.

You can disagree with the theory, but from a theory standpoint, it is not unambiguously game-throwing.

Shooting conftown as town, on the other hand?

That?

That's unambiguously game-throwing.

Claiming to become conftown's not gamethrowing because there's utility in it (you're still playing to your wincon even if the decision to claim is not the MOST optimal); shooting conftown as town is gamethrowing because it is literally playing against your wincon.

Alchemist doesn't think they are and nor do I.
Here are the things mastina did this game
- get into a fight that is probably a TvT with Cheeky
- claimed mason and outed their buddy because Cheeky reasonably thought mastina could be scum for some reason
- continued to push that one read and nothing else because their ego demanded it.

I'm sorry, how is that not gamethrowing?

This is about where I'm at.
Note that I sincerely doubt that the bottom four are together as a scumteam.
The bottom six there's probably at least a viable scumteam in, but fucked if I know which combo would be the most likely. (Also in like 97.5% of my games I townread someone I shouldn't be townreading, soooooo.)

Whether or not he really townread us based on these reasoning at that moment when Maika posted, I'm doubtful
It feels like he's being lazy and only loosely following the game, but he comes up with a pretty decent reason to townread a slot mostly null, yeah i dont really know if its real.
If a post sticks out to me I can usually read the tone to it pretty well. And I usually have decent reasons for all my reads.

I wouldn't be so sure about that--I read what you were saying as basically intentional trolling; it was pretty self-evidently obvious that you weren't saying those things seriously and were saying them in jest.
I’ll genuinely believe everything I said if it’ll make people angry and realize that Cheeky should not be a wagon

For those not getting it: Panzer tried to counter my point by quoting an Alisae post...which Alisae emself SAID was intentionally manipulative. Alisae's post was pretty much trolling/satirical/parody/sarcastic/snarking/whatevertermyou'dliketousefornotbeingserious. It was, self-evidently, a joke.

Panzer is portraying it not only as if it was serious, but as if it were a legitimate, genuine argument to be made that had any merit to it whatsoever. (It didn't. It's so painfully without merit that it's not even worth arguing against because the points are just so blatantly false.)

Because town players feel like trolling. (The mason claim troll could come from scum, sure, yeah, I just don't think it did; both Flavor Leaf and Chaos Wind are townreads.)
Xtoxm’s never struck me as the trolly type though. Idk why he goes along with it unless he’s closer to Flavor Leaf than I realized.

You chose to answer the weakest point in my argument and strawman. Dude just scumhunt instead of being scummy. Any reads would help.
Titus, fl, tttt all slots I've pinged out as scum. Doesn't really matter for the first two. TTTT is possible but not a strong read of mine.

I've said all this though. And defended you, but I digress.

looks like scum fencesitting. That post and look like he’s afraid to stick his neck out and is more concerned with making a vote that will look good to everyone.
ummm

alchemist is probably scum for this one

p.edit idk which one of them is chemist and which one is eragon, i'm not used to either of them shitposting this hard.

Because I think 1135 is a good townie post with a new angle to look at the wagons with "Mastina claiming is like a perfect catalyst for scum to push a cheeky mislynch." and he's clearly analyzing who is more likely scum based on such angle
whats the scum fencesitting about it

1186 saying "I already want to vote TTTT" isn't something to be said to not offend people

I only really disagree on Cheeky as scum and think Cafe should be higher. Dunno about jjh I've not paid him much attention. Again I really like this readslist but I hate the AtE, which is probably a playstyle thing.

Oh and I kind of like Titus now. If Alch flips red I'd probably clear Titus as town.

Twisted facts? The questions he was asking looked like he was looking for a safe place to vote. He’s been non-committal and I think he cares more about blending in that pushing scumreads. Now explain what part of that is based on twisted facts.

???????????????????
its day 1?????????????
First you could be wrong
Second, you can wait for a night action that could help understand Cheeky's alignment
Third, you could have waited to build a stronger case or to be more sure of the read
I'm just saying, there were many ways it could have been done "otherwise"
And even then, its day 1. And It didn't expose scum.
Exposing scum would be if scum claimed mason and you cc'd them.

If the setup was Friends and Enemies (I think thats the one) you would not be saying this. You claiming mason doesn't make the game any easier to solve when you were already super obvtown. Also your partner was not okay with it. You decided to not take his feelings into consideration and go with the play anyway because you were selfish about a read that is probably wrong.
If scum killed you, a night passed where instead of geting a kill thats actually useful information wise, the masons who claimed because they "thought" they caught scum
OR they could just not shoot you and you narrowed the pool for them to look for any investigatives or whatever they think is more important.
