Have u played with me before?

Macho + Doc sounds more plausible than Macho + Doc + Enabler.

I’m not interested in lynching skitter because

1. I am scum reading her less as time goes on

2. She is a player I’d rather not lynch Day 1 because if town I believe she’d be a very valuable asset

Why not Doc + Enabler?

Exilon, I straight up don’t understand your last point/question. Where are you getting that chenn scum equals skygazer town?

In response to the 2nd question, I was just being jokey/memey. There’s nothing deeper to it. Maybe the associative between me and skitter do look bad. I don’t really care, I know I’m not her partner.

Your first question just confuses me? I was catching up after being V/LA and that was a post that stood out that town pinged me. Yes I already believed his claim, but I’m going to note additional posts that town ping me to strengthen my read. I did this for a few people. I don’t understand the logic of only being able to town read people for one reason.

Now is the time to mention I dont quite have a super tr on exil?

anyone wanna share?

Exilon has a valid point in that I haven’t been pushing skitter, but I have my own reasons for that. The rest of his questions raised by my posts don’t make a ton of sense to me.

I'm nitpicking at this point.

the stronger point stands (the Skitter inconsistency) and is there and at this point in the game for me is sufficient to warrant the vote.

the rest I concede quite quickly.

Regards to that last question about Chenn, I was confused. My apologies. I corrected it a few posts later

Gotcha. I’m not really gonna defend the skitter inconsistency. I realize it’s not a great look, but I just don’t think pushing her today is going to be good and/or that productive.

I thought that Dann!town has Skitter as his blind spot but you never hinted at it being possibly the case so I'm really out of options :/
I feel it's very weird that you'd rather lynch a claimed pr than anyone else in this game, tho, and skitter was there as an option
I get "why not skitter"
And I understand your explanation on "why chenn"
but it still doesn't feel right. Like, no one else unclaimed could be a better lynch for you?

I guess it’s like, I’m at a frustration point where I keep second guessing myself. Like I really related to you “I don’t even know anymore” post earlier. And I think that’s contributing to my decision right now.

But maybe it’s just mechanically sub optimal to lynch any of the claims. Assuming they’re all town, one of them is getting NKed tonight, so the pool there will be narrowed down anyway if one of them is lying.

There’s also a small part of me that doesn’t wanna run up someone else and force yet ANOTHER claim, but maybe we’re passed the point of worrying about that.

The problem with games of this size is a almost everyone has town told at some point. I need to reread some ISO’s and see who has scum told the most, or at the very least has the most easily fakeable town tells

UNVOTE: I know we only have 24 hours but I wanna get this right

So, Pisskop enters the game with a 3-vote wagon already built on him. He enters pretty chill for that amount of pressure and I town read the tone of his entrance pretty hard.

In particular:

In post 255, pisskop wrote:I glazed over anything with more than a paragraph of text in it tho.

Scum is usually pretty averse to saying shit like this.

Menalque goes from this:

We’re lynching your slot as scum p sure

to this

In post 356, Menalque wrote:So from no-one moving off I’m gathering that this is being read as a fake claim? I’d like to know why before a hammer drops

UNVOTE:

after Pisskop's gets run up to L-1 and claims. This is consistent with Menalque's recent claim and makes sense. If Menalque is scum he has no reason to question the suspicion of the Doc claim or soft a defense of it. I've already stated this but I also believe Pisskop's claim here. As far as Menalque, this shift basically crumbed his role and Enabler doesn't seem like a fake claim scum would try to come up with that far in advance.

Menalque then goes into hard defending Pisskop. I think both these slots are town.

Chennis then comes in with this not an hour after he replaced in:

In post 597, chennisden wrote:Pisskop's claim is likely for reasons.

This is something I've brought up before as points for Chenn town and it's still relevant. He immediately softs a PR or some sort of knowledge of the setup and I don't believe he'd have any reason to do so as scum. All it does is attract attention. In particular, a macho claim (as he later clarifies) is a terrible scum fake claim, as it means he's going to be suspected later in the game if he hasn't been NKed yet. We know he's some sort of PR, scum will want to get rid of that, and Chenn mechanically can not be protected so he should logically be an open target.

The existence of two gates for the Doctor made me skeptical at first, but it's completely possible, especially as we don't know what the rest of the setup looks like. Macho ? + Doc + Enabler could all totally be valid town roles. And now that I'm thinking about it more, it makes 0 sense to lynch in any of them.

Which means I have to reevaluate in [cinnamon, exilon, luv, metta, skitter]

logically my next push should be skitter, but I've been town reading her most recent posts and I'm still somewhat averse to pushing that today

either way, that block is where I need to look in depth at next

Sorry I was just joking about how I've explained my frustrations about chenn and your post here seems to agree with that so I was pointing that out. I wasn't saying you're frustrating to play with.

I mean he basically slipped that he knew a doc was likely hundreds of pages ago, in retrospect, as i pointed out at the time

yea

there's no reason for scum to do what he's done

even if there was

he doesn't plan it that far in advance

Huh
Why have my recent posts been townie?

@exi the posts in this page from dann are townie

I dont want to lynch him today

Okay.

We lynch LUV today.

I've been overthinking, and LUV's ISO is a scum ISO. I already outlined an initial case against his early game when I entered the game myself in 205. Several others also mentioned how little he'd actually done. His questions were empty and he's not really sorting or looking to sort despite what was a stagnant game at the time.

I ask him for reads and he states a safe town read on Exilon before hedging or null reading everyone else he mentions in 206.

I've also expressed my gut dislike of his post giving intent. It's worse when you consider that he was about to hammer pisskop, but instead straight up OMGUSes Menalque in 435

In post 462, Lil Uzi Vert wrote:I mention Hitei because I and the rest of town damn sure want to hear from here before anyone’s hammered.

Statements like this combined with his 355 seem very LAMIST and unnatural. He's too self conscious. All in all, there's a lot of posts that just tonally read all wrong here. Not just in OMGUSing Menalque but in the way he responded to Menalque's case in 452 and his question to me in 438 when I had already cased LUV a few times before. The latter feels like a disingenuous attempt to sort me.

Now, I did state I thought 1333 was a good post and townie. And to be honest, it's really the only post LUV has made that town pings me. Cinnamon, Exilon, Robb!slot, and even Skitter have town pinged me more than him. And reading into it, it's not a hard post to make as scum. It's just an analysis of why he doubts the pisskop claim that I honestly disagree with in a lot of ways. It feels like LUV is stretching to find reasons to justify his doubt of the claim. He devotes so much time and energy into explaining this and yet decides to keep pushing Menalque instead for seemingly OMGUS reasons.

We all do. We desperately need a pair of fresh eyes.

More LAMIST stuff I think.

The stuff that really makes me think LUV is forcing his scum read on Pisskop is that his specific doubt of the claim continues even AFTER Chenn claims macho, and I feel town!LUV would reconsider more. It's also strange to me that LUV doesn't try casing Pisskop's play more, and instead focuses on the claim so much in his casing. 1592 is a rehash of his last wall with no reconsideration after Chenn claims macho. I feel like with the new information you have to consider the claim could be valid, but instead LUV shades Chenn's claim by taking issue with the timing of it. HINT: Town rarely claims optimally.

In post 1593, Lil Uzi Vert wrote:Now I could ignore all of the above but when you not only start but insist on pushing on me for things that are very idiotic like fluff posting and stating intent on someone you were scum reading, I struggle with letting go.

LUV also repeatedly shades and discredits scum reads on him by calling them empty or idiotic. I can understand being frustrated if you don't understand exactly why you're being pushed like Cinnamon, but there's not really an attempt to understand here, it's just misrepping the reasons for pushing him and making them out to be stupid.

I think this is scum. It was my first scum read in the game and I think I was right.

VOTE: Lil Uzi Vert

Can we CFD this? At the very least it is a better lynch than any of chenn/Menalque/pisskop

And I think it flips red
