or like, you're scum who's going all out on imitating some kind of smooth-but-not-real-super-towny version of what people might expect your towngame to be on day one of a 13p game. which is like, fine it can be done but it doesn't feel like there's much point to it. like if you are scum you're putting a bunch of effort into just.. vibing. i don't really think that's something i associate with your scumgame all that much.
Appreciate the thoroughness but the only interjection I have is

You voted Pooky or at least hinted towards it once. Pooky is one of my main aggregators here. I don't really treat myself as an elimination option because I typically have good D1s as both alignments. Do you think Pooky is just falsifying his stance on me to seem townier? I think he's capable of working that angle, but like. If I am in your position and I had deep devoted thoughts towards someone who I'm pretty sure is town, I'd either be held aghast by people not seeing what I do or suspect opportunistic scum. I don't feel your criticisms of pooky align with either.

Pedit - Gamma that's not even remotely true. I'm a sweaty slimy scumlord.
i'm not really scumreading pooky atp but i can try and channel my earlier vibe if you'd like? i just felt like his push on me was kinda slimy. i didn't really read his push on you much because i didn't get where he was coming from and like ... kinda didn't care all that much ... he has so many posts and a bunch of them are just shitposting so i glazed over lol

sorry, more importantly. what do you want from me here?

i literally don't understand those reads (i think they're our most polarised reads except for dwlee*), hence asking questions about them. :(

* i kind of get why you can be not townreading dwlee as town so i don't really think it's useful fighting over it i just disagree

@Worst

Nothing. I just wanted to see if you operate the same way I do. If someone in this game went after Gork I'd probably suspect them or think they're delusional.

Nobody suspects Gork. Probably just a townie who scum don't know what to do with. I think what's funny is that Gork isn't really talked about either and that isn't to imply his content is worthwhile. His position was earned just by thread events and it became consensus. I sometimes feel like when I'm town consensus reaches me and then I'm stuck in this state where Gork is. Nobody is checking Gork's content or the validity of it because he's probably town. Yet he's also not leading so they're getting buried regardless.

I don't want the same to happen to me. That makes the game less interesting and while I think Pooks is delusional in his own read of me, at least I have something to fight against. I think most townies wanna prove they're town in some way and with you pretty much in the spotlight I'm just engaging you to see what comes of it.

sorry this is probably a kind of wild divergence from my last tier list but {pooky, kazyan, dwlee, unwnd} is probably 3-4 town. i might be wrong on openwolf memeing pooky if i'm really really off-point this game but i'm kinda losing any interest in murdering him. otherwise maybe dwlee or kazyan are finessing me but i don't really feel like it as much. unwnd feels like the most unlikely read here but also just. doesn't feel like someone i'm being finessed by.

i really want to put gork in that category and he has like, main character of mini 2241 energy, but u kno

there's this other tier which is probably like {gamma, house, dann} which has one scum in it
and it's gamma
and i don't kno who it is. i think gamma just dropped down my readlist because his reads on house & lld are just so epically hard to relate to. sorry gamma, pretty keen to see you come back with more tomorrow when you have time.

murdercat & navi are fuckin wildcards as explained several times. still think mcat is a splendid yeet, navi is fine but i have a higher level of interest in letting her live.

0-1 scum in {lld, megazu} and i kind of weakly lean towards megazu being town. i just kind of ~got~ megazu's reaction to LLD's replace in.

{pooky, kazy, dwlee, unwnd}
{gork}
{} entire bracket of weak townreads which i just don't have
{house, dann}
{megazu} (flips down if LLD is green)
{mcat, navi} ????
{gamma}
{LLD}

i don't really remember where my vote is
VOTE: LLD

ditto, been a weird week for the whole world i think. i don't like.. actively think you're scum, i just don't get how people are hard townreading you.

i don't really intend to let you slip by unwnd, and i appreciate that you're capable of presence and making sound logical dayplay decisions when playing scum. you can also pull together quite a lot of energy. but i don't think i've seen scum!unwnd as smooth as you are in this game. sorry if that's an insult, i kinda get annoyed when people underestimate my scumrange, but i just think you're just in the town side of that bizarre part of my brain which tries to abstractly read players who are smarter than me

I think if you flip red you're giving a stink eye to Gamma as a partner or if you're town Gamma looks terrible on your wagon.

Right now I'm starting to think you're not scum, just because I think the things you're saying make sense. If this is your own scumplay diverting me then we can end up 50/50. Why do you get into a shitpit with LLD who is able to amass a large crowd and very often get what she wants. You're brave but not stupid.

How hot and bothered do you get as scum? How personal is this affront I mentioned?

it's a curse ;(

I have quite a lot of pride, and I really enjoy making dayplay decisions which are seemingly outlandish if it means that I'm less likely to be suspected. ask pooky for the parable of Micro 960 (preferably skipping over the toxic bits).

Spoiler: biased recount
i was scum & got into a huge 1v1 with town! skitter (the player who i respect the most, no hesitation) on day one. she claimed confirmable town role, and i doubled down on the read that she was scum stalling for one more day.

she became confirmed via datisi (also a town powerhouse!), and then we swung another miselim on day two and on night three used a delay kill on skitter which publicly confirmed her as town at the start of day 3, to die at the end of day 3.


i adore challenging myself as scum, i adore the stress of mafia, but no. i have limited interest in making pushes which i don't think i have any recourse for which aren't going to go my way. pocketing dwlee isn't valuable enough to go at LLD as soon as she replaces into a game. defending scum partner Dwlee isn't valuable enough to go at LLD as soon as she enters a game (especially given her push against them wasn't very convincing anyway). i get as sweaty as i
need
to as scum, and if i see a hardmode route which i think is objectively likely to improve my position in the daygame, i'll take it. sometimes i make sub-optimal decisions as scum because i damn well feel like it.

so like, as i type this out i'm kind of forced to concede i'm a prideful bastard and me going toe-to-toe with LLD is absolutely consistent with my scumgame. i also benefit from the knowledge that it's not something i would really WANT to do as scum here. so i'm not really going to be able to set your mind, i'm sorry.
