I'm demonstrating my points. Most of these posts have been towards something smart. However I do not like my arguments boiled down to "conspiracy theories" when that is the entire point of this game. Find the conspiracy. Eliminate them.

V/LA during weekday daytimes for an indeterminate timeframe. I have real life mafia aka jury duty. Will be a while for V/LAs if picked and nothing more than Thursday/Friday if not. If it becomes hugely impacting I can look for a replacement.

Read JarJar's ISO. In particular, look at the reasons he gives for his reads.
He is obviously not trying to get into people's heads and figure out what they might be thinking. He throws out reasons such as:
In post 257, JarJarDrinks wrote:4 pages in and townreading Dunn. I like his reads and he's like the only person trying to move the game past RVS.
Transcend looks bad. I get the impression he's trying his hardest to appear to not be invested in the game.
Creature looks even worse for townreading trans. dafaq can he possibly have been townreading @ that point?
In post 274, JarJarDrinks wrote:OK I like this post cause it was pretty much my exact thought.
If Xnad is trying to fake noob-town, he's convincing me.
I feel like he's trying to inception the idea into Dunn that since math is wrong about him, he's wrong about Zach too.

In post 1012, Something_Smart wrote:When I posted 1001 I was not really against the Creature wagon; I trust that other people can read him better than I can, and his flip would definitely give a lot of info either way.
After those last three posts by Creature I'm even less against it than I was.
- Scum. Man for the quantity of posts in his iso, gamma doesn't say anything. Seriously, do a quick skim and look @ how much fluff is there. It's just nonsense w/ an occasional sheep vote w/o any reasoning. I dont really understand the progression of the creature read going from lynchbait to scum. Also I mentioned how I didn't like the misrep of zach which he wrote off as "I was totally misrepping on purpose".
Dongempire
- Scum. pointed out earlier how he said my reads weren't good. Then he asked me for a reads list after I wanted him to point out the reads he didn't like. He STILL has yet to answer what reads of my he thinks were bad. His entire ISO is pretty content-less. All of his reads are just so empty.
Something_Smart
- Scum. Has barely posted ANY scumreads this game except for the ones @ the start of the game that he immediately said weren't real reads. Like so many of his comments are just pointing stuff out and then not commiting to an actual position. And his most recent opportunistic vote on creature just came out of nowhere.
I don't really know how to explain it but it's more than just "vibes" or "gut". It's "lack of anything real". I know what it's like to fake reads as scum; usually you can just say stuff that looks good and looks like something that you might conceivably use to read someone but upon further inspection it just falls apart.
There are also important things that you're ignoring in your argument that JarJar as scum wouldn't be playing and voting the way he is. Scum's goal is to gain mislynches. How they gain them, it doesn't matter-- it's not like they HAVE to push mislynches for them to happen. In fact, for precisely the reason you are describing, scum would often prefer to be off a wagon, unless they're needed for it to go through. Clearly JarJar wasn't needed for either the Creature lynch or the Transcend lynch; so why would he have to be on it if he were scum?
(Also, he himself invalidated this argument in 1648. After he tried to claim towncred for it and was rebuked.)
And by the way, you said that if he were scum he'd have to start pushing mislynches eventually. Well guess who he's pushing today?
If you want to have a discussion with me (though from your V/LA it seems you might not be able to; when you get a chance I guess) about JarJar's play, rather than the fact that the other players decided to lynch town without his help being needed, I'll be happy to have it with you. But the fact is that you can't consistently form good reads based solely or even primarily on votes; that's been tried time and time again and burned time and time again.

Lots of words just got home after getting everything for jury duty. Will analyze it tomorrow after jury duty.

Exactly...
Mouthblade didn't even give reasons for nadr other than sheeping Gamma Emerald and VCA made up on the spot.
- scumlean. Like I said earlier, his posts occasionally come off as faking noobness. I feel like his town read of me came out of nowhere. He could be trying to just lurk his way through the game
Exactly what i thought when i checked Jordans Iso i dont think scum!JarJar would point out something like that.
Since day 3 started he has a hard townread on JarJar without trying to convince anyone to not lynch him. Thats something i see scum do to look townie in case JarJar gets lynched.
Him reading both JarJar and you (S_S) town without explaining why is actually one of the reasons why i think this is a TvT you two are stuck in.
The interaction between Dong and Jordan on the other hand looks like the exact opposit.

For now I'll put my VOTE: Dongempire

Voting Dong without a reason or any pressure on him when Creature was at L-2.
In post 1789, Donempire wrote:Jar
Manuel
Jordan
Two of these 3 people are scum.
Jar's play has been unhelpful, hindering and obnoxious this whole game. Manuel's bp claim aside his most recent inputs have been unnotable at best.
Jordans just shitposting.
The reason he gives for scumreading Jordan is more an excuse to not vote him.

Prod dodge. Not enough time to go through jarJar's ISO while on lunch break.

Poppycock! That's some good scumhunting there bro.
In post 370, Infinity 324 wrote:You're implying here that scum would be careless enough to directly contradict themselves and town wouldn't, first of all, which doesn't seem true to me.
Whether or not it seems true to you has no bearing on whether or not it is true.
Again, this is behavior that will come from scum or bad-town. If you just write everything off as "well town can act scummy" (and YES contradictions ARE scummy) then you're not gonna be hanging much scum.
In post 370, Infinity 324 wrote:I'll let smart explain his side of it, but I don't think it's a contradiction at all tbh.
So basically you're saying that it isn't a contradiction but even it was, it wouldn't be scummy?
Looking through JarJar's ISO not really seeing why the JarJar/Infinity fight happens D1
Results don't lie. I've been pretty damn successful in my mafia'ng.
Rinse wash repeat. Lots of arrogance here but it feels wrong. I keep getting my damn vibes even though logically JarJar should be town because of the infinity fight and not being on mislynches.
And I know you and he said he shouldn't get town cred for that but quite frankly in terms of post content it looks townie but I can't shake the cobwebs.

Just got done reading JarJar's ISO and I just don't buy JarJar being scum with infinity. They have a consistent record of pushing each other and when infinity was being pressured he tried to barter for JarJar and Nadr's deaths but mainly that he'd shoot Jordan.
Since infinity was scum this most likely means he wanted us to lynch JarJar for some reason and then he would have shot someone else and he would have been outed as obv scum.
That claim had to be a delay tactic and to lure out PR claims it was just terribad. So in short I feel the feels but "feels" isn't enough to override someone who tried to give infinity that extra day namely in (Manuel, Jordan, Dunn)
There has got to be scum that tried to keep Infinity alive and that is what I want to find.

Huh? What does there being no kill have anything to do with my alignment? Are you just talking about stuff randomly?
Very suspicious.

Who is it then? All you did is defend the ones who are most scum-aligned using words...
