I bet I could get drunk if I took a shot every time they've used that acronym. And yes, I caught up on what I missed from the thread opening until now but I need to do some ISO work and that's not happening tonight. That'll be a tomorrow thing hopefully. Tuesday is out of the question for me as its the Florida Primary.

(ノ^ヮ^)ノ*:・゚✧ Easy game, people~
~Natdiafrom a place of genuine belief that they were trying not to lower their corruption levels. It's a town thought process that goes "maybe they are scum who want corruption". Joey_ honestly does not leave much of an impression on me. Even going through his ISO, I'm not struck by whatever you see asjuicy~. I don't think your early read on him is unreasonable as he definitely hasn't done anything towny but mostly his posts are just "meh".(⌯͒ᵕɪᵕ⌯͒)zzZ My post was never intended as a comprehensive solve, just a list of "here are some people whose posts have bothered me". Indeed, if I tried to fit together a comprehensive picture them townreading you would make you less likely to be partners. Your posts had mostly been jokey and fillery and I didn't care for that.In post 199, NorwegianboyEE wrote:@Catboi
You expressed disliking of Dumb & Dumber giving me townpings. Then you put both me and him as scum. Does that mean you considered us to have partner equity? Because that seems like a very surface level read. Can you explain your scumread on me further in case i misunderstood you here?
Lest we forget Joey's reads, that may or may not have gotten him killed early...In post 243, Joey_ wrote:In somewhat order
NEEwas obvious town pre page 5 and has been absurdly screaming town for the last 2 pages straight, every single post
CatboiISO and overall content sucked ass until he started posting for real. I had a mirror read with them and their reactions to my post was excellent. He also towntold in a recent post by showing a very strong t pov (irrc; anyways I remember how I felt when I read his post)
Charmanderis also pretty blatant and open town, there’s isn’t an ounce of malice in his posts and there’s no way someone first game in 5 years could fool me with a tone this good as mefia (inb4)
Something smartalso towntold very early in the game, including his reaction when he started posting after the dumb/joey convo. I am just a bit more paranoid here because the towntells were more “Classic” and tone is not as good asNEE/Catboi/Charmander.
Radicalis also probably town for Occam razor and his reaction to his crumb being outed
NMDOccam says town, tone says town. Lack of content, good vote on red

Everyone else: I don't know
I think if you look at Porkens's reaction to those 2 votes though, it speaks to some difference, though? In 253 he simply attacks RR while questioning DD, speaks to a difference in mentality - he's distancing from rat while genuinely trying to appeal to dumb and dumber. He did shade them somewhat later in his ISO, but the game he was playing might've been to just defend his teammates at every step.In post 2010, BananaCucho wrote:Anyone wanna wear a tin foil hat with me?

I didn't have any thought about scum wanting corruption but thought it was a legit process from him. It was a bad read (I've had a lot of those lately). It was also a age 9 read.BananaCucho wrote: *tin foil hatting intensifies*
Catboi, I dunno how I missed this before. But again, it comes off as TMI in relation to the whole Porkens/Radical Rat thing. I had like 0 thoughts about scum wanting more corruption
Show of hands - before Bell's flip, who here thought scum might want corruption? It could just be with the way my role works I just didn't think of that angle
Redtea seems really obsessed with the idea on day 1 that evils want to get corruption for some reason. If they are Cleric I guess this could make sense? Though my initial thought process if I get that role card is "oh hey I'm a gimped doctor". Though maybe they justIn post 348, redtea wrote:I have to wall!

More seriously:
Joey'svery recent hardass posts #340 and #343 have me reading him as town. That and the fact that after people pointed out he wasn't posting well, he really stepped up his game and has been going strong. The fact he both changed and kept it up is very town to me. I feel like maf are more prone to having a surge of posts before falling back again, or will pick a fight to have something easy to respond to without really hunting. This might be a big reason others are tr'ing him now, and I agree.
AlsoI maf-leanNorwegianand possiblybanana(I have a couple things to go back to) and I don't thinkNorwegianwould implicate two scum partners in #264 in his town reads so. Any ill-feelings I had towardsJoeybefore don't really have room here.
Not to mention the likelihood of grouping together any three players and havingoneof them flip maf. So take this as me teasing the idea ofNorwe/banana, though either/or is more realistic.
Oh, and I just remembered I have a WILD idea. I know how this sounds. Trust me, I know, I knew immediately how it would sound. But what ifbananacuchoneeds corruption for, not voting,but for wincon/to unlock a special ability.Because he can't vote, then he must gain corruption a different way, as we know. So, should we be more wary of a possible corruption-giver giving corruption (town or maf role)?
No, because it wouldn't really be a big deal given what the mod's said.Butmaybe something will be different Day 2 and we should look out for it.
Oh hey Catboi.

The interesting thing about Jackel's early train that I noticed on re-read is that there was some talk about her possibly freezing, since it's been a while since her last game. Something else that crossed my mind is maybe her heart wasn't really in it given the team composition? Prism was replaced a few days into the game by Porkens, and Radical Rat was replaced not too far into the game as well. If your scum team isn't talking to you/not around/getting replaced, and you're an early train... yeah the motivation may just not have been there to give the effort this game precisely due to thatIn post 2017, catboi wrote:jackel is simultaneously someone I dread will flip town yet absolutely do not want in a lylo gamestate. They do seem to question joey about voting porkens in 683, give an "i agree but i'll vote elsewhere", refers to porkens as a "mega compromise" in 1107, and that's about it for their read there. Her second post was 153 which was kind of a weird comment on radical rat, basically nothing on bell.
bell and porkens ere also really light on mentions of jackel although that might just be an inactivity thing. porkens repeatedly referred to jackel as "flipbait" but I don't think it's past him to shield a partner that way and hope people out-wifom themselves as thinking it as whiteknighting.

Another thing to take into account is this thing Joey said about the train on Jackel. The composition of Norwee/Catboi/DD/psuedo-banana seemed almost "too good to be true". It was against this towncore that Porkens pretty much lashed out repeatedly as they were boxed into the POE - constantly scumreading Norwee/Catboi/DD. We know of us 4, unless there is a hidden additional scum then at the very least 3 of us are town. Joey may have been onto it early - the game probably solved early with the early towncoreIn post 397, Joey_ wrote:UNVOTE:
My 395 vote was when I was catching up, alligator hasn't posted in a while so i won't rush the lynch
Also, the alligator wagon composition seems almost too good to be true, which either means the game is solved or not at all
Notice something about this initial reads list by Jackel? There is a very distinct lack of red in there. No opinion on our flipped scummiesIn post 422, Jackel98 wrote:Ok, so my reads, scores from -3 (Scum) to +3 (Townie):
I hate that I thinkJoey_is my strongest townread. The way he thinks, the way he writes, it all really annoys me, but it's coming from a place that I think is townie, and he seems to be putting a lot of effort into that. He believes his reads, however wrong I think they are. +3
My strongest scumread is definitelyNEE. On the one hand, I recognize that this could be seen as OMGUS, but it really strikes me as odd how, despite being the first one to vote for me in 219 and repeatedly putting me as his strongest scumread, he waits until 288 to give a reason beyond not having a townread, and even there he only echoesBanana. In 312, he finally posts original reasons, although I disagree with the reasons. The rest of his reasoning is agreeing withJoey, eliminate lurkers, and the potential of more info. This, his other scumreads being mostly based on inactivity, what looked to maybe be a failed attempt at a wagon oncatboi(this is mostly gut tbh), and that weird trying to getStarbuckwith a gotcha in 394 just makes me really read this slot as scum. Idk, the rest of his interactions, especially withBananaandJoey, feel like attempts to buddy or just be jocular or whatever. -3
AfterNEEisD&D, but they're a significantly weaker scumread. I don't understand their reads, and that's mostly what they talk about. This read/lean is really just mostly feelings. -1½
Mechanically,Bananais probably town. I'm ambivalent about their posting. They are active, but their posts aren't really AI, and their switching between being open and reticent about their role annoys me, but that is probably just paranoia about the possibility of a mafia corruption redirector or whatever posing as a stump, which is really unlikely considering their lack of a vote. -½
S_Shasn't interacted with many people, despite being relatively active post-wise. He's kept the same vote since post 62. -½
