He's made like 4-5 posts since he came back and you just label him town. You give out townreads too easy.

Okay PeregrineV, can you elaborate further on that gutread on implosion? Because I found it interesting that so many people have a negative gut read about him while my gut says nothing. Both you and Nosferatu/Vedith expressed that gut read very early in the game.

The thing is "sometimes" I would play like that if I was an insignificant townie (read: VT, but also note "sometimes").

Now, why am I not doing this here? 2 reasons: 1- I don't feel like it (as in, I don't have the concentration and focus to do it ideally right now), and 2- because I haven't played with more than half of the player list, so it could very well backfire and I get mislynched 9which in it's own isn't a thing, except it would be a waste on D1).

Peregrine, also possibly that, or possibly just trying to sow the seeds of a future push as scum potentially.

All of implosion's reads are town or " eh..." and his only scum are in (or what once was) the lurker group.
Mirhawk is the closest thing to an active player that falls into his scumreads.

There's a very important difference; a lurker can potentially be pressured into posting, while a V/LA player cannot. Or they might happen to post in which case you can see their reaction to the vote.
Zach wrote:His vote has not moved from here.
Which I have justified.
Zach wrote:implosion has a hard time finding active players to lynch because he has to essentially make up scumreads on them.
This is just insulting.
I'm an experienced player on this site. I'm not going to have trouble as scum making up scumreads on people. It's not hard. As town, however, I don't get to pick and choose what my reads are on each player.
Zach wrote:the rest of his scumreads (AGar, Mirhawk) he's very wishy-washy on them and not really ready to commit to anything at all. Take AGar for instance.
This is because they are weak scumreads; they're just the scummiest players in the game, which makes those reads strong relative to the rest of the player list.
Zach wrote:Name someone besides me doing that? Also, why should it matter if your scumread is townread by people? Titus and Dunnstral have no problems doing that.
Wake.
It means a few things. It makes me question my read on him (because, unlike all of you fuckers, i don't think my reads are better than everyone else's and I actually at least somewhat agree with some of the points in favor of agartown like his handling of the masons).
Zach wrote:" Airick also maybe " this is bullshit, he's posted almost nothing that could be considered alignment indicative.
Imagine I have a number for each player, and when someone does something townish that number goes down and when they do something scummy it goes up. Airick's number is 0, but that's still the fourth-highest number in the game, which is pretty solid as far as I'm concerned. Again. I have a lot of townreads. If you look at almost any of my towngames you will find that I have a much easier time obtaining townreads than scumreads. Almost every game.

Do Peregrine's posts now still warrant his vote?
Posted: Tue Jun 28, 2016 10:32 am

"random"
no fucking shit i'm going to respond if you make a case on me. I'm keeping up with the thread pretty consistently. There's just not always anything that warrants posting. Y'know, because I've posted a lot and want to let others post some more? You don't seem to understand that about this game :/.
And yes, they do. There's nothing town in them. Him calling himself blatant town in his reads list is disingenuous because if he's town he should know he's not obvious (although that's a minor point). The lack of willingness to lynch me is also strange (if I'm one of his scumreads and he's felt like my tone was off early I really don't know why he wouldn't want to). That lack of willingness changing to willingness (specifically him begrudgingly saying he'd iso me) is also somewhat strange/potentially scummy depending on his justification for why he didn't want to lynch me.
I haven't played with peregrine probably in 5 years so I don't remember his play well, but there is really nothing in there that makes me want to unvote him. And again, I play the game mostly by finding townreads.

I actually haven't really been paying attention to Vedith's posts. My early reason for townreading sickofit decayed over time but his tone in his most recent post sounds really genuine.
Looking at Vedith's ISO I think I'm willing to lynch the slot. Nos was one of my weakest townreads and his take on the Titus thing feels kind of like he wants to policy lynch her for the fakeclaim without calling it a policy lynch. It feels like he might be scum who feels like scum is entitled to the mislynch after Titus misplayed. "Claiming mason when you are not mason is scum to me" in 2142 is a very 1-dimensional view of the game.

Except now I'm posting because I'm casing someone thus finding scum thus helping win the game, I'm not just loitering. I owe some real progress to make up for the 40+ pages of mason shit.

Yes. That is a minor point. When I find out who else in this game did that and you didn't vote them for it, I'll be sure to let you know.
So you play the game by finding townreads, but it follows that players that post more have more to pick at, and you can find what's not town in their statements. Not easy, but it should be doable. Yet you have no scumreads in majorly active players aside from Mirhawk. And even now, you're voting Peregrine.

The point is that he's done nothing that I can imagine he would think would be perceived as obvious town; other people doing it would be reasonable (I wouldn't fault you for it, for instance).

And?
I think a lot of the scum in this game are in the lurkers.
Some of my townreads are probably scum as well (it's not like I expect my reads to be perfect) but I don't see why this is so complicated.
