The day ending on RR/Mastina is fine

I liked RR's interpolation of events when I read it however, so am not favoring that vote

I didn't really. It was just "these 3 players did this and this and it was SO scummy!"

They had more reasoning beyond that? If I was able to summarize it and take things of note then they at least put some thought into it.

Yeah I'm not sold on them being scum, just think it's least bad of current wagons. There are at least 3 slots I'd rather jettison.

I understand this take is without context, but you play enough of these games and you start to notice patterns. Does anyone believe that the notated users have any scum equity? Open question
Weird cause I feel the opposite. Hyper posting benefits scum so someone from the scum team is gonna do it.

For what it's worth I doubt Furtive's read as for the longest time is was based on the dubious claim of "filler" and despite me being by far his most talked about scumread has never meaningfully tried to do anything about it.

In case you wanted the opposite context.

I don't think that's an accurate read of PPF. Nancy is clearly hanging her hat, rightly or wrongly, on her meta read of Mastina. It's not for some reason, it's for a specific reason. Yes, it's for a reason you disagree with (and I do too) but it's been specifically stated.

The way Nancy approaches her read around Mastina and the way Yume does is night and day though. It might help you to compare and contrast there.

I don't want to get too sidetracked but face value I haven't really been wowed by his posts either. Seems like there's no stake in his claims and I was taken aback by his townread on me

We all know if another wagon surpasses mastina for too long, he'll declare it scum driven. Spam. I just want to skip that part.

To the contrary. Supposedly the people defending Mastina say she’s town yet aren’t working to an alternative.

The lack of a wagon making it anywhere makes me think scum want a no elim.
There are no lack of counter wagons though? What is this?

I'm very stream of conscious in my posting. I think your plan to deal with the biggest issue of the day is sound.

There have been two attempts at a wagon, Professor and RR.

Neither attempts were anyone talking with each other. It was more I don’t want Mastina.

Yeah but this Rat one is pretty much the textbook counter wagons. All of Mastina's defenders are on it.

This is fair, it's just frustrating that I can point out all of the ways mastina's actual content is scummy, but because she had an angry and condescending attitude that she can sometimes have as Town, it's her Town meta. Even though I, you, Math, and others have all pointed out that it's fakable, multiball fucks with meta reads, and even mastina herself has admitted she isn't playing to either her Town or scum meta since she isn't even really mastina at this point, and it's just... I can't comprehend looking at everything that's happened and seeing mastina as Town with any degree of confidence, meta or not.

There
was
, combination of past inertia + Professor pivoting off of voting me when there was no really good reason to + Professor AtE after being voted + Professor giving up + people feeling like the "I solved the game" was fake + probably more.

But now, I don't support a professotic wagon at all. While I'm not
sure
, I do think more likely town than not on your slot.
In post 2095, professotic wrote:soo why does one make intentionally crappy push?
It wasn't a crappy push?

Frozen Angel is almost 100% scum here (small doubts now keep it from being the 100% I once thought it to be but I still lean as likely scum overall)--but I only have one vote, and Frozen Angel in particular has gotten no votes this game. Did you want me to vanity vote there? FA was not my priority, but I can state scumreads on players that are not my priority.

I have explained the read on FA multiple times, and if you want more people to look at it and give feedback, ask Ydrasse and Titus what they think of my FA stance this game.

While this is not a bad thought, I feel like a town-RR would push it stronger.
Do you think I'm scum WITH professotic?
Because if you think we're not aligned, what incentive does scum!me have to pull their punches?
This is not a real thought from you.

You know why?

Because this isn't a singleball game and you know it isn't.

What reason does a scum player
in a multiball
game have to pull their punches?

I shouldn't need to say that, now, should I?

But just in case you wanna try to spin it, I'll spell it out anyway.

Scum in multiball want to push hard enough to look town and not be eliminated, but not hard enough to get nightkilled by the enemy team. They still want to apply
some
pressure, to prevent their own faction from being the pressured. Whether it's better to pressure town or pressure other-scum is both player-dependent (different players think different things) and situation-dependent (big difference between town being hugely in the lead and one scumteam being unscathed while the other is on the verge of extinction), but applying some pressure, but not too much pressure, is exactly what scum in multiball want to do.

A town-you knows this.
A town-you pushes harder.

But you because you're scum are pretending to not know a Mafia 101 thing. It's literally the first rule of multiball.
