I didn't think it was based solely on it, but I figured his case would be indicative of the overall thrust.
I'll even agree that MS's derptitude is eroding my town read faster than Cookie Monster does a baker's dozen, but what is the case reasoning I'm missing? It looks currently like a 'lynch the derp' wagon, which is not an unpleasant wagon but I'm not sure it's a wagon of win either.

So, you wait for MS existance gives us these tells. We have Eli, who won't give us those. Lynch the guy who won't then lynch MS. MS can give us more clues in Day 3.

Thor: Look at Desperado's case on pitoli, for starters. And someone else (Mastin, maybe?) made one too. RC, recently, as well. And even disregarding full cases, most people on the wagon have stated reasons to be on the wagon that are pretty good. The pitoli/metal sonic wagons have been a Thing since early today, far before sangres made a case.

P-edit:

Desperado, well, they don't, but they give us valuable information.

Titus: Sorry, but I cannot parse your post at all. What?

@Amrun, contributing players give associative tells. People who avoid contributing don't. Keep MS alive and lynch Eli. MS will give tells Eli won't.

@Brains, now get back on the Eli train please.

I will as soon as I see something else I'm looking for from Metal Sonic. Like catching up and cases and a vote and some opinions. Otherwise that town tell won't stand alone for long in a sea of scumminess.

You were both present when that conversation started. You've previously stated that you guys talk about everything. Yet that doesn't include changing your vote and sheeping RC? I think it's incredibly relevant that mollie didn't know you had unvoted Elli.

What are you gonna do, send your non-lethal walkers to maybe/maybe not kill me tonight? :roll:

The point of my post was to explain to you that Elli will be forced to give more concrete associative tells than anyone, if scum, and if town, will give us information.

Plus, associative tells are a two way street. There would already be a ton if either of them flipped any alignment.

Awesome. I appreciate that, because I am pretty darn certain that you're town and it's good that we can work together. I feel very comfortable in trusting your reads/intuitions based on your play so far, so at the very least we can exchange information and help each other out.
Desperado 2788 wrote:And I didn't ignore it, Red.
Ah, okay, cool. That's good. I paid special attention to people who were calling out Toog/Amrun because I think they've both played pretty solid and think that anyone calling them out over the claim thing would be kind of a copout and fake scumhunting that I would find suspect.

Sugar 2792 wrote:all his scumreads are like the most suspected players in the game and both me and Mara didn't like the fact he kept bandwagoning without being fully caught up.
Uh, no. How many votes do you three have total? Metal Sonic had, like, 2. AD had 1. You had 0. The only people really calling you out consistently have been Thor and OGML. With AD it's been mastin. I'll give you that Metal Sonic has had many detractors over the course of this day, but that's because they're scum for the reasons I've described and should be lynched.

Also the bandwagon as I have explained at least twice so far, but will keep explaining as long as it keeps being brought up. Large games have many people and lynches aren't a scary thing that towns need to be afraid of and put off until the last minute. Lynches in large games on the first 2 or 3 days really should just be about getting rid of dead weight that is detracting from the town. Elli fits that bill perfectly, and so did SK.

I apologize for taking the things you say seriously and reading you with the assumption that you'd actually want to help and not harm the town.
Sugar 2798 wrote:Why was it important to move my vote?
Why is it important for any town player to move their vote? It puts them on the record as voting to lynch someone. It's important to use for analytical purposes. I don't like the way you've been using yours.
Sugar 2798 wrote:You have me leaning scum for doing something that I'm known for doing? WTF?
Known for doing in this game. Paranoia doesn't read town to me. Especially mixed with your hydra dissonance it comes across as scummy.
Sugar 2798 wrote:Upon what authority has told you that Toog is town?
Upon my own, brother. I don't need anyone's authority to townread someone.
Sugar 2798 wrote:Why did you feel the need to skip a paragraph on Titus? Can you explain your Titus read better? In your little blurb it seems like you have it more in a positive light than negative so....yeah.
Because I was tired of writing at that point and didn't want to start another big thing over a player that I have a significantly weaker scumread on. Titus made one key error. He's either scum over that, or he's arguably helpful town.

Toog 2804 wrote:You have zero post accountability when heads disagree in thread. If Mara thinks player A is scum, and then Nero comes in and says player A is town, you set up a schizophrenic read that makes it near impossible to have relation tells. It's almost like fence sitting imo.
This. I doubt you'll treat it any more rationally coming from Toog instead of me, but it's still valid. I know I've beat you over the head with this point, but it's a big reason why I'd be content to lynch you. (@Sugar)
Toog 2806 wrote: Good stuff, though I wont jump up and down like Desp did about how town RC is for it because RC-scum would know well enough that only a post like that would be acceptable for town points at this point.
Yes, it should be known that I can make these large wall posts as scum or town, so it's not something you should fully hang your hat on just because. That said, I am town. :cool:

---
Titus 2810 wrote:His whole read is basically a fence sit on me entirely.
*shrug*

I don't think OGML as scum or SK would've stuck his neck out this far to get you lynched. I believe him. Therefore, the slip is creditable in my eyes. Other than that and your concocted story on how you are completely innocent on anything that wayne did, you've been playing pretty town. That's why I'm not really going to push hard for your lynch, but I would be satisfied with it. Maybe that's fencesitting, but it's the truth.

We approach the game differently then. You two are scared of lynching. I value it, especially when many in the town have little to no self-control.

There's one big, gigantic difference between your slot and NBH's slot. I'll let you think on it. JD is no longer in this game, so that's neither here nor there.
Sugar 2870 wrote:you accuse us of bogging down the thread, though a few of your own town-reads have done that as well? Why are we scummy for it, while they aren't?
What townread of mine has been bogging down the thread? The closest would be Thor, I guess, but nearly every post he makes has a clear goal, a clear objective in mind. Like him or not, he's trying to get something done. The same cannot be said for you, I argue.
Sugar 2870 wrote:You don't agree with my Toogers read, but you don't explain how me reading him as scum is scummy. You also ignore my entire push on Thor even though it was just as bad as my push on Toogers?
Your push on Thor must not have stuck out like the one on Toog did then. I think your push on Toog is seriously misguided and you put too much weight on the idea that he's using IIoA. I think Toog is bring information in about the theme in a very responsible way and helping the town, especially the players that aren't as familiar with the theme, digest it a bit more easily. It strikes me as good stuff, and to call him on it feels like weak scumhunting.
Sugar 2870 wrote:You've accused my post of being overly emotional, ok so? How is that, in anyway scummy?
Preying on people's emotion is a way to manipulate them in an underhanded way. It's easy to fake.

I agree with the first part. Elli is thinking the lurking will either let the town trip over themselves and start moving their votes around (which is kind of happening) or that he's getting lynched anyway so no point in trying to act townie.

I don't agree with the second part because I strongly doubt anything Metal Sonic could say would change my opinion of him. That policy lynch statement looked incredibly weak to me and not like a soft claim at all.

His play is so abysmal I don't care to figure out his alignment. I'd lynch him "just because" at this point.

Elli's wagon has more traction. If Metal Sonic had more traction I'd be on that.

And we have two vigs so..............
