EBWOP: Or, a non-colonist, non-bionicist flip TODAY would also determine, but we've got no further information.

That's an understatement.
That was fine though.

For me, overthinkers are people with incredibly transparent thought processes that make it hard for them to play scum. They have to focus on ALL the possibilities, but they're not necessarily paranoid.

That is all for now.

So it's more likely that the scum killed Mac for being a part of the townblock (scum gotta break it up somehow unless I fucked up badly and they are afraid of protection), and vig killed Rev for being a millertracker, one would hope. Also a likely SK kill; not really a likely scumkill because he's still a possible mislynch.

As much as I'd love to lynch MS, TMT and Ven/don'tfuckingcare and SAD's not rocking me as well, it's not VERY possible all of them are scum, and it'd be a fascinating thing that if even two of those were scum in general.

I'm always up to looking. Talk to me.

Btw, if this is multiball, Venmar's over-explanation at the end of day 1 is extremely terrible (well, it is extremely terrible already, but if it's multiball it makes it scummy imo).

You don't like Venmar because you didn't like his exchange with Sajin because it was weird?
I don't really like this reasoning.

In post 2898, Ghostlin wrote:I'm not sure this is the same thing that Nacho and BnB talk about when they talk trajectory. (I will talk more about progression of reads in a part below.)

Not quite. Trajectory is just taking an idea in someone's post and seeing that idea evolve a little bit, seeing if it seems genuine or like complete and total bullshit.

Nacho pointed out many reasons for Sajin to be town in post 1955. Venmar's 'because he is' was a horrible response and did feel a lot like he was riding shirt tails.

stop please
andy is my ray of sunlight and the love of my life
you would be my ray of sunshine but you didn't even skim my catchup posts for your name

I did too see my name and I agree that varsoon is town. I have tried reaching out to him but he is completely ignoring me, lol. ask him to go back and read mac's posts about what info he gleaned from his gambit cos those were some really good ones, mac is a great teacher. I am going to miss him

I am rereading everything cos last night I may or may not have had a bottle of wine.

also let's make sure we are all on the same page here, aj is getting lynched today cos pretty much everyone wants aj dead including aj except for his scummates. right now we are setting up tomorrow's lynch for the third candidate.

I think it should be metal but nacho wants sad and I might be good with that. dunno. I still am sus of andy.

we will be doing this:



until I can soldify a read right now he reads as scum but nacho says no

town herd now consists of nacho, orc, sajin, cabd, varsoon and rach. nacho has td as town and I feel that I can trust that read.

gonna finish my reread but here is where I am at

Mollie, your other head seems to hate me with a passion.

I like ghostlin tbh

@BnB why do you see Varsoon town? I really don't. His "gambit" that would have lead to a modkill comes across as trying to get a town to self lynch, possibly ending the day and saving 2's ass. That and all the stuff I pointed out in my reads. I'm with you on Metal though. If you think I'm off on Barsoon, could you link me to why?

I still haven't heard from TMT, but I don't want to keep holding my vote. So if he doesn't agree, I guess he can debate me on changing it.

In post 2878, Andrius wrote:Nope. Nice try jiffy.
I'm personally thinking the second half of the wagon; scum bussing once they realize that 2 can't be saved.

andy.

my skin is really soft and I smell nice how come you can't tell when you are talking to a girl

I think you can

meh. venny looks like a derp hammer and the L1 vote looked natural.

so who are you thinking. varsoon? I don't think so.

how you are not scumreading aj. like you are really working hard at it

In post 2843, Nachomamma8 wrote:Interesting. I find paranoid players are more creative as scum; the paranoia itself takes a creative process and it's the centerpiece of their towngame, so they tend to gambit a bit more as scum. But this theory is not properly fleshed out yet, but. There you go. I'm going to be looking and that paranoia and diving into it, and if it's good, we're good.

It'll show through from noob-scum, but as you're scum longer, you learn to control these gambits a little more. But I actually believe that paranoid is not the correct word... "Overthinkers" are the ones to do this.

VOTE AJ

his timing with his outrage. it was at a point where he was wanting to lead town with a gambit that he thought would for sure catch scum but was feeling slighted that no one was listening to him. I responded to him and tried to reach out to him but his blatantly ignoring me reads as townish cos I would think that if he was going to pursue the sulkey angle as scum he would not have dropped it (it would give scum great cover to hide behind that particular aTe). frustrated town would would though

Scum might want to back off because it gives them a chance to, Yknow, stop talkingg

In post 2913, orcinus_theoriginal wrote:Scum might want to back off because it gives them a chance to, Yknow, stop talkingg

but you are assigning skill level wrt timing + faking genuine emotion that seems to me would be very hard for someone to do with varsoon's current skill level.

I don't find trolly comments "genuine emotion" tbh

his initial reaction was not trolling though

I'm aware. It was a joke. I respect his playstyle, I just don't share it.

Is GIF VLA or something? I expected a ranty post of love by now.

So, I am split on AJ. Don't get me wrong, I still believe AJ is town, but my townreads ( namely Nacho ) believe AJ to be scum, which makes me doubt my own read. I tend to put at least 1 scum into my townreads pretty much every game, so I wouldn't be surprised if AJ was actually scum, but in this case I feel confident in my own personal townread, which I trust more especially because of how quick AJ's wagon took off. I don't feel confident in this wagon is the overall conclusion I have come to I think.

Now, Rachmaries #2769 strengthens my scumread on her. That vote looked like blatant wagonhopping, and thus opportunistic. She sees Nacho and Orc jump the gun on AJ, sees the potential of the speed of the wagon, and jumps on by glorifying Nacho and BnB. ( Fun fact, Rachmarie is the 3rd vote on the wagon, a spot I constantly see held by a scum player at least more than... 70% of the time. This is a textbook tell to me that is pretty reliable. )

- A quick ISO of her history with AJ shows to be kind of disappointing. Her views on AJ look very paper thin and weak. She votes for AJ in #1927 for questionable reasons. "not looking at everyone" and "just a few points on a few peeps" are very vague statements, and the words "and yeah" gives me the tone that she isn't confident in the read, thus making me think it is paper thin.

- Following up on the above, following her vote she makes literally NO effort to push her vote and scumread of AJ. In #2192 she spends a whole post talking about townreads and things aimed at her, but when it comes to her scumread of AJ, she says nothing at all. Following up posts about AJ, such as #2283 and #2504, are as equally vague and non-helpful. Rachmarie makes no effort to pursue her "scumread" of AJ, which makes me think she doesn't actually believe in AJ being scum.

• This also gives me the impression that Rachmarie is playing close to the vest. Rachmarie has been playing Under The Radar for the majority of this game I think.

- A small point I would like to mention. Rachmarie believes in AJ to be scum, but makes no mention of AJ at all in her little "catchup" post to me. Including what looks like your game long scumread and vote in your summary strikes me as a townie thing to do, but she doesn't do so. Interesting to say the least. ( #2324 is the catchup post, for those of you who are interested. )

- I disagree with whoever said this is Rach's townmeta ( I think it was Nacho? ). Town Rach to my knowledge is way more involved in the game than this. As town, she actually tries to prove things and make some sort of difference, but she has had ( from what I can tell ) little impact on the course of the game, period. If my memory serves me right, lurkish behaviour is also a part of her scummeta.

- Probably the strongest point here: Gut. Her posts strike me as scummy via gut. Yeah...

For those of you who have a problem with my sudden flip on my Sajin scumread, I am simply going to quote one sentence I have said during Day 1, and leave it at that for y'all to figure out, with no further discussion from me about it.

In post 2736, Venmar wrote:I'll be revisiting Sajin soon enough.

Um Venmar how is it opportunistic when I voted for the dude I thought was scumz yesterday? nice misrep there.

BTW why are we ruling out a vig? I could very well see a vig shooting Rev there was certainly plenty of confusion on his slot and there were peeps who were not sure about his claim, especially the tracker part. Miller was kinda believable but tracker meh, (NOT claiming vig BTW).

15 minute response time. Wow.

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.
