....ok

I didn’t deserve that, but thank you Mena.

i think mariar / ss is viable btw

Still in lynch pool.

i really just want ss and lilith to like ~take real stances on something~

That seems like a familiar comment.

I think S_S has said before as town that he appears scummy as scum and this is often called out. Therefore it’s kinda odd that he’s also saying he’s more likely to appear invested as scum when I think people who appear invested are more likely to look town

In post 662, Something_Smart wrote:Probably the same things town is doing at this point.

This is sort of a cop out and I would also find it odd for him to think this 660 posts in when I kind of think scum would be starting to do not town things. Take his point about scum trying to look like they’re doing the same things as town tho

Not on D1.

Provably false, there are multiple games where S_S has done plenty of scumhunting on D1 (first that comes to mind now is tris’ mininormal but I can find others very easily)

This sounds like empty rhetoric to me.

This just felt like a weird dismissal

Last I checked I wasn't in the habit of drawing attention to myself for no reason as scum.

In post 2033, Something_Smart wrote:Like seriously.

The support for gobble groupscum is not there. I knew it wasn't going to be there. People are not thinking critically about the claim and retraction and instead just going "oh maybe he's VT who messed up" as if that makes any sense.

WHAT IS MY ANGLE HERE AS SCUM?

Please answer that. What am I trying to accomplish as scum, knowing that people are very likely not going to listen to me, because they never do?

Honestly the two posts that make me most think S_S could be town. But like I do think that if the alternative was likely to be him, and he was being pushed hard by people (like me!) prior to the retraction, there’s an incentive to be on the defending side while I’m pushing gobbles for claiming SK but then to switch to making sure the lynch goes through once gobbles starts looking townier. But like, I do kinda think the indignation could be town

In post 2078, Menalque wrote:I also really think they give the lie to this, because town S_S pretty definitively does scumhunt on D1 and this now sounds much more like an excuse for not having scumhunted than it fits into his meta of not letting people push him into stuff

Would you like me to find myself saying I don't scumhunt on D1 as town? I'm sure I can.

It's not literally true, of course, since it depends on the situation. But my philosophy is very much to try to find town in the early stages and then put things together mechanically from there.

There’s a difference between him saying he doesn’t scumhunt as town on D1 and whether he actually doesn’t. I don’t think he ever did find this for me, although in fairness I’m not sure I actually asked him to find it for me

In post 2108, Menalque wrote:S_S what would your read have been on lilith if she’d entered the game hard shitpushing you?

Null probably, given that she did that to me last time as scum and I townread her for it, so it's completely WIFOM as to whether she'd do it again.

This seems weird to me as I’d say that if someone had just entered a game shitpushing me then them doing the opposite the next game would actually twig me more as I wouldn’t take the exact same approach to someone twice. He’s not being unreasonable here it just seems off to me to be this null on her shifting radically in how she’s approaching him

In post 2345, Something_Smart wrote:I may not have an accurate conception of scum-Menalque.

But I don't think the scum-Menalque I know gets indignant about not being labeled a scum mastermind, when doing so directly opens him up to suspicion. Possible exception is if it's his partner's list he is objecting to.

One of the other things that made me feel he was kind of townier but that might be because he’s saying accurate things about me

In post 2830, Menalque wrote:True, but I think that in this scenario there’s also the mitigating factor of your prior read on lilith making it hard for you to suddenly shift to bussing if you were on a “mutual townreads” course earlier on.

I don't think it would be hard for me to shift to bussing, I never had lilith as more than a light townread and they were based on very early things.

Oh I realise now I wanted one that was like a couple before this but I thought his “I can’t be bothered to play the game because I’m annoyed with what turkey did” seemed like more excuses to not have to try very hard and was scummy, especially because I don’t think what the turkey did was actually that bad and I’m totally over it by now and I would expect most town players to have a similar trajectory and feeling about it (also no one else has made a big deal of it kind of confirming that for me?)

Eh? I have no idea what you mean. When did you get slapped on the wrist for trying to drive a wagon? Also there’s a load of stuff in skitt’s ISO I think if you wanna look there, she’s been the one most consistently pushing him

Also Maria can you respond to the first half of this please? About when you got slapped on the wrist for trying to drive a wagon

I’d really like if penguin or Maria would vote S_S tbh

Datisi could do it too if she’s up and stalking the thread

*looks into spy camera datisi is using on the thread*

In post 2945, MariaR wrote:So am I and I'm not being wagoned.

You offer less info than SS.

Maria’s posts about them not interacting while she’s been largely completely absent and her soft defense of SS are pretty much the perfect example of why I think they have S/S equity.

In post 2853, Menalque wrote:So if you don’t think you have a particular reason to think that pool is wrong and that you shouldn’t be townreading everyone else, do you think maybe the best approach is to just flip a couple of slots within there and then go from there

yes but i don't rest easy until the game is over and y'all get to listen to my complaints

I am leaning Lilith is pocketed.

SO LETS LYNCH SS FOR THE WIN PEOPLE.
