I'm not waiting 3 days for Vorkuta to finally get back to the thread only to have to wait another 3 days for YellowSnow too

Meh, optimal play is to wait. Which is annoying that they aren't getting prodded but this is why I didn't start mass claim yesterday.

Tbh, I don't really care about popcorning and I've never seen it actually help, because reading when and how people choose to claim is also a thing. So
SS / Vorkuta / Snow
should all claim when they see this. Snow should theoretically be first followed by Vorkuta and then SS, but the days are "short" (10 days) so might as well get it over with.

Consider me voting Boats right now.
@Vorkura - you need to unvote. If Snow gets on, they can probably pull off a quick hammer and win.
I don't see why I need to claim today, I'll say now that I don't have any useful info.

Come now, you've played long enough to know the purpose of a mass claim. I will let you claim after Snow if you think that's important as you're a stronger town read.

I mean, I also know the value of keeping your cards close to your chest.

I town read you enough and know you're smart enough that I will trust your judgment this time. If we get to post game and I disagree with your decision, I won't be okay with it in future games jsyk.
Just waiting on Snow then.

Day 4 will end in (expired on 2019-03-19 17:29:00) or when a lynch has been achieved.

cool
glad to know that we are potentially in lylo where solving the setup could win town the game and yet "I don't need to reveal yet"

Any scum player is going to attempt to replicate their town meta as scum. And the fact that Creature's scum meta has been labeled as very obviously different from his town meta means that he can easily fake being town if he wants to. (That said, see below)
Similarly, I'm hesitant about any entirely meta based reads of players who are considered to be very good. Someone in that category of player would know what kind of things they are likely to be town read for. I'd be more curious to know if anyone looks like they're playing to their town meta, but in a way that looks forced.
No... that's not really how meta reads work. The reason that effective meta reads exist in the first place comes from an obvious difference between people's town and scum games. Yes, it is theoretically possible for someone to mimic their towngame as scum, but those type of people... don't tend to get meta-read.
That being said, I actually do agree with you in that Creature is most likely town. I'm willing to believe that he just had a slow start.
Unvote
I've heard a lot about how his old meta is no longer reliable in reading him, but apart from perhaps a single game (Transformers Mafia) I can't think of a game that actually demonstrates this. Interested if someone actually has one.
I probably re-vote Tarkus here, going to check VC.
These are the first times that Tarkus is brought up by COA.
Creature is cases and voted in between.
There is no further push until the DDL or Tarkus line is brought up way later.
COA also lurked the entirety of her time alive, she only really popped in two or three times.

She also positioned herself on the other side of Boats/Yellow.
They were both pushing me as scum, while COA nulled me. That was so they all weren’t making the same push while also not giving RC total control.

Why were both RC and dunn so sure that snow was town rhough?
