You not understanding doesn't mean poorly explained. Norwegian seems to understand after 2 posts. Yet after trying to explain further for 3 or 4 posts you're still lost, or acting lost.

I think Progo put enough effort into their posts that it's sort of making his life difficult as scum so I think he's town. I think Norwee's vote on me and paranoia of my slot is likely to come from town and some of his posts were too helpful I think for if he were playing scum. And I also am not paranoid of Tist who I think is town.
Then I think ofmercia's play is slightly more aggressive than the other players at this table which can sometimes lead to getting his slot scum read, and in my experience, kind of like the limbait slots, he's likely to flip town.
So then I just have frognworth and KittyTacky left and I read through their isos and I see hanging back, pushing easy slots while staying on the sidelanes, posting just enough to get slightly townread. I'm somewhat confident there's at least 1 scum between KittyTacky and frognworth.
1. Ofmercia's aggression isn't the problem by itself, aggressive towns win games. The problem is that the aggression was inane and extremely poorly explained when questioned.
2. Where's your survey my man?
This was supposed to be quoted.

My wife's birthday today, and she has tomorrow off as well, so I'm probably going to be less active, unless she decides to go off with friends. I'll reply to everything by Friday morning EST at the latest.

Dunnstral/StrangeMatter is definitely off the radar for now, seems as if everyone agrees with that
so far
. Still neutral on Norwegian (a 'town-controlling and analyzing' attitude is easy to pull off as a SE town and might work on newer players). Frogster remains a townlean in spite of the recent inactivity.
Hence I'd still like to vote off Daniel or Fwog, preference on former.

Just because they're "easy slots to push" doesn't make them town.
How am I scummier than Kitty if you're using the same reasoning for both of us?

I'll try to spell it out again, but I feel you will still say I'm avoiding or ignoring or not making sense or whatever because it isn't genuine.
Firstly scum have a private thread where they communicate.
Norwegian asks progo where he is, progo responds that he is busy and will pretend to answer in the thread.
This to me looked like scum talking and progo posting in the wrong thread. Scum will most surely pretend to answer posts as they need to hide scum agenda.
I know you're just going to say I'm avoiding again but this is as clear as I can get. If you still don't understand something this simple I cannot help you unfortunately.

I think my not wolf/wolf association reads are not going to be as reliable as I think they are
Very confident on the Ofmercia/Kitty one though

I'm not sure I'm following the logic behind what you're saying here @ofmercia. Exactly what about that makes it likely to you that progo posted in the wrong thread? Because every time I read it, I agree with what others have said that it reads like a grammar mistake over an actual slip.

Ofmercia is an newbie right? I don't think the assumption of: "Im gonna pretend to respond" being a scumslip is a big deal if you've never played as scum before.

354 and
356 are more believable to me on a qualitative level than the positions being taken by fwog and Kitty.

I agree he meant intend instead of pretend. I'm saying what I thought it was before he posted what it actually was.

I really dislike how fwog and Kitty feel like they put just enough effort in to get slightly town read, and how they're both presently posed with their outted scum reads to sheep whichever limbait town goes for EoD.

Alright, what is this survey? I've been reading and keep hearing about frog's survey but it's barely ever talked about beyond that other than just egging them on.

Cool we have an armada of SEs this game.
VOTE: yolohammer doesnt sound like a newbie name.
I have a supplemental D1 start method called the SSS (standard survey start). I think it might be better after the RVS is over rather than right at the start of the game. I'll probably post it around 10-12 pages in.

This is a Newbie table and I think it's also high-skilled as far as Newbie tables go. In a high skilled newbie table I think newbscum who don't replace out are going to be putting a moderate amount of effort into getting townread.
In Kitty and fwog I see the fruits of a moderate amount of effort into getting townread. I think that's more likely than Dunnstral/Strange or Auto being incompetent at getting townread. I think based on probability town is unlikely to choose correctly on the first couple of wagons so I'm very willing to look beyond common early choices that are wrong. I think there is enormous expected value in it for town because of the impact hitting correctly on D1 has for town's win rate.
I believe executing between Kitty and fwog has the highest chance of flipping scum of any pair of players at this table.

I've been procrastinating completing it because of my perfectionism! I'm sorry it's my fault I haven't posted it. I am attempting to make it up by contributing what I can to improve Town's chances.
While I was procrastinating on completing it all that time I payed a higher level of attention to this game than usual so I'm trying to share my reads as clearly as I can. I want to redeem my slot so I'm hoping my reads are better than usual due to my increased monitoring of the game state while procrastinating.

In my last game, there was a newbie scum that was scarily good at pulling off the analytical townie facade. So I'm reluctant about giving a townread based on that.
But I haven't seen anything that I consider scummy from, and there's nothing indicating that the same thing will happen in this game. So I'm still giving you a townread.
I don't agree with the main thought behind this, but I think this likely comes from town.
My problem with this as a thought though, is that often people who are deepwolfing themselves do not try to act scummy, and usually are very good at pulling off faking being town. Most of the time when someone's super obviously town it's worth asking yourself if that person can or cannot really replicate town gameplay or not. Knowing if someone can or can't do that is mostly experience though, though another rule of thumb I personally have right now is to always double-check especially on the validity of said read being right or not.

Thanks, Frog!
Could you use help with your survey? If you're working with the IPIP, I have some experience with that.

I want to understand why you have these scumreads but all I'm seeing is "Oh they're not putting in enough effort, their scumreads are obvious limbait town, so they must be scum"
