Dont like Oka
ive really only skimmed though and ill bother to fully read later today when theres more posts.
I agree re:clemency so far but idk how I feel about the fact that this one slot is his only townread and his only scumread is the slot that has the most flak on them atm makes me wonder a bit

Fine, I do want you to be sorted properly. @Taly, to answer your earlier question, I don’t have to many reads yet. I think you BEF and RC are town currently.
I think Dann agrees with that,
noting this post for later

well actually, i think i enjoy this pace for a large. to hell with going through 50 pages in 24 hours.
good job playerlist :D
i like this playerlist - too bad i have 2 scumleans and only 1 townlean that id publicly voice atm and i can tell thats a slightly BS read :(
VOTE: Clemency
13 posts and none of them have given me an impression on where to even start sorting you. I have AT LEAST an approach to sort or have a read on everyone else who has posted more than you.
I don't have any experience with chennisden and I don't want to jump on okas wagon, so I'm placing my vote there.
Feel free to sheep me unless you have reason to believe scum put the 8ball there. If so let us know.
if i could split a vote, it would be here.
this post is really pinging me for some reason and I can't point to any specific reason why
help

the fact that this list exists at all is enough for a scumread

PRs are sooooooo overrated.
because there's literally an option in the game for us to have one free lynch on whoever we want in a setup where our only real power is in how we lynch and how many people we get to lynch
In post 270, Taly wrote:1) Why are you focusing on the 8ball? We didn't speedvote 8ball so we can try to figure out who was likely voted for it. That's pretty much the opposite intention here.
2) How did you come to the conclusion on who is more lynchbaity than not? Playstyle? Meta? I don't know either head of your hydra, so I assume you don't have adequate amount of familiarity with me or other players to deduce this about me.
And if you did, that makes me question your motivations even more.
3) How can you say {Me/mbaki/RadiantCowbells/etc.} will NEVER be 8-Ball?
What if we were scum who 8-balled ourselves and were baiting our lynch?
What if we were scum who 8-balled someone else because we didn't plan to get lynched?
What if we were town who got 8-balled BECAUSE we were "not lynchbaity, therefore a safe lynch"?
What if we were town who didn't get 8-balled, BUT we are a good "this person is playing like X and Y on playstyle, so we can lynch/townbloc them!"
Town can't strategize on this basis, and scum can ONLY strategize based off CONTROLLING how people will get lynched via looking at their "lynchbait equity"... Which isn't too helpful pre-8ball-vote, since we didn't start the game with "I think this person is town or scum!"
4) You're saying people who are lynchbaity can likely be 8ball and this is true, but you're making radical assumptions about people's alignments and motives before even interacting with the game. This is extremely agenda-based play and no town player can evaluate a "readslist" like this and find clarity on how to solve for who is town or scum.
This post is just WIFOM and if you were in the original startup of this game and knew why people voted 8ball then that makes this worse.
Can't answer some of the questions for Conf, but:
2. Bad assumption, you not knowing our identities doesn't imply we can't be familiar with your style. And yes, obviously one would come to a conclusion of whether a player is "lynchbaity" based on playstyle and prior propensity towards getting lynched.
3. If a player's not lynchable D1, it would be stupid for scum to pick that player as 8-ball; therefore they never will be. If they do turn out to be 8-ball, that's good for town. Scum 8-balling themselves and baiting their lynch is a terrible move for scum, especially if it's a scum player who carries their team. I agree that town can't strategize on this basis necessarily, we'll just have to be more careful sorting scummy town vs scum; there's no point speculating over the 8-ball.
4. Quote the "radical assumptions" and "motives"? I haven't really interacted with my partner about the list yet but it looks pretty obvious it's a list of "who's likely to be 8-ball as town"? Also, "RC won't be the 8-ball" is a conclusion that follows regardless of whether RC is town or scum. It doesn't require any "radical assumption" about anyone's alignment.
Yes, the post is a bit WIFOMy. You've spent a lot of words saying this, but I don't see the scum motivation for posting a "likely 8-ball" list?
(If "You're stirring up WIFOM to mess with reads" is your argument, that's a poor reason)

You all just got hung up on that part, which was annoying. If anything, I made the post for my thoughts, and to show you all where I was thinking about that. It’s good to have there. But we lynch for scum.

I don't like this post either

RadiantCowbells is a safe townread for a while
Taly is a safe townread for a while
BrightEyedFish is a townread but he's derping
Clemency is a townread... a weak one, but still probably town
Taly x Confirmation Bias debate is not SvS based on how it died down, if one slot is scum here it's ConfBias since they are a lot more self-aware of how they look from it than Taly does
Confirmation Bias + Nancefloor + 0verki11 + Time Devil <--- this is all my scumreads currently
Fuscosco is skirting the edge into a scumread, but is not quite there yet.
I can see Chemist going either way depending on how he reengages into the game, I can see his entrance coming from either alignment.
OkaPoka I'll need to double check, mainly the names that have been pushing on him throughout the day so far
mbaki/Shoshin/Creature/chennisden/shadowlesscloud <--- not sure what to think of yet

my townreads are in order of strength
my scumreads are roughly Confirmation Bias > Time Devil > Nancefloor > 0verki11 atm in terms of read strength

ftr
313 really showed that this slot was looking to be townread for the 8ball spec
and this post implies that they know enough to understand why the spec is completely pointless... yet knowing said they supported it anyway?
this entire approach is ridiculous for town and looks to me like scum in over their heads on how to handle the pressure they gained from this angle

and I don't care that different heads made 313 and 364
the first line of 364 literally says that they don't think the table was pointless, therefore the link is valid.
