I will probably think you're scum if you post like that.
While it is annoying, why do you think it comes from scum?
It would only serve to impair their own information which isn't helpful as either alignment.

Actually on second thought there would be an advantage, I'll wait to see if we are thinking of the same thing

The abstract names/avatars does contribute to that I think. Unfortunate situation

As far as I can tell Triangle this game has made basically one point which is a really odd roundabout TMI accusation on penta.
Still don't really understand Penta's 180 on me, but others seem to believe the logic holds and its right so I guess it can be left be.
more than the fact that the logic holds its that i dont see scum making that reversal on you at that moment in time

Ok, it's official. I have been thinking about this for a while. Star is no longer a townread for me. He's becoming a scumlean but is currently a nullread. See
373 for my reasoning. (Though, in that post, Star was still a townread for me.)

Diamond calls out Star for volunteering and taking it backsies - he calls it a bit-LAMISTY
Later however:

He more or less makes the same kind of LAMisty appeal.
I do think it's possible he is just fustrated town who feels like he is being frozen out - but the game has barely been running for 2? days so I'm not sure that's something that's genuine.
It feels to me that the game state is still wide open and I think people are happy to mingle and talk - we've only paired 2 players so far.
I guess I think if he's town I just want to give him a big hug.
Maybe even if he's scum I would too? I am a sucker for AtE.
i think its a weird thing for scum to complain about being ignored
like if im scum no one paying attention to anything i say would be pretty much the ideal like why do you care if no one talks to you as scum haha
although i dont know what diamond posted that they are upset about being ignored for
looking back they had one big post with some thoughts and not much else
i still feel like when ive seen people upset at being ignored theyve always been town
but i actually like this reasoning from you seems like youre really digging in and looking for something to catch

Actually, Triangle's attitude has me townlean them, now. Scum is almost never that peculiar. Scum usually try to make themselves seem super reasonable as opposed to what Triangle's been doing so far.

In post 297, Color Blue wrote:@Circle how do you feel about pairing with Orange?
I think she might be interested in you and she is quite the catch.
im actually not sure yet
felt oddly apprehensive at her catchup
but i feel like i really need to reread the game and take notes now to wrap my head around it

Hopefully, Star isn't upset that they fell so far down in my reads. Just to clarify on my current position on everybody, here is an oversimplied model.
Townreads (Everbody except Triangle and Star)
Townlean (Triangle)
Nullread/Scumlean (Star)

I would be so sad if Star's actually scum. It wasn't until today that I started scumleaning him. I would feel kind of bad if Star's plan of being left out of the pairs was just to Delay Blue or Diamond. His first post did feel super Town but his attacks on Blue and Diamond are what made me doubt that he's Town.

To be fair, I've almost never caught scum by myself except for that time scum fearkilled somebody because they brought up a previous game they had together where the person who was NKed voted one of the scum in both games right before getting NKed.

I was spectating that game. I admit that I was kind of proud of myself for catching scum that oone time. (Yes, I only figure out scum when they get too nervous and do a fearkill.)

Diamond's defeatist attitude wrt perceived lack of interaction is very meh to me, several people myself included have given him content to work with but he hasn't responded to much. It also seems odd that he's acting like he's going to have to go solo since no one is poking at him too much, even though he's guaranteed to pair up with a color. Also don't like Triangle's gimmick the longer the game goes on, since my eyes tend to glaze over when reading their posts and that may just be the point. It seems like borderline encrypted text, intentionally making their posts hard to read just seems anti-town.
For colors, Green, Purple, Red, and Yellow all feel pretty townie to me.
Not really liking Blue's posts, early reads felt off and her scum reads ping me with Ro3. If Blue ever flips scum I'd want to get Diamond next immediately. Orange meanwhile is null scum for me, mainly just vibes since a lot of early posts were just "I like this/this seems townie" without giving a reason, plus the early shade on Purple that didn't go anywhere and just faded once he started towning it up. It got weird because Orange seemed to be so impressed by Purple's town read on me that she went from believing Purple was fishy to hard town reading him.
this post is very meh to me

I want to be wrong on Purple, I think I might be somewhat confbiased against him but most people think he's town so I don't think it will matter much.
I'd actually like pairing with Diamond despite thinking he's suspicious because he sounds like a fun guy and I have a weakness for bad boys.
And, because I wanted to reply to the other post first, and after reading
296 and the post on Star:
I... kind of hate a lot of these reads. I disagree with the Purple/Green/me/maybe (??) Pentagon (this one is a lot less formed in my head currently but it's how I've felt reading today) reads right now and the disparity of where I'm placing people right now is uh, Concerning.
If I had a pick/wanted to force through one for myself I don't think I'd want to pair with you right now, sorry.
Well I don't expect you to agree with my scumread on yourself but I am happy to talk about purple/green/pentagon
what are your reads on these three slots?

Remaining Pairs
Blue/Orange/Green
Triangle/Star/Circle/Diamond
As I'm not a huge fan of the colors remaining, we may want to try to pair scummy players with each other. That way if we are right on at least one of the pair, we deny scum control on an ability if either is eliminated.
As for which to which that would fall on associative which I personally am garbage at reading.

Assuming we elim the unpaired player d1,
In theory pairing (likely scum if the unpaired is town) with (likely scum if the unpaired is town) and (likely scum if unpaired flips scum) with (likely scum if unpaired flips scum) would be best.
Even if we don't have strong associatives (i wouldn't be one to judge) I think town deciding the remaining pairs would be +town.
