Krab person (cabd?) - why did you feel the need to seperate orc for not having enough posts from everyone else who don't have enough posts? I found this kinda bizarre behaviour.
It's weird to see him NOT super hyperactive, after seeing his play in other games. I felt it needed more distinction, hence "not enough posts yet", because orci usually has walls up by now.
where have you seen me walling
like am i so oxygen-deprived right now that i don't even remember my own playstyle

cabd's posts has a very different vibe from xenoblade
here it's a lot of questions (even when he's trying to make a point) and that gives his ISO a weird feel
in xenoblade it was a lot more "here is what is happening you are scum because this", very certain, very in control
I don't know if I'm picking at straws here but I'm just going through this game picking up every little thing right now and sorting it out later

I found a person who fabricated a scum read on Nero
You.
I read Fery's walls and did a hugeass ISO of bulba. I have no meta knowledge but I am still queasy about this for a few reasons.
Mac: yes, Mac was scummy, yes okay that is currently my largest reason to scumread bulbafenix
Forced hydra dissonance: Im comparing this with selkies and I'm not getting anything out of the ordinary
Meta: Seems to me like meta won't be of any help since im getting the vibe that bulba at least is very good at being scum
I think overall aside from the Mac analysis you are mostly seeing what you want to see. I mean you say stuff like "Stuff that may strike a townie as off may not draw any attention from a scum player because they know the post is coming from a town player.", but there's a very likely flip side to this argument which is "scum try to look for anything at all that may seem off because they need to find scum reads", and you fail to demonstrate why the former is more likely than just town that missed something
2695:
No bulba wasn't sheeping you, otherwise I wouldn't be in null and I don't think you were town reading BRO. This is off the top of my head but I feel like it's a weak point to base a scumread on. You said that a problem with the post was that it didnt have the sense of a new town player--I would disagree. I like serene and i being in null (I mean you even say that serene's predecessor is something really really town in that same post). I don't remember TIP being universally town.
I mean, it's like you attack them for not being controversial enough with their reads and then you attack them for pushing serene and for being tone-deaf
There's one thing in favor of bulba being scum though. I do not think that anybody would genuinely talk down to their partner in-thread like that. It stuck out to me when I first saw it and I thought it was interesting. I think it is scum theater. I do not think bulba has forced hydra dissonance. Their dissonance is fine. It's the way they interact in thread, with one head publicly suppressing the other that bugs me
Ill sleep on this and get back in the morning
I didn't take it very well. I felt like you were dismissing my concerns about them and not really considering my view. You posted this in a time frame where your lack of activity and promises to review stuff later had been making me nervous. And it was another read that you and I disagreed on, while Syr and I were in agreement. You were pushing people I had in my town pile and pushing back on Bulba.

Xenoblade was my first "real" game here. Do you really not expect me to have learned from it? Not to mention, the awkward way I've been stuck in a hydra with one head means I can't just post like mad from my phone like I did in xenoblade. I may replace out into cabd proper if he doesn't show soon. I had to play day two solo.
But define coherent. Because you worry me as much as I worry you, apparently. You've been spot on on calling alignments of both lynched players well in advance of their wagon picking up steam, and in the case of Nero, well before the rest of us realized it. And stevie too.
As ffery might say: "/paranoia"
this is stupid ms is so ridiculously slow right now
the first two sentences doesn't make sense to me. why would you 'learn' from your towngame to be less coherent?
i may be misremembering here but have you ever even mentioned your hydra buddy in all of day 2? it seems to me like you would want to talk to him about this game if you were town.
you don't worry about me or at least not from what i've seen so that seems a bit off
i laugh whenever people call me scum for opposing lynch wagons that end up being on town. i read nero correctly in last game, i've stated why i think bulbacase was water, and...what the hell is this about stevie?? i've been okay with lynching him...
oh yeah nightkills also implicate you but i'm not going to nkspec on day 3 i hate that shit

For this to happen, you're assuming there's an SK, two scum teams, and myself
The only way I think that's even remotely possible is if we see three kills without me or tomorrow night we see four kills (Because I'm probably blasting someone)

reading through newbie 1367, scumcabd distances his buddies like fuck
so unless he seriously stepped up his game i'm guessing that if he is scum he is not scum with shadi
which makes me feel a bit better about the whole cabd/shadi interaction
because the thing is cabd started out by hardtowning shadi and then did a 180 and scumread him, and then after what I thought was a pretty weak gambit especially considering how much it's been overused, basically thought shadi as contown
the whole thing read as a bit off to me but I guess if cabd/shadi isn't a team that kills the suspicion there a little
ugh but i really hate using newbie games as meta basis
cabd's proactiveness is somewhere between his scumgames and xenoblade and that's just a little ew
stay tuned

Prohawk looked like he was on the verge of making a case on cabd. Since he had extensive meta knowledge of cabd that could've been dangerous
he never mentioned rift adrift or fery

okay but how are you supposed to conftown someone for a very VERY scant readlist and you were looking for a kneejerk reaction because that is
the only way those gambits work
shadi took 8 minutes
this is no longer a kneejerk reaction

i'm not saying shadi is scum for it
i'm just saying like i always have that hardtowning shadi for that oneeeeee shitty reaction test makes no sense
he could've read the last few pages in the thread in that 8 minutes and realized cabd was bullshitting
this reminds me of gcbc claiming guilty on us when his watch didn't get through
cabd misses obvious shit (obvious from a town viewpoint that is) as scum
why wasn't his first thought a scum roleblock?
it's the same principle here

I don't necessarily agree with the Stevie is scum mantra. I agree that his vote on me was poor, his reasoning (me being either scum or a bad player) likewise tact-less, but I can't see a whole lot of scum-benefit is being so controversial.
I would be willing to lynch BROsideon today.
Completely agree with this analysis.

True meta does not one game make.
In order to have an accurate read based on meta, you need to have
at least
one town and one scum game to compare to that show explicitly that said player never does one thing as either town or scum while doing it as the opposite alignment. Meta is problematic because we are not static people. We change all the time based on experience.
for posterity, prohawk's posts about cabd

Personally, I thought it was conceivable that Shadi could have noticed it was a gambit and run with it, but I thought the way in which he responded was very townie rather than the simple fact that he posted a list. At least, that's what I remember thinking.
Honestly though, that reaction test was incredibly shitty even by the standards of this thread (really, a vengekill? Who the fuck believes that?)
Thank you for getting unweird orci, I was starting to doubt. I am beginning to think there is scum in this town block, if it can even be called such with the mass paranoia it's having. I do have a suspicion as to the problem here.

what were your reasons for towning me? just day 1 is fine
