And I should say that his basis for wking me fits perfectly with what I know of how he reads me. It's not a fabricated read.

Which isn't really germane to his alignment but it's a data point.

Ya, no. By trust anyone I mean "trust anyone's reads". you cant actually be arguing that I said I dont have any townreads and then listed them as town. And I dont typically just trust anyone's reads. Its not very common for me to pull the townblock + synch method of scumhunting.

Im going to throw my computer out the window. you are actually joking right? First off, this is a PoE pool. Second, I've been scumreading/voting Kagura pretty much all game and similarly for PV on D1. F16 has also been a constant scumread and its pretty hilarious to have just responded to his post telling me that my posting all games indicates the exact opposite of what you are saying here. What am I supposed to say? I cant please you cause you are conf-biasing on me and making these throwaway one liners about me instead of ever engaging me on my Nacho/Bork read or anything. IDGI. I really dont. Oh and I also am getting simultaneous accusations from you about being unmotivated and F16 for posting too fucking much.

In post 4373, AngryPidgeon wrote: What exactly are you considering? If RBD were town, would it notably affect your reads / where would you go? It just seems so odd to me to fish for that information. That is partly because it never occurred to me anyone would know (except scum obv). I strongly doubt Mac could have been killed from anything other than scum, so I suppose I agree that they make sense as a town kill. My kneejerk reaction to that was to wonder why you didn't ask inside your neighborhood since the highest concentration of people scumreading RBD seem to be in there (Yggdra, JSU iirc). Instead you ask everyone which I dont quite get the motivation for to assume you have been wrong about your reads all this time despite having a very large conviction to the contrary.

I thought it would help the town if everyone knows RBD's affiliation. Given the state of the town currently, that would be a baseline through which people can connect on reads. If they are scum like I think they are, it would help a lot of people like Breakfast reset and work with others better, specifically the neighborhood for instance. On the chance that they are town, I would have to reset my reads considerably. Mastin is the biggest reset I'd make. I also wonder if Nacho was scum whiteknighting Rancid for the cred. He's done it before. I don't think anyone in the neighborhood knew Rancid's affiliation. We talked about it as soon as they flipped as janitored and it was apparent we were all in the dark.

In post 4373, AngryPidgeon wrote:I mean, opportunism? I think Im actually literally the only person in the thread with a scumread on you and have been since RBD fell off a cliff last night. Opportunism suggests that I am getting some sort of easy scum advantage for hedging an opinion on you, which Id love to hear what that could be cause I've mostly gotten flak from the entire player base (Mastin, JSU, you, others?) for my read on you that I ultimately just sort of stopped caring at the start of D2.

I was the one who originally scumread your predecessor and said that nothing you did was overwhelmingly town. It is not unlikely that you decided someone already scumreading you isn't a bad target to push. I don't think pushing me is making you more likely to be lynched. Some people (like Breakfast) say that it could be town. The town are not united in any particular direction so pushing an unlikely lynch is not a bad idea since you can continue to push them the next day and so on and look busy. It really depends on the gamestate. If the person you are pushing has their hands full (like I did with Mastin), then even better.

I have a hard time seeing your push coming from town because my posts have been genuine and transparent enough that my thought processes and motivation is obvious. I don't believe that you as a player would be unable to see the big picture and instead continue scumreading me because I ignored your posts etc. I think you are more discerning than that.

In post 4373, AngryPidgeon wrote:Ok, I'll admit its not "impossible" for us to do this as scum/scum, but why do you think its likely the case? You spent all D1 talking about how mastin and I were just creating noise and saying we were both scum with RBD. Im most certainly biased on the issue given that Im town and townreading both of those players, but I just have an extremely hard time seeing why someone would find this -likely-. Mastin has a fairly extensive history of not bussing and is proud of it. Im more sporadic, but I would never bus a buddy so hard when they are actually salvageable and when me bussing them could be the tipping point in a lynch.

Because I had independent scumreads on both of you. The way you both were trying to get out of scumreading each other and get PV lynched felt like you were setting the stage as unlikely partners while setting PV up. I agree that Mastin doesn't bus. I don't think you were bussing with intent to lynch and I felt then that it was more likely you intended everyone to dismiss it as TvT noise and lynch a lurker. After that Mastin pretty much pushed hard on you and I started to wonder if it was genuine or if it was a response to being called out on bussing. I also find it hard to believe that you staunchly believe in Mastin being town even after he pushed you and scumread you for it. You are writing him off as bad town consistently no matter how hard and prolonged the push has been today.

RBD got upset because they asked you for pages to explain your scumreads and they kept getting upset that you WERENT and I agree with their take on that. So I really would not hold that you are transparent and I mean I guess I can see you thinking you are since everyone should be transparent to themself >.>.

Wow, I really am going to just heave this computer right out the window. Why should I scumread mastin just because she is pushing me? That is what you are actually admitting to doing on me I suppose, but wow. Being wrong is not a scumtell and I really think mastin has been fairly transparent, I mean shes basically using the thread as her personal blog which is anti-town and obnoxious, but it makes her feel really genuine.

Ok lets try this then. What are you still hoping to accomplish today / what has been accomplished today? Your reads seem 100% unchanged from halfway through D1. Mastin is a revolving door. Ffery is still waffling but has downgraded Bork to somewhere still above the lynch line. Why no vote?

And its not even just now. This all started back on D1 over the DV meta that you explicitly brought up as a reason to townread them. I meantioned it and asked you to clarify and you kept stalling/waffling on it instead of actually justifying it. You finally did, but not before giving me the run around about your self-meta and various excuses for NOT doing it.

AP I wrote you a fucking novel about my nachobork read. :/

Random book-keeping note.

522+15 = 537 large themes
(Best of the internet = first to break 100. Chrono Trigger was second.)

Lost Boys mafia, 185 pages, one of the old giants.
War in Heaven II, 176 pages, another old legend. (Coincidentally also modded by Flay.)
Phables: Death Note, 177 pages, which I experienced. (Briefly.)
Kingdom Hearts Mafia, 175.

Note that the great rollback ruins game length records to some extent, but going off of what I can confirm...
Reckamonic's Ocarina of Time mafia, 203 pages. (First Large Theme to break 200.)
Good vs Evil, Law vs Chaos (reboot), 176 pages. (Which I also experienced.)
Stars Aligned III, 226 pages.
Mafia Behind the Maiden, 215 pages.
The game of the year, 179 pages.
A Dance with Dragons Mafia, 176 pages.

Politics Mafia, 209 pages. (Which I was technically in!)
Mafiastuck, 294 pages.
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Legacy, 202 pages. (Also in.)

League of Legends Mafia, 179.
Pinkmin Mafia (I also was in), 198 pages.
Xenoblade Mafia, 184 pages.
Lord Patator Charlixion the 6th, 188 pages.

The Walking Dead, 205 pages. (I was in that, too.)
Dr Who: Last Great Time War, 236 pages.
Xenogears Mafia, 235 pages. (Yep.)

Fire Emblem: Awakening, 368 pages. (Broke 300, and yes, I was in it. Partially, anyway.)
Marketplace Mafia III, 208 pages.
Mobile Suit Gundamn SEED Mafia, 288 pages. (Yeah, I was there.)

Touhou Mafia Land of Fantasy, 237 pages.

So 25 confirmed games at the length we're currently at, on D2.
We had 17 players (admittedly mostly hydras), most of these had much more than that.
Yet we're in the top 5% of theme games ever played, page-wise.

And we're still climbing. (And I'm also losing my lead post-wise to Tammy. That's not a bad thing, though.)

I havent really seen any indication of this either. At all. What.

Subtext. F-16's free to call me wrong, but that's what I saw.

It kind of felt that way this game though with your towntowntown reads on Bork/Titan/?Mac? and then just sort of coasting from there. But thats mostly irrelevant. I guess I am somewhat expecting Ffery from Xenosaga who actually scumread Flandre D1 and rolled with that pretty hard and Im not seeing it here. But thats just a niggle on my end that is irrelevant.

I never scumread them. I was concerned, yes. I thought it could indicate them being scum, yes. But I never was truly sure they were scum, LEAST of all for something like that, which was just the latest in my points of concern. Points of concern being exactly that, points, which are of a concern. The concern is MOSTLY gone, and a lot of the points addressed. So I suppose in a twisted way, the answer's yes. But that's not the focus on it now. It's still a 'point', because now it's a point for why they need to focus and get back into the game. (That, uh. Made more sense in my head?)

Also Id like to point out that you have admitted to blindly NKing zMuffin in another game despite him townreading your slot and are arguing that he was a scumkill here.

Yeah. My slot. SLOT. Not me. And Blind. As in, didn't even read the damn game to know he had a townread. But I feared him enough to not care. If I had read during the night, know what I'd have done? Killed him anyway, fully aware that whatever his read on me may have been? It was going to turn into a scumread.

And you scumread me in Anything Goes. "But AP I thought you were actually scum!!!"

Yes. Thus, was playing like town. If I'm scum and know you to be town, I need to SAY you are town. If I'm scum and , then I don't. You're proving my point, not dismantling it. It's as if I was playing multiball. In multiball, all the rules of my scumplay (well, all of them) get thrown out the window, as I am legitimately scumhunting. I was legitimately scumhunting you. If I was town, I probably would have ultimately backed down rather than gladiate you, re-evaluating. As scum, knowing who else was scum, I somehow thought you had to be scum, somehow, so didn't.

You're basically trying to set up that no-win scenario; you want there to be in a scenario where you're right no matter what, and can push that angle no matter what. I forget the name of what it's called (it's an old thing on the wiki--Loaded Question?), but the principle is just as sound now as it was then. It is not a town player trying to reason with another; it is a scum player trying to dismantle an argument.

I've generally liked Orci this game and I thought the way he handled the Day 1 lynch was pretty townish. The person he chose to enter the cagefight was Ffery, someone who typically townreads first and doesn't look for blood right away. It's the perfect person to throw in there if you're looking for a lurker lynch or no lynch, especially if your goal is to sort people.

Notty's issue is the lack of reads/trajectories Day 1, as well as the people he chose to go into the cagefight. While I can see an issue with the former, the latter isn't something I agree with.

Regarding Mastin, I've been skimming it, but I've gotten some small townvibes from it and will have to look at it again later. Both Notty and I are actively avoiding doing any heavy analysis of Mastin and I think we're waiting for the other to cave in first. Chances are I'll end up being the one to take a good look at him.

My scumread on RBD was influenced by having a miller role and knowing that they claimed our role which was part of the reason I didn't have that much of an explanation for why I was scumreading them. I also thought their play was scummy but it is a matter of opinion. It seemed like their play was geared more towards creating apathy than genuinely trying to figure out the game.

For me to buy that this is coming from mastin-town, I would have to buy that mastin, constantly and reanalyzing and reading posts and apparently playing at the top of his towngame goes from unshakeable town to scum on me when I imply he might possibly be scum (even though it was mentioned that I was considering him as scum earlier in the game but he somehow missed it) because he believes there is either a town!Nacho that reads him right or a scum!Nacho that reads him wrong, and his thinking wrt that is completely binary.

I don't think Mastin-town reads me in a way that 1) isn't exactly correct (I haven't a great track record reading him as of late, for one), and 2) is so simplistic and has so much scumvantage in it. Mastin knows me well as a player, and one of the greatest flaws in my towngame is when I'm feeling too much pressure to read a townie as town: I'm less liable to push them as scum even if I'm getting strange feels from the slot because I don't want to be wrong. He's trying to back me into that corner as we speak: he talks about how town-Nacho would try to work with him and figure out his alignment as opposed to put him closer to death as his head's on the chopping block and votes me because supposedly that isn't happening, but my vote isn't on him. His vote is on me. I'm still engaging him. He's going on rants about dreams he had last night.

Because the very damn things you're saying aren't there are THE VERY FUCKING THINGS THAT THE REST OF THE TOWN HAS NOTED AS BEING PRESENT AND SCUMREAD ME FOR.

I suppose all of this posting is not trying to figure you out.
I suppose all of this posting with me still not voting you and still not grinding your lynch into the ground is me not talking to you.
And I suppose making all of my posts about you and my scumread on you is hoping nobody calls me out for my read on you, hoping somehow that no one notices and no one cares.
You can keep repeating "Nacho isn't trying to figure me out, Nacho isn't trying to figure me out", but saying that in the face of ME FIGURING YOU OUT is obviously going to fall flat.

And to accusations of hiding?

But I'm going to make DAMN sure.
DAMN FUCKING SURE.

That you don't get away with it.

(if you were town and felt you were obvious town, you wouldn't feel this way. you would feel like you had just found scum-Nacho running out from his comfortable safety net from an obvtown position, and you would make it your singular goal to take me down and make yourself obvious town in everyone's eyes as a result.)

nacho nacho nacho
can't you see
sometimes your words just hypnotize me

Uh I suppose so. You looked like you were already scumreading mastin and then she dropped that bomb about you being scum for not townreading her and you were quick to call that scum motivated.

Yes? Mastin has been pretty egotistical this game. I think half the reason shes scumreading me is because she cant admit to herself that Im being 100% honest about finding her play atrocious (and here Rg is supposed to be the atrocious pokemon) so shes just somehow convinced herself I must be scum in order to feel better about herself. I really do think that is a thing that is happening. Mastin will deny it, but thats part of the whole denial approach she seems to be stuck in this game.

p-edit:

I barely slept last night. I blame people on Skype.

I'm entering my delirious stage.

You didn't plan to enter a 1v1 fight against me.
You were hoping to fake a paranoid attack on me, and you thought you could get away with it because you thought I would be lazy, you thought I was getting a little paranoid with the unshakeable townread where others had doubts, and you thought all you had to do in order to shake that paranoia was fake some yourself.
You were wrong. But you're in too deep to save yourself now, so now all you have to do is act like you wouldn't commit suicide like you're supposedly doing now and hope everyone somehow forgets that scum-Mastin on the ropes will do anything to save herself, just like scum Nacho would.

Has there ever been a game where mastin, as engaged town, has really been so lost in herself while simultaneously attempting to keep everyone else's egos in check? I have trouble imagining her not making ego checks every once in a while when she says things like what she said to BRO earlier.

His vote is on me. I'm still engaging him. He's going on rants about dreams he had last night.

Is that scummy though? Ranting about peripheral nonsense in the thread isn't exactly a scumtell and I really really -can- see Mastin thinking this way as town. I'll give you that yes it CAN be scum motivated, but I dont think there is any reason to assume that is the case or the only case. What recent things make you think this is just blatant bulllshit from mastin?

In post 4391, Nachomamma8 wrote:Do you really think that I'm going to buy that you posting a bunch is a towntell when we pretty much destroyed effort =/= town together a very very long time ago?

Meh, can't really argue this. I think mastin is imploding.

Huh. This really did come right on cue after a few people started posting doubt about their Kagura reads. IDK.

Nacho, why did you roleblock me last night?
