You keep minimizing the case against you as just being about being a lurker. I don't think that's remotely close to the bulk of the case for most people voting.
I mean a lot of it has to do with people disliking titus posts
which i cant really do anything about b/c they werent written by me

as for people scumreading my slot -- a lot of people have mentioned it as omg "mala is lurking" "mala is disinterested = scum-mala"
You're right, it wasn't written by you.

Thing is, What Titus says contradicts you. They say that you were the one pushing this and they were following your read. I pointed this out in post .

Here it is again:

Because in Titus seems to have a townread on catboi. In is the weird switch in perspective, both posts coming from Titus.

Then in Titus passes it off as Mala being the one who scumread catboi, and pointed to "the number of counters expressed". Except that all seems to have been from Titus herself, not from Mala. I also think that this post forgets that they already did the work in

You showed up late. You need to look at that bnuuy wagon.
I will but I feel that it's another counter to catboi. That makes me think town before reading.

However, I am open to being wrong. It's also getting to the point where there are so many counters that catboi may need to be eliminated as catboi couldn't live until elo.

This is a good post! It also looks to me like Nashville Dreams weren't able to maintain internal consistency and forgot who they were supposed to be sussing by confusing Monkeyman with catboi.

I'll keep reading, but based on the most recent VC and scrolling through the last few pages, it doesn't look like the wagon on them developed much further, which is kind of odd, because I feel like this is more solid that anything else that's happened so far this game.
Also:

I thought so too for a bit. But Catboi ended up pushing Nashville there without really putting pressure on TicTac.

And Norwegian-Catboi were pushing each other lightly, but then they ended up sheeping each other.


And Ydrasse replaces into this game and throws a town read on Catboi.

Ydrasse-Catboi-Mastina has been on my mind, and maybe it's not TicTac, but I did see some merit it TicTac scum with their jump off of Catboi., but it could just be townie tictac not doing anything.

the Catboi wagon dissipated completely and got down to 1 vote now that your slot replaced out.

It never got bigger than 6 votes.

There is no doubt in my mind that Nero is town here. Yes, my WallFlower read helps a lot, but I feel even Nero would say I'm pretty solid with reading them. Their entrance into this game and the pushes they've made make sense why he would think some of them, and I agree with Titus, it does make sense.

One of Nero's first posts was calling out Mastina, which I obviously have been agreeing with for a while.


Mastina-Catboi is not Town/Town, and their reads on each other are completely political positioning.

And then Catboi came in trying to use my exact reasoning on WallFlower/Flavor, and yes, they brought up that I would say this, but I think that was preemptive defense.

Mala agrees with the mastina callout. I don't necessarily trust the claim but I don't feel comfortable stating what I think mastina is doing.

this is a complete misrep by Catboi.

WallFlower and I were absolutely not going in a "just trust me" mentality.

We had our own individual reasonings for pushing Catboi, and WallFlower was actively off of Catboi for a long time before returning back to them.

I want to emphasize this: the FL/Wallflower dynamic is super not pure. The way it's going, they have locktowned each other over very little and wallflower is now playing the full-time role of acting as FL's #1 fan, backing up everything he says. It's not the same as a town/town dynamic because there's usually some mistrust or disagreement there, and instead it's blind mutual reinforcement. I don't think they're ever the same faction because scumbuddies just don't act this way toward one another but they're not both town. In Control, I noticed a dynamic between mastina and norwee (one was mafia, the other was SK, they both thought they were pocketing the other) but I couldn't find the will to fight it enough to flip them, and they both endgamed. This feels very similar to that in how they're talking about one another.

YD is basically a 3rd party this game. I mean maybe you could make the argument that YD fakeclaimed malefactor as mafia to get out of the days elimination but im going to go with YD was true claiming and that the rest of the mafia is is some combination the ppl outside of me and YD.

If Butterchurn and catboi keep pushing ND as scum it makes it look like a scum trio.

Butterchurn, similar to Menalque, Catboi made a comment like this towards you early, and while you understand and liked what I was saying, you were hesitant to go on Catboi because they made you feel good about them. they helped you trust them.
Interesting. If that's true, I think it probably did work. I've been townreading catboi for most of the game so far. I guess what makes me less sure on that point, though, is how he didn't really direct much towards me. It was a stated townread directed at the thread in general, and he hasn't seemed to go out of his way to interact with me since then. Asking for thoughts on things from a townread, making them feel like they matter and are important to the game, trying to solve together, buddying up to someone -- those are the type of things that I think of when I think of someone trying to pocket someone else. I don't feel like there has been a lot of that.

If Butterchurn is scum, they are 100% scum with Catboi, and thus we should go Catboi first.

I don't believe they are scum if they aren't scum with Catboi specifically.
