1. Confirm you left out a part of the claim
2. Do not claim this part before we (Taylor and I) decide to claim it

Yes and yes

In 133 Taly says he made deliberately unnatural/scummy posts but then acts like I need to explain why the posts he says he crafted to be scummy are scummy

this is not how town plays

"Scummy" was never used as a term, don't twist it that way.

I wanted to see how people would react, so I make statements that aren't committal to see how people interpret them.

, I'm not ignoring you, 147 felt waaay too rolefishy for me to respond, so if you'd like to engage with me on my

"awkwardness"

or another player, that may lead to a better resolution of your read on both slots in this post.

Saying I didn't like the way they presented their role is not "rolefishy" and this seems like a pretty scummy overreach to me

I wasn't saying our claim was rolefishy, I'm saying your first post interacting with it was to say that the presentation was scummy 147, so I had no clue if you were doubtcasting the claim itself, or how I should communicate the claim more to you transparently that didn't give additional information . So, I focused on another reason you scumread me in 232, and tried to see where your head was at with other reads in the game.

~Titus and Taly

switching to Samantha here because why?

had pings with posts, so I leaned in on that for the vote whenever chalked the post up to a joke 279 because I figured her intention of the wagon might not have been to get to spew because her scumread on him was based around a lack of content. Since she dismissed and never really followed up on him, I thought it possible that her wagon is scum-led. I thought she'd be more present in this thread to resolve her reads by now, and interaction with .

So, I let type the vote, just as I told her that I'd be fine voting in the PT.

I thought it was a better exercise of time since I had no clue when you'd be in the thread willing to speak to me, but it's more like you're speaking to others about me anyway, and so this post serves to give me POV.

OK, humor me. I dare you to make as many statements and ask as many questions as I am about to.

I think the universal townread on

Gypyx

is likely accurate but I'm confident scum also see the slot as a potential pocket... coming from someone who is often universally townread, too.

Actually, I'm weary of veiling most of my townreads right now because I don't want to come too quickly to a conclusion on any one slot, or scum to know where my POV lies within this game on D1.

How experienced would you say you are with

Titus

and I as players in mafia?

It irks me that

HUB

has the same reads in 87 as he does in 289 despite his presence.

I thought

Sam

would respond more to the counterwagon on her when the one she placed on

BEF

fell apart, I'm leaning on

Titus'

gut with this slot.

What is your angle of solving or read on

Ydrasse/TGP/ET

?

People I want to communicate more with are

Gamma/Bell/Ari

.

I think this is a fun and useful exercise, do you?

~Taly

1. I think a lot of what's going on in this post is pretty scummy, the weird paranoia around GX reads is scummy

2. making excuses for lack of townreads is scummy

3. complaining about me having "the same reads" after basically nothing has happened is really scummy, rest of the post doesn't strike me as townie either

What's scummy about the with the reads and how I presented that mentality? UTRs can be scum pockets, and so I wanted to voice that sentiment. I didn't go any further because I wanted to see how townreaders responded.

Again, you misrep me. I have multiple townreads, I'm just not apt to give all of them because I don't want a potentially strong towncore to takes hits by N1 and dissolve when it could be game breaking later in a large.

A lot of things in the thread has happened, but you're only speaking about half the plist in terms of reads. Either you're handpicking a certain chunk of the large to sort first (which makes sense), or your original readspost was a positioning tool to stick with the same players.

Maybe the third point is a playstyle difference on how I interpret your slot, but the reason I wanted a back-and-forth with was because I townread and didn't feel so strongly, and I wanted to see thought process on the game a little more so I can either encourage or dispel the confidence I had in a read with them.

, you claimed N1 lightning rod in your first post. Do you stand by that claim?

~Taly

idk this just seems random for day 1, why is Taly posting so much scum meta? this comes out of nowhere and feels like overcompensating

This is my top scumread by far

Because, said he never saw scum-me, and I linked all my scum games so he can evaluate them.

In post 303, Happy Birthday Boonskiies wrote:So, very experienced with you both, but more experienced with Titus. I've never seen you roll scum actually.

One mechanism I used to read people is based on how they solve me when I introduce meta opportunities to them, game links. So the purpose behind showing my scumgames to people was to help see how the plist interacts with me when I give a clear opportunity to meta me. How they approach me, and what they conclude and in what context.

If I explain further, and say how I use this to help deduce alignment, it ruins the fact that I gave meta in the first place.

Just FYI. I was not. My second claim however was true.
Pedit: between Taylor and shelly.

What did you expect from the vote? Also in respect to my opener and vote about it.

This is the second or third game I've ever been with ever and it was in larges where she was absent for much of the thread.

I genuinely have no clue on how to read this slot.

Hey so, why is samantha getting wagonned exactly? It seems mostly like low-explaination votes compared to the rest of this game

This is likely town. Don't think a scum hydra fakes a townlean for their partner, and then has the partner come in straight after and correct it. It's probably miscommunication while discussing reads in private, implying town.

Ydrasse trying to get Pelican/Endless/HBB to box is pretty sus, like she's trying to set up a 1v1v1. Why can't we backflip for third place instead, Ydrasse?

It's interesting how you null me so often, HUB. You don't think any of my content is readable?

This feels like a rehash from earlier, and I don't think my regurgitation 10 pages is helpful. I want to take a step outside of claims and the wagons involving you.

I not trying to be dodgy. I am attempting to articulate my read on you. Applying MS nomenclature I would say you are Null-Leaning-Town.

I am giving you the benefit of the doubt as I don't want the OMGUS from earlier to influence.

But if I had to make a definitive decision on your slot right now.

With gun-to-head, I'd say you are Town.

Coming back to the wagons, here.

What makes push on you likelier to come from town and not - who you are currently voting? Or rather, what makes push less town-indicative based on what you've seen.

If Ydrasse is trying to get us and ET to box, she's not going to have any luck. Despite me not trusting shelly head, I have zero interest in eliminating there today. Pretty sure Taly feels the same.

The pushback on the samantha wagon but not the BEF wagon is noted. I want to specifically watch Ircher because his defense of Sam seems scummier than the wtf my pointless wagon isn't winning day one ala Gypyx.

Pelican is the slot I think has above rand slot being scum off what they're saying
[TGP, Nico, Ari] probably has two fadebait and one low effort scum, but who knows it could have 2 scums

Imo Pelican is probably towny for the way they claimed at least, as for the other three I do think Ari should be posting more, TGP idk why he's profiled as low contribution, at least in the same tier as those other 2. He hasn't posted much but imo he has contributed.

Like I really feel like the cagey way they claimed neg-utility is a very towny way to do it, especially if I'm right about something else, something that will probably not be clarifiable until D3.

In post 448, Happy Unbirthday Boon wrote:Gamma point is scummy -- "scummy but different from one game" is a low information point that sets up lazy shade/distancing

this is like the only thing that resonates with me rn
I just had not one but TWO games where town!Titus caught scum!me pretty effectively, and now she's coming in here saying I sound scummy in a way than our last game together. That in itself just doesn't entirely make sense to push, but with the next thing I'm mentioning it becomes disturbingly suspect. From my experience with Titus I feel like she should know I generally have a lhf style that tends to land me in hot water as town. The fact she has the experience with me in the broad sense to know me feeling vaguely scummy isn't really a sign I'm scum, and also the recent scum experience she claims I'm , but despite that still wants to pressure me, definitely gives the sense she wants to push me for questionable logic and get away with it by not defining her push in a meaningful way.

@Gamma, to say I caught you last game is pretty wrong. Sure, my vote was on you. Yet, I had to agree with mastina and Nero. They're the ones who caught you.

Also, why are you expecting me to use meta as a baseline on you?

I'm trying to sort out why I feel the way I do on you. The truth is I don't know.

idc who caught me, you correctly voted me out there. And I'm expecting you to use meta because I would think you'd know that "Gamma looks scummy" isn't good reasoning when one is aware of how I generally come across, and it's even worse when you are saying my play is different to a scumgame I just played but still opt to push it. I'd expect a player of your caliber to know better than to push me for what you've expressed so far. You are essentially suspect for BoP reasons here. If you want to change my mind, you need to show your "read" on me isn't paper-thin.
