I'll buy the bugspray claim, seems like osuka is our best option - he will give us good information at the very least

Has to be a large for any kind of SK.

Figured it would help you guys develop decent reads. Also saves me a lot of trouble.

maybe when i look closely at bugspray i'll see something stronger than that weaksauce but so far it's just a void why is it just a void
There are great reasons to policy elim - or weight negatively - poor yet NAI play.
If a player is lurking, lazy, and just not helpful to town, it can be a good idea to get rid of them earlier in the game so that they don't cause distractions and waste time and energy later on during the game.
Another separate discussion is punishing players for bad play - if poor play isn't viewed as elimable your site gets more and more poor play in its games, overall reducing town EV and the quality of games.
There are exceptions to the rule and obviously you don't want to eliminate town if possible, but to say that poor play is NAI and should thus not be weighted in an evaluation of whether to elim is just incorrect. To say that a site is worse for holding people to a higher standard of play is also not a great opinion.
We should be trying to lynch scum, not town whose playstyles we don't like. Period.

Obviously, did I say we should try to elim town in my post? I said there's good reason to weight anti-town behavior or policy elim it

Eliminating people for reasons besides being scummy is more or less the same thing

People's reactions to bugspray's claim doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Being a ninja roleblocker doesn't exactly clear you, even if you crumb it. How did the claim affect your actual reads?

that's an oddly specific claim to make. i do buy ninja roleblocker but i see more scum rb slots than i do see town rbs

then again, ive definitely seen worse and more weirdly specific claims be made in recent times (miller mason???)

i also think that a town roleblocker is a fucking weird role to add in a game that has two ICs

Not at all true it's definitely more nuanced

I want to see how bugspray would react to not being at hammer phase.
He just followed my vote along which seems scummy

The crumb and as osuka said odd specificity helped, obviously it's not a 100% clear but I'm not really too keen on elimming a claimed PR D1 without exploring any other options.
