I feel like there's been an implicit goon assumption in your stances.

And Ivy's interactions with me DO feel rehearsed?

If blocker, then ivy.

If not, then the options are much broader. I haven't considered sau pairings, and bell's limited activity (along with noncommittal posting) doesn't help.

Ivy/me is your solve, so something about our interactions must look team to you. So, I want to know how my interactions differ in your mind.


Posts that are making me question my Luke-scum read are apparently making you think he could be scum. I want to understand that.

I can see luke openwolfing if it's a goon pair game. Brave play, but possible.

As I said (or complained) earlier, there just has to be a conspiracy for everything.

I still don't find it likely luke is scum, but he's no longer locktown for me.

There's a missing piece of the puzzle if you're trying to figure out my reads. My Demainer townread has degraded and I'm considering him as scum.

Reading through Lukewarm's ISO, every stance and stance change is well telegraphed, and well thought out. And that alone actually pings on a non-surface level. Lukewarm is playing a cautious game. And that may be a personality thing but maybe not.

It reminds me a little of my first mafia game at MS. I drew scum in my first newbie. I had about 4 years of experience playing on other sites with much shorter game days, and I decided to play the game like I was a semi-experienced player who knew the lingo but had sort of naive ideas about scumhunting. My theories were solid (though not very imaginative) and my trajectories were flawlessly telegraphed. And the one big ping anyone mentioned the whole game was about a post I would have made as town without hesitation to deflect attention from an obvious PR. Anyway. That was a strategy I could only use once at MS and it worked great for that one game.

I don't usually look for "too perfect to be real" play in newbie games, but my other reads kind of force this issue.

The other possibility I entertained last night is that Demainer came into day 2 thinking that with 2 town deaths the scum team was somewhat exposed and mega-distancing was called for. This would explain how passive Ivy has been, maybe, if she's being bussed.

So, my theories are: {Demainer, Ivy}, {Demainer, Lukewarm} which leads to me voting Demainer today.

Barring PR data suggesting otherwise, I think Demainer has to be the elim tomorrow if y'all go elsewhere today.
There just has to be a conspiracy for everything.

I'm staying on ivy. ff pushing me and ivy w/w and luke as deepwolf reeks of desperation. It's literally the only way to justify not having ivy as the elim.

My guess is the scum team has a blocker and they can't risk having someone on the team die tonight. Not before they take out clasko.

And you've been sledging me for the last 12 fucking hours, claiming i'm conspiracy theorizing, changing my stances, etc.

There's a difference between reconsidering whether someone is scum, and outright claiming someone is a dw in a post that is markedly different from those before, and which clearly carries an agenda instead of genuinely sharing thoughts on things.

Not only did you stuff the luke = dw thing in your post, you also forced the dem/ivy "exposed" bus which makes almost no sense, then you wrapped it all up with "dem has to be w/w with ivy/luke, so I'm voting him".

The only way that forms a coherent train of thought is if you've already arrived at the ending argument, and you're designing the rest of the post from that.

Your first post of day 2? Yes, I do, though I think inexperienced scum would be reluctant to bus like that. It's a strange thing about scum vs town votes. Scum tend to worry about what it will look like if they change their minds. Town just takes in the data, and if the data points them in a different direction, they change direction. I used to describe the difference as being hedgy vs being waffly.

Your vote isn't hedgy, and that's an argument against my solve.

Other then me, there was only one person voting against Demainer, and that person was getting ready to leave the game. If I were partnered with Demainer, why would have I have put so much effort in to building a case against him (Posts and if he were my partner? I mean I did a full iso of him, and pointed out
many, many
posts against him. Why would I have bussed him there?

I cannot come up with a reason, therefore I cannot understand your conclusion that me+demainer is the most likely scum pair in your PoV. It makes no sense to me from a town PoV.

But from a scum PoV, you could be trying to get Demainer voted out. He flips scum. You get to say "see I was right" and try to steer the conversation again tomorrow. Or alternatively, you fail to push out Demainer, and YOU get voted out. That leaves Demainer able to claim "see the scum tried really hard to push me out yesterday"

I cannot find a logical way for a town to make the conclusion that you made. I can come up with a logical explanation why a scum would push this particular pair. Therefore, I am left to conclude that you are scum.

Going through your iso, that post makes very little sense if I just stopped there, and didn't read your subsequent lampshade posts.

What does it mean to be "openwolfing"?

At this point, I am really most interested in getting Egix and Clasko's opinions. So hopefully they check in soon lol

I don't care nearly as much about your read of me as I do about reading you correctly.

Part of my problem here is that there's been practically no interaction with other players, aside from Demainer. I mostly form reads via interaction.

Consider my scumread in this light: I'm impressed with your play, and you're basically the only player (aside from maybe egix) that I think could play to this level and yet be scum. It's certainly an uphill battle to push you and if I were scum, my flip would spew you insanely town.

Sorry. What have you been doing all day? I feel like you've taken exception to every single post I've made, regardless of whether my read of you was moving townward or scumward. And those questions: why aren't I scum with Ivy, especially asking for meta reasons for it. I have about 10 very recent games on site that are here for you to peruse if you are actually interested in my meta.

But there's not time for that kind of meta-dig and I'm not particularly fretting about survival here. Surviving, especially as a problematic slot, which YOU HAVE BEEN PUSHING ALL DAY, isn't necessarily pro-town-wincon.
