You moved your vote onto someone that you felt wasn't playing the game, and happens to be the highest wagon available.
Yes, I moved my vote to Mom as a way to get her to engage with me. Unfortunately she was not around. When she finally responded, it was so bleh I focused elsewhere. I still have no idea if she might be scum or town.

That it is going slow is exactly why I'm struggling to pay attention.

Maybe I should restart reading the game. It feels so preliminary still tho
Do you have a better method of making something out of nothing than shifting around votes?
What do you mean by making something out of nothing? We have 15+ pages of conversation! If that's still nothing then like, we're all very bad at this game.
I've Iso'd the 3 slots I've seen the most suspicion about thus far.
Momrangal is a eeird wagkn. I have no idesla why she was deemed suspicious for the overreaction to mastina and mollie's death. There's no content and not much to parse. Null slot.
Rad Rat seems pretty towny. I think the way they post is townleaning and the linenof questioning as well as the adjustments as nee info comes to light are good at this stage in the game. They're pushing things along. Good stuff!
Dragon of the West seems scummy to me. Ither than the latest posts about unwnd everything has either been fluff or mechanical talk. That's an easy way for scum to float along, in a slow game especially. Id3like to see so.e pressure here today.
VOTE: DotW
I probably could've stated it clearer, but I think you understood.
I follow your reasoning on rat.
Also I don't like the "why me" response from DotW to your post. VOTE: Dragon of the West

Scumlean on Titus; nothing in her iso catches my eye (which is abnormal even for this early) besides #366.
I agree it's unusual for Titus to not have much right now, but she was also V/LA and has been sick. I'm willing to give her another day before I start scum reading her.
Whoops. I don't really process V/LA's on this site because they often don't actually affect activity much.

I agree that Skybird's scumread on dwlee is weird, but I don't see anything scum-indicative about it. Overall her activity/presence is strong and I townlean their more aggressive/direct approach.
Where the fuck do you work Ari???? They’d better be paying you handsomely!

Haha yeah, I get this a lot. I left the Speakeasy where most of this is posted but basically I'm just short on workforce atm. Working on a solution actively!
And I do alright, don't worry
Just doesn't leave much time for fun.

We should probably make tracks to going through with an elimination soon

We should!
I'm pretty okay eliminating anyone but Dwlee and Gamma.
Dwlee because we're using them to eat the hammers, and Gamma's pretty obviously Town for me right now.
Everyone else I could go either way on, but I'd prefer either Skybird or A50.

I would be fine hammering skybird/rr but I actually would still like a kop elimination here.

OK, I can understand that. I've kinda liked the slow start because I'm pretty busy IRL right now, though not as busy as Ari. I only have to work 5 days a week.
We do need Dwlee in the game to make the hammers and not allow scum to get the easy excuse for bad investigatives.
You said "is" (singular) followed by "the" (definitive), so it's not a hypothetical interpretation. It's a literal translation if you will.
If you had said "Who is Scum?" (dropping the "the") it implies a "wild card" so "numerous names" can be used.
If you had said "Who ARE the Scum?" you would have been asking about a group by definition.
But "Who
is the
.." certainly implies a single person.
Now, why do you think I'd know who is Scum already? (aside from us sharing a PT, that is)

But adding "the" sounds funny but I didn't want to commit to "the scums"
Anyway, you don't have any reads? Really?

Where did you get that I have no reads? You asked me who the SCUM are, and I said I don't know. You didn't ask about my TOWN reads, of which I have many.
By play unwnd & Skybird are strong TRs to me.
Gamma is a strong enough but as strong as the two forementioned.
Meg is a Town Lean, and so are you (but only due to your claim if I'm being candid). I also have NDmath in this category but I forgot why that is.
I am still not cpmfprtable with either of Mon or Kop slots, but my push on them has been rebuked and I kind of felt disappointed as that stopped the game from progressing OMHO. They didn't need to actually get eliminated, but I thought some genuine real pressure on either could have given the game a good push forward. Now I'm just watching things develpp naturally and waiting for the day to end so I can start connecting dots.
Anything else you wnna ask? Fell free to shoot .. just as long as you try your best to make it specific, if you please.

Okay so who is your best guess at scum? Still mom or kop? I guess I'm just looking for some names to springboard talking about

Yeah, I would prefer one of the two, but anyone not mentioned above will do at this point
