In post 549, Kanna wrote:My takeaway was actually that you feel a lot more agenda-y as scum (focusing on pushes, scumreads, tunnels) and you feel less agendy as town (so, not that). The townreads was just a bonus even though it was true as well

Actually I think my main weakness as scum is a lack of agenda/plan
I have never had a scumgame where the pushes/mislynches were planned out that I can remember. Even if it feels agenda-y, I don't know where that comes from.

I think the thing I'm actually looking for is just *deathtunnels* and what i mean by agenda-y refers to the same thing (pushing a mislynch) but ok, will look through that tomorrow.

you want to see if i've ever deathtunnelled as town?

are you sure?

Also one last thing because this always gets brushed over

In post 335, Kanna wrote:I didn't say scum!you never has townreads, you townblocked me and probably some other people in strawberry, right? I mean you *focus on* on scumreads/pushes which I feel like you're doing with DrP now. It's like the ame/luca tunnel.

but sure, i'm open to seeing it

in that case, your entire meta argument is literally only

'scum!ico has agenda, town!ico doesn't'

lol

In post 543, Iconeum wrote:@Drew, there's also the part where Aldus builds on the meta argument from Kanna, and that similar to a previous scumgame of mine, my reads this game have been inconsistent in a similar fashion to that scumgame. Datisi has fought against this argument

In post 548, Iconeum wrote:@drew, I suggest you read the second half of Aldus ISO. It's not that much. See how and why he votes/pushes me.

The meta I'm not worried about. The adoption by Aldus of Kanna's argument is of concern. 345, 351, 366 are a weird falling in line with Kanna. If an Icon lynch went ahead, then Aldus could bus Kanna for leading the argument for the lynch and absolve himself of responsibility.

410 is misrep, as it wasn't Aldo scum reading, it was Aldo following Kanna's read after you pressed them. 414 is then a cop out: 'Oh no! I wasn't actually voting Ico, I was just being a muppet!' Which is covering himself and cutting himself off from calling Ico into suspicion. Then backs onto Ico being scum in 416 again, buddies Oka and suggests I'm PR fishing (which is casting shade) on my post - which completely misreps what I said.

Ok, I'm content that Aldo has more to answer for and is giving tells.

do you think drpepper is a viable partner for either of them then or...?

~

i'm also not sure what to make of kanna's meta use because (1) i believe the "scum!kanna has never used meta so it is townie" is a very weak argument (2) one of the dangers of second-hand meta is that you can easily get confbiased

i might go reread day 1 of autumnal mafia to see if i'm forgetting some stuff (because i've been trying to forget day 1 of autumnal tbh) to see how ico compares but i might also not do that who knows, maybe i'll reread some of his town games

that is also L-1 pretty sure

icon is voting aldus right now tho? do you think kanna is town?

okay quantum u cant be me

imma need a readslist from you at least

also this ico meta discussion is kinda stupid

if ico has this much awareness of his own meta, he's not going to fall in these obvious markers as scum so unless you have something super secretive about his meta its not that helpful lol

Then Icon said "if I get lynched here lynch kanna next" (page 15) which implies Kanna is scummier than me. This is also seen in the reads list later on that page where Kanna is "prob scum" but I'm just "could be scum." Icon then goes on to vote me and says 1 of me and Kanna is scum but probably not both. So why did Icon feel confident enough to say "if I get lynched here lynch kanna next"? That could potentially lead to two town lynches in a row from town-Icon's perspective. If Icon really thinks that one of Kanna and I are scum, then it should be trying to sort which one is the scum, which I don't think is happening. I also don't think it made sense to call Kanna scummier but then switch votes to me -- maybe scum Icon saw me as the easier target?

i think this entire paragraph can be cut down to:

ico voted aldus despite having a slightly larger or more expressed scumread in kanna therefore this is ico!scum

which is identical to:

In post 376, DoctorPepper wrote:You think I'm scummier than Also but you remove me from L-1 to vote him?Whut?

Aside from being an oversimplification, you're omitting the fact that your level of confidence was unjustified when from a town perspective you should have more to investigate to avoid mislynches.

also i missed this but

it means that i think there are two worlds that make equal sense

one where its you/kanna and you are tag teaming ico and well, ico probably wont win the tag team with outside assistance

or its you using kanna to create a false 1v1 to incriminate both

something like that, tinfoil hats are fun

I see where you're coming from, but if that were my plan then I'm doing a very bad job of it. If Kanna and I are scum together then why do we need to tag-team Icon when we could have just maintain the status quo and hope the game moves toward a DP or QQ lynch? Alternatively, if I'm scum and Icon v Kanna is TvT, then why do I poke my head in and attract attention when a 1v1 between them would probably have developed naturally?

In post 430, Euphony wrote:Don't like 349 as a way to justify his L-1 - part of the reason the game was slow was because Aldu was pretty inactive. I agree with Datisi regarding the consistency thing on Ico. Spotting that Drew-Sta thing in 416 pretty towny though.

Why is 364towny, Aldu?

Happy with DoctarPepper/Alduskkel wagons I think.

----> Hectic

To the first part -- it's kind of a positive feedback cycle. The game is slow which means I have less to say because I'm having trouble reading people, and the game is slower because I'm not saying much. I wanted to try to break out of that cycle.

Why is 364 townie? It's hard to explain, but I don't see scum going, "ugh, what you did was townie but I don't like it." Especially when it's about AtE where it's easy to say you scumread someone for it. To me it read as town-Oka saying, "that was bad behavior but my town win condition means I'm forced to acknowledge that you're more likely to be town because of it."

The fact you keep citing Ico as scum without forming a really good argument is curious. And no, the above is not a good argument. It's basically OMGUS reasoning. Which is a poor foundation to work with. If you think Icon is scum, form an argument on why utilising posts and the like.

I don't know what you mean about post 410.
For context for post 414, I didn't have a strong read on Icon at the time I placed the vote, though it was still a scumread. I'm not "backing onto Ico being scum" -- I'm saying my scumread has grown stronger since I placed the vote.
Saying I townread Oka isn't buddying.
