- you have asked a lot of questions - do you have any conclusions? or just reads.
My strongest scum reads are Osuka and ArcAngel9. I'm still waiting for ArcAngel9 to come back and explain 235. I definitely need to see more from her.
I am suspicious of Edos (because I thought A50's reasons had some merit), ETL (who explained his metoo post, but I'd like to see more), Lovebird (who jumped on the Edos bandwagon, but claimed it wasn't a sheep and claimed she had her own reasons, but didn't bother to tell us what they were).
I hardly said anything in the game? How am I your strongest scum read? looks like a convenient read.

Did you miss my posts (above and 242) asking you to explain 235?
Did you consider that perhaps hardly saying anything at all contributed to my scum reading you.
In post 434, Ausuka wrote:i gave reasoning for why i believed there was a traitor and it would've made sense if almost was it. iirc people agreed with me at the time. sure it could potentially be seen as a traitor signal but there's also blatant town reasoning for doing that i've already mentioned which is being totally ignored in favour of a scum narrative
didn't you scumread those people for agreeing with you?
you don't believe your theory is plausible anymore?
no?
and I think it's possible but that doesn't mean I'm going to lynch on that possibility.
must have misremembered it, nevermind.
still don't like how much focus you had on things that had very little to do with interacting with people.
generally speaking, town have more scum reads on d1 and scum have a hard time not seeing things that make townies town, so they point them out or inadvertently townread more people than they "should". it's not a hard and fast tell since some people are just more gullible in nature but it's a good place to start and consider if the second bit fits the person or not.

and because some scum will try to protect buddies by throwing a town read at them though that's not as common as it used to be. bussing is very popular these days. but all in all that adds more townreads than would necessarily exist if they were town. also town are naturally looking for reasons to scumread people because they have an objective. scum need to manipulate town away from their buddies. town will naturally have more scumreads in the beginning

as far as "what is too many", i guess that's subjective. more than i feel he should.
Howdy doodey friends! There a couple of people I haven’t played with here yet, excited to meet you all. Let’s make this super-fun and catch some scums!
Here's the first truth about second chances: They rarely happen by chance. Oh, the first one, sure, is often concentrated pure luck, but first chances are notorious for fizzling out, derailing. At which point, everyone learns the second truth: Pure luck will only take you so far.
Recently, in talking to a number of people who've had remarkable second acts, I met a woman named Anne Martindell whose first chance, true to form, hadn't lasted a year. On the surface, what she got was an opportunity to go to college, but condensed down, it was really a shot at becoming who she was. It stretched out, one long dazzling promise, for two semesters at Smith, during which she became sharply aware of how you could be ravenous for something like European history, how the sight of a Picasso could hit you like you'd been socked, how ideas—ideas alone—could break you out of shyness.
Right after, she learned how it was possible for a chance to be exploded so fast you couldn't be sure you'd had it. Come June, her father yanked her out of school. This was 1932. The place was too "bluestocking," he complained—too intellectual, and if you want to ruin your possibilities for marriage, that's what you'll become. She'd felt fully alive. Now she felt devastated, "terribly upset and terribly bored and terribly angry"; a year later, she was married to "my father's dream man." He was basically sweet, she says measuredly, but they had nothing in common.
If this were a fable, and perhaps it qualifies, this would be the place to point out several additional truths: Foremost, that all first chances contain seeds for a second, not to mention a third, fourth, and fifth. Without water or soil, they can lie dormant forever. Those seeds are durable, though. They can bloom years later. Not long ago The New York Times carried a record of a second flowering after a 70-year delay, in a story headlined THE GRADUATE, AGE 87, LOOKS AHEAD.
"I think women can have it all," Martindell told the reporter who'd caught up with her after her graduation from Smith, which was attended by her four children and nine grandchildren. "We live so long, you can have the family and then the career.
"I didn't do anything real until I was 50," she added, a bit of an understatement perhaps, given that after an impromptu teaching job at her children's school gave her the courage to test the unknown, she blazed a remarkable career path. Political volunteer work led to convention delegate led to New Jersey state senator. "At budget time I had a hard time," she says: "I'd missed third grade and beginning math (Mother was sick that year and didn't enroll us)." Ultimately, Martindell became director of the Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance. At 65, she was appointed ambassador to New Zealand.
It was there, then twice divorced, that she met the love of her life when she rode her bike to a gallery opening and fell in love with the painter. He wanted to marry her, but she refused. That wasn't necessary nowadays, she said ("he was cross"), but the affair continued over two continents for almost 20 years, till his death. What initially attracted him: her appreciation of art.
In post 516, EspeciallyTheLies wrote:and also i'm pretty sure i declared v/la so i didn't have time to quote and go into it more than pointing out something i agreed with. that's gonna be the case for much of this first game day. personal shit. i'm not gonna waste time defending my short posts for today. deal with it. ALSO ALSO i find it suspicious that you jumped to his defense. just saying.
I find suspicious that you voted me because you thought my opening my lamist, then dunn echoes you by saying that my opening post was scummy, texcat asked dunn for elaboration, then you say texcat was "defending" me... really now??

VOTE: wavemode
because last time we played together you were scum and I’m pretty sure you made it to end game
These are the most suspicious posts I noticed from an osuka ISO, when looking at why he was the leading wagon. He even votes wavemode twice in a row. Votes wave and votes him again, despite already voting him. None of this makes sense if osuka is town. VOTE: osuka

Also, we're getting close to the Saturday half-day mark. If we can consolidate votes, that would be good.

off topic:

ebwop: "my lamist" was supposed to be "was lamist"
