Hi Looker

Nugget of wisdom: Don't lim Grandpa or James today. f

Look looker, I know you rolled scum. Please confess?

looker, don't do it! make T3 work for the bus!

Sorry - to quote the bangles, it's just another manic monday.

Will read up now and provide reads/thoughts very soon. (:

Hello looker~

Practice what you preach.

I had a look through the bracketed 4 in more depth.
Mo hasn't voted for the longest duration, which is weird but the game is slow I guess, I don't think he's scum here.
cowsloveSushirolls is being sporadic, it is really hard to tell if it scummy or townie for me.
The Bulge is a lurker/coaster. Along with the not voting and reasoning I think there's a good chance he's scum.
StrangeMatter is scum, they've had 160 odd posts and haven't even contributed a read yet, weird. They comment on their opinions of Lurkers whilst lurking/coasting, without giving names or being cued. I'll tell you why this is scummy. This is kind of the opposite of bussing. With bussing you want to get your own scum member pressured, and you want to seem as town like by being the main person pushing the wagon. In this case, they don't want to name any actual lurker, so when a town flips, they weren't pushing the wagon and would garner no suspicion.

I'm confident the 2 scum are in [T3, The Bulge, Looker].
It's unfortunate StrangeMatter got replaced when I noticed this, so I'm not going to push Looker too hard as they can't explain everything behind a predecesor. I'm not hammering anyone outside of these 3 D1.

I still think the cows/VFP pair exists btw

heavy disagree, both t3 and bulge have been respectuflly townie.

mostly bulge tho, i feel like they aree playing like me, they are wanting a flip, and have had the same thoughts as me before.

Scum do infact have an incentive to be "anti-town" so ppl can just go them calling "omg they're tstbs"(which is basically what you're doing rn)

rolling around in my head right now

as far as i know only 2 people have used TBTBS right now in order to support a read: me and grandpamo

i don't think people saying that is as common as you think, if i remember correctly 2 people have been against using those sort of reads (you and bulge) which means we are evenly matched. i don't think this is actually the case and there's a lot more people that don't use TBTBS than do

sure the lurking part of VFP's play is likely to be excused by newbies, but the general reaction of a newbie i'd think when subjected to their again, kinda vague cases would be frustration and also puzzlement
so, why deliberately try it, when they haven't played like this before (presumably)?

how many more posts are you gonna spend dunking on strangematter?

yeah, looking back T3 has expressed resistance to the way TSTBS has been used in this thread

it's not oppppptimal to play like that in a newbie game

fwiw, i believe tstbs is used only when not in comparison to someone's meta. because if u go to vfp's meta and analyze it, you can see that maybe town!vfp plays like this or scum!vfp plays like that. the only reason i called out hockey being tstbs is because their whole playstyle was this this game, and they are still continuting that playstyle. someone like vfp, in my perspective, cant really be tsbts because i have seen vfp play as a more active role as town. I also seen vfp play more active as scum, so imo, i see it more nai for vfp to play like this and should be read on other things

My understanding is that TSTBS is based around an understanding of site meta or a person's meta (what does this person / do people on this site like to do as scum? was their scummy action too blatant or done with a lack of self awareness?).
Now that I have that down, I realize that yes, i do suck at using TSTBS.
For humor's sake and to salvage a bit of my dignity, I'll say that your application of the term is less valid than mine because it's based on the difference between their towniest and scummiest logs only, and do something completely different.
