you said this game is outside your scum range, why not link some of your scum games and why you think you're outside that range?

You're so steeped in the semantic argument that I have difficulty believing you're not just side stepping your play all together by saying people argue bad and if they argue bad they deserve what they get.

Yes, if they play bad and they get eliminated, then they deserved it. Do you disagree?

You argued you're outside your scumrange. That argument pinged me, so it's on you to demonstrate that wasn't a scummy thought process. You basically said you wouldn't try as scum or that you wouldn't have fucking murdered titus for shitty reasons as scum, both of which sounds like bullshit. What in this game is actually outside your scumrange?

Figure it out yourself.
I'm not giving you a roadmap to reading me.

You just accused me of being lying scum without even pointing to a lie I could have made.
The reason that post was strange is because it was meandering and had no point or belief in place. It was a rush job that felt more like you were filling space then thinking about it.
I love calling myself town when I'm town by the way. Which is relatively evident by this game and a lot of other games. I usually call myself town when I'm town and I actually tone down how much I say I'm town when I'm not.
Except when I get into a loop and can't solve. But obviously, I'm not doing nothing so that goes out the window too.

Yes. If you're town and they're town and you eliminate them, it's your fault because you voted town.

Why should I?
I'm heavily against the use of trust tells. Like, the literal idea that I have to give you any sort of hint in learning how to read me basically means I have to then subvert it in the future.

I assume that you didn't get into playing mafia because you were terribly interested in punishing people who play in ways you don't like, while rewarding those that do.
You taking this tack, is not so uncommon that I don't see town use it.
Funnily enough, if Spiffeh is also scum with you, you both used fairness a lot to win arguments and get town read.

So it's your fault we eliminated Shelly and she didn't deserve that at all?

If it wasn't why would I have apologized for misreading her.

Okay, Bell. I believe that you truly believe in the point you're making.
However, you're still probably scum.

If you're so afraid of the use of trust tells, why argue you're outside your scum range in the first place...
This is actually a dumb argument, but you probably should recognize that you're being kinda manipulative in how people view your slot lately.
Bell is town. Find scum.

No, I'm probably town you just either can't read people or you're scum this game.

How is it any more or less manipulative than how other people get others to view their slot?
I can say I'm already out of my scum range all I want. It's up to everyone else to believe if that's actually the case. If I actually went out and proved it, then that would be a huge issue.

But seriously, I am not having "scum" reads. I am having "suspects" instead. Why? Because we have still to flip ONE red role. Not one. So all I have is suspicion and speculation.
For instance, I -obviously- suspect Pooky. I tracked him and -according to Annie- he apparently went nowhere, which is disappointing.
Now the way I play Tracker is not make it clear whom I suspect. I leave it in a pool so scum can't guess whom I'm targeting next. Gun-to-my-head I might give in and provide a "vague" read list, yet I also may just provide a "fake" read lost to still make my target unpredictable (or -at least- not easily guessable)
Like, here's a read list for you to work off, but I give no promises it's accurate
Petapan < Mechanical clear for me
Deacon Blues/Dandelion Wine < Guessing the NK was meant to hit one of them and Gamma took the hit instead
Spiffeh < Play is almost too scummy to be scum
skitter30 < Call it a soul reade (I had actually provided the reasons earlier)
PookyTheMagicalBear < Had no night action so don't see why hw wasn't sent to do the kill last night
Firebringer <I historically struggle to get a TR on FB, but he has yet to trigger my scumdar
Lady Lambdadelta < I didn't like her rage over the preliminary read list I provided (that I even said explicitly was not my own). Otherwise, I have nothing much to say for/against her
midwaybear < This is the most volatile read I have. By PoE, and unless the other thread is dominated by Scum; this has to be a scum slot here. Yet, by play I have more Town pings from him than half the other players. (Actually, I'd only TR Deacon, Dandelion & skitter more is I ignore all mechanical reasoning)
Up to you now to decide which slot(s) am I misplacing on the list on purpose.
There isn't a single strong suspicion here. This is all hedging.

You're escalating to a trust tell, when he's basically asking you to self-meta.

Pretty sure someone commented on how to read him in xeno somewhere day one.
No I don’t remember who.

Moving the goal posts just so you don't want to do something is more convoluted then just saying you don't want to do something.
I doubt it would have hurt your position any. But okay.
