not true
Pine actually considered not inviting you but I told him that he should because games are meant to be played with friends.
Um.
If that were true.
Why the fuck do you think I'm scum?
If you think my statement of "Anyone is a good pick for Pine; if they weren't a good pick, they wouldn't be in the game" isn't true because Pine almost didn't invite me to the game.
Why the fuck do you think that in spite of me apparently almost not being invited and thus by my logic not being a good pick, Pine picked me?

If what you're saying is true then it's pretty damn fucking strong proof that I'm town.

And by the way?

Pink Ball loses the entirety of his fucking townread for this massive fucking misrep of me.

Anyone is a good pick for Pine--and if they weren't, they wouldn't be in the game.

This is true.

That doesn't mean there aren't players who are better picks to make than others; that doesn't mean there aren't players who are more likely to be picked; that doesn't mean picks can't be hypothesized, picks can't be theorized, picks can't be discussed.

Anyone could've been picked, but as I said before, the question to ask isn't why Pine would or wouldn't pick someone; the question is why Pine did or didn't pick them. The former is a shitty question which you will never get good answers for. The latter is something that can be talked about, discussed, debated, and so on and so forth and that is precisely what I have done, outlined who I think Pine did pick and who I think Pine did not pick and the whys behind it.

Yes because me giving my reads on the entire playerlist along with reasons why, and continuing to engage on those reads the entire fucking game. Is totally me not playing the game. Me explaining my stances, engaging players and pushing my stances. Is totally me not playing the game. Me being in a situation where by every fucking right I should be conftown and then after by EVERY FUCKING RIGHT ME SHOULD BE CONFTOWN BEING CALLED SCUM BY HALF THE TOWN.

Is totally me not playing the game.
In post 6253, Pink Ball wrote:And she's actually a good pick for Pine
Bullshit.
I have gotten mislynched or misvigged in almost every fucking game I have played this year and even in the games I didn't get either of those I came damn fucking close. L-1 in Undertale comes to mind for instance as does the fact that I was being lined up to be the next lynch in Skygazer's Everything Normal and only averted it because the last scum was lynched so the town can't mislynch me when the game's over in a town win before they can. Fuck even in xyzzy's anyone can post, game, I was almost fucking lynched although to be fair it was a crossvote between me and a different town player so scum could've picked anyone they wanted to to be the lynch and it'd have gone through and it was almost a coinflip where they did lynch me.

Mislynched.
Or misvigged.
In almost every. fucking. game.
I have played.

What makes that magically change with me being scum?
What makes me magically stop being an easy town lynch?
What makes scumastina magically, mystically, go from being a town mislynch as town, to not being lynched as scum?
...Anything?

...No?

Okay, so we've fucking established that if I am scum I still get fucking lynched. So my value can't be in me living to the endgame.
So what other value do I provide?
I can set up my scumteam for success after I am lynched.
Okay, then why was LLD scum, and why was LLD scum specifically the D1 lynch? LLD filled that role for the scumteam. Pine WANTED us to focus on her D1 and focus on her D1 we did indeed. LLD filled this role on the scumteam; are you seriously going to posit that Pine doubled down on having not one but TWO, a full THIRD OF HIS SCUMTEAM, be fucking sacrificial lambs?

Because suggesting I am scum this game when LLD flipped scum is suggesting exactly fucking that.

Okay.
So my value as scum isn't that I endgame.
My value as scum isn't that I prop up my scumbuddies.
What value does that leave in my scumplay?
Propping my scumteam up? I am a bossy bitch; that is not a skill which is really in my repertoire. It can happen, but only if I am on a scumteam where I've got good friends as my scumbuddies, and even then it's not a guarantee. (For instance RC's game had my scumteam and I heavily fight with one another behind the scenes in spite of me being entirely surrounded by friends in it. That was literally one of the best scumteams I could ask for in terms of propping up my scumteam, and I
didn't do it then
because as I said: it's not a skill which is really in my repertoire.)
Speculating as to the identity of town PRs?
I don't fucking PR hunt as scum; this is not a skill scumastina would thus bring to Pine's scumteam.
Working on mechanics to shut down any town mechanical solve?
That's literally the closest to a possible skill Pine could see value in picking me for, and that is still not my specialty as scum.
Crafting fakeclaims for my team?
My modus operandi as scum is to tell the fucking truth and encourage my scumteam to do the same.
Help Pine create a plan?
So what's the fucking plan I helped create then? This scumteam is not fucking following any plan I'd have made and the jjh kill is fucking proof of that. (jjh was, by the way, a scumread and good fucking luck finding a scumgame of mine where I kill a fucking player I am scumreading.)

What makes me a good pick for Pine this game, pray tell?

Absofuckinglutely nothing, at least given the known and proven facts so far in the game given what has happened and what we know has transpired thusfar.

There is good reason for me to be picked in theory--there is such reasoning for every player to be picked. Every player has a reason they would be picked and I am no exception to that. There is damn fucking good reason Pine DIDN'T pick me.
In post 6253, Pink Ball wrote:along with PP. Called them out on D1, they're both scum.
Oh yes I am scum with a player who I would happily fucking lynch because I was literally the first fucking person to call PenguinPower possible scum on D1. Right. That's how scumastina plays these days.
Interesting turnabout from "mastina is a God of scumplay".

But given I've basically retired from this site precisely because literally everyone on this site seems unable to go a game without getting into interpersonal drama that goes beyond the game (myself included), I'm kinda over just letting mastina try to read me based on whether I'm "miserable" or not. She knows I was miserable in pretty much every game I've played on this site in the last few months regardless of alignment.
Still.
The difference between your towngames and your scumgames is night and fucking day.
Your towngames have had miserable moments in them but in spite of the miserable moments they still had LIFE to them.
Your scumgames have been nothing but misery and maybe because of the miserable moments they had no life to them.
This game you have no life to you.

In post 6329, Krazy wrote:I'm like, looking at her play, and her reads are just... not good enough to be town mastina.
Also bullshit. I am known, proven, demonstrably, a shitty scumhunter. My read accuracy in general is random
at best
and is usually BELOW RANDOM ODDS.

This is a known, demonstratable, fact about me. It is something that everyone knows about me.
I have strengths as a town player.
Those strengths are not good, accurate scumreads.
If anything it'd be reasonably decent townreads and what townreads have I gotten right so far?
Ankamius, kinda sorta vaguely Nacho (but ehhh debatable there), Chickadee, and Something_Smart.
What townreads of mine have I gotten wrong?
I mean...technically I guess you can strictly speaking say in a sense LLD if you're going to be incredibly literal since technically strictly speaking I did say "she's more likely to be town than scum".

I have never been known for accurate scumreads and I have also been known infamously to have one scum I end up hard-defending at some point in the game or another, a fact which has been shown in numerous games. Tatsuya's Anime UPick, Krazy's Anime UPick, schadd's MBoS 4, momo's Can't Remember The Name of This Game, how many others? Those are just the ones which IMMEDIATELY pop into my head, I'm sure there are plenty more beyond that. Games where I hard defended at least one scum, possibly defending a second scum, too.

By proxy of having hard defended scum in those games, you can also then reasonably deduce that I hard pushed town as being scum in those very same games because obviously if there's at least one scum I thought was town that means there was going to be at least one town player I thought was scum.

My reads are provably, demonstrably, shit--saying "mastina's better than this as town" is literally the way over half my fucking mislynches happened because in spite of me giving this spew every fucking time the logic is still fucking given and it has never fucking held true.
In post 6329, Krazy wrote:I'm kinda done dealing with her after how lazily she tunneled me in EICN.
What Krazy conveniently leaves out is that I made a key error in that game: I misidentified which head he was. I thought all of HIS posting wasn't his, and that all of his PARTNER'S posting was his, and THAT was the source of my scumread on him that game.

I stated this multiple times and he fucking knows that's the source of my scumread on him from that game--not that I thought his posting was scum, but that I erroneously identified his hydra partner as being him and thinking his hydra partner was him, I thought "his" content was scum.
Had I correctly understood which head was Krazy, then I would've instantly known he was town because I would've known his content made him town.

I strongly feel we should flip PB, Fire or, The Worst.
Krazy, Pops, and Gamma are tier 2 reads.

The day 1 wagon on LLD feels like LLD taking a dive to protect her partner(s). Alisae suggests a Firewagon, and there's a counter on the worst. The worst feels independently scummy though as well.

Jjh actively resisted the LLD wagon even though LLD voting him was the impetus for her wagon (that's why Grey voted). Jjh wanted Fire and Krazy. In that range, LLD spends an insane amount of energy defending Fire.

Then, Fire gets the governor from Pine.

The worst MIGHT be town but should only get clearing if Fire is not a scum PR.

Fire loses his vote to get the governor...how convienent with someone studying VCA here.

Simple.
Exercise.
Take a look at literally any Krazy towngame this year.
What is he doing in those games?

Scumhunting a plenty. Active, giving content, giving reads. Doesn't matter what the pace of the game is, doesn't matter what's happening in his life, doesn't matter how V/LA he is. He has contributed content, reads, reasons, to all of them. Sometimes with a slow start, but he's always giving eventually and it's always good, solid stuff with good reasoning, good logic, sound stances that even if they aren't correct you can follow and understand the logic behind him having taken those stances, and these stances are based around players' content and him commenting on them.

Exercise.
Take a look at the majority of Krazy's scumgames this year.
What is he doing in those games?
Pretty much jackshit. When he does contribute, a lot of his content as scum revolves around mechanics and theorizing about what those mechanics mean for the game.

Now tell me.
Which of those two resembles his play this game?

THAT is why Krazy is scum.

I mean.
Pretty much, yes?

I continue going up the list regardless of anything else that happens in the game if the events that happen in the game don't affect the other aspects of the list.

Why the fuck wouldn't I.

When I fucking go in expecting to be wrong (even though I always work under the assumption I am right because the game is literally unplayable if you assume you're wrong), which you fucking know I always do.

Why the fuck when it's shown that I am wrong do you think that I'd go "oh I must reevaluate everything, shut down, reset, restart, throw everything I had out the window"?
When I am shown wrong, the things which I had thought that are directly tied to the thing shown wrong I discard--if I assume player X is scum and from this assumed Y was scum and Z was town, and player X flips town, then yes, I reassess player Y being scum and player Z being town.
But if I assume Player X is scum and unrelated to this assume player Y was scum and unrelated to this assume player Z is town, then player X flipping town does nothing to make me reassess player Y being scum and does nothing to make me reassess player Z being town because those reads were unrelated to the erroneous read on player X.

My scumread on you was never tied to jjh.
My scumread on you was never tied to Aristophanes.
My scumread on jjh/Ari was never tied to Ari/jjh.
Why would either of them flipping town magically make me reassess my read on you when my read on you was utterly unrelated to my read on them?

After all I said on numerous fucking occasions.
"These are my strongest scumreads. I don't think they are a scumteam together, but that doesn't stop me from scumreading them".
Inherent in that statement is that I know I have erroneous scumreads and that at least one player I am scumreading is town.
Inherent in that statement is that I know I will be proven wrong at some point, potentially repeatedly if it turns out I'm 1-2 on reads rather than the optimal 3-0.
I can repeatedly quote the instances of me saying precisely this and you if you're so much as fucking pretending to read my iso don't need me to because you'd be able to see them plain as day.

So no fucking shit I push you even after Aristophanes and jjh die.
Because them flipping town, while a reason for me to go "fuck this game", doesn't magically make my scumread on you wrong.
7-for-7, or in this case its inverse, 0-for-2, is still a logical fallacy and you fucking know it is.
