I don't see why Scum!Luke would alienate you, if you become convinced he is scum, don't you just vote for me and then he loses?
It seems like a lot of effort for not much gain.
Disagree. If he's scum, he has to contend with the possibility that one of us will vote the other. If he can scumlock me, he doesn't have to worry about you voting me. It's one less way for him to lose here.
Pav, your thoughts on how this game play out feel fairly alien to my own.
The only way for any scum in the keep to win the keep is for a townie to vote for them. Do you really think it makes sense that my game plan right now is to actively scum case you and lock you into your scum read on me while at the same time telling Ari that she should not be the one to vote?
You keep saying every single thing that I do makes me scum, but I don't even see the scum path to victory that you are trying to argue that I am going for.
The more you are doing this, the more I am leaning towards you having started the day already with a game plan of calling me scummy, and you are just sticking to it...
Lets talk about the reasons you have called me scum / presented scum paths to victory:
Like, I know for a fact that either you are scum or ari, and that which ever one of you is scum wins exclusively by voted, and the other is town and wins either by being voted or by voting correctly.
And Ari looks like she is actively considering who she would vote 405, 492, 535, 613
And you seem focused almost exclusively on getting voted 463, 464, 615, 625
Why would I not think that you are the scum between the two of you here?

What about this makes me more likely to be scum then town? Have you looked at my explanation for that, or are you just latching onto it because Ari originally called me scum for it?

In post 635, numberQ wrote:This is an insight I hadn't considered that kind of gives +town points to Pav. Maybe the self-vote thing was obvious to everyone else and I'm just dumb, but I don't know if scum points this out and in turn makes everyone even more cautious.
This feels like a bad reason to try and town read Pav, but I think that that is actually +town for numberQ.
I don't think that scum are in a position to go out on a limb for pav, and are likely going to just let him sink or swim on his own.
+town for Q even if I am wrong in the keep I think, just because in a scum ari world, scum would be very happy with the status quo of Pav being the most scum read and him scum reading me, and not want to rock that boat either

that baltar / pav interaction this page is weird, and i don't understand it
I did not really mean to only talk to/about pav in this sitting, but he was most of the posts since I was last on lol

The feeling of complacency is hard to shake.
Have you talked about reasonings for Baltar and Toog before this?
I just made a +town for numberQ post and a +scum for Baltar post and have been pushing Pav, and not gonna lie, seeing you present that solve immediately after caused a pit in the stomach sensation.
In post 502, Aristeia wrote:i think gate should resolve either second or last
if implo or lukewarm flip scum it makes it much less likely imo that imaginality is scum here
Can you explain this to me?
I think Baltar is a much stronger 1v1er than Imaginality, it feels like a bit of a mismatch to put him at Gate, I think you/implo would have much better odds of winning the 1v1 there.
Wait I remembered this conversation about imaginality v baltar.
I can find anything on Toog. Why are you leaning toog>numberQ

I think Ari asking Luke for his best scum game is poignant because if Luke is scum he's playing a hell of a game here.
