Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

No, because I've played with Roden enough to know that this isn’t Rodens towngame.
Roden is also not likely to genuinely make the mistake as town.
Beyond that, the contribution is generically a scum one regardless of the above.
I don’t like the assumption about the kinds of mistakes Roden (or anyone else) can make. I’ve seen intelligent players make mental errors or misread rules all the time.
Not sure about the generic Scum contribution part, but that’s your take so won’t argue with you on that.
I don’t trust arguments based on meta all that much, so that part is not super convincing to me. How many games have you two played together you think?

Is it your goal to play the game by using the largest amount of links possible and very few words?

You may call that anti-town as much as you want; you can consider it suspicious as much as you want. Which is fair. The scum extra kill mechanism is ludicrously strong and I am fully aware of the risks.

But I have very strong reasons for doing so. I promise that by D4, you'll know why.
I won't go 0% more than once.

But for ~reasons~ I need to go 0% today. Let's just say I'll become a scumhunting GOD.
I kinda feel like you should have just done this, and not declared it tbh.

Are you basically claiming that you have a power worth the over all productivity taking a hit?

Conversely, people probably should not declare intent to go to 100% productivity, because that is paramount to claiming either a VT or a PR with a bad ability.
damn mega townie analysis from you on something that's already been done congrats you're at the top of my TRs
This feels like a horrible reason to town read me tbh.

Thanks. I hate it.

Probably just because I do see people town read people for dumb things like that on the regular.

No, seriously; no joke; this is a realclaim. (I can fullclaim the wording use, but I've reason not to.)

Obviously, this needs to be said since eliminating me during the day is a Very Bad Idea. (I'll need to ask a question to the mod about Vigs tho.)

I may or may not be feeling like playing tonight but it'll either be shortly or not until tomorrow-at-earliest.

Checking on something, then I have a comment about the setup.

For now I can at least say: your PR is less valuable than you think it is, unless it can 100% confirm someone as town. Do not rush to use it.

I will begrudgingly accept what mastina is doing, because she is quite good at mechanics. But she'd better explain it eventually.

Don't really know how to respond to this. I know you do vibe reads, but you've never scum read me correctly by doing that. Besides, any info you may have on me is outdated and doesn't really apply to my playstyle any more, for various reasons I don't really want to get into right now.

My issue is that you're stubborn and very unlikely to change your reads, and will keep pushing based on your initial vibes. I don't know how to engage with you here.

Also claiming that I don't make mistakes about set up info is just...wrong. I don't know what you think scum!me gains from faking a misinterpretation of the rules.

Had the same thought.

As far as Mastina goes it’s just personal meta for Mastina to claim first post that their role is game breaking but they can’t talk about it.

Be prepared for Mastina to talk about it a lot in spite of that but it’s not that alignment indicative.
