The way I see it, first they said they did it for the memes, then they said they did it for the memes and because they wanted to guarantee a unique number. How is that lying?
I have not looked at all previous runs, but AFAIK there has always been at least one PR that is not chosen in the draft.
Oh okay, I mean it makes sense as to there being at least one considering how the draft works but stil doesn't make being informed stronger than multitasking assuming the mafia are trying for PRs.

They lied via omission.
Explain the scum motivation here, and explain why it’s sooo unlikely for a townie to not say their entire draft strategy.

Read the context, they were being called sus for choosing a number like that and instead of actually defending themselves they went via the "haha lul" approach and when I called them out on it they added another response to cater to what I said. Then their posts completely changed with tone before my suspicions being called trash by everyone else and then they went back to their general attitude but except the tone was still trash for a bit.
It's much worse for town to lose a PR than it is for scum to lose a PR.
i don't necessarily agree with that. eliminating, say, a scum-vig is a HUGE swing in town's favour (as we saw in the last PYP game), whereas losing a town vig sucks, but isn't the end of the world.
i think people underestimate the power of scum roleblockers too. an active scum RB allows scum to neutralise twice as much town power per night (NK + RB).
generally speaking, my observation of the current meta is towns are far too scared to execute a player just because they claim a PR. so to see this level of enthusiasm for pressuring high draft picks is very refreshing. sometimes to execute scum, you have to risk losing PR's.

So...if dgb had made the same post but with the reads reversed you would get the same out of it?
looked to me like infinity was stretching to give credit for a rather arbitrary collection of reads.

Have you developed any outside of saying PP felt towny a while ago?
In post 490, lilith2013 wrote:@SS if you're town, I'm happy to be proven wrong, but like, you calling out skitter on her response to JV's townread on her felt over the top
Hmm? His response to that was along the lines of "This is interesting, I wonder what to think. Slightly scummy."
The fact that he called it out at all feels like not-SS to me. It also reminded me of this post:
Honestly, I think the number of people who immediately popped in to express their dislike for the wagon is much more notable.
in which he avoids interacting with the wagon, similarly to how he avoided commenting on the JV wagon here.
Ok so I don't have a ton of history with s_s, but other people seem to, so this seems like something that should be easily resolved? Either town!s_s tries to solve by asking sideline questions without throwing out a ton of opinions of his own, or he doesn't. I thought it was the former based on this interaction:
In post 233, Infinity 324 wrote:s_s, do you think it's important that people don't develop reads for bad reasons? (Don't remember that much about how you tend to play)
but I don't really feel like doing the meta research so if someone who's played with s_s before could give input that'd be great.
lack of reads NAI for SS
sideline opinions are whatever, NAI as an action in itself, but the way he said it felt very similar to a scumgame we had together, and I think it’s out of character to comment on skitter there but not the JV wagon or JV themselves
In post 482, lilith2013 wrote:okay so I have a super crazy wild theory that SS and skitter are scum together and the reason that skitter's scumreading me so early is because they know I can read SS really well
What about Skitter do you think has been scummy thus far?
Does her ability to read you also go vice versa (as in she said she's good at reading you)
The rest of her play is pretty much null for me - like it’s towny but not in a way that I think is unfakeable, especially from skitter. I’m more commenting on her coming out of the gate scumreading me and basically doubling down now. I don’t think I’m particularly good at reading her? But I also don’t think she’s as good at reading me as she thinks (tangentially, I would have agreed with her before my most recent game, but after playing a mini normal I think the number of players in a game impacts my gameplay quite a lot; and in retrospect, this applied before my site-hiatus as well - any game over 9 players basically has me flailing around regardless of alignment.) so I think town!skitter would believe what she’s saying about me, but again... I don’t particularly think it’s fakeable.

Citing your own words on my ability to read you
And hectic's game was a 13p
And i think that town!you takes a harder position on your read on me either way. And tries to divert me more, no matter what you think of my alignment
