im not really concerned with your level of activity because im not sure if that's AI for you. i am sad you never engaged with my earlier questions for you though :c
I feel pretty strongly that scum busses tictac-chem here, and it's a matter of finding who is most likely on the wagon. I don't think Alo is scum. Hectic could have done it as a planned bus, but i find that less likely than the other options. profii's "Good enough for me" after hectic made the case does not sit well with me. Cat helped start the pressure, but it was very early on so only minor town points. i dont have a read on holden.
Gamma, amazingly enough, voted both before there was any lynch pressure (in RVS), and then voted again a second time when it felt like the Chem lynch was mostly agiven (thinking he put her to L-1). Holden is a null.
So, therefore, Gamma>profii>Holden>Cat>Hectic>Alo.
If i said, "My two strongest scumreads are the inactives", thatd imply im scumreading them for that reason, which i only partly do in Gammas case.
Also, just above profii and Gamma on my readslist, im considering bob and Aaron as potential chem defending partners. neither of them were inactive at the end of d1
Tbh if I was looking at my voting from an uninformed perspective that would look like a good bus, voting in RVS and then when the pressure was on. Can’t really speak for why I’m detached rn, but what are these questions you asked? I’m sure you noticed I responded to bob’s questions, so it should be evident I’ll answer if I notice them.

Gamma where are you at game and read wise? You feel reserved.
I’m pretty much nowhere when it comes to the game but I’ll get there eventually. Reads I’ll politely decline to answer.
Now please answer me straight for my question because that is just subverting it.
Gamma, why are you concerned with making Holden answer your question about why Bobman is doing VCA? Why not ask Bobman directly?
Because I didn’t like Holden dodging the question with a disqualifying statement (it’s not VCA it’s xyz) rather than tell me why Bob did the “not-VCA”. Me being incorrect about something is doesn’t mean I don’t still want to know why it is being done.

Oh God lol. I remember reading a bit of that when it was happening and I thought Wake's entrance felt a lot townier than usual.
Oh shit
Didn't realize town won that game
yay!
Also AaronFFrost gets townpoints for the Survivor meme
So other than this meme what do you think of arraon.
What points though out the game have left you thinking aaron is town. And at any point has anything he has doen even for bit caused you to reconsider? Even if was onyl short.
I remember seeing others calling Aaron scum but none of the reasoning has stuck with me so I’m going to assume the cases weren’t that good. Besides that I don’t really have much on him.
Any reason why you’re hitting me and me specifically with this battery of questions?
simply put you were the first name on the chemist wagon. So you were first

Ok then
Btw while I want Holden to answer if he can I would also like an answer from you. Why were you doing what looked like VCA?

Really? I would see that reasoning as really scummy if anyone had tried it yesterday.
Gamma was voting Misty without giving any reasons for Misty being scum. It's not like he was trying to convince us it was the best vote, so his vote probably didn't make a huge difference on the end result of the day's outcome.
On top of that there is the continuing possibility that both wagons were on scum, and Aloratom has a better PR.

even if it is SvS, i still expect third scum on tictac-Chem most likely
@Gamma
i never asked you a question. I thought i asked profii but turns out i didnt really

I've seen Gamma as scum go quite defensive of a scum lynch so I guess he isn't a busser but who knows

Honestly, I'm kinda feeling the same way rn. I have no real scum reads and a few weak town leans on cakez, dave and hectic.
I town read all these players
-Hectic was the target of many actions, no one is jumping up and saying 'this is potentially a guilty' so I'm assuming nothing untowards
-Cakez flipped town
-Dave, I think I've seen a dave town tell but it only happened recently
so the weird thing is, even though it's weak, Aaron got 3 reads 'right' as far as my mind is working, way earlier in the game. I don't mean to infer that this is not possible or I am a superior player obviously - but I'm obviously getting at the point that scum just know so it could easily be that.
You're scumreading Aaron because he got 3 reads right, 2 of which might still be wrong? You're using your own assessment of your townreads on Hectic/Dave to establish AaronFF is probably right about them, and TMIed them early. That's... not great reasoning, especially since AFF listed them as "weak town leans".
Well I dont see any players putting billboards up with the game solve on so...

This is stupid but part of my reasoning for picking Chemist over Alo was gamberlers fallacy.
We just rolled scum together in the last game we played so given day 1 is always a bit of a guess, hectic seemed confident in the meta read, gamberlers fallacy, boom chemist.
Ha

one think i will need to look at is how dead chemist was.
You have two main bussing places. early 1-2 and swing point of the wagon 3-5
If scum bussed 1-2 they can become trapped as if the slot flips it creates associations. Normally early bussers are teh last to unvote if the slot is rescued
Then you have the swing part of the wagon. Tends to be town if scum think it can be rescued. If they think its doomed then thats were scum rush to be on it

Morning feels like she's focusing too much about finding "the" scum that was bussing. I'm not sure where this confidence comes from and it kinda feels agenda-driven honestly. Morning, can you see a world where both scum were off the Misty wagon? Don't make me bring out the chinchillas - unless they're like an edge case that you're actually really fond of.
Gamma, can we get a reads list from you?

No, but my point is that your reason for scumreading Aaron relies on you being right on 2 townreads, and thinking that AaronFF was TMI reading them town rather than actually just having decent reads early.
That's a lot of assumptions to make.

chinchillas?!?! that wont be necessary-! ill elaborate on why it is so likely
Dave, Aaron, Wake, Bob, and myself were off-wagon.
Wake is town
Dave is lean town, no more comments as of yet
Bob tried to defend Chem whilst admitting the wagon is perfectly valid
Aaron defended Chem a bit more than Bob, and now today is advocating for SvS.
Compared to the large pool of voters on wagon, itd be very hard for me to believe theres two scum here, off-wagon. it's likely inside of Aaron and Bob, and i think its unlikely that both partners would defend that particular wagon. The combination of how assured it felt + only one real counterwagon, which was weaker, makes a bus seem so likely.
So tldr; a smaller pool of potential scum off wagon, plus the nature of how that days wagons went, makes me feel it is highly likely 1, possibly 2 scum are on wagon.

I got the impression that you were focusing the other way around, looking at VC and then finding posting.
If you didn't have VCA whose posting is the sketchiest? That can include their reasoning for votes, don't want to be too limiting. The point of this approach would be to prove to yourself and others that it isn't the VCA that's driving it. Not that it's bad to be VCA driven, just to see if it clicks.

Making a note that it's 6 days to deadline, that's 3 to settle on a wagon and 3 to look for another if it's a convincing PR claim.

Morning:
Why did you stay on profii for the entirety of yesterday, despite you being the only person not voting for one of the two wagons (Aloratom and tictac). profii clearly wasn't going to happen, so why didn't you pick a side?

If what you had understood before was that Hectic broke the tie and voted Chemist and that made Hectic Town, when in actuality it was profii who did that, why is Hectic still Town and profii not Town?
