Look at their iso to this point. This post particularly pinged but there's no solving. Some fluff is ok but we're past fluff.
ok but a) I feel like this is literally just what anya does and b) you have played with anya and you should know that? She just enjoys posting nonsense. There's some substance mixed in but you have to wade through layers of abstraction to find it.

There doesn't seem like much here that is outside of that range to me?
I don't particularly care for meta and I'm not guessing what Anya's content is.

Like these three posts imo have expressed meaningful thoughts about the game, even if they're weirded absurdly, and that seems like a fairly normal level of anya signal:noise for me.

Do you disaree? If so, why?

The more I think about it the more I really don't like this push from titus because I feel like she should really know this?

This post is a cop out. There's "I don't like meta as a reason to lock town or lock someone" and then theres "actively ignoring information you have"

I think you're missing my point. You voting Anya isn't logical even if i believe what you just said in your last post.

The logical conclusion for a townie to "i know this player posts a lot of fluff as either alignment and i don't have the ability to sort through it" isn't "therefore they are scum."

It's "therefore i will solve elsewhere."

Even if i buy the idea that the mindset you're espousing is townie to begin with, which i don't think i agree with anyway, i still don't think it would lead town!you to vote Anya.

And i see a lot of reasons why scum!Titus would think pushing Anya is good.

There's your problem.
I don't care to meta.
Second, even if I did, voting a player with high garbage to noise ratio is a great place to get more content as pressure might help them comply.

An unreadable slot is garbage and scummy. I play to win and voting slots that ping me and are anti-town is good.

Why the concern after I move my vote?

The concern is that you're shifting the context away from Atre/Whemestar, which are good sorting wagons. I am trying to sort whether that's coincidence or genuine.

So you think I'm voting you too distract from wagons instead of because i think your play is scummy?

I'll be honest, it's impressive that you have come up with a much more creative way to omgus someone than most.

Pedit: i did actually. I said even if i agree with your statement that you don't have the ability to sort Anya's signal from noise it doesn't make sense for you to vote them. It was basically my whole argument.

You can disagree with that argument but saying i didn't consider it is a huge misrep

Hm.

Why are Atre/Wheme better sorting wagons as dueling wagons than either of them and you?

Not really what I meant, although I see that point. I’m more looking at the player list and wondering why, given said list you’re more worried that there aren’t movers and shakers on the scum team than that there are and you aren’t seeing them.
I have fairly solid townreads on a majority of the movers and shakers I personally would panic about, and I just came off a game where being paranoid about handing out townreads and instead sitting by burned me and my town team.
How bad was the burn?
Extreme, actually.

It was soulcrushingly miserable. Mod randomly did a "tehehehehe by the way the town miller exists but there are no town cops oh yeah and there's a neighborhood but both memebrs are mafia traitors that don't know about each other" shit and we tried to mechsolve instead of reads-solve. It was a disaster.

Oh, this is an aside, but morph do you use weaponized hydra dissonance as a scumtool? I assume the answer is yes and this is not a behavior I've seen, but I want to know if you do for later.

Binary. Do you intentionally create arguments about your reads as scum to appear town and avoid pushing wagons, or are you more likely to default to one person leading on reads and the other following.

The guess the hydra bit was an attempt to gauge how well I can tell the two of you apart tonally, I didn't actually look for games either of you had played with anya.

From my perspective, I already know my own alignment. I have a high tendancy to OMGUS. They also happened organically.

From an objective perspective (removing play), any wagons are good for sorting.

I feel like I am onto something and that's why the sudden pressure.
