JasonWazza: Slightly scummy because of what he's done so far (i.e. nothing but claim that he has a scumread and that he'll elaborate later). To be honest I feel like I should consider him null until he actually elaborates, but I feel his attitude about it (especially early on) is anti-town at best.In post 170, LnGrrrR wrote:

I use numbers to quantify my reads on posts and players. "Extremely slighty" means my read on a post/player is basically null but with one or two points towards town or scum.In post 219, Fegelein wrote:

Now that that's over, I can say for sure that yeah Stubbs is pretty scummy. The case in 200 currently has me convinced; 157 in particular stands out to me as awful. But I won't be voting him until he can reply to all this.This should be required reading for...everyone for anything, really.- Toomai

Not sure what to make of Stubbs' reaction. He's right about Marquis doing just about nothing but a meta read and an unexplained read, but I'm not sure how putting together a reads list helps one get into a game.
This however looks like just fencesitting.In post 241, StubbsKVM wrote:I'm a bit weirded out by Jason's behaviour. My first game ever on this site, Jason was the one who was forcing everybody else to participate.

Yeah this is rather suspicious. Leaving both claimed JOATs alive for the mindgames isn't hard to believe, but the uncountered 1-shot Doctor is somewhat. Maybe they were fishing for an unclaimed PR? That would presume that both JOAT claims are town, which I currently don't think is likely.In post 514, LnGrrrR wrote:Here is what I don't get...

The whole "passive voice" argument seemed like pointless, pedantic garbage to me and went on way too long.In post 523, F-16_Fighting_Falcon wrote:124 is terrible where he asks ffery what the point is of having a look for passive voice in lngrrrR's town game. I think it is fairly obvious: if LngrrrR generally uses passive voice as town, then it becomes a null tell. LngrrrR was also the hot topic for discussion at the time, so checking up his meta is hardly a distraction.
You think I'm not trying to get reads or improve at playing? I sit here for probably half an hour per post trying to come up with questions and reads, and come up with pointless headaches instead. I am a bad player and will probably stay that way for several years whether I try to improve or not. That does not mean I am scum; that means I am a policy lynch.In post 523, F-16_Fighting_Falcon wrote:The amount of null reads he has in 181 is troubling coupled with no attempt at developing any reads. 183 is just hoping someone else makes things happen. I really don't like 186 - pre-emptively justifying why he is dead weight in this game by referring to his other games. If he was dead weight before, makes no sense to not try and improve.
That was my point. I felt Marquis had done less than promise reads.In post 523, F-16_Fighting_Falcon wrote:271 where he says Jason has been more helpful doesn't sit right either. Jason had not done anything up until that point other than promise reads.

What I see when I look at this:- Three people (JW, Stubbs, and RM) never changed their votes throughout the day. JW claims he scumread Amrun, but still needs to explain why. Stubbs confirmed his vote once throughout the day with 242; RM kinda did with 264.
- fferyllt is the only person to not vote for Squilly/Marquis at some point, aside from JW.
- Something's bugging me about how Syryana's votes on the two claiming wagons and the lynching wagon are all in about the same place (midpoint/just before midpoint).
That was one very specific meta note. Aside from that he had posted two one-liner reads ("Rach is scum", "Feg is probably scum") with no promise of explanation.In post 527, F-16_Fighting_Falcon wrote:

Theme games are often a bit more power-heavy than normal games.In post 587, RachMarie wrote:I also find the level of claims and partial claims a bit unbelievable in a game that is not role madness.
I know I said I was going to vote JW, but the Stubbs claim seems wronger and wronger the more I think about it. It just doesn't fit, not in flavour nor with LnGrrrR's claim (which is much more believable). Besides, even though JW is being unhelpful, his claim is still reasonably believable.

I don't get this post. What do you mean by saying that three weaker claimed roles "is not equal to" one stronger claimed role? How is Fruit Vendor negative utility? Why would you need to declare intent to vote to L-2?In post 611, penguin_alien wrote:Fruit vendor plus one-shot doc that may only stump rather than save plus weak JOAT =/= strong JOAT.

I'm not entirely sure what you want by "explain how you developed the reads you did for each player in detail". The basic gist is that as I read I assign each post a series of numbers based on how much my reads for each player have changed due to that post.

I am interested in hearing your reasoning for that.In post 749, F-16_Fighting_Falcon wrote:My third question seemed redundant. What I wanted was your reads on other players in english.- I agreed with 36 (-2). I agreed with 85 and 203 (+2). I didn't like 266 or 385 (-2). I agreed with 575 (+1).
No other posts have changed my opinion of that slot.
The Stubbs flip didn't change anything (about this slot) because I don't know why it would change anything. - I liked 510 (+1). I agreed with 549 and 566 (-2). I didn't like 611 or 637 (-3).

Well alright I'll slap together a big-o list.In post 785, F-16_Fighting_Falcon wrote:Toomai, can you explain your reads? Why is someone null or town or scum. What are the reasons that you found their posts townish or scummy?
FFF and JW are town by default because I believe the claims.
Amrun I have as townish upon reread because of the Stubbs stuff as well as other things. Specifically:- 28 (+1%) Raises valid point
- 31 (+1%) Poking someone who showed up without much comment
- 37 (-1%) Pointless filler
- 51 (-1%) The whole "passive voice" argument I never cared for
- 56 (+1%) Good question, sensible answers
- 72 (+1%) Telling JW to get on with it
- 121 (+1%) Getting rid of the bad argument and spelling out the better one
- 138 (+1%) Just agreement with the post in general

Well I got blammed and had no free time, so I'll try again to finish the rest of the players shortly. Wanted to respond to this though:
My general rationale is that, while scum can (and do) make rational and sensible posts, in the long run town should make more of them overall. Townies want to find new points of view, holes in arguments, links, and the like; scum only really want to find as many as necessary to look town and avoid bringing the more dissonant ones to the forefront. There's not much negative with what I've done so far because they were both comparatively strong town reads.In post 794, penguin_alien wrote:Toomai's latest list of individual posts and his reactions to them--some of it revolves around people pointing things out. Some of it's approving of the content of posts, but there's no personal investment there. Such as saying something is sensible, or reasonable--scum are rarely gibbering idiots; scum can be reasonable and sensible and make good points. His reads aren't based on alignment-indicative things from what I can tell. In the above list, his negatives are for filler (if it's coming from town) and an argument he doesn't like. Not one that he's refuting or pointing out problems with--he just doesn't like it. And nearly everything is weighted the same, except the one Amrun post that's 'just town' with no further qualifiers.This should be required reading for...everyone for anything, really.- Toomai

Okay going to try and get this finished now.
Nachomamma8/Syryana:- 163 (-1%) Vote with no reason. JW did have 2 votes at the time, but neither were recent.
- 165 (+1%) Explained previous vote with same reasons I had.
- 193 (+1%) Looks like town questioning.
- 298 (-3%) I said it in 304 - "catchup post" that followed the leading wagon with nothing else.
- 376 (+1%) It strikes me as unlikely that scum would admit to not knowing who they want to vote for.
- 437 (+1%) After having reread, these reads mostly match what my own (re-evaluated) reads are as of this post.
- No post since then has stood out to me as net towny or net scummy. If anything, most of Nacho's posts are swingy-null (as opposed to static-null).
- Result: 0%
- 24 (+1%) It could still be RVS at this point; scum would probably want to continue that instead of asking this question.
- 190 (+1%) Similar question as 24, in a way.
- 538 (+1%) I agreed with the MSG sentiment.
- 549 (-1%) I liked this case on p_a.
- 566 (-1%) This one too, despite focusing on a post I previously agreed with.
- 719 (+1%) I like the line of thinking in here.
- 802 (+1%) I'm not sure I agree with it, but this thinking is also reasonable.
- Result: +3%
- 23 (-1%) Okay it's RVS, but this didn't look RVS-y and lacked reasoning.
- 25 (+1%) Reasoning was then given here.
- 28 (-1%) ...and then it was pointed out here that he only answered half the question.
- 321 (+1%) Don't think scum would try to ruin a buddy's fakeclaim this early.
- 381 (-1%) Don't really like the "have my doubts" part. Gut I guess.
- 437 (-1%) Calls out 433. I didn't have a problem with it originally, but seeing it spelled out here changed my mind.
- 509 (-1%) Brought up the "how do you know you were blocked" question again, after it had died down somewhat. I don't see how that helps.
- 530 (-1%) This just bugs me, I don't know why. Unnecessary post at best.
- 596 (-1%) Stubbs didn't really ignore the questions in my opinion.
- 653 (+1%) I might have asked this question too.
- 742 (+3%) Towncasepost. I can't find anything significant wrong with it.
- Result: -1%
- 47 (+1%) I agreed with this.
- 99 (-1%) This post is a fat lot of nothing. Okay, "been sick", but I think the post might have actually been better if "been sick, more later" was its only content, instead of filling it up with filler.
- 161 (+1%) Asked question about at-the-time baseless read.
- 264 (+1%) Poking of Marquis to actually do something.
- 355 (+1%) Flavour counter-evidence. Not sure why scum would bring it up at this point.
- 480 (-1%) I feel this is an "Obvious much?" post. I.e. filler.
- 603 (+1%) Setup speculation, but positively. Raising Stubbs as potential scum-JOAT made his claim look kind of worse in my opinion.
- 689 (-1%) This speculation however rubs me the wrong way. Not entirely sure why.
- Result: +2%

At best voting without a reason is anti-town. Note that whenever a reason was shortly provided I undid the negative change.In post 837, F-16_Fighting_Falcon wrote:Why is a vote with no reasoning more likely to come from scum? Is this coming from your experience with scum voting for no reason?
How is 193 town questioning? What about the questions made them more likely to come from town?
How so? You seem to read Penguin as slight town, me as town, and if you are town, it should be obvious that he is wrong.
"Why isn't Jason interesting?" "Why should I vote Stubbs over Jason?" Stuff like that. Scum generally does not care as much when town is squablling with each other.
I don't understand what #3 here is referring to.
Between 772 and 778 I did a total reread of the game, dropping (but archiving) all my previous reads. 771 did not change anything aside from convincing me I should reread.In post 837, F-16_Fighting_Falcon wrote:In your graph in post 739, you have Penguin Alien as the scummiest player in the game. In 757, you have Penguin as weak-scum (your only scumread). In 778, she changes to weak null-town. The only post she had made in between that change of reads is 771. So, this must have been the post that changed your read. Why not comment on it? Also, what about that post changed your read from a weak scumread to a weak townread?
It was still Day 1 at the time, and it's my feeing that only the totally ridiculous PR claims should be lynched D1. Stubbs's claim was only farfetched, not ridiculous, and there were arguments about power vs. flavour that made it less appealing to poke.In post 837, F-16_Fighting_Falcon wrote:Syryana called out MSG because he was voting on flavor i.e. he was voting based on which claims he bought and which claims he didn't buy. Why is this scummy? So far, you have two strong townreads and they are both based on claims to the point that you did no behavioral analysis. It follows that you consider claims to be of at least significance importance. Why do you agree with an argument claiming that voting based on flavor is bad?
I'll see if I can try this later.In post 838, Nachomamma8 wrote:
Break them down, then. What are the your scumleans/townleans in my individual posts?In post 835, Toomai wrote:If anything, most of Nacho's posts are swingy-null (as opposed to static-null).
The general gist is: Positive numbers are town, negative numbers are scum, numbers near 0 (say within 1 or maybe 2) are null. But can also be interpreted relatively; if I read everyone as positive (town), whoever's the least positive would be scum. Using "%" as a unit is kind of arbitrary.In post 839, RachMarie wrote:I am confused by all the math stuffs, what does it mean in terms of scum, null, town reads?This should be required reading for...everyone for anything, really.- Toomai

I'm more tired of the excuses than you are. In my five previously completed games I have had at least a gut feeling of who is scum throughout the game. This game has had no such luck; I currently have no true scumreads, and since the vast majority of discussion lately has been about me (and understandably so), I have no way to get any.In post 885, Amrun wrote:His content contains almost exclusively excuses, and his behavior is really strange around the Stubbs lynch and subsequent flip.This should be required reading for...everyone for anything, really.- Toomai

I don't know how to "play differently". I don't even know how I'm playing right now. As far as I'm aware I've been playing the same in all my games.In post 889, F-16_Fighting_Falcon wrote:Is there a reason why you are playing differently here in that respect?
I can't respond to Amrun's case because it's all correct. The end conclusion of "Toomai is scum" is wrong, but the contents are all 100% correct and there's nothing I can argue about without looking worse.This should be required reading for...everyone for anything, really.- Toomai

It occured to me that the Basilisk may be undetectable, given how it moves through the walls and no one's any the wiser. So penguin_alien might not actually be cleared as it.This should be required reading for...everyone for anything, really.- Toomai

FYI this was the first time I replaced into a game, so I don't know what you expect to find that isn't ambiguous as to whether it's "scumgame" or "replacegame".In post 941, F-16_Fighting_Falcon wrote:[analysis of the above]
