General thoughts:
1. swag's ideas of who might be scum based on confirm timing are bad, but strike me as something that would more likely come from town trying to be creative, rather than scum trying to look busy.
2. No idea what Corpses is talking about w/r/t swag's input being "robotic" or whatever; faint lean scum read because of Corpses's focus on shooting down swag's contribution rather than adding to the thread himself.
3. That said, I do agree with Corpses w/r/t Riddle's Page 1 interaction with swag being null, not alignment indicative.
4. Stop rhyming.
5. Kaboose's self-vote is bad. I used to have a no-excuse policy for self voting, but these days I see it as nothing but harmless (and valueless) unless context indicates otherwise. Kaboose's Page 4, second real day of the game, first game post, on Christmas Day, self vote does not strike me as scummy. It strikes me as lazy input.

@Grib:
1.Fairies's first set of posts (Posts 28, 29, 31, and 34) struck me as unnecessarily defensive, leaving me with a lean scum feeling.
A.Particularly Post 28, where right out of the gate she's doing an unnecessary self-meta as a defense to swag's not great theory.
B.Post 29 isn't much better, where she questions why swag would want her lynched on Page 2 of Day 1. I understood swag's QL statement to be something of an exaggeration, and the fact that Fairies took it literally makes it look like she's already on the defense.
C.Post 31 and Post 34 are more neutral, however, as she diverts the conversation into theory. Nothing really to be seen there.
2.Fairies' second set of posts (Posts 107 and 109) is neutral to lean town.
A.Post 107 is a bevy of comments.
- The theory discussion is null, but extended conversation about theory in games starts to get me suspicious, so if she lingers much longer on the not-really-much-to-talk-about quicklynch debate, I'll probably chalk it up to scumminess. (Particularly now that I've highlighted that fact.)
- Questions/lack of knowledge about hydras is null.
- I think her last discussion in this post, directed at Riddle, is the most informative w/r/t Fairies' own alignment. Her assessment of swag strikes me as genuine, particularly because it takes a middle ground approach - I've been in a similar position trying to size up players, seeing both good and bad things about them, and admitting that openly is town for me. Scum would be less inclined to make such a middle argument approach because of just how easily that position can be attacked as wishy-washy or whatever.
B.I have no real justification for this beyond gut, but Post 109 feels town. I'm telling myself now to disregard that pretty weak gut feeling.
3.Fairies's third set of posts (Posts 111, 112, and 116) are ---.
- I don't want to comment on these until I see Riddle's response."This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is 'actually' innocent."

I went more in-depth because I didn't have a coherent feeling towards Fairies. Hence the lack of any comment about her. The same goes for any other player I have yet to comment about. Your inquiry prompted me to solidify how I felt. I conveyed the process and end result, per request.
Yes. It's not a "slip" (I hate that buzzword) or anything of that magnitude, but it's a comment that looks more like clever scum than town."This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is 'actually' innocent."

His only presence is questions. That doesn't bother me, as I also used to go into games pretty question heavy during the beginning of games as a way to try to hook myself into some conversation/get reactions to evaluate. So I get it, and it's null insofar as it's still early into the game.
As for the questions themselves, I think they're pretty meh except for:

Telling masons to be "dropping tells that they're not masons (not enough to be scummy ofc)" has no actual value because that is the obvious, logical play of being a mason. However, it's an action that looks like it has value because Corpses is supporting a play that benefits masons staying alive. So it looks like Corpses is taking action to look like he's advocating for a protown strategy, when really he's just advocating for basic game play."This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is 'actually' innocent."

The fact that Kaboose called that a "role trap" leads me to believe we think Corpses' particular action is suspicious for different reasons, though I can kind of see what Kaboose is saying."This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is 'actually' innocent."

I think Corpses weird "have masons potential lie about not being masons" (paraphrasing Post 51) wheneveryoneis supposed to claim mason in a hypoclaim scenario is more of a blatant "role trap" kind of situation."This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is 'actually' innocent."

@Cheet:
The Riddle-vote was being maintained out of inertia, as I wasn't sure who I wanted to vote for next. Then I decided.
I was also waiting to see Riddle's response to Fairies's position on him. That never came before my switch, but I guess it was something that helped keep my vote there (even though I don't really agree with Fairies' basis for her Riddle-vote).
My single question to him wasn't sustaining anything, as it was a bad question and I wasn't expecting anything from it.
-----
I don't know how I feel about awesome.
Listing someone as one read and then as another read within the same post when it's a big post doesn't strike me as terribly probative of scum alignment, because town compiling thoughts in that manner can lead to conflicting opinions about a player. But a more suspicious mind can certainly and fairly attribute it to scum mixing up their positions on a player. I don't really have an opinion one way or another about it because neither strikes me as a more likely scenario.
I am waiting for more input from him before deciding how I feel about his alignment.
-----
I don't know if Corpses's mason talk is "clearly" scum motivated, but I think it's more likely to come from scum trying to get townie points when discussing game setup. If a player takes a scummy action, my default reaction is that it is a scummy action, not that it is simply bad play. I see no reason why this particular action would be any different.

Yes, I know. I think the context in which this particular action of Corpses's arose is also suspicious. I don't like Corpses's interaction with swag, remember?

Kaboose's post prompted me to review Corpses's ISO, and the review of Corpses's ISO is what prompted me to vote him. I connected Kaboose to my vote based on that linear sequence of events. But upon further scrutinizing Kaboose's post after being prompted by Grib, I saw that there was perhaps some difference between what made Corpses suspicious to Kaboose and me."This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is 'actually' innocent."

I didn't want to just assume - that's why I asked what he meant by my vote being 'weird if whatisswag is town'.
What makes it weird - and why is it only weird if whatisswag is town?
What does 'weird' mean? Weird scum? Weird opportunistic? Etc.
I wanted corpses response, as I said in #162 (quoted above), for a better read on them.
I guessed that you meant lining up his lynches, but I guess what I'm getting at is I don't see how his response to explaining your "weird" play relates to whether Corpses was actually lining up his lynches. What was it about his "weird" accusation that made you felt like you were being lined up in a series of lynches?
↑ elleheathen wrote:Since you voted corpses immediately following this post to me, why the concern over my line of questioning towards them?
1. I don't have strong scum feelings about anyone, so the fact that I'm voting one player doesn't affect my questions to other players to suss out their alignment.
2. Perhaps more to the point: I was simply following up my original line of questioning.
That original line of questioning was prompted because I thought your question to Corpses looked defensive. However, the fact that Corpses didn't actually respond to your questions (I agree with you there, and I originally failed to see the disconnect between your Post 52 and Corpses's Post 55), and that you then let the issue simply die, looks less like scum defensiveness and more like early town probing. So that winnowed down my interest in pursing this issue to what I asked."This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is 'actually' innocent."

I was slightly scumreading other people? I don't know if I was prior to my switch away from the Riddle-vote.
To the extent I was, it wasn't to any degree whereby there was a large difference between a slight scumread on another player and my nullish read on Riddle that compelled me to switch my vote."This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is 'actually' innocent."

@dave:
No. Simply from the Corpses/swag interaction regarding the hypoclaim, I read Corpses as suspicious and swag as lean town.

I see that Riddle replied to this, so a couple followups.
Why do you think ignoring / not responding to suspicions, especially isolated ones which are not pursued, would be more likely to come from scum than town?
I don't know if it would more likely come from scum than town.
That said, I can certainly see a scum positive in not responding to suspicions (letting them die), and a town positive in responding to suspicions (noted above in response to Riddle). I also see a town positive in not responding to suspicions that sort of intersects with the scum positive, but that's why I asked Riddle to tell me why I should see his play as coming from town instead of scum.
Is there other behavior regarding suspicions that someone had raised that would reinforce your thinking that ignoring/not responding is scummy? Things that would reduce/offset it?
I'm not entirely sure what you're asking. If you're asking have I seen scum ignore suspicions directed at them before, I don't recall any specific instance.

Note: since you went to the effort to find my previous game in this setup you'll note that I got it wrong in that game. I'm a fast learner.
I think this is a pretty good line of suspicion.

Player A says B is suspicious. B ignores / doesn't respond to the suspicion. I think you were also saying that B was interacting with A regarding other topics.
I was asking if there are other things B might do that would increase / decrease whether it's scummy to ignore/not respond.
Ah.
The things that come immediately to mind: if there is a lengthy discussion (so the suspicions might have been missed), or if the player willfully chooses to not address the suspicions upon them being pointed out."This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is 'actually' innocent."

Well that got real defensive real quick.
You asked me what "merit" there would be in you responding to Fairies's suspicions of you. I answered that question. I presume you read my answer, even though you ask me yet again for a reason why you doing so would be meritorious.
There's no urgency here. There's something crazy like an 18 day deadline. This whole game is without urgency. But I never realized urgency was a prerequisite for suspicions to be discussed.

Finished the reread.
1. I feel less suspicious about Corpses's interaction with swag after my reread.
2. Grib's posting looks like solid town. He's catching things and articulating ideas that I am having upon reading the thread. Suggests that we're approaching the game from the same alignment mindset.
3. To a lesser extent, I get town vibes from awesome's and Kaboose's postings. Fairies is still a lean town read (don't know if I ever made that explicit from my earlier review of her play).
4. Cheetory's posts come from a much more mechanical stand point (if that makes any sense, I'm not sure it does; but it's the best way I can describe the "voice" of his posts), making it harder to discern alignment. Null read at the moment.
5. NJAC is completely MIA. Potential lurkerscum.
6. Riddle's interest in the game has dwindled down to inquiring as to an alt's main account. Helpful.
7. I don't like the elle/dave/swag interaction. There's something about each player in the context of this three person back and forth that strikes me as suspicious. Will go into more detail later after I tease out my thoughts a bit more.
8. I don't like the elle/Ranger interaction. There's something about each player in the context of this two person back and forth that strikes me as suspicious.

Regarding the dave/swag/elle conversation.
A.the biggest thing that bothered me is his reasons justifying his swag vote. Grib hit all the right points in Post 312, and Kaboose summarizes my concern about dave's "disarming the opposition" tactic of preemptively declaring his vote a not-OMGUS in Post 323. The swag push looks manufactured, and the not-OMGUS declaration looks defensive.dave:
B.I don't like his push on dave, as the basis of the suspicion (dave was only asking meaningless questions) was too premature for the state of the game. Ultimately, though, his thought process and reasoning looks like it comes from town, even if it appears scattered at times.swag:
C.I'll admit that I didn't personally have a put-into-words suspicion about elle when reading her posts; it was all a general feeling of "this doesn't sound right." (Contrast this with my suspicions about dave, where Grib and Kaboose simply vocalized my already-formed suspicions.) Of the players who vocalized particular suspicions about elle, I think that (1) Cheetory's "playing it safe" suspicion (originally stated in Post 246), and (2) Kaboose's problem with elle's inquiry to dave about elle's play (Post 323 and Post 339) are the most persuasive.elle:
Regarding this second suspicion, I don't think this is an isolated incident. I noticed that she had previously asked Corpses about her play in a similar manner (Post 118 and Post 235). Well, maybe not a similar manner, but it certainly seems to come from the same mindset: "let me figure out what this player thinks about me and try to turn it to town."
CONCLUSION: swag still looks town, even if a bit all over the place. dave and elle look more suspicious. Kaboose looks more town."This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is 'actually' innocent."

Regarding the elle/Ranger conversation.
A.elle got real defensive, real quick - and used misrepresentation the process (see Post 370 and Post 375 w/r/t a misrep of Ranger's suspicions on Fairies; see Post 378 w/r/t a misrep of Ranger's vote count/deadline conversation). elle also immediate attacks her attacker on an unexceptional issue - town reads - in Post 371 and Post 374, which gets dragged out for several more posts.elle:
B.my biggest apprehension with Ranger is that the elle v. Ranger interaction looks really forced. This stems from different aspects of their conversation.Ranger:
- How focused Ranger is on elle. Take Post 375 as an example. There are some legitimate points here - the misrep, the posturing - but there's extra stuff too that looks like a tunnel. For example, the "noted" comment. A suspicion like that would be more at home after a long back-and-forth between two players, when they have been at each other for a while and have convinced themselves of the other's guilt so that every little thing screams scum. So it looks really weird - possibly manufactured - when Ranger finds everything elle is doing is scummy even from the get go of their interaction.
(Huh, I just revisited Post 406 and I see swag had a similar reaction. More town points for swag.)
- The immediate buildup of wall-like posts. It really is an explosion of activity between these two players.
- Some of the twists and turns in their conversation looks like arguing for argument's sake. For example, Ranger's evolving suspicion of elle's L-4 comment just gives me a weird feeling (Post 375, Post 391, Post 398).
CONCLUSION:elle looks more suspicious. Ranger looks more suspicious if elle flips scum - I usually dislike doing this associative tells before a flip, but this one just hit me upon read through, so I'm willing to trust (and voice) my initial apprehension with Ranger's posting."This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is 'actually' innocent."

Other things to do at the moment, so can't finish up reading, but I stopped my reread on Page 18.

Some thoughts on these final few pages.
1. elle's Post 428 reads list is strikingly similar to how I am reading the game. I would only switch awesome (to lean town) and Kaboose (to town), put swag as town instead of lean scum, and put elle as a scum candidate. Despite those differences, there's a lot of overlap in how elle and I are understanding the game.
My takeaway from our apparently shared perspective is this: This reads list doesn't undercut my problems with elle's play, nor does it outweigh those problems. If elle does flip town, however, I will come back to this reads list as support of our (mostly) mutual understanding of other players.

Who can he attack next as being partners with Elle?Who showed that slight hesitation that he can exploit to chain a mislynch following today's bus?

The association with Kaboose is kind of laughable.
But since I'm going to flip town, I'm pretty sure all the other associations will speak for themselves - and clear a lot of people in the process.
So, by your argument, because you are going to flip town, Ranger is going to look less suspicious and be cleared?"This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is 'actually' innocent."

The answers are already there and were already there prior to your post. To me, it's basically saying that despite the last fact, you're just not believing my explanations and you find me suspicious of it regardless.
Yeah, I find your play suspicious and I'm looking for town justification for those suspicious actions. I figure you'd be the best source for such an explanation. Regarding your repeated inquiry to other players to evaluate your play, I have found your explanations lacking. As you're not giving me anything new to work with, I'll stick with what's already out there.

1. I just reread Pages 15 and 16. I don't see anything in there that justifies your misrepresentations and defensiveness with any town explanation. And, in fact, there are scum justifications for your play (e.g., "taunt<ing>" the person who suspects you into voting you, per Post 377). Once again, I was just hoping you had something more than what was already out there.
2.

@elle:I keep remembering things that popped into mind last night, so excuse the multiple posts directed at you.
↑ elleheathen wrote:I think the only one that makes any sense is GC's: That if I were to flip scum, you should be looking at LR as my partner, given my MO of bussing.
The association with Kaboose is kind of laughable.
But since I'm going to flip town, I'm pretty sure all the other associations will speak for themselves - and clear a lot of people in the process.
Will you please expand on the bolded a bit more? Who is going to be cleared if you flip town? How?"This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is 'actually' innocent."

There's a difference between tunneling and an informed perspective, yes.
Citing that fact as a truism doesn't really address the situation here. Particularly when people have criticized your tunnel of elle as a potential manifestation of your informed perspective. (There's no one, true Scotsman of how an informed perspective plays out.)
You've set up both awesome ("AwesomeUsername is scum. I don't know if he is scum with or without Elle yet. But he is scum. Thinking of switching there." in Post 419) and Kaboose ("A glance through Kaboose's ISO confirms my suspicions that Kaboose is scum, probably with Elle." Post 472) as being potential elle-scum buddies.
Thanks for your response."This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is 'actually' innocent."

So, by your argument, because you are going to flip town, Ranger is going to look less suspicious and be cleared?
Less suspicious, no.
Cleared of the association, yes.
Bolded.
That's nice.
It doesn't answer my question.

How? Well... when you use associative tells to try to connect people together as scum pre-flips, it kind of throws it out the window when one of those people flips town.
Mhm. There appears to be a problem with our back and forth. I don't know if it's simply our inability to communicate clearly, or you purposefully muddling things up.
To make sure I now understand you, when you said "But since I'm going to flip town, I'm pretty sure all the other associations will speak for themselves -and clear a lot of people in the process." you meant:
(1) the "a lot" of people who were going to be cleared were awesome, Kaboose, and Ranger; and
(2) they would not be "cleared" in the sense that they would be clear from suspicion, they would simply be cleared from being tied to elle-scum because elle-scum would not actual exist in this game."This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is 'actually' innocent."

I guess I see how you were tying "associations" with folks being "cleared," but hot damn that's a confusing way to phrase it. I thought you were saying that your flip would clear people from suspicion more generally in some sort of way, not necessarily clear away only those lines of suspicion that were tying them to elle-scum."This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is 'actually' innocent."

I know you've responded to other people's commentary. I'm not asking you any follow up questions.
(shrug) They are conclusions that I independently came to that others had already voiced. I don't really care if you think they're a sheep job or not. Take a number, apparently."This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is 'actually' innocent."
