I enjoy mass flavorclaims.In post 17, Obvious Alt wrote:I would like to discuss the pros/cons of mass flavor claiming.
But I enjoy massclaims in general.
Pros- There might be some role interactions with regards to flavor, it limits claims down the line,it quells my curiosity as to who you all picked, and maybe if all the stars align and we pay a blood sacrifice we could catch scum? (I doubt a upick will have its flavors be alignment indicative without solid fakeclaims in place.)
Cons- There's probably some roles that, thanks to flavor, are inherently overpowered and claiming characters will give scum (provided they have an inkling of knowledge of the source material this game was based off of) a road map on who to kill. (Of course, this could be balanced out by town power, and of course is purely conjecture)
I think it's a good way people to do things without actually doing things though.

I've skimmed on my phone, have to actually sit-
@Syry- My thought process was actually twofold. The chance of it actually being a scumslip was slim, but what I was curious about is at worst it IS a scumslip and at best it says he thinks town have reasons to lie in a mass flavorclaim, or any massclaim at all and that needs to be addressed now rather than later. Town have no reason to lie. At all.
I swear if either of you two bring up that 4 letter name I will smite you
Town have no reason to lie, scum do. Simple as that.

first things first, I don't think bork is scum. I could easily be wrong on this since I have misread him very badly in the past, but in general I think the most apparent tell with him is that when he's scum a lot of his posts and reads are just really flat and going-through-the-motions and I don't see that here (the read on Syr falls in pretty direct contrast to it). I also think that most of the more subtle things he's posting about are pretty reasonable, i.e. 120 about Dunn. I will likely revisit this if I have reason to question it later.
second, Charl is town. I don't think 87 comes from scum, and beyond that I'm fine with his posts in general. I pretty obviously disagree with notty's read here; ideally I'd let him handle it himself, but if he continues not to be here poke me again and I can talk more about it.
TOB's push on Syr is terrible, but I am not sure that it is terrible in a scummy way. I want an explanation for their town read on OA, though.
I don't have any town read on Dunn; I don't have any issues with the bulk of his push on us (save potentially the post bork pointed out), but it's nowhere near unfakeable.
AJ's 128 is really underwhelming and since notty seems to be gone/not have a vote down I'm going ahead and voting here.

I generally agree that his posts aren't scummy, and that his opening was either a legitimate reaction test or him feigning a reaction test, but I don't know if I see why the way he did it is more likely the former than the latter. can you walk me through it in more depth?In post 134, borkjerfkin wrote:I'm around-ish, a lot of people are going to bed.

notty's RL is really busy. I think he should be around at some point or another, but regardless, I was only even able to drag him into this game because you were in it. <_>In post 136, borkjerfkin wrote:FWIW I was hoping for more of an NS presence early game -- I find him easier to read than you (I don't feel that I've ever really had a game where I was super wrong about him)notscience + pieguyn- Seiko x Naomi

I think "I'm weirded out by notty's 'slip'" is a lot more reasonable than anything you did in that game, given notty's angle was pretty clearly wrong. either way, I do think you would be capable of making the same push as scum, hence why I say it isn't unfakeable and that I don't think you're town for it.notscience + pieguyn- Seiko x Naomi

I don't agree with this. I think he'd be more than aware that he couldn't just make up a "reaction test" without following through and actually treating it like one.In post 145, borkjerfkin wrote:the way he reached out to me specifically as if i was in danger of dissecting the issue too much before people talked about it fully. I don't think scum would have cared if i did that.
I don't feel that 71 feels like a backpedal because people didn't like him jumping on the wagon, it feels like an earnest mindset.
I don't know how to better explain it. A lot of people seem to want to shoot down this townread without doing anything other than replace it with nothing substantial.
besides that, it isn't that I just want to shoot down your read for no reason; I just don't have the same sense you do at this point in the game and am hoping to 1. refine my read and make it easier for me to come to the same conclusion as you later if he is town, 2. try to interact with you to hopefully firm up my read on you some.
I think notty, no offense, has a stick up his ass about people lying when they shouldn't be or, generalized, doing things that he perceives as anti-town or bad play that they shouldn't do. he's absolutely right about a lot of things (spam posting being a huge issue for him), but he's wrong about the issue here (that lying during a mass claim is always a bad thing).In post 148, borkjerfkin wrote:
I think you should talk more about it; 87 is, by his own admission, not a legitimate claim. Why is this a slam dunk town post for you?In post 132, Seiko x Naomi wrote:second, Charl is town.

I'm pretty sure he realizes that his original point was weak in terms of scum reading Charl, but I didn't really see any reason to get in the way of it when it could generate pressure/discussion (which is something Charl himself pointed out).
anyway, about 87, it read to me as a very tongue-in-cheek way of saying "all of you people who take these claims at face value are dumb", which is a thought process that 1. strikes me as somewhat more unlikely from scum, but also 2. even if he thought along those lines as scum I don't think he'd be likely to express it by fake claiming; it'd have been a lot easier to just say as much and complain hoping to seek town cred from it.notscience + pieguyn- Seiko x Naomi

I literally was completely certain you were town, the entire game, even after I died, to the point where even when I got weirded out on Nacho I'd go back and look at your posts and go "OK bork was town" and calm down. so, forgive me. <_>
I am pretty OK with your posts so far in this game, but I'm nowhere near sure about it at this point. I do think if you're town I'll be able to figure it out with some amount of confidence eventually.notscience + pieguyn- Seiko x Naomi

I think town-him would be likely to see people claiming, think "these claims are stupid", and make up a role and fake claim it to make some fun out of the situation. I think scum-him seeing people claiming and hoping to go for a "these claims are stupid" angle likely just complains about it it straight up, tries to seek town cred discouraging people from claiming, etc, especially given he's a newer player.

I wasn't expecting you to, especially because a lot of the reason I chose to rest a few days in this game before coming in, posting where I was at and going from there was explicitly because I have that tendency to get hung up on stupid shit like I did in that game and I know how much it fucks over the game when that happens (and if it helps this is something I've had a tendency to do recently because I find it gives me much better reads, e.g. FG's recent large dance, I just did it a lot more explicitly here).
it's just, ugh.

AJ's 181 feels really forced and is very similar to the kinds of pushes I like to make when I'm scum: find some read that someone has that you can nitpick on and call them scum because "I don't see the logic behind their read" (I'm pretty sure notty remembers when I pulled this on him in a game where he was being dumb wrt a scum read on Tammy once). there are scenarios where someone does have a read that is legitimately off and is worth pushing over, but bork's read doesn't seem incongruous at all and I'm not exactly sure how he can find it so problematic that someone would believe "someone saw a jump on an RVS wagon they weren't comfortable with and freaked out over a quicklynch" as a read someone would hold, even if they disagree with it.
I'm not even 100% bork is town or anything like that, but *if* he is scum it isn't for that.notscience + pieguyn- Seiko x Naomi

two things:In post 222, borkjerfkin wrote:
I need this elaborated onIn post 194, Seiko x Naomi wrote:I also still think the post reads like a scum post tonally, but probably not as relevant of a point.
1. "so I find this post a bit odd on re-read" is a very, very, very, very weak way of stating that he feels TOB is scum/that he disagrees with your read. I think regardless of how he does it, town-him would come straight up and say something along the lines of "I disagree with bork's read" or "I don't like how they handled the Charl wagon", aka anything where he takes a firm stance either way on it. the way he did it doesn't feel like he's trying to make any wave in the game, it's really reminiscent of the kinds of posts I see scum making when they want to interject themselves into the conversation in a way that looks natural and doesn't draw too much attention onto themselves.
I don't know if I'm explaining this well at all, if I'm not let me know and I can try again. also, before you ask, yeah it is somewhat rare for me to tone read like this but I'm *usually* right about it when I do - I can link other games where I've done so if you want;
2. I hate the way he tries to use TOB's Charl read "persisting needlessly" as a reason for them being scum; I don't really think TOB having a read on Charl that has happened to not change at all throughout the game is scummy, and the way they just threw it in there without thinking through it in any depth at all or elaborating just reads like scum hoping to bullshit another reason they can add on for TOB being scum ("omg he had a read that hasn't changed, that doesn't sit well with me because... ???"). I've asked him what, specifically, about TOB's read progression comes off as disingenuous to him, no answer.
I don't really think there's any agenda behind the post beyond "I need to figure out some read I can fake", but I don't think it's a post that needed to have been made strategically, either.notscience + pieguyn- Seiko x Naomi

I didn't actually mind this, but I'm concerned about Syr for a different reason. I'm kinda on the fence whether I want to talk about it now, though (it's a kind of thing that I don't want to let him know he needs to fix if he's scum).In post 217, borkjerfkin wrote:Either way I agree this is the one thing from Syr I probably don't like - instead of analyzing the claims or writing them off as jokes he just goes into "generic well behaved townie mode" to denounce them.notscience + pieguyn- Seiko x Naomi

AJ also continues to focus almost entirely exclusively on his TOB read without paying much attention to anything else in the game (i.e. he hasn't given any stance on the wagon on me which has existed since pretty much the start of the game) - his posts across the last page now that he came back were basically him answering a direct question from S_S, and then talking about flavor and backing up the TOB read again.
also, I'm fine with S_S posts so far.notscience + pieguyn- Seiko x Naomi

That sounds like shit I'd do.
shut upIn post 206, Seiko x Naomi wrote:@S_S: I don't have a town read on Syr, but what do your reads outside of Syr look like?
On the one hand, I really like this because there's no reason he should be going after the person discrediting his wagon if he were scum. On the other hand, AJ seems like low-hanging fruit and a viable target for scum to push when they are coming into the game a few steps behind.In post 212, Shadow_step wrote:This is the pathetic attempt to make something look worse than it actually is.
When Dunn replies to him he just avoids answering it which is even worse.
I think he's more likely town, but I blatantly disagree with his syryana push.
I've been thinking about it a lot.In post 266, borkjerfkin wrote:I also pointed out 143, which as I said earlier would make a scumflip from S_S more damning of AJ.
It's such a BAD discredit.
Like
If my scumbuddy EVER did something like that they would get bussed so fucking hard it would make their head spin
Is it bad? Yes
Does it tie them together? No. I think Shadow is town unless you think the post I quoted earlier was some strange distancing thing going on.
Unless you see like AJ/S_S being worried about you/me/syry linking up and plowing through the rest of the game so they needed an early bus to get shit solved, but I really doubt I'm that big of a concern. Maybe a bus could save them in a playlist where its more about who can be the most town but this playlist has a fair amount of sketchy slots so why the fuck worry about bussing when you could chase another one?
The tl;dr of this is I don't think one flip condemns the other. If any vote on this wagon is sketchy it's TOB. By far.
Also while im thinking about it (I need to reread bc I forgot who it was) someone brought up that it was scummy for someone to vote someone that isnt their highest priority scumread
The fuck its not
You vote to lynch scum, vanity wagons are bad. mmkay. (granted, I might have to start one sometime this game BUT STILL). I don't mind people saying x is their highest level scumread and settling for Y unless it persists for multiple days with no movement from them in an attempt to turn town's viewpoint.
Kay just read up on the thread and feel like I digested nothing.
I remember feeling like bork is town.
I'd let syry have my children.
I remember there was that guy who I called out for being a dumbsmurf that I think was just bad town
Then TOB has godawful trajectory and trying to shape their behaviours to fit the model of town that they imposed on us which noone seemed to have called out. at all.
There was shadow who called out someone discrediting a wagon on him which is moronic to say the least if he's scum so he's probably town
There was AJ who sounded awkward as shit but he always kinda sounds awkward as shit. I honestly need to review his ISO and talk to pie about this some because I'm not really confident in lynching him at all. I'd much rather be on avanityTOB wagon.
Obvious Alt is sketchy as fuck. The read on Charloux in particular just bugs the hell out of me- On the one hand, they mention how this player has too much experience to be derping around then thinks they fall for one of the classic blunders? It's textbook negging and it's textbook SKETCH.
But one thing I will note is I feel like both anon alts are scum which probably means I'm wrong on one.
dunnstral apparently thinks we are scum because both pie and I have lives outside of this game and because I called out someone's poor theory? lol. I skimmed the ISO of the game AJ linked andit looked familiarI can kinda see the point he's making but his iso alone makes me feel so yucky.
Scum-me would claim an antitown role.In post 215, borkjerfkin wrote:Instead we got 91. Town makes 91.
I don't like it at all. If even one of the three players in this anon hydra is remotely experienced enough they would have known to have claimed IMMEDIATELY in their first post. (That being said, dunnstrall is also guilty of this, but I still like AJ's meta standpoint) I don't necessarily buy their claim, to me it reminds me of Disney UPick where my other heads were posting and I found a bullshit way to push a D1 wagon and came in guns blazing and iirc I had some offhand reason /they/ didn't bring it up. So I suppose my real thing is here, I don't buy this. At all.

I disagree, I feel like what he said outlined some of my misgivings too. Particularly how obv alt has a scumread on you as of page 7- I explicitly went back and double checked. You had all of three posts prior to page seven, and one was the post she linked. None of them seemed remotely alignment indicative, imo, so her trying to pass it off as such is weird. And avoiding commenting on the more prominent posters (particularly when its not even fluffposting) is strange too.In post 331, Shadow_step wrote:I think AJ is just manufacturing reasons to SR Ob Alt, he's on l-2 and thinks that he needs to make a counter wagon and Ob Alt looks the best bet right now.
Also, the way they reacted to AJ's pressure (that aj called out) is sketchy too. It looks like scum who is stressed because people didn't believe their reads, then realizedwhodid not believe their reads and realized it was better to act indignant.
Its really kneejerk and weird.
Suppose AJ is town, and know he is town. Does he know Obv Alt's alignment- anyone's alignment other than his own? Isn't a 1/4 (again, assuming he is town from his vantage point) chance in finding scum in a lynch better than a 0%?In post 331, Shadow_step wrote:I think AJ is just manufacturing reasons to SR Ob Alt, he's on l-2 and thinks that he needs to make a counter wagon and Ob Alt looks the best bet right now.
The gist of what I am trying to say is that Obv Alt IS sketchy, but if AJ is town, he KNOWS he is town whereas he can't say the same about the rest of the playerlist. So to that point, I don't particularly mind what he did.
To be frank, the only reason I'm still voting him is bc I don't feel like messing with pie's vote before we have a chance to talk about shit because I am not remotely confident in an AJ lynch at all.
What about them makes you townread them?In post 337, Syryana wrote:I'm open to a TOB-alogue with you notty
Like I will admit my initial thoughts regarding their push on you was bad town but at the same time, I really did not like their jump on the AJ wagon (they are the one vote on the wagon that I really do not like at all) because it essentially boils down to them sheeping another player before said other player has even placed a vote. It shows a lack of thinking for themselves which is one thing if its just one player (its not good then either) but another thing entirely if it seems like multiple heads agree on the front of sheeping bork without anything else substantial to add?
And I *really* don't like the "chaos" they ensue because it feels off and I understand part of this could be tonality from masking a main account but it seems like chaos for the sake of chaos, because it was brought up earlier.
And the last thing is their day one claim thing which I outlined before, I fail to see why scum wouldn't claim anti-town roles in order to gain towncred (or even fakeclaim a role that deters them from being targetted altogether). Yes, the role claimed was antitown but the gist of it was do not target me. There is plenty of motive for scum to claim a role like that, and I don't believe this whole "we didn't know the right time to claim" business, because if you /actually/ have an antitown role your first priority is to alert the town. I refuse to believe a hydra of three people does not have even ONE who brought this up.
I mean don't we all? You know I have my flair for that stuff too. But I'm not convinced it's not just a front to keep people from attempting to/being able to read deeper, along with what I've mentioned before.In post 348, borkjerfkin wrote:TOB (notty i'm willing to engage on this but you've got a lot of convincing to do, I think you're seeing orchestration that isn't there and bubbles just likes to be really dramatic and silly)Also have thoughts re the wagon that I'm sitting on.

S_S is town, I think; his point on Dunn re: scum WK'ing a town player in order to leave them for a later mislynch makes a lot of sense given it is pretty much exactly what Dunn did in our last game with him (successfully). I have a lot of reservations about Dunn's play here even outside of how he's approaching AJ, too.
the scum pool I'm working with atm is {AJ, OA, Dunn}. I'm hoping to reconvene with notty sometime soon and work out the reads we disagree on.

AJ is sending off really obvious scum signals to me, and I don't really think "AJ is just always awkward" is an excuse for it. I think what I'm seeing about him falls outside of that and if you're up for it, I'd like to go through his posts with you and talk about what I'm seeing/why you think his body of work looks town and whether I'm wrong to think this.In post 433, borkjerfkin wrote:Im awake a little longer

I don't give the slightest fuck about whether you think "it matters" or not. I'm asking for a very specific reason that I don't want to out until after you've answered the question.In post 455, Dunnstral wrote:I've thought they were town. I probably mentioned it near the beginning. I don't see where you got that from. And again, why it matters
can you explain in more detail why you've had a town read on them? I've seen that you declared it earlier, now that I looked again, but I don't see any reason given for it anywhere.notscience + pieguyn- Seiko x Naomi

Let me explain very carefully what that post was.
I am town. The town's crayons have been breaking . No one sees that it is TOB! I point out that TOB is the big bad crayon breaker. Then TOB tries to flip around and say NO U. TOB can't tell you why he says it is me. I have told you why it is him. I ask him to square up and face me! After all, TOB seems happy with sheep after sheep. Maybe if they have to step up and provide proof, people will finally see they are the big bad crayon breaker!notscience + pieguyn- Seiko x Naomi

I want to give AJ until tomorrow to see if he does anything with the flips we get, but I am respecting pie's vote and wishes to discuss it further with you.
I refuse to lynch syry or you
AJ's meta on dunn looks concrete, granted it was one game but I haven't had time to search for more, he looks like spamposty scum-me in that game which is vastly different from his play here
Charl is testing my patience
I think the wagon on shadow is stupid as shit
so that leaves me comfortable lynching
Charl or OA should we not agree on TOB.

Things I don't like about TOB:
Their first non-sheep vote (outside of RVS) comes after I call them out on having predominantly sheep votes.
I think that one head is trying to assert chaos=town while the other head plays chaotically and attempts to portray bad town.
The OMGUS on me was laughable at best.
They did not claim anti-town roles in their first post. I refuse to believe NONE of them knew how to behave with an anti-town role. I understand that there are several different methods for which to use anti-town roles but I can't think of a single one that delays a claim just to claim before scum can be tricked into killing them/whatever. If anything their claim sounds like they are just scared of being targeted.
So no.notscience + pieguyn- Seiko x Naomi

can you hang on for another day, please?
I'm writing a post to you about why I think AJ is scum, I meant to do it earlier but I was just in a shitty mood all day so I never got around to it (my fault). I don't know exactly how long it'll take, so we might not be able to *really* talk until tomorrow, but either way I'd like if you could wait for me.
for the record, if you see my post and you still really don't want it, I would feel much, much more comfortable with an OA lynch over an S_S one.
also, I don't have a super-strong town read on Syr or anything but he is not in the set of people I want to make dead todaynotscience + pieguyn- Seiko x Naomi

I'm basically just going to go through AJ's ISO from the top and go through everything that I don't like in order.
181 still feels really bad to me, for the same reason I pointed out before: tonally, it read strongly like a scum post to me.
I didn't like his response to me in 231, mostly because I don't really buy that he had absolutely no scum reads at that point in the game.
I thought 317 was completely terrible, for a whole bunch of reasons. the first paragraph of the post actually just reads like a straight up discredit; he clarified in subsequent posts that he wasn't taking our read as a meta read, so it's basically just him attempting to throw out an excuse along the lines of "these people haven't played with me in forever so they shouldn't be able to have any read on me". the second paragraph of the post was him directly calling the post where I called his focus off "bullshit", which is mostly notable because it doesn't fall in line with what he does later (which I'll get into later).
I also thought the read he gave on OA was really terrible: all it is is him just nitpicking on her reads and inventing reasons that "she shouldn't be having the reads that she has". I don't really think saying "you shouldn't give up the town read on bork just because he's good as scum" makes any amount of sense; OA's mindset with regard to her read on you was perfectly fine (and I know I can say this because I've had games like FF where even though you had a lot of posts I just kinda hazed out and couldn't see anything town because "he could fake all of them easily enough"). then we have "Syr shouldn't be your strongest town read" with no further justification for it at all, but I think the worst thing there is how he criticized the S_S read, since there were plenty of angles he could have pushed there that would have actually been legitimate; OA's reasoning for her read on S_S is actually pretty awful (and her read there is pretty much the major issue I have with her slot at this point in the game), yet AJ completely misses it and instead nitpicks based around "you shouldn't have such a strong read on S_S and no read on the people with more posts", which is an angle that's far easier to push as scum since he doesn't have to directly call out OA's read for what it is.
for what it's worth, notty specifically told me he disagrees about this point: he thinks his OA read at least is reasonable.
next, there's 338 ~ 345. at this point, he very clearly thinks I'm just making up my read on him, but the thing is, he's done absolutely nothing to actually push me over it. usually, if you think someone is outright making up a read on you, you would be all over it trying to call them out for it, show everyone else that they're making up the read on you, and generally just not let them get away with it. he isn't doing anything like this, he just continues to nitpick about OA's reads. this, to me, indicates that he didn't actually believe his response to me and that he just thought that he had to call my read on him "bullshit" to make it look less credible - he isn't pushing us because we're very clearly town and he can't figure out any way to get away with actually pushing us without making himself look like obvious scum. I also just generally think there's a complete lack of pointed questioning directed to *both* of me or OA - none towards me and only the one post to OA.
396 is another post where I'd expect something a lot more direct than what he actually did - again, there is no pointed questioning here, it reads really deflective (the same way his 231 to me did).
431 read as off to me because again, his focus is all off: he supposedly has me who is making up a read on him, and OA who he apparently feels strongly enough is scum that he berates Syr for being on him over her, but again, there's no real pointed questioning to either of us, he just keeps going on about other things (i.e. associatives in this post).
notty and I still don't *really* agree on this read - from what he's told me, he thinks that AJ is a slower player who needs flips to really be able to get going in the game and he wants to give him until D2 and see what he does before launching a serious push on him. he also thinks AJ is largely town hunting and doesn't take as much issue with his lack of any concrete push, but I don't agree with this at all (since he clearly has at least tried to express a major scum read on OA).
I don't really think "he's always awkward" is an excuse for any of this, since a lot of his play seems very clearly scum motivated to me independent of "awkwardness", so I'd like if you could walk me through what I'm missing here.notscience + pieguyn - Seiko x Naomi
