I'm about as serious as I could be at this point, Invis. Voting on policy for behaviors outside this game seems like the most pro-scum thing so far, plus I wanted to start building a wagon since everyone was splitting the votes.

Math's proposal obviously wasn't "serious," it's RVS, but that doesn't change the fact that his suggestion was pro-scum and that made it a decent place to vote to get discussion going.

I'm not sure what to make of Skitter's response. I find it a bit scummy that he'd jump on the obvious while refusing to admit that his comment defended Math. And his hostility towards my desire to build a wagon instead of splitting votes is odd.

I always dive in this soon, and often catch scum in the first couple pages and everything. No reason to delay hunting.

In post 44, Mathdino wrote:The point is Shoshin was mislynched for being bad at town
I strongly disagree with this. It wasn't my best game but I wasn't mislynched because I was bad, I was mislynched because a townie who believed I was town investigated me guilty and there wasn't anything I could do to convince players who thought I my behaviors were town to ignore the result. If Mumble had claimed jailkeeper, that game could have gone very differently.

If Mumble had claimed, it would have explained the guilty result away. Then maybe I wouldn't have been mislynched. And I was voting Havo (scum) at that point in the game, so who knows? It could have been a very different game if not for Mumble trying to be a lone hero.

Skitter didn't townread Math. And I didn't really "obsess" over anything. So that's a pretty strange way to read the game.

I asked Skitter some questions and then I asked Naucy some questions. What's the "strange transition"?

Stun's kinda overreacting and his "scumhunting" in is pretty superficial. Looks like Stun didn't like that I scumread him, decided to scumread me, and then read my posts trying to make a scumread work. Doesn't seem like Stun's actually given my alignment (or Skitter's) much thought, yet somehow comes out townreading Keyser based on Keyser's analysis of my interaction with Skitter? Thoughts?

I didn't like Stun initially because his town felt really awkward in his opening posts, and after skimming his town games, I felt something was off. His play since has a better tone but that's probably because he's upset about getting voted, so I dunno how to read that. I'm curious what others think.

I don't know what you mean by "direction." The questions were "directed" at Stun and Math, I'm trying to sort their alignments, and I think the answers to my questions will help me do that. I still don't get what confuses you about "direction" when the questions were about very specific things that Stun and Math have done.

I like to lynch scum on D1 and anything less feels like a failure to me.

Bernie's tough to read. Lots of nothingness but there's a hint of town in the way he helped me pressure Stun but then switched onto Invis because he couldn't maintain the farce. Even if Bernie's really strong as scum, I'm not sure he'd express that sentiment while switching his vote onto obvious lynchbait. So probably not lynching Bernie today.

I'm varying degrees of town on Math, Invis, Key, Mom, and Irrelephant. Stun's a weaker read but for the moment happy to put aside. So I'm thinking we need to sort out Gamma, NSG, Skitter, Nauci, and the worst.

why exactly for the record?
I'm only saying this because it reminds me of when I townread lovebird one time for somewhat comparable townread/paranoia/elsewhere progression (except it was harder; my thought was why bother faking that strange progression?)
Yes, that's part of it. Also:

158 shows a very clear and natural thought process for town to have - "oh, Sho is town but I disagree with her because it looks like it's more of a misunderstanding" - but it's also a thought process that's pretty foreign to scum and not easy to fake. Scum usually express agreement with someone when townreading them, or disagreement when scumreading. But disagreement coupled with townreading in a situation where that's a perfectly natural thought process is pretty difficult to fake.

168 shows some natural second-guessing that town tend to have in these types of situations.

169 reflects some of the thoughts I was having about Gemini at the time and that I'm sure a lot of town would have when figuring out who to vote. I think scum would have jumped onto someone that was already being voted at this point instead of pursuing something new.

I get why thinking about the game in terms of what's possible instead of what's probable feels scummy, but coupled with Key's genuinely inquisitive tone it actually feels pretty town to me. I also thought he was genuinely confused by my early play in a way that scum wouldn't openly admit, and I also get the sense that Key was genuinely excited about getting into the scumhunting part of the game so quickly.

Skitter, the gimmick isn't alignment indicative nor is Math's desire to keep it up in the face of some minor opposition. I'm having trouble understanding what you think about the game in the big picture. Who are your top 3 scum and town?

Math's post where he agreed with my townread on Key was very townie in light of our interactions up to that point, particularly the "hate to admit" language. That emotion, "fuck, I can't believe I agree with this guy whose play I've just spent a few posts attacking," is pretty hard to fake and suggests that Math's read was genuine, not the result of an informed perspective. And his townread on Stun followed pretty naturally from the townread on Key. There's other things but those two are more than enough to townread Math.

What's the bang? 39 isn't even "try hard," so Mom's interpretation is a bit of a stretch. She's right that Invis has a seemingly-helpful-but-not-doing-much style but that's just how he plays.

I had Mom as town for similar reasons to Irrelephant, as well as her answer to my question in 163. Her play was also consistent with her town meta so nothing to worry about.

I didn't say you should "clear" Invis because of meta, I said you shouldn't scumread him for things that aren't scummy for him to do. How would you feel if someone called you scummy because of things that you do in every game as town? You'd think that person was scumreading you for things that aren't scummy, right? Apply that same logic to Invis.

I don't see the harm in speculating about the scumteam on D1. As I said before, I intend to lynch scum on D1 and part of doing that includes analyzing potential teams as corroborative evidence.

Re: the worst - it's partly poe, partly Gemini replacing out, and partly the worst's posts having a scum agenda and feeling fake - the "mind meld" with Gemini especially felt fake, the townlean on Skitter and null on Nauci makes lots of sense as partner interactions given my other reads, the strong townread on Bernie didn't really make sense and feels like the worst is trying to emulate his town meta of having at least someone he reads as strong town, and then lots of overall weak nothing reads everywhere else. I think someone said that Key was scummy for leaving avenues open but that's actually what I see the worst doing, especially about the easily lynchable players (e.g. Mom, Gamma, Invis).

i don't know what your townreads have to do with this. it's a list of consensus-scummy players. it's very safe.
You think my reads are "safe"? That's just wrong. I've clearly stuck my neck out in defending certain players who aren't perceived as town (e.g. Mom/Irrelephant), and I've given some strong townreads on players who aren't perceived as strong town (e.g. Math/Irrelephant), so why interpret my reads as "safe" instead of "maybe there's something to this because all the likely townies are coming to a consensus"?

Skitter's scumread on Math is pretty fucking bad, and given her recent concern about "safe" reads, I'm thinking it's an attempt to appear "non-safe." I find it hard to believe that town Skitter lists Math as scummier than her null reads.

I didn't say NSG was scummy. I said she's scum if my scumreads flip town, because that still leaves her as null when compared my townreads, making NSG scum by poe. What's the flaw in that approach? What "pre-conceived notions" are clouding my judgment?

In post 550, skitter30 wrote:here too: you start off assuming he's town, check his meta, don't see anything to contradict that assumption, so you keep him as town.

are you actually successful at cold-meta-reading people? (do you often ignore questions? It's very hard getting you to answer things directed straight at you)

You basically have pre-concieved notions and you're finding evidence that fits instead of the other way around.
This is also incorrect.

I read Mom as town based on actual behaviors in this game, not based on an assumption, and I checked her meta to make sure I wasn't completely off. What that means is I read her town games and scum games and I was looking to prove myself wrong about her in this game. I was unable to do so, becaus what I found is that her play here is consitent with her play in town games and actually slightly different from her play in scum games. This is the opposite of "finding evidence that fits instead of the other way around." I started null on her, found behaviors that I liked (e.g. push on Invis and response to my question in 163), and then I checked her meta to try proving myself wrong just in case I was getting ahead of myself.

Yes, I often ignore silly questions because it's a pretty good way to see how much the player cares about a silly question. I've caught scum this way more than once.

Right. I'm not looking for teams. I'm looking for townies and for scumbags.

Then, I check whether the emerging picture of the game makes any sense by seeing if the three scummiest players make sense as a team. This last step is called corroboration if the team makes sense. Sometimes, the team doesn't make sense and I have to reevaluate the reads themselves.

This sounds like a reason to townread Irrelephant, so I don't really get the scumread here.

I find it hard to believe that Nauci "wants to townread" Irrelephant yet doesn't. She observes differences between his play here and his play as scum, she says his play as scum is strong and his play here weak, but she scumread him for that? He's been pretty careless this game and a lot less calculated with his posting than he was as scum, so why would someone who wants to townread him instead scumread him? I get the feeling that Nauci's faking the scumread and she keeps saying that she wants to townread (i.e. the opposite of what she's actually doing) to hide her actual intent (i.e. faking a scumread).

Skitter's town btw, willing to bank a lot on that. I need to reread because I think I'm going wrong somewhere and need to reevaluate some things with a new perspective of Skitter as town.

I dunno about those votes on Nauci. Her recent posts aren't so bad.

I think Stun might be scum. The whole "here's my answers to the questions I'm asking" shtick feels like an attempt to get read as town more than an attempt to scumhunt. His reads feel kinda fake, especially his degree of certainty that certain players are town (e.g. Key). And his approach to the game feels too unfocused to come from town; it doesn't seem like he's ever really trying to pin down anyone's alignment with his questions or follow-up.

I dunno. There's some townie things in his posting too. I think we really need to see an example of his scum play to get a better sense of what he's capable of.

Bernie? 133, 135, 141, 142, 173, and 174 are all pretty townie. As i said before, I especially liked the way that he joined me on Stun but then switched onto Invis becuase he couldn't keep up the farce of voting someone he didn't actually find scummy. The entirety of that sequence of posts felt very town. And following those early posts, there's been a very natural thought process and a lot of progression in his reads, as seen in 187, 266, 323, 375, 388.

Sure it was weird, but Gemini was engaging before she ghosted. It doesn't seem like no one had taken into consideration that she replaced out because of IRL reasons and it didn't seem like anyone looked for proof in other games she might be in.

That being said, duck has 30 pages to read to catch up on and that's not an easy feat
I could care less about the replacement. Duck's posts feel spiritless, and as I said before, the whole "mind meld" with Gemini felt fake.

It makes his slot look town, or at least that's what scum might think it'd do. Though I don't think scum always have a specific intent to their lies, sometimes they're just trying to hide their alignment and they end up saying things they didn't mean to because they were too focused on not letting people know their alignment. Like, I could imagine the worst replacing into a scum slot, immediately going into denial over the fact, and sort of reacting to that by spinning a lie about how he mind melded before replacement. Then when he gets questioned about it, he's like, oh, fuck, I shouldn't have said that, there's not actually much to mind meld with.

Even this way of defending himself is bullshit. I call something fake, and his response is, "you don't know me well enough to know it's fake." He's not even denying that it's fake... instead he just wants to discredit me...

Nauci, your case boils down to, "Irrelephant did X as scum, he's doing X here, therefore he's scum." It's not a very strong argument.

Like, Skitter, assume for a moment that Irrelephant's scum who knows that you're town and that I'm town. Why would he encourage you to townread me instead of sitting back and letting your paranoia fester? The last thing scum want is for two townies who suspect each other to suddenly start trusting each other and working together.

Not playing games with Invis anymore. That's a fucked up reason to replace out.

As much as I, too, am frustrated, I would like to ask that you guys keep discussion of the replace out reasons to only game related content. This isn't going to be like a "strike" or anything, but I want to stop discussion of not playing with others immediately. That is a personal choice and this is not the place to discuss that.

As a matter of theory, I think town tend to talk about "phrasing" more than scum (points in Irrelephant's favor) and I strongly disagree Nauci's "theory" 'that "phrasing" doesn't matter (it's actually provable that people unconsciously use different "phrasing" for the same ideas when you change their perspective (i.e. whether they're informed or uinformed about what they're saying)).

Nauci, that isn't helpful. I've already read those posts and they don't contain an answer to my question. I'd like you to tell me the specific posts that make Irrelephant more likely to be scum. You can list them out. And then tell me exactly what about those posts increases the probability that he's scum in this game without reference to his previous game as scum.

And you're welcome to look at others, but I'm working on figuring out Irrelephant right now and I'd like your help to do so.

Nauci, I started writing up a response to your analysis but I don't have time for this right now.

In short, this is the problem I have. You're telling me why it's possible that Irrelephant's scum by telling the story of scum Irrelephant deploying an elaborate scum agenda to delegitmize strong players, protect others, pocket me, etc. That's all fine.

But there's no analysis as to why your narrative is more likely than a town Irrelephant one. Why do you think he's delegitmizing rather than simply critical of what they're saying? Why is he pocketing rather than correctly defending/townreading? Why's he scum pushing a scum agenda rather than a clueless townie who believes what he's saying?

I'm open to what you're saying but I just don't see any analysis of what makes Irrelephant more likely to be scum.

Incorrect. That’s how I play and everyone yells at me saying I’m a surface level player. Town doesn’t always pro-town things. Town sometimes does pro-scum things. Scum doesn’t always do pro-scum things.
I'm not talking in general. I'm talking specifically about NM.

Gustavo was in both games. He should know better than to vote me here. The way he's misrepresenting what I'm saying shows a pretty strong desire to characterize my play in the worst possible light. No way he's town here.

Don't make me wait please, I don't have patience for this lol... telling me about it isn't going to change how I played in that game so you have nothing to worry about.

If you actually read Tropical, you'll see that I voted without any reasons (twice on Rampage on D1 and then Invis on D2) and people even gave me shit about it. But seems like I gave more reasoning in that game I remembered when voting Mumble/Havo, so whatever.

Gustavo's playing absurdly aggressive - not sure what to make of it because his play as town didn't look anything like this but neither did his play as scum.

Whoever described Gustavo as too black-and-white is dead on though - that's pretty obvious from the way he's talking about NM. Gustavo's embarasssing himself right now with all his assumptions.

Interesting note - putting aside my compromise vote on Invis at the end of D2, mostly to avoid getting lynched myself, my last two votes (Gustavo/Havo) were on scum. So close to figuring that game out :(

Alright, if town has to work together, why aren't you working with me? You're the one who came out gun slinging without any attempt to understand what I'm saying or why I voted the way I did. Everything you've done from the moment you've entered this game has been needlessly aggressive towards me, and your questions aimed toward scumreading me, not towards sorting me.

As you know from Tropical, I don't always state my reasons for voting. So why ask this question?
Because I want your reason.
Here was me saying I want your reason.

You haven’t provided one still.
Yeah, I interpreted this as you wanting an answer to why I voted Nauci without any reason, not you wanting an answer to the question of why I voted Nauci. Maybe if you asked less aggressive, more clear questions, you'd get the answers you're looking for.

Gustavo's "non-aggressive" question: "Why did you vote nauci immediately after math did with absolutely no reason for it and hardly any mention of him prior?"

The question Gustavo says he wanted an answer to: "Why did you originally vote Nauci?"

I though the qualification, "with absolutley no reason for it and hardly any mention of him prior" was a very aggressive way to ask the question, so aggressive in fact that I didn't even think he was asking why I voted Nauci, I thought he was asking why I voted without reasoning.

Gustavo doesn't want to talk with me anymore because he's "convinced" that I'm scum, so maybe someone can ask him why he added those qualifications to his question.

It's curious that the first thing Gustavo does when entering the thread is ignore Stun's thoughts, look at the biggest wagon, decide the wagon is on town, and thus start questioning the votes on that player. I'm trying to picture this thought process - "Ignore thoughts of someone I know is town, assume biggest wagon in the game is on town, and thus question votes on biggest wagon" - as a town one. Struggling to see it. But input from others would be appreciated because I'm biased here.

I never townread Stun the same way others have but I'm unsure what to think about Gus. I'm thinking a couple things.

One, he just played as scum in Tropical and his approach in that game was to jump onto opportunistic wagons but rarely start them. His play here is different on that score. But when you compare this to his play as town in Scientific, it looks nothing like it. He never had much confidence in his reads there, asked for input from others, and didn't push anything aggressively like this.

Two, his scumhunting approach here seems to be looking for the same sort of behavior that he exhibited as scum (i.e. looking for opportunistic behaviors) and that's sort of townie on his part. , so he's looking at who jumped onto the Nauci wagon (e.g. me, Mom, etc.). The approach makes sense given the way he played as scum, but it also assumes that Nauci is town and that bugs me.

The other problem with Gus is that his confidence that I'm scum feels entirely fake in the same way it felt fake in Tropical. He was so sure in Tropical that I was scum that he "townread" Invis because I suspected him. That overconfidence was really scummy because it showed that his read was fake. Here, he's over-the-top confident that I'm scum again in a way that doesn't make much sense. And when you compare to his play as town, there's nothing close to that level of confidence.

But then again, his thought process is absurdly black-and-white and maybe that's just the way he thinks. Dismissing the value of D1 and dismissing NM's style despite others actually having success reading NM are the hallmarks of someone who is so blindingly confident in themselves that anything they don't personally understand is dismissed as incapable of being understood by others.

Wat
I'd say I've been one of the leaders in this game even if you haven't felt that way. Leadership isn't exclusive to one player and this town has a number of players who play as leaders - and just so you know, part of leading is knowing when to let others lead so if you're just looking for someone that others are sheeping that's not really what Mom was talking about.

Skitter, I didn't lie about anything. Gus thinks I lied because I said I voted without providing any reasoning in Tropical and he's in denial about the reality that I did in fact vote without reasoning in Tropical. I think Irrelephant cleared this up earlier.

ok thank you because i still wasn't sure what the lie was

i really don't think this is significant or like ai at all
Yeah, pretty much. Even if I had lied (which I didn't), it's not even scummy. Like, what's he think I'm trying to hide? But he's got one of those black-and-white mindsets that assumes any lie is scummy without any further analysis, so I don't think there's much point arguing with him about it.

But I feel like a large majority of them are kinda just sitting in the middle and when he does take a stance he does this weird "eh what do I know thing" like in post 375 .

Making it easier to brush it off as oversight or some othet thing. Something I see scum do constantly, something I'm always noting (like I did in implos large game as well in a few games in my old account).

It's subtle tell that people have thought me crazy to point out but has outstanding accuracy.
I think that's a good point about the "eh what do I know" pattern. I agree that it's a strong tell (as much as I try not to, I always end up doing it as scum myself) but townies do it too and you have to read it in light of everything else. He's got strong hints of town plus a couple questionable patterns so not really who I want to lynch today unless everyone else suddenly becomes more town than him.

@Nauci

For me, leading is about figuring out what we need to do to win as a team and doing my best to get everyone moving in that direction. It's not about saying, "hey let's lynch this person," it's about getting the right people to come together to discuss things in a way that makes it very difficult for scum to avoid getting caught and then from that point working together to figure out who the scum are. It's also about knowing when to follow others and when to push things yourself.

In terms of my play, I'd say from the start I got things moving out of RVS and have been pretty strongly trying to work with everyone to develop some sort of consensus on who the townies/scum are, more so than anyone else in this game.

So many options of who to vote and he chooses Gamma? I dunno. If Gamma's town, it's pretty meaningless, but if he's scum, it's a pretty strong indication that NM's town. If he were scum, he could have hung around without placing a vote. He could have waited to quickhammer Gamma and try to fake a town-tell. But putting him at L-2 where he's unlikely to get much town cred is precisely the point where scum NM doesn't vote for scum.

Nauci, I'm guessing you don't have experience with NM but trust me when I say that pressuring him for more content is an exercise in futility. I understand that you don't want me answering for others but that's not what I'm doing; what I did is offer a read on NM based on the available information and then briefly discuss that read with Skitter.

Nauci, I'm not discouraging you or anyone else from asking questions. But when someone asks a question that doesn't seem to have much scumhunting direction, it sparks my interest and sometimes that leads to a comment. What were you hoping to gain by knowing how Mom defines "leader"? How is her answer helping you sort her?

As for NM, I've been successful at reading NM in the past on the basis of a few posts, and in reviewing his games I've found him fairly easy to distinguish as town/scum. I also don't think it's fair to encourage NM to change how he plays when there's nothing wrong with his approach to the game.

Here's some mafia theory for you: There's pros and cons to NM's style. One of the pros is that by giving us so little information to work with, every piece of information tells us a lot about what NM finds imoprtant enough to comment on. And that makes him very readable as both alignments if you know how to think through his votes/commentary. But it also means you have to put in the work to read the meaning in each of his posts and that's what I was doing.

Irrelephant, I didn't think that post was that townie, it felt like the sort of thing scum who knows you're town would read it. I didn't like EP's post, felt scummy to me.

36 seems to be asking whether I ever open games as scum by bussing teammates.

Irrelephant is right that Key's question implies that I could be scum here even if I lynch scum on D1.
