Ok, let's start the case:
Page 1- Something that caught my attention was's entry in posts 5 and 6, considering that I don't think that comedic comments are necessarily healthy for the game's development, but as I have seen in other games, this is not, as a rule, an attitude that indicates alignmen (so ignoring).AaronFrostalso enters this ''sphere'' with posts 15,16,17 and 18. In contrast, Creative's engagement in post 10 and Hectic's spontaneability in post 23 are two positive points for this start.Emperor flippyNips
Page 2- Post 27 fromInsomniais precipitate, considering the lack of content to support such a statement. Posts 37-40 have votes basically instinctive. Post 49 from Hectic intends to mischaracterize the confident message of Creative, demoting it to the term ''Lamist''(scum point). Post 32 fromCreativedoesn't make sense when he employs the''confrontational side''to accuseHectic(scum point).
Page 3- Post 58 fromAmeseems fine, I didn't see anything suggestive in the content. Post 72 fromLuca Blightcommon sense (townpoint). Post 73 fromAmeis scummy.
Page 4- Post 91 from Luca Blight is, again, common sense (townpoint).
Page 5- Post 109 fromLuca Blightmakes me put him as locktown. Post 114 fromAmeis interpretive. Post 115 from AaronFrost is good (townpoint). Clash betweenWimpyandAmeis not suggestive.
Page 6 - More clash.
Page 7 - Clash continues.
Page 8 - Insomnia is locktown.
Page 9 -Amestarting to seem less scummy.
Locktown:Luca Blight,Insomnia
Indicative town:Aaron Frost,Ame.
Unsure:Emperor flippyNips,Dsjstr,Hectic,Wimpy.- clidd

I see.In post 255, insomnia wrote:
My point was that he can't be scum with him because scum have a chat in which they talk so there's no way Wimpy would mix up Creative's name with Creature if they were partners, which is another player on this site. And I don't believe wimpy's that good of a player to orchestrate an anti-spew like that if scum.In post 250, clidd wrote:Page 2 - Post 27 from Insomnia is precipitate, considering the lack of content to support such a statement- clidd

Ame's tone and not really panicking when on L-1 feels towny, but her internal thought process is all over the place on stuff like moving Luca from town to scum, or voting for insomnia after describing him as almost locktown.
211 is really towny though. Hard for scum to fabricate a flowing thought process like that.
At what point in this thought process did the insomnia vote come in?In post 212, Ame wrote:In your case, I did get an initial town impression from you, and having ~3 scum leans in a 2-scum game I felt comfortable enough working with that, and that if you were scum, it would show in time through your reads (i.e. if they started to radically diverge and I couldn't follow your thought process). I had a bit of doubt from your Aaron push because Aaron seemd pretty town to me, and at the time of Wimpy's antagonizing explanation, I felt you were worth exploring. What I thought to be a sudden change in your Aaron read was suspicious to me, but looking at you closer I saw that you did actually express those thoughts before. This made me feel a lot better and it was consistent with my thinking that town somni = similar reads. When I went to bed, my only lingering concern was your Wimpy read (I had intended to question it when I was back), and even that was addressed on its own. So, overall, yea I do TR you.
Why does insomnia need to replace me specifically? Or was I just your 3rd strongest read?In post 231, Emperor flippyNips wrote:maybe it is insomnia instead of hectic... hmmmm
clidd's 250: Like this overall but don't like how easily you're locktowning people. Why can't Wimpy use that meta against you as scum?
This is very interesting. What gave you the impression there were 3 scum in the game, clidd?In post 256, clidd wrote:Three scum are in the unsafe pool.
Mindmelding with most of insomnia's reads. Agree on Ame/Aaron being town.
Doro actually giving out scumreads and pushing people is a very good sign for him.
VOTE: Flippo
Flippo's posted a lot but nothing's pinged me as town (other than the Harry Potter GiFs near the start which were top tier quality).
What'd you think of clidd's wall, Flippo? And has your read on Ame changed since wanting to quicklynch her?
I'm considering the scenario where there are 3 scums, because of what I've read so far.- clidd

Is this information confirmed ? I still have the impression that there are three scums. Yes, basically this.In post 314, Hectic wrote:
3 scum is imbalanced for town for a 9 player game. Even 11 player games usually have 2 scum. Are you saying 3 scum because too many people were acting scummy in your eyes?In post 308, clidd wrote:I'm considering the scenario where there are 3 scums, because of what I've read so far.- clidd

It seems that you misinterpreted my read's intention. Common sense, in this context, are suggestively basic attitudes or actions, with simple reasoning based on evidence or a series of information that, when linked, form a certain conclusion that is beyond the reach of possible scums, being more easily performed by towns, precisely for the intuitive behavioral authenticity, which I used to subjectively evaluate the set of posts I quoted about you. Evidently, when a fragment is separated from them, it is not possible, however, to understand the general meaning, therefore, isolating post 67 the way it was done in this post is something that significantly distances it from the proper interpretation and, consequently, contributed to the structuring of a line of thought that fits me, obviously, as extreme scum from your point of view. Possibly the two games we played in, had a greater impact on your decision making about my possible alignment placement here, if we do not consider my distance from the beginning of the game. This is problematic, considering that you are locktown to me, even though you are mistaken in most of your considerations. I believe that an approach to this, imagining myself in your place, will not be effective in changing your opinion, so I will probably be ignoring you in this game.In post 352, Luca Blight wrote:250 - I don't really get why Clidd has me as lock town for the posts he linked. Why would you TR someone for common sense?
And how is the post below common sense or even town-indicative?

How about I just see the act as disgusting and technically a violation of site rules and because of that she doesn’t deserve to play. I personally scum read the act. If nobody else does that’s fine.- clidd

I'm being more direct in this game, because I wanted to see how far Wimpy's "anger" would go. A scum would not come out that way. You're unsure by PoE.In post 405, Hectic wrote:Clidd, I don't understand your solving process this game. How did you go from Wimpy "unsure" to Wimpy "locktown" because he requested a replacement? What? The reads I'm used to seeing from you usually aren't as shallow as the reasons you're locktowning Wimpy/Luca.

I think dsjstr is Town as well. Hectic is a decent option, although I need to review.clidd, why'd you unvote on Luca's request here? Can't town be wrong about their reads? Luca was scumreading you before this, and from your perspective, you should know he's wrong about that, so why trust him on Flippo being town?

Thanks.In post 478, insomnia wrote:My point on the clidd read was that scum wouldn't have taken that approach and even less so state the read if they couldn't associate it with something in the thread. If they couldn't explain a read, they would've abstained completely from stating it, or they wouldn't have looked for a reason such as that one to give it. That reason leaves little room for wiggle and kind of ties him to that read whereas just saying "i feel bad about your posts / you post scummy" leaves himself wiggle room.
whatever it's a good read i just don't know how to explain it i'm dumb- clidd

It depends on how this chain of events took place. Anger in one game can also reflect in other games, so i will keep my ''townlock''. And yes, I am far from playing normal. Generally, games like this, with a lot of "noise" do not prompt me to look any further. Of course, this may change as the number of players is reduced.In post 480, Hectic wrote:You're saying scum wouldn't fake a read which they couldn't explain, right? But clidd stated a read... and explained it. I'm not sure what you mean. Also, clidd's default is having reasons like that for reads, and that is one of his good ones. But the townlocking thing and confidence there is what concerns me. I don't think it's natural to go from "unsure" to "townlock" on Wimpo on a replace out.
Also, clidd, Wimpo's replace out happened in other games too. Does it still make him a townlock?- clidd

This exceeds the passing threshold. Please proceed to the extermination chamber for further processing.
The colored part. Aaron was my only town read at the time. Insomnia was more of an impression. Wimpy's points about Insomnia not reacting to his antagonism made sense to me and I felt that avenue was worth exploring.In post 303, Hectic wrote:

I don't have strong reads at the moment. Currently, from towniest to most suspicious, my impressions are something like: Clidd > dsjstr > Aaron > Insomnia > Wimpy > Hectic > Luca > FlippyIn post 363, clidd wrote:@Ame can i see your actual reads ?
Earlier today I was feeling stronger about Luca because his interaction with me came off as less curt than I'd expect, which gave me the impression that he was treading lightly. The reasoning in #342 is also suspicious to me. Luca claims that he felt better about me by 84, but I hadn't done anything differently. I was still joking around. This reinforces my initial suspicion that his reasoning for voting me wasn't genuine and that he's only making this claim to justify his switch to Clidd. That being said, he's currently trending up from this last page, particularly from his request for Clidd to switch from Flippy, which doesn't seem a probable scum move.
Aaron is trending down for seemingly not comprehending my sarcasm, which is just weird.
I'm paranoid of Insomnia. I'm not quite sure what about my post was so townie.
djstr's approach to the flippy wagon reads town to me.
Clidd seems like he believes his reads and I like his tone.
I still think Wimpy could have been emulating his tunnel. If he really felt the way he did, I'll be disappointed. This is another reason why I'm wary of Insomnia, for ~clearing Wimpy in 364 and 375. I think it's very possible Wimpy was mimicking the type of behavior he is town read for. That being said, I do think he's more likely town than not.
I don't feel one way or the other about Hectic. He's only on the lower end because of how I feel about those above. I did have a hypothesis that only scum would take the time to answer my opening questions, but I'm not going to use that against him. If he does flip scum, however, I'm definitely going to use this for a future game :3- clidd

As town, he's very analytical and has good fleshed-out reasons for sorting people, but I'm not seeing the same thing in how he's townlocking Wimpy/Luca here. The reasons given there don't warrant a townlock. Not 100% I saw this, but why are you townreading him, AaronFF?
I don't like using PoE as a justification, but given the circumstances, I believe it was the best option. I am not so excited to consider more elaborate speculations at the moment.In post 476, Hectic wrote:
It's interesting. + point for clidd since I can see the logic where scum are less likely to have a nuanced thought process where they start comparing scummy behaviour to players they've played with before which have scummy playstyles.In post 443, Ame wrote:
@Hectic, what do you think about this point?In post 364, insomnia wrote:
I like this post, not sure this PoV comes from mafia either. Feeling as though scum would just deliberately choose to push someone for their in-game content rather than just choose to compare them to another player's style, I have yet to see wolves take this approach, surprisingly. it's like trying to justify a gut feeling, all the while not being able to properly put the finger on the "why", so they choose to do it by comparing it to another player, whereas scum wouldn't even bother to make such points, hope that makes some sense.In post 316, clidd wrote:

Still don't like clidd overall though, like him putting me in the Unsure category for "PoE" alone is also something I'm not used to. His reasons for sorting seem a lot less substantial than his town-game.- clidd

And yes, I am inclined to agree with his conclusions. However, I don't know if it became notorious, but it seems quite obvious that he is instigating Aaron's reaction right now. The dialogue between both was not purely accusatory, but suggestively informative. Luca is trying to sort out the peculiarities of Aaron's behavior in this game, disregarding the neutral standard he usually sets in his games. By doing this now, it becomes more unlikely that Aaron, in case of being scum, will be able to draw his way to the mid/late game, especially due to the verbal discrepancy and high potential for antagonization if, in fact, the 3-way or 4-way players occurs.- clidd

And, in response to the worsening of his suspicions, he made this post aiming to remove his suspect from the comfort zone, consequently, intensifying his search for reads and reactions in this type of interaction.In post 582, Luca Blight wrote:Regarding timing, it's probably from being V/LA and in general being in a different time zone to most players. I usually have to catch-up on loads of pages each day.
Regarding soft pushes, I haven't had reason to massively SR anyone until now. I don't see my push on Frost as being soft.- clidd

No, he would be more cautious. The correct move here, socially speaking, would be to further question my motivations for believing in him and, probably, start a wagon based on the oscillation present in the numerical factor of my activity. This would be done almost automatically, if he had a scum mindset. However, as I was able to observe, he preferred to reveal this aspect and seems to accept, temporarily, my existence for the time being, when he could be building associations out of the read he got from recycling and citing my two scums games. The scenario in which he is taking advantage of this does not come to my mind, and I do not intend to review this position.In post 587, Hectic wrote:

The reasoning would be correct if we were talking about a newbie player, considering that this type of thinking is extremely simple and easily detectable. By the way, why would he act this way with you in the game, if you've played together before? it has no cohesion. Any kind of stimulus in the interaction between me and him would be suspicious and therefore would attract unnecessary attention - just what he would avoid in a scum scenario. These two substitutions were coincidental. The question of preference on alignment is indifferent to me, as it depends more on the match. ''Noisy'' games with lots of posts and discussions are less interesting to me, since my tendency is to start the game slower. As well as very fast matches. The middle ground is difficult to find, given the peculiarities of my personal taste, but I believe that over time I will be able to align that.In post 596, AaronFrost wrote:
Wouldn't him being more cautious and not pushing the read be scum indicative then?

Also since you never confirmed one way or the other (unless you did and I missed it), do you hate playing scum? Why did you replace out of those two games?- clidd

Hum, no. There are no predefined limiters of what is or is not considered a towntell under points formulated from someone's subjective perception, especially if we enter the individual spheres of thought, which are shaped by experiences that diverge between players. So what for me can be a gigantic towntell, for you, however, can be null. I don't see why my speculation about a hidden SR is not valid, considering that a good strategic part of our thoughts are not transparent to the public. An example of this would be to tell your plan openly and expect it to work properly, when you could have used the element of surprise to enhance its effectiveness. And about his tone, obviously, it is not difficult to deduce the fact that Luca questioned more aggressively the reason for Aaron's behavior to collect information, as well as realizing that the seriousness content is relatively suggestive and tends to seek more firmness in the interaction between the two. In other words, try asking a criminal if he murdered a person in a friendly tone, I guarantee your answer will not be satisfactory.In post 597, Ame wrote:

Him not acting in the way you think would be optimal for him as scum is not a town tell. And the idea that he has a secret SR on you is entirely unwarranted and you know it.In post 584, clidd wrote:
