Homura leans town for being casual, and no opinion on the other three.

Yes I agree, that's why I was careful to note that post was not S -> T.

Failing to note that burned me in G&R III when I saw a post that I correctly judged wasn't S -> T and I assumed it was T -> X when it was actually S -> S.

I don't see town pops yet. Doesn't mean I won't, but afaik scum-pops is defined as "lack of town-pops" so scumlean I guess?

Wooper doesn't seem to be caring about how he's perceived, which is towny.

Oh. It's really brazen for scum to call out a townie who may or may not be a newbie for a greeting tell, which could easily blow up in your face if they aren't a newbie, or even if they are but people think it looked opportunistic.

On the other hand, it's a reasonable way to distance and play dumb with a partner.

Hmm.

I mean, it's tricky.

Probably the best thing I can say is that pops as town tries to provoke people to get information out of them and work with people to sync up reads with them. Pops as scum just kinda treads water? In my experience she tends to banter and deflect attention rather than diving into stuff.

But like I said, it's always possible she just hasn't had the time or the motivation to do what I consider diving in. And pops, this doesn't mean I think you haven't been solving at all, I just think most of what you've said is shallow enough that it would be pretty easy to produce as scum.

It's absolutely based on personal experience. I don't know that I've heard anything secondhand about what your scumgame is like.

I don't think your analysis this game is deep, and you can fake shallow analysis as scum, because that's extremely easy.

Okay but like it's not like you're just gonna roll over and die. In both of those games you made a token effort; in G&R II you actually made more than a token effort and avoided being caught reasonably effectively.

Many factors are converging to make me believe there is at least one scum in {pops, wooper}. One such reason is that it's taken this long for someone to FoS me for being noncommittal, meaning scum haven't wanted to do it for some reason.

There are many possible reasons but the easiest one is that they (or at least some of them) know me too well to be able to get away with that.

I kinda think I'd prefer to see STRQ go one way or the other before wooper does. Leaning toward pops atm but it would be nice to see STRQ and wooper put together a summary of their arguments against each other.

You said basically nothing besides "gut" though. I should hope that you can at least pinpoint what your gut thinks scum-me is trying to accomplish there that town-me would not be?

She seems to be pretty much playing in an ideal town way so far? Commenting, questioning, providing reads with reasons, not trying to control the game or provoke people, and encouraging cooperation.

Obviously scum are capable of playing that way, but I don't really see how she's scummy.

For the record, at the very least something wooper (and others) can note after the game, to the best of my knowledge I exited my scumrange earlier today. I think around .

I probably should have said this before, but I was seeing TvT archetypes coming from the Ank/wooper argument. Obviously this is an extremely holistic impression, I wouldn't even call it a read, but I can follow the trajectory of that conflict very easily if it's TvT. This was before this page, and the posts on this page have reinforced it somewhat. This is one reason I'm more interested in pops today.

Ank probably has played the most games with me. I would say her I guess since she seems to be pretty good at sorting through the things that aren't alignment indicative for me, even if she isn't great at reading me overall.

...No? You must be misunderstanding.

I think Looker, Ame, Elmo, and arguably Amrun and implosion are more likely to push my lack of voting as scum, so since that hasn't happened much, it vaguely raises the chance of each of those players being town. As I said it's not a strong reason and it's not the only reason I thought one of you and wooper was scum.

My scumgame is remarkably inconsistent. You might have the right upper bound in your mind, but your lower bound is probably too high.

I haven't played enough scumgames recently to really know for sure what it would look like, actually. I think baton pass was my last scumgame?? and it was quite different from any other I've played.

(And before you go omg how did he know he exited his scumrange, I know what went through my head in that post is not what would have gone through my head as scum.)

Do they?

Odds are that's someone we wouldn't have sent to hell anytime soon, and now we have their flip and can reevaluate based on it rather than allowing them to continue to affect the game.

I said the tell only applies to newbies, and pointedly asked if she was a newbie. She said the tell doesn't apply to her. I really don't see what's unclear about that.

What's another such quality, then? And don't say "being town", since the greeting tell never claimed to be 100% accurate and so that wouldn't justify writing it off.

I don't have a hard Amrun townread, either, it just feels like the pressure she's received is way disproportionate to the bad things she's actually done, which is a red flag.

It's not immaturity to play to your wincon.

If anything it's immature to let yourself die so you can get the moral high ground and go "I told you so!"

Wooper feels like he's trying really hard to look like he doesn't care about things, like whether he is scumread, when he really should be caring about that stuff

I like an implosion/Elmo/Looker/S_S townblock at least tentatively. I think if that townblock is correct and followed it's a guaranteed win, so we should spare the person in the block most likely to be scum so we get that information asap (and push back judgement day).

Ame is null leaning scum for me because some of their stuff seems super agenda-driven but that could just be the methodical way they play.

But like I said before, I have three townreads, and if they're all right, we can win by heavening them. If they're NOT all right, I want to know sooner rather than later. So I don't want to heaven a question mark.

All throughout yesterday you seemed very focused on getting people to agree with your reads and vote with you. Whereas I don't see you trying to understand other people's reads or work together with anyone very much.

You asking people if they would vote me is one one of the things I was thinking of, yes. Because it very much treated your reads as a given and tried to shape the game according to that, rather than trying to create a dialogue on me (or with me) to sort me.

As I said this could be playstyle but I think I, and probably at least a decent amount of town players in that situation, would instead of asking "who would vote S_S?" be asking "how do people feel about S_S?" Yeah you were trying to see if there was agreement, but you followed it up with "S_S has done seriously nothing." so it really looks like you're trying to sway people into agreeing with you.

Another example would be , where you seemed pretty deadset on lynching anyone that wasn't wooper (though I don't think you ever came out and said that). I said a LOT of interesting things during those few hours before deadline and I don't think you ever really asked why or tried to understand, you were just concerned with whether we could make sure we lynch someone that you wanted to lynch.

In post 991, Ame wrote:"Who would vote" and "how do people feel" are the same thing to me, they are both an attempt to draw out stances. I find the former more valuable, however, because it forces people to commit whereas people can just say how they feel without actually doing anything.
But the first doesn't cover the much more important underlying question which is not WHO would you vote but WHY would you vote them.

I can definitely buy that it's a playstyle clash. You wouldn't be the first person my playstyle has clashed with (hi pops :P)

I felt pretty disconnected and tilted by the wooper mislynch, not least because he's my friend and I actually felt really bad about killing him :(

And plus I'm anticipating that nobody will want to listen to what wooper said because that's how mislynched people are generally treated, and I'm not looking forward to it.

Like not getting others onto it, that's fair. I think my interactions with Ame have indicated pretty clearly that I don't consider that a priority, especially early in the day.

What makes you think I haven't attempted to make a high quality decision? And what makes you think I'm being LAMIST, when I just said I didn't care that I wasn't being townread yet?

It certainly creates the impression that you're looking for people who will vote who you want without caring about their thoughts or reasons, though. But I understand that.

I don't really remember him trying to affect the game much there. He was mostly just posting reasonable things, giving reads, and making votes with a normal amount of explanation.

But here he seems much more dynamic and much more concerned with actually getting people to understand his opinion and trying to understand theirs.

If it were just a snarky throwaway comment then yes I see how it might look scummy. But it's a genuine point. You guys are spending a bunch of time and effort trying to calculate probabilities for... what? To prove we should be trying to heaven town and not scum?

Like what should I have done in that situation? Try to push through a different option, and when that fails, bite the bullet and make a final decision between the two main wagons?

... because I did that. But because it was plurality, I didn't have to vote to implement that decision, and cutting the day short when so much was going on would be terrible.

I guess if it doesn't impact the amount of time you'd otherwise devote to the game there's nothing wrong with it, but I would have assumed that it would.

But the thing about information heavening is that its utility is 100% in the fact that people's reads will change depending on the flip, and I doubt your simulation takes that into account. So the simulation can't really tell you anything about whether it's a good idea.

I mean, I can try to justify it without yours, but the argument assuming you are town is much stronger (if you're scum I look a lot worse for prevaricating and shading wooper while not directly intervening), and people were talking about that world anyway, so I might as well bring it up.

Also, I hope you feel better soon :(

I was very heavily prevaricating between wooper and Amrun, and despite professing a scumread on wooper, tried to wagon STRQ which didn't work. When it came down to the wire, I could have (and almost did) voted Amrun to keep wooper, who was hard townreading me, alive, which I could have easily justified by saying wooper's final comments were towny, because they were.

The difference between me and Ame there is that wooper had me basically locked as town whereas he only townread Ame somewhat. And given that Ame and I had a lot of the vote mobility at that time, if it really was so heavily scum-controlled, we'd probably have been able to secure a lynch on Amrun which would set us up fantastically for the next day. Wooper pushes to heaven me or Ame, then he gets helled, etc. If I'm scum with Ame there we played it out massively suboptimally.

(Also, it would mean that Ame's wagon was all town aside from Ame themself, which is one of the reasons I'm townreading Elmo.)

See . It's nothing in particular, just the fact that I tried really hard to sort wooper and let him die even though in the process of my trying to sort him he locked me as town.
And also, why aren't you seeking towncred for your role in killing STRQ?
Because my role in killing STRQ was mostly just sheeping wooper, and bussing isn't outside my scum meta anyway.

I'm sorry :/ I'm not necessarily arguing that everyone needs to be townreading me for that or that it's a problem if you aren't, but I do know myself, and I do know that that doesn't play out the way it did if I'm scum. You can take it for what you will. If you don't accept the reasoning, we can chat about why not.
