I'll just post my thoughts as I read.

Why would we take you seriously? :laugh:

Why would town not risk to take #1 and try to go for a useful town pr or deny a powerful scum pr?
I don't like this. It doesn't point to him being either alignment. He would want a PR as both town and scum.
In post 29, Your Troubles Will Cease wrote:Am I allowed to quote what I sent to the moderator here?
Because I picked 1 to deny any scum who thought they were being clever. I figured the risk of scum getting first pick is too great.
Really don't like this, but I think he's town because of it.

Townread on Siv. I like his research of the other PYPs.

I don't really agree with Alabaska's vote on Siv but still he seems town.

I don't know what to make of Mutley's "I'm still in RVS because I want to be" nonsense.
In post 78, Mutleyddmc wrote:Do it four and I will answer
I did laugh here.

I like pecan's 84. Why did you wait to post that?

Belisarius is pinging my gut.

Sakura Hana is just a nonentity to me. I feel like I'm reading nothing when I read her posts and forget about her until the next time she posts.

Deckard's 159 is something I see scum do a lot. Unprompted, he churns out a bucket o' nulls read list that doesn't take much effort and looks like he is contributing. None of his reads are really original at all.
In post 168, Xdaamno wrote:Hey folks. Apologies for the lack of posting.

Alabaska's politeness makes him an interesting read. Any recent previous games you can link me to, Al?

In post 63, Belisarius wrote:Sure, if there's a reason for it besides "picking at random from amongst the top five"

If there's no actual reason, it's still RVS.
I have an actual reason for voting Stryker.

Some rudimentary PoE is only part of that.
Nobody genuinely uses PoE this early. It's plausible for town to make up reasons, but scum are more likely to.
In post 58, pieceofpecanpie wrote:Alabaska actually raises a decent point. Choosing a number over 9000 doesn't clear you. Yeah, it doesn't implicate you either, like Siv pointed out in #54, but the defensiveness is interesting.
"actually raises a decent point" is mild scummy language.
In post 110, pieceofpecanpie wrote:So you lied?

Are you planning to keep this up all game?
Leading question.
I completely disagree with this. Did you just ignore everything else he did that made him look town?

Actually surprised at Mutley's slight push on Deckard. And I like it.

What the hell is a driver tell?

201 by Smudger is a slight improvement of Deckard, but giving a list of complete reads is something that bothers me. If you are town, it gives scum a roadmap as to who they should NK and who they can mislynch.

I'm thinking Beli town for his "driver tells" and such because he's only wasting his own time by using them and it's not like he's getting other people to use them and waste their time too. I think he's trying.
Unless someone has meta that he's a trolling/tryhard scum?

Alright as much as I HATE all player reads lists, 236 by Yesterday is beautiful and I agree with it 100%. Especially about Troubles asking to quote his PM to the mod, something no one else besides me picked up on.

Alrighty that's about it.
Sakura Hana wrote:Well I really can't defend much against that, it is true that i've barely done any scumhunting this game, oh well, if you ask me the only semi-suspicious person i got is Bellisarious, but mostly because his whole post of nothing that he made, however i did say i would put that aside, so either i sux at finding scum or scum this game is too good at hiding in between town.
I think this post explains everything.

You have three votes on you. You're not dead.

But crumpling under pressure like that is making me more confident in my read.

Sakura's case on Yesterday is pretty ridiculous.

@Alabaska
I think picking 1 is a nulltell, but Troubles is town because of the PM thing. I think Yesterday explained that in detail so I won't go through it again.

I think you're giving people too much credit. I don't think Troubles faked the PM thing and I'm doubtful that Sakura faked not knowing about daytalk. That one is bugging me a little, since her complete turnaround in attitude is unnerving.

You say doing that would be optimal scum play, but remember, scum don't always play optimally.

@Smudger
I just remembered you asked me that question about posting reads lists.

When someone asks for my reads, I only give ones I am confident in. For example, in this game I would say Deckard/Sakura scum, Yesterday/Troubles town. I might be wrong about giving full reads lists. It might be a good thing. Personally, I don't think it is. It's all a matter of opinion to be honest.

What was the point of saying what could have happened had deckard claimed? Just looks like fluff to me.

(If we massclaim, we should do it from the bottom of the ballot upwards.)
Sakura was vig-killed.

But obviously you wouldn't know that as scum. :wink:

There's no need for massclaim today.

Please I don't want to start this argument. (Arc would know)

Basically this^^^

I don't really have much to add. Smudger needs to claim.

My scum pool is {Smudger, ArcAngel, Xdaamno} with {Alabaska, Letters, PPP} as outside possibilites.

Also Sakura you would've been lynched regardless. A vig kill is much more honorable.
