ok I'm half asleep and this game is getting really wally so I'm just going to blab a bit where my head is at and then get back here when I've digested this game more.
Chirivi wagon is not my to my taste. 52 is just fluff but it's really blunt and honest reaction. Meta'd them, their play doesn't seem ooc for their town or scum game. I don't see their self meta case but ok. Taly vote is... nonsense. There's plenty worse on that wagon and taly is just going through ridiculous lengths to thinking about this game to be a part of an act.
-- Nethersprite is pinging me the most, the application of his questions towards other players while being content to threaten his vote rather than discover their alignment sucks. Also many of those questions feel like busy work to me.
--I think davesaz and vettrock were pinging me but it may have been just gut so someone remind me later to flesh these two reads out.
--everyone else I haven't looked hard enough to have a distinct feeling about.
also VOTE: nethersprite for now. I left my vote on you taly because you really haven't been in any danger the times I briefly checked the thread and I've only just now found someone I'm comfortable serious voting.-

Please do me a favor and go throughvettrockanddavesazposts and then give some read on them not based on your gut.
I'm curious.
?
Ok i didn't need a reminder 2 posts later. I guess at this point i would say they are sidelining but theres something more to it. Like how davesaz is asking for reads from someone who has made their position clear but he hasn't made an effort to clearly state his own. Vettrock just hasn't commented enough for my liking.

This is interesting and the opposite of what I've got at the moment. Maybe we can talk about this over the next couple of days? He seems pretty genuine to me but there's not a huge amount of analysis or theory in that.
Hiiii talahhh!
Im on mobile so I cant quote it for you but like compare his interactions wih them to anyone else. He seems pretty content to lynch them already while making effort to get info from anyone else. I dont buy that his inital read was that strong or really evolved naturally as more players joined on.-

They think their wagon is easy and they've been questioning the people who were following it. post 115 I liked because thats one of the posts that pinged me and I also doubted that they were acting like off guard scum and I liked post 119 because I didn't feel dodgy's reason was entirely accurate on chrivi. Granted none of this is enough for me to give a townread on them but fluff and abrasiveness isn't alignment indicative to me and thats what the majority of this wagon feels like.-

My initial vote intention was to create some pressure. And it seems that I chosen a right direction to put that pressure to.
Eh?
you said they're doing nothing but omgus, and i provided posts which i thought were growing suspicions instead of "oh my gah u suck". So you must have an opinion on how those suspicions are bad scum logic hiding OMGUS, right..?

Hmm, I didn't think that any of the people I asked had stated reads, per se.
I use this information to do some of my reads. I usually don't state reads till I have them.
Well, ok that's true. But how do you expect to pull reads out of someone if you can't make them yourself? I know you said you're quiet early game but I kinda expected you to put your foot down somewhere.-

I think there point is that it doesn't really make sense to suggest it was an off the cuff reaction since anyone is allowed to think about how they are reacting beforehand. And I wouldn't describe their taly vote as omgus either but I don't think it was good reasoning either (seeing how he's a newer player and not really knowledgeable about what scum and town looks like). Though now I'm getting the impression a lot of people in this game don't like votes unless they're formatted into neat little cases so my vote isn't stuck to you yet.In post 173, Netherspite wrote:
Okay, may be the first of those posts isn't directly OMGUS post, but point at single useful bit of information there?
The first sentence in the first quote I already addressed and explained why it is either misinterpreting or misrepresenting.
The second sentence in the first quote is basically fluff because yeah, you can spend 10 hours writing a post but no one really does that. What's the point in mentioning it?
The second post is basically claiming that their OMGUS vote is better than the vote on them.
So basically it is just an attempt to justify the OMGUS vote made earlier.

What dont you buy about it?
this doesnt really fit with my impression of nether atm
The reason he initially voted them was weak and I didn't see any attempt to figure out chirvi's alignment. So I felt like his taunting of them wasn't a part of an evolved read but instead an excuse to keep pushing a grown wagon.
What is your impression of nether then? You like his 104, but I honestly don't see how this post could encourage chimvi to post anything useful if they're town.
His posts pinged me the most, and most of the discussion revolved around the hydra so I wanted to look somewhere else. I'd be happier with his posts if he didn't look so comfortable with his vote this early.In post 177, oddmusic wrote:I'm liking Honey Bee. Not so sure if I agree with her (?) vote on Nethersprite though, but I do think the push looks pretty townie.
Actually, @Honey Bee, what is the reason for your push on Nethersprite?-

You haven't done anything to bother me yet. you're coming across as deeply involved in your thought process and I don't think that's something you've learned to fake yet.
Talah.. umm.. I'm going to wait there :) Nothing bothersome either, but I could see talah as competent scum and I have to check my biases before townreading them.-

He is continuing to ask them questions which looks like a decent form of pressure - ie they're not going to lurk their wagon off. I'll note that his first post was a vote on ChriVi so there was no real need for the read to evolve, at least not in order to change the vote. I'm not really understanding the ping.
Spoiler:
I guess this don't look like productive pressure to me. And deadline isn't tomorrow so there isn't any urgency to lynch really.
@nether: Again, I think it's more indicative of their personality than anything. but I understand you may be thinking differently.

He's talking about njac, which dav asked about in the post before that one.

I am liking the njac wagon, although he's lurky and it's normally something I don't go for there's a lot in his posts that's giving me pause. His questioning feels off and I'm wondering why he isn't voting chrivi now. But I haven't read too in depth and idk how many are on his wagon now.
I don't really have the driving force to push nether right now, and his latest posts don't seem that bad. But I wanna know why he thinks scum wouldn't be ok with passivity towards the njac wagon. I guess I can imagine a lot of scenarios where scum wouldn't want to stick out their neck for a lurker, or would just bus to help their own necks, so I kinda think that vca is premature at this stage.
In post 238, vettrock wrote:I can't say I have very strong opinions yet as I often have trouble putting much together D1. Especially D1 I think it is easier to sort people towards the town side that really identify scum. There are times when scum slip up, but most of the time town says something that is blown out of porportion and is lynched for it.
Which people are you sorting towards the town side and why?-

hi piss, hi everyone else. I still exist and am following, I just need reminders to post sometimes.
First thing: Talah, um.. I'm not sure what you're getting at with the "we" questioning. Do you think taly is trying to push this lynch as an apathy lynch? I think a lot of people use we to talk about the overall town, and the context just seems to be about what info "we" have available. I'm not sure why the word choice bothers you, and maybe I can see why the statement bothers you but it's coming across as just frustration rather than scum pushing apathy.
I wanted to pressure vettrock more but he's not here :^l I'll look back a bit more and see if I can find a useful place for my vote.-

His current play has left tons to be desired, but I'm starting to feel I'm picking on an innactive townie instead of a lurking scum... Really on D1 I like to target useless people that I don't want around on D2. A talking scum can be caught quicker than a quiet one. And a talking town person to me appears to be working things out to themselves. I like activity. Because activity exposes the most information.
Where do you draw the line in your mind between inactive town and scum? Because in the previous post you seem way more confident about this lynch.
The thing about ploben doesn't bother me, newer players I think tend to start getting scared about personalities are just coordinated acts or not.
idk I'll probably wait for piss to post to see if he improves the dodgy slot or not :P it kinda sux but when your scum reads start disappearing you just have to wait it out.
I may make one more post because something about odd feels wrong but it may be my imagination or me just being bad.-

But now I want to talk about vettrock:
vettrock wrote:
The naked vote for ploben with just "discuss". I was looking at your vote for kaboose the same.
Ok:
1. You never called that scummy. So why are you trying to compare me to a wagon you didn't support?
2. Why is a naked vote starting a wagon scummy? I just said I had a reason and you weren't supporting any previous wagons anyway so how is a new wagon bad.
3. Chrivi has more content than me? So? I'm contributing, is me not having as much as chrivi alignment indicative? And I honestly question that you think chrivi has significantly more analysis than me.-

Soo... what is the rationale for this vote again? A naked vote is suddenly worth a vote now? Are you really expecting me to be voting and pushing as erratically as they are? If we are going by that criteria, you have waaay less content than me, since this the first time you've actually pushed someone with a scum read.-

Kaboose: why did you think njac could be innactive town? and are you voting him strictly based on utility so that if he's replaced you're going to reevalutate the slot's usefulness, or are you scum reading that slot at this point?
I like the vote on vettrock and I'll probably move mine because I'm sure if I want this kaboose wagon.-

oddmusic I've been wary of for a bit and he owes me the answer to a question. Also I'm liking ChriVi and ploben for town.
I'm not really following. You're suspicious of odd because he might have some strange relation with taly and for reading dav as town?-

Given that it is his first game, I'm not sure that is what he is doing, but he seems to have more knowledge of the dynamics of the game than most newbies.
I also see and agree with the whiteknighting thatNetherspriteseems to be doing with Taly. I think it would be too obvious to be doing to your scum partner, so I would say at least one of the two is town, but I can see one scum possibly in there.
I'm still thinking town for Kaboose, just because the reasoning behind the wagon seemed weak (along with the other two previous wagons)
I'm bacpedaling on Honey Bee as my reasoning was flawed because I didn't go back far enough to see her posts on Kaboose, so it seemed more out of place that it actually was.
I mean this is the most go with the flow thing ever, not only echoing things said in the thread, but redacting his read on me even though he shifted it to me being opportunistic scum reading him. After I put a vote on him and accused him of misrepping me, he forgets about this and excuses his unvote for being wrong about his original reason in order to avoid backtracking through that.
Odd continues to look just like a noob and although his content isn't particularly engaging to me, I can tell he has individual thoughts as well (ex 511's commentary and following posts are eager to sort an argument hardly touched yet). A lot of the "useless content" and "fake readslist" are softer on noobs who don't know what to pick up on but feel obligated to provide content anyways. So I can't really support a wagon that could be applied to other noobs (even in this game) without much success on hitting scum.
So yeah let's vote vett.-

Even if I was sheeping or just joining on, how is that not applicable to your nether read just now?
And explain your reads a bit more. It's really unclear to me what you value as scummy and don't. You think theres scum between taly and nether, but you think taly is less scummy than kaboose (552 ???). and you're interested in the oddmusic wagon, is there a reason for odd over kaboose other than odd is the bigger wagon?-

Well with you I didn't even understand why you were scumreading him.
With taly his reasoning felt vague and I felt it applied more to vett than odd. So I asked him to go deeper into that reasoning.
Do you have a compelling reason to scumread beyond what I said I thought was wrong, or do you want to tell me why my assertion about the reasons behind the odd wagon are incorrect? Because I feel I have found good reasons that vett is scum and I haven't heard anything about why he could be town.-

@dave: Don't embellish history. You excused yourself from both lynches, so it doesn't matter which one you thought was more scummy. And you did this before vettrock was the leading lynch, not after. So you can't act like doing nothing was beneficial when you already made your decision.
Please explain your kaboose and odd reads tho. Odd and vett doesn't feel as vicious as scum normally bus expecially with vett leaving his vote on the random and I'm not sure how the logic your using to defend yourself doesn't apply to kaboose.-

It's not an embellishment. Those are my actual thoughts from that time. A bit more organized of course, I don't actuallythinkin logic. :wink:
I prefer to wait a bit more for the explanation.
I posed a question to Talah. Anyone can answer now.
sure, but you already chose to support neither. You weren't displaying an undecided opinion, you were looking for an alternative to both so you wouldn't have to decide. Shifting your opinion after that statement would be abrupt, and stating your preference postflip when before there's no evidence of that opinion is unimpressive.
And yeah, scum do use logic that can point to themselves. They'll do anything to be townread, especially when scum don't have to be convincing in their logic.-

When I say warming up is bad, I mean that people are trying to display changing opinion. Its scummy to feel the need to show that your opinions are changing. Town can certainly do it, but when you say your opinion is changing without furthering the game its scummy.
No?????
Why is odd scum for pushing someone you hardly did? especially on scum?-

No. He's scummy for saying he might want to; and then waiting until he was going to go if scum didint.
ok, why? Town aren't allowed to have preference?
I have trouble believing vettrock wasn't dwadling the clock until town odd was lynched. If they were scum counterwagons I imagine vett would either detract to save him or bus hard to look unaligned with odd.
Are taly and odd aligned together with vett? because your taly read doesn't make sense if you think odd's scum too.-

GreyICE thinks scum are fearful this game. Do I look fearful to you? If you're looking for fearful people, look for the ones who aren't posting much.
(Whether this fearfulness thing is accurate or not goes to a different point and will be answered separately.
I just got out of a game where the scum no-killed because they sucked at time management and the town thought it was because of AFK. This isn't a good point to dwell on for your defense and taking this speculation by grey and running with it bothers me.
In post 881, davesaz wrote:This change in direction from GreyICE, and in particular how easy it was to convince him to switch, bothered me and I ended up not voting Vettrock myself. More on why it bothered me later, that fits in with a different train of thought.
Ok, and my points and everyone else's on that wagon points are worth ignoring over that? I feel like you were taking advantage of that jump off and spun it around to still doubt him when he jumped back on. If you meant the questioning in a "lighthearted way" What exactly was the point in questioning his taly read? What response did you expect from him as town vs scum?-

In post 922, davesaz wrote:I'm not quite sure what to make of your first point. Maybe you're having trouble following along.
Grey makes a comment about fearful scum. I get painted as said fearful scum because I was "afraid to commit to a wagon". I point out that a) I'm anything but fearful today and b) no reason for scum to be fearful before the flip. How does that have anything to do with whether fearfulness is the correct diagnosis for the no-kill? How does the possibility that scum just screwed up and forgot to send a kill order have any relevance to a bogus case on me being fearful, or on my response that such a case is patently absurd?
Secondly, in that case, scum screws up sending the kill, and town assumes that scum were afk -- means that town got it right. Is there a subliminal message here, that town has it right this game too? How would you know that, unless you're scum? Or is the subliminal message that town has it wrong this time and it was a time issue? In which case, you're scum again?
Unless I am misunderstanding something, Talah is criticizing you for describing yourself as "not fearful" when the way you avoided both wagons could be described as "fearful". I don't think they're implying that scum are fearful but saying that defending yourself as "not fearful" therefore town doesn't make sense. The relevance is that you were the one to bring it up in 729, and your implication that fearful = scum is mostly on your part.
And no, town were wrong; scum were there during the night they just didn't make a decision before deadline. My point was nka is ass and basing reads on it is bad. Why is that statement implying I'm informed? I never said that scum no killing wasn't out of fear.
In post 922, davesaz wrote:Next, your "point" against vettrock. Did you actually give reasoning which shows depth of thought and trying to figure out the game? I'm having a little problem with finding anything deep you have posted. TBH I had trouble reading your posts and in general. Care to explain where the depth is, in case I just missed it?
Spoiler:
Oh you know, Not providing content early on, calling me scum for something that he never thought was scummy, misrepping how much content I provided and misrepping my suspicion of him as sheeping when I've stated he was scum from my first post, Backpedaling and completely avoiding those points, providing a shitty, contradictory and hypocritical reads list, the usual scum tells.
However, that's not my point. I get ignored all the time, I'm used to it. My point is that 5 people wanted to lynch vett and 5 people wanted to lynch odd. You excused yourself from both wagons, you never gave either slot a fair analysis. That makes me think you wanted to avoid the issue entirely.
Also good job avoiding the last part of my post which was what I wanted to focus on.
In post 923, Kaboose wrote:I'm sorry I've paid no where near enough attention to this game.
Does anyone have a reason Talah isn't scum?
I think the way they reacted to the vettrock lynch yesterday was pretty obviously from an uninformed position. Or at least I doubt scum berate a wagon they know will flip scum and avoid a chance to persuade someone off that wagon when asked for reasons to switch.-

I'm not discussing my GreyICE read, for a very good reason which involves people not asking about it. I can say that most people, possibly all, are wrong about what my read is.
That's not really what I'm asking about and you explicitly said you were wary of him yesterday but ok my vote will stay here until you do.-

Would you rather have him stubbornly defend his taly read?
When you question town, you should expect them to reevaluate their position. Changing your mind is a mark of town usually. you asked:
In post 522, davesaz wrote:When I read Taly's posts, I see "if you can't dazzle them with your brilliance then baffle them with your B.S." Are we on the same wavelength on that?
What I'm not sure of is how to make that alignment indicative. How do we know it's not just "loquacious newb"?
I think we get plenty of information anyway, and that's good for town, but weigh Taly vs Vettrock with that question in mind. Still like Taly better?
This question is coded with a doubt on the taly read. You cite his massive amount of words as potentially part of his personality, and ask him to compare to vett again. When he does this and switches back, you call it appeasement even though you asked him to reconsider. So I'm asking what was the point in that question. It feels loaded, especially since vett flipped scum, switching and defending his taly read could be interpreted as an opportunistic jump off. So I'm wondering what you were looking for in a town response, as your question was already leading to what he did and you read that as scummy.
Peedit: oh please. You already accused him of that. I don't think he has long term memory loss and if he was appealing scum he'd already avoid that behavior.-

And why was that switch scummy as oppose to town changing their mind? Why did you give taly the benefit of the doubt and not grey?
It's good play because scum like to attack town where their weak, and switching at that time would look bad assuming he kept on taly. I don't believe you expected him to change his mind either due to his absolutely assertive personality, which is why you attacked him after persuading him. I have a hard time being convinced that players have to disagree with you to be town.-

No, my point is it backfired on you. You avoided looking at either of those wagons at deadline because of poor reasoning. It doesn't have to do with your piss vote or your read on grey now. I think scum were holding their breath for the momentum of the wagons to shift back and you fit that description. Scum off either wagon wouldn't want to stick their neck out either way to keep from either being known as the person who saved scum or giving vett absolutely no chance of recovering. I don't think its unlikely for scum to ask that either, since vett was at a whooping one vote at the time and it feels like a nice way to attack a stubborn player with low risk.
If you want me off your back, please stop with these wifomy assertions and justify why you avoided those wagons. I've made these statements against you a few times so its not "inexplicable" thanks.-

I was asking a question because I didn't understand your case and now your using that to call me scum with piss wow. You spent most of that post observing how quickly piss moved off vett so that's what I assumed you were emphasizing (plus you underlined and separated the last point).
Actually I still don't understand it. Jumping off of vett I can agree is of interest, but why is voting odd in particular any different than from just falling off?
