idk not a huge fan of this post and then later unvoting saudade while still calling him out
if someone hammered THAT early in the game i think the flip would actually have been pretty good for reading the hammerer. Why would scum lynch their own buddy that early on?
If the answer is "to gain towncred" okay fine. And maybe that would work. But in a state where nothing at that point had really earned anyone town/scumpings (in my opinion) I just don't see a scum making that kind of play for towncred. If anything a future saudade flip should implicate me more for my intention to hammer post than a saudade scumflip should have if I quickhammered.
As far as the tinfoil idea that pops into my mind of a volpe/saudade team goes, I wouldnt think goon!volpe would even put gf!saudade to L-1.
But I do think that gf!volpe would potentially put goon!saudade to L-1 there and plan on pushing any potential hammerer the next day with some wifomy logic.
Aside from this paranoid situation I think volpe seems town in a vacuum. And saudade can be town for now until I figure out what the big deal about him is.it's a zero in my name (for PM purposes etc)-

Not loving elements so far.
No one should particularly love me either since I have one real post and it revolves around tinfoil. So I'll give elements the benefit of the doubt since I don't really feel much to respond to either.
However I want him to keep true to 116 rather than just wait around to "be impressed" I guess you could say.

She can be town for now too. But I would like more activity from her as well. Now that we are all here and at least posted some sort of opinions I'd like to know if anything particularly sticks out to them so far.
I don't think a read list is necessarily needed but any perceived meta changes/similarities, valid/invalid points, basically just anything to help form reads and get the ball rolling would be nice.it's a zero in my name (for PM purposes etc)-

I could have worded it a bit better. I'm saying if heIn post 133, Volpe14 wrote:I know you assuming Saudade as scum in good-faith could just be read as you going in hypothetical theories, but you don't seem to ever stop considering Saudade as scum, and Saudade flipping scum incriminates me is the first thing you think about. I feel as if you're trying to draw associative between Saudade v me when it doesn't exist?
I don't like it at all when by random odds Saudade has a 50% chance of being scum from my pov.didflip scum then why the hell would a buddy do it so early on? And your bolded question in 132 would only incriminate me if he and I are a team. If he and I are a team then why would I go through all of the trouble to explain why I don't think a quickhammerer would be his scummate there? If that were my angle I would have quickhammered him.
So your "don't like it at all" is just you reading too far into it. I get where you're coming from though. Not even in an AI way. As both truthful town and lying scum I have pointed out these "why did you just assume that person to be x" to form or fake a read.
Although to be honest I now realize I meant to add another point after the whole "why would scum lynch their buddy early on" bringing about the perspective that, yeah, a townflip there means the hammerer is probably scum.

Having skimmed a few pages I have discovered he is not.
oh. I misread this. I thought he was talking about this game having not read it yet or something.
Tbh I would call myself the opposite of a transparent player. And not because I'm really good at appearing town when I'm scum. More because I'm just bad at this game as either alignmentit's a zero in my name (for PM purposes etc)-

saudade gets to be town rather than null because I am saying that I think he's town because of his approach the game so far. Yet people were making a big deal about him on page one so I'm thinking there is some meta about him that I don't yet know and will find outit's a zero in my name (for PM purposes etc)-

Elements can you elaborate on why you originally thought I might be so transparent? Was it simply based on posting patterns from game to game?

Up until this point you had been playing a pretty damn passive game. Really making mostly joke posts or things just completely devoid of readable content. At first I incorrectly remembered that as being what you did in the miccros game. That was wrong. You played miccros by asking a lot of questions all the time. Like a LOT of questions. Almost every post at least to begin with. And a lot of those questions look pretty pointless in retrospect.In post 126, eth0s wrote:

Then shortly after I made my stance on you, your play changed greatly and you start asking a bunch of questions, none of which seem all that important to me.
It feels like you just wanted to let the game state develop before really doing anything, and then once you did do something it heavily reminded me of your scum play.
There is one reason I don't feel this strongly enough to vote you, but it's somewhat conditional. I also think one of volpe/saudade need to go today anyway.it's a zero in my name (for PM purposes etc)-

I know elements is V/LA but this day should NOT end until he comes back and gives some input on what's going on.

Now that the game has ended I would like to note that elements and I just played a scum game together.
Here's the link if anyone is interested in reading it.
I know self-meta is shit (well a lot of people disagree with me there but I'm a strong advocate of "people aware of their town meta will often attempt to copy it" in the same way that "people showing off their scum meta will often play the opposite of any sources they cite") but regardless I think it could be good insight.it's a zero in my name (for PM purposes etc)-

I think town!elements is referring to the transparency thing with me as I deepwolfed hard in our scum game and posted heavily throughout. If he's town then that was probably an attempt to quickly get a gut townread on me for my opening this game kinda being an "I don't give a shit" playstyle or whatever you wanna call it.
If he's scum it's basically the same thing I guess but fakeit's a zero in my name (for PM purposes etc)-

I think even if I did have a "plan" it would be wise to keep that under wraps until it's relevant.
I think if I say "if x flips scum then y is probably scum" or "if z flips scum then y is probably town" and anyone actually agrees with what I'm saying, it leaves scum with too good a choice. They can make their stance now, "agree" with someone's scummate idea, and feel comfortable that a {scum lynch, mislynch} will likely lead into a mislynch.
And I'm kinda getting the vibe that you're asking me what my plan is for that reasonit's a zero in my name (for PM purposes etc)-

This is literally the closest thing elements ever said to imply that he didn't think saudade was town (after straight up calling him his first TR upon entry to the game) and to "not believe" him is a pretty fucking weak solo reason to throw down the hammer. There's literally no way that elements plays like this as GF. and it's the most ridiculous thing possible for town so I am going to have to hard rule him as a goonIn post 271, Elements wrote:

Volpe's interactions with elements are also quite poor.
I agree with the idea that she is deepwolfing and do not understand how town!she would possibly come to the conclusion of elements GF based on his play on that hammer.

I'm pretty sure that I'm the only one that ever voted elements. Even if he "seems kind of scummy" or however you'd like to put it, I'm pretty sure all town understand why you, saudade, or me were probably the only viable lynches for day 1.
Like one of the 3 of us is deepwolfing. Or if you're not me I guess one could believe that both of us are, potentially. But someone that is either town or deepwolfing basically has to die first in this setup from my understanding.
Elements had never stated any good reasoning to lynch saudade so your "theory" looks quite shallow. Even if saudade flipped goon elements would be an obvious lynch because elements hammering the person that he has only ever stated to be town is a death wish. He would need to fake some kind of scumread on saudade first to even make that bus halfway believable. Given your stance on powerlynching any quickhammerer there is no way that GF elements makes that play knowing that the temporarily living saudade will still be around with the person who stated intent to powerlynch any quicklyncher.
He's the goon and you faked that theory to buy yourself towncred because you knew you'd be screwed without some kind of towncred for the team since he wasn't going to get any for himself.it's a zero in my name (for PM purposes etc)-

You can replace if you want but it's not gonna change my read.
Just because you've efforted harder than Tris in this game on average doesn't make you townier than her. I see a clear pattern in your motivation whereas my ISOdive on Tris didn't make me feel strongly one way or the other. My gut leaned town but I felt it could go either way.
However with you I don't see any town motivation in your playit's a zero in my name (for PM purposes etc)-
