I guess they're like, valid reasons but not particularly strong. Or well they're strong enough commensurate with being a page 7 read. I mentioned earlier and still feel that fire's posting just gives me a strong sense of agreeableness that I think can be scum indicative, like there's lots of agreeable description but not the kinds of things that town will do because they're less hyperaware of how they're being perceived than scum are. I think I need to just compare to chromavalon a bit (though that game isn't perfect for meta), it could be nothing whatsoever.- implosion

What made you want to fact check Datisi's townread if you're townreading him?
2) ... bc I'm townreading him? It's generally a good idea, when one disagrees with one's townread, to either convince them they are wrong, let them convince you you are wrong, or change them to a scumread, as otherwise Someone is wrong about Something in the whole arrangement.

All of it more or less, you've more-or-less snowed me before as scum iirc so I'm loath to locktown you but you feel earnest, the way you're interacting with the thread looks genuinely interested to me, etc. I don't actually have like, a comprehensive picture of your meta; I guess if anything I'd be townreading you more if I had no meta on you. It's also motivated partially by me thinking that you/VP interactions feel town coming from you in the context of knowing at least some of the meta history between you two with guardians (e.g. it makes sense for you to be pushing him and to be suspecting him for the things you're suspecting him for IMO, and I also agree with a lot of those things)In post 299, Datisi wrote:

And regarding my vote on VP I have described it a bit; it's a combination of thinking that you've made some decent points against him/feeling like the pushes he's making would make more sense against other slots if he's town, and feeling shady about his bravado in the context of how he's using it which idk if I'll be able to explain well (I previously said I'm not sure how to interpret this wrt his alignment but it still rubs me the wrong way).- implosion

Tbh I'm like, a little bit surprised that VP hasn't attacked me back yet, as town or as scum. I think it surprises me a little more if he's town; I kind of expected to be lumped in as the third in his Andante/Datisi/??? solve with how I've acted toward those slots. The way he's been acting toward my slot feels maybe scum-indicative; he's engaging with me some but also kind of ignoring substantive engagement with me. I don't think it's super indicative of anything up to this point but I'm interested to see how it plays out. I'm by no means like sold on VP scum or anything.- implosion

I absolutely would have scumread me that game if it had been a regular game, iirc I was thinking so at the time. Like, my posting patterns and everything.

im not really sure what to make of thatdrasticallycloser to my scum meta than my town meta, because I was a muse. It felt like I needed to sort of "pick my battles" and make a conscious decision about which opinions I'd say and when so as to not give anything away.- implosion

While I do see you lining up with Datisi, I don't see you lining up with andante necessarily (despite that weird sort of exchange you two had), and she is my lead pick for scum here so far. What substantive things would you like to engage on? I didn't get a lot from your posts toward me.- implosion

Just to be clear on this, masons absolutely should not out. The later masons claim, the higher a percentage of the lim pool we're able to get rid of by their claiming, assuming they don't die at night. And the nightkill analysis point seems very silly - yes, you no longer have to wonder about "did this person die because their reads were good or because scum were mason hunting"; instead, you get to know that they died because... they claimed mason. which is uh, not useful information!- implosion

This is sort of a weird criticism because I thought that was a somewhat +town thing for VP to ask (his explanation doesn't really affect it). I feel like bringing up a random slot that hasn't talked in a while, especially to me given that VP has implied some degree of townread on me (i think) and so it can also be viewed as reaching a bridge to me, is a somewhat town move. And I don't think Penguin's done nothing, I think it's entirely possible to have a read or even a strong read on him based on his ISO so far, I just don't happen to.In post 546, Andante wrote:how do you expect implosion to have a penguin read off nothing though? like even if implosion was a penguin expert... there's just nothing to read there?- implosion

I'm caught up.
Unvote
I think VP's andante case actually has a good amount of merit. I'm surprised how many people said it's bad or meh. Particularly (though this could simply be meta-wrong) it seems out of character for her to have been afraid of the wagon on me and she's been a bit touchy in some weird ways that I think are sensible to interpret as scum caring about how they're perceived.
I have very mixed feelings about her alignment, though. While parts of per play do feel that way, other parts of her play feel very unplanned, or sort of not-premeditated. It feels like there isn't really anywhere she's planning to go. I have a hard time deciphering how her play indicates her alignment without more meta depth.- implosion

I'm thinking more that VP is town. I feel like he's methodically interested in figuring out who scum are. Like, all of his posting as of late feels very cohesive with someone who has a bead on the game and is trying to sort things. I think the Andante case is pretty likely to come from town, and I agree w Datisi that I don't really see all that much reason for VP to push in that way at that time.
I think Gamma is town. I think the way his first pass over the thread was felt consistent with both my general understanding of his town meta and with the way he thread-interacted in PYP. I feel like his play so far feels pretty similar to PYP. The "eight" thing is weird to me on both his and Andante's end and tbh I have trouble parsing what it means for either of them.
Datisi, I think I need to check a specific game of meta but I can't remember which one it was. It's in response to this post:
My reaction to this post from Datisi comes in two stages: stage one, "this post looks really town", and stage two, "shit, didn't Datisi convince me he was town in a scum game once by making exactly this kind of post". So I need to remember which game that was and maybe look at it.In post 678, Datisi wrote:i was about to type out a vote on fire, and then i remembered my one (1) reason to townlean fire

There's a big blob of people I still don't have a good bead on, though I think I could maybe get a better idea with some prolonged staring at them: Penguin, Ari, S_S, I guess Andante.
Mala and GeorgeBailey are unreadable so far and hutmeil I kind of see why people are calling them town or scum but I don't think their posting so far is really indicative.
That leaves Vulture who idk but in a different way from the above, and fireisredsir, whomst is scum.

It's sort of an impression that you're the kind of player that wouldn't care about a speedlim (on someone else) all that much as town. That impression certainly could be wrong.In post 740, Andante wrote:I mean I didn't want us to speed yeet anyone, and it felt like that was the way we were going... I've been limmed 24 hours into day 1 before...
You could be. No scumtell is absolute, but I think the appearance of caring about how one is perceived is typically scum-indicative, because while town does often care about how they're perceived, sort of like how S_S was saying, they're not as strongly aware of it the whole time. Scum has to be constantly thinking about what they post and whether it fits in with notions of what'd be considered townish, whereas town is able to just post without thinking too hard about it because they know if the town is competent enough then hopefully they'll be read correctly.Why can't I be town that knows I'm town? And thus, I want to be perceived as town.
I certainly think it's not scummy to defend against someone directly attacking you, it's more about preemptiveness.- implosion

I'll get to examining it in more depth but at a glance it feels like you've been playing the game without really being involved/invested, plus your play just feels different from chromavalon (though ofc that game is imperfect for meta, but more likely to be valid for a VT than a muse. and also i reserve the right to completely flip on this if i actually get around to rereading that game).In post 741, fireisredsir wrote:

I strongly disagree with this characterization of VP's play. He's pushing you hard but he's very much entertaining your thoughts and talking about other people. The questions he's asking feel motivated; the fact that he reached out to both Vulture and Mala as soon as they posted without really doing anything feels like town who, like you, is frustrated at the corpus of people not-doing-anything, but is trying to take direct action to fix that problem.In post 748, Andante wrote:As scum I tend to just do exactly what VP is doing. you find 1 person, and you tunnel. never rethink. just tunnel. thoughts outside? who cares. must. tunnel.- implosion

I think I found that Datisi Scum game and it is JK9++, where I was sk ~_~
I was genuinely townreading him but definitely a little different of a lens.
Also meant to say: this did also cross my mind. I want to give her space to enter the game if she gets an opportunity to, and of course her being gone could be just RL reasons, but, well, yeah.In post 765, Gamma Emerald wrote:

I guess this is roughly what I figured? I feel like the first quote still makes sense in the context of Mala being the only person hutmeil has any meta on in a game where they mentioned being frustrated by all the meta talk. I can see the pushing the accusation on to someone else but I also feel like it's kind of on the nose for scum who is lurking to spend half their big reads post talking about not liking lurkers/having a reads list that is nearly just the player list sorted by activity.In post 893, fireisredsir wrote:my reason is that they redirected accusations of lurking onto another slot, Mala, one that they later mentioned they had meta of her lurking as town. bringing her up specifically as the one to redirect on makes it feel to me like they knew that she was likely to continue lurking as town and thus would be an easy push to make
it doesn't really make sense from town bc i don't know why you make the first quote when you already have the knowledge in the second quote- implosion

I don't think either of these are what they're saying at all? They're saying "mala is lurking, in a towngame she reacted much differently to being pushed for lurking, therefore she's scum"In post 900, fireisredsir wrote:with mala i think it is slightly different bc here people aren't really saying "mala is lurking, she lurks as scum, therefore she's scum", they're more saying "mala is lurking, lurking is scummy, therefore she's scum". the first point is one that she would take issue with, the second one much less so. then again idk if she's even read enough to know which is going on here- implosion

You mean just the "top of 801 is confusing" thing? I just meant that I'm not sure how much I can trust my memory of a game where I misread you when I was SK in that game and so not just viewing it through a purely town lens, even if I was trying to genuinely read people.
Looking through your ISO of that game, and comparing it to what I saw in 678, I think the thing I can glean from that scum game is that you're willing to sort of "go out of your way to fake things that will make you look town" if that makes sense. Like, a technique I've used to read people (especially relatively new players) successfully as town is to see that they posted something that would have required a relatively convoluted or creative thought process in order to fake as scum. And 678 is that sort of thing - specifically saying you were about to vote fire but then remembered a reason to townlean him. If a new player said that, I think it'd be strong evidence that they're town, because scum going out of their way to say that they were going to vote and then changed their mind at the last moment is something I think new scum wouldn't even think to lie about, essentially. And I think it's sort of that sort of thing that I have a memory of reading you as town (incorrectly) in that game for. In fact, I think it's possible that for some people (maybe even you), that sort of post is actually scum-indicative - it is, after all, sort of a creative way of going out of your way to look more town.
For some examples in your ISO in that game, see here, here, and here (first sentence) which is very similar to 678 - it's almost like you're screaming "look at me, i changed my mind after I started typing a post out and have a transparent thought process!!!! I'm town!!!!!!!"- implosion

I'd like to hear an elaboration of what elicited this as a reaction.

I guess my problem with you here (not that it's scummy, but that it makes you tougher to read) is that you haven't been embroiled in any conflict. Iirc the last game I remember playing with you it was at least largely through conflict. Really I guess that's the problem with this game as a whole, there have been very few meaningful conflicts in which people have become embroiled. At least very few not involving Andante I guessIn post 951, PenguinPower wrote:mmm? if you recall, i like wagons for a specific reason that require fairly frequent votecounts. we're about to hit 1000 with 3....so i guess too fast? - implosion
