my problem with your slot is the way the worst handled it. they seemed disinterested in the game and made a lot of posts just to post, not really giving analysis or providing reads. they didn't have the same bite i think people were expecting the worst to have.

sorry i guess i really am as sensitive as people say
In post 917, Aisa wrote:@STD To me, the fact I've found it hard to engage / have useful thoughts on your posting is proof that maybe you haven't been as attention getty as you claim. My theory is that if you are scum, your strategy is to check in once a day, make a couple posts, throw a little shade, then slink out before you attract too much attention.
Is this not merely proof that you aren't paying that much attention? i don't think this is an even remotely fair characterization of std's posting. i'm not convinced he is definitely town, but he has definitely not been afraid to make a splash. this is some BS

Now that I skimmed your ISO again, I see you dropped your suspicion of Nancy pretty quickly. I remember now, that was one of the things that felt sussy at the time.

One moment you were like "Hmm Nancy's tone is scummy" and 5 hours later you were like "nvm Nancy may be town now". Actually now that I think about it this might be town-indicative. But I don't think you get credit for attacking someone who defends herself fiercely, because it was a pretty tame and short lived attack.
he does get credit for that actually. based on my experience with nancy, if town she is definitely liable to perma-scumread someone for briefly suspecting her

I don’t think it’s a relevant assumption unless you think both Nancy and ceph can be scum
are you implying that this is not possible? i don't see why that would be particularly unlikely fypov

Of course we don’t know his alignment but makes a helluva lot of sense for him to be scum with Mega.

I'm just wondering where's the indignation at being wrongfully accused as a townie.

I think I can try to give you benefit of the doubt and see if there's better reasons to scumread or townread you though.
Bahh maybe this is just unfamiliarity at furtive's playstyle, but just felt like a pretty cheap attack at the time

I got thinking about this after furtive and I talked briefly about the interactions between cephrir and STD in the hood and furtive explained that he townread STD very slightly just for being the aggressor.

That got me thinking and I don't see the particular brand and context of STD's aggression / push on the people he's pushed as town-indicative at all.
wait what didn't you just say STD was a nullread and then that you wanted to townread him after your interaction how did this happen it's a pretty janky forced push too

You definitely need some poking at some point, MegA needs to show face and follow through on what they were doing - as does Quaxley. Mastina needs to show up and do what she does.

If it was a free elimination I'd be sat on Aisa right now.

An annoyingly large pool of sus, admittedly, but we have time.

Since I pretty much bet the game on Gimli!scum here, this looks like a possible associative with your team and I think STD looks townier than you and your Flea!read looks quite pockety.

How do you NOT get ellitell from that? If a player hasn’t posted anywhere onsite, how can it be obvious they’re not responding to it?

That’s why I switched to Mega after Flea pointed that out and duckling hadn’t ellitold and but know that’s not how she’d react as town.

I extremely confident we would have gotten a scumflip either way now.
