Sorry, sorry. Not giving enough attention to this game, I'll try and fix.
So I just ISO'd all of FL's posts and my first gut instinct is town, bc before they subbed in big hood was basically DOA in terms of activity (I do know I've been part of this problem). If FL had subbed into a scum slot I think the smartest option would have been to lie low and let us mess the game up through inactivity. They have also been consistent in wanting to scumhunt regardless of the hood, the consistency reads town to me.
I do have some questions:
As far as I can tell, you felt the scum in little hood has to be invis or python bc they are controlling the flow the hood/or driving it as you later say in a way that yessiree is not- can you explain or give an example to me of what you mean by that?
Were you testing python somehow with the Aureal vote ('it's okay python, you already convinced me of python') and then you feel they failed? Were you scumreading them at this point?
I'm trying to understand your POV better bc my takes are so different here- like, to me yessiree seems scummier BECAUSE they're not so front and center as python and invis.
I just felt like Yessiree was just there in a way where they had no objective and was just existing. Python also gave them a pass for not thinking they would be put in a neighborhood with Yessiree, and Yessiree questioned why they thought that real early on, and I liked that. I also feel like when you voted Yessiree, it lead ScumPython to also accept movement there.
Yeah, I was just having some fun with the 'you already convinced me' line, but I wanted to see what Python would do, so yeah, there was definitely some reaction testing going on there. There wasn't really a 'pass or fail' type of thing, I was just curious on what would happen. I think it's funny how Python was okay voting Aureal, but then they just end up voting together.
The main reason I think yessiree isn't scummy because of them being behind is it doesn't feel like they have any scum motivation, and are kind of just existing. This isn't 100% by any means, because they could just be scum just existing, but both Yessiree and Invisibility could easily turn on me instead, and then be much safer with the game going forward.
Like a scum perspective from one of the two of them almost feels far better to vote me, then people likely just get Python tomorrow, and that's like a perfect double fade.
The fact that I haven't really gotten more pressure on me past the two that I was pushing makes me feel I'm right on at least one of them.
Personally, I still think it's Python as Python was always the more scummy option for me, Aureal I can see as town here, but I'm struggling to see Python as town.
I'm feeling like townAureal is town reading scumPython, and since I targeted both of them, townAureal felt a connection with scumPython, and came after me because it's a town read of theirs.
Sadly, if I am to believe Aureal town, I also start to leaning one of SirCakez/AD as big hood scum, which actually makes sense to me with Python's reads. They've been shading those 2 a bit, but they didn't really push them.
Frankly, while I did think SirCakez as townie, I am starting to think they are scum because they are possibly trying to move the game away from Python even though they were shading each other earlier.
I also tend to be able to gut read SirCakez pretty easily, so the fact I have a little bit of that does make me feel it's probably leaning Python/SirCakez.
Python would be doing the classic 'bus a buddy, vote a townie' scum ploy in that case.
