I welcome all sheeps

[Kyoko Kirigiri]

why do you scum read ranger wheme?

[WhemeStar]

Because I think if anyone actually looks at my meta you can lazily say that this is my scum game and I don’t think Ranger is a lazy player

Random Nurse has requested replacement. Cat Scratch Fever replaces Merlyn.

[WhemeStar]

Welcome Cat!

well I dont know how anyone would even meta a lurking iso like yours in either direction unless if the argument is that you wouldn't play at all if you were scum. do you think she should have seen this and consider you nai or town based on what you engaged with in game so far if she wasn't being lazy or scum?

on a second read I actually enjoyed ranger push on merlyn way more my first impressions of it. the whole my scum game is good and give me credit even if I'm wrong thing is so rubbing me in wrong ways, but I'm like sitting here struggling with myself again about how confident I feel about my ranger sr again.

[Kyoko Kirigiri]

I am hard town reading Titus, by Kyoko is giving me associative vibes with Titus, I am trying to not put the cart before the horse though.

I don't have a read on Titus as it is. She feels so lost and disengaged with the game with her posts that I cant sense and town mindset or scum mindset behind it on either direction.

so Its actually really interesting for me how others are getting confident reads on her. Like ranger's titus is town, or people putting titus is nightmare is something I legit cant get and it feels somewhat forced by some to a degree.

i think ranger is trying to say i lurk as scum and im scared to post things but that's not all the way true and its also not what's happening this game

[Radical Rat]

If you don't think it's true, why do you think people would see it looking at your meta?

[WhemeStar]

Because if you look at it surface level it’s easy to say that I lurk as scum and scum can easily push that

Do you lurk like this as town?

[WhemeStar]

no im more likely to lurk as scum but idk if i consider what im doin lurking im just disassociated

[WhemeStar]

i dont really want to defend my meta case unless ranger posts though so

You scumread Ranger because tyhey scumread your meta correctly?

[Morning Tweet]

"They took the time to investigate my history and noticed I tend to lurk more as scum, so obviously they're scum using that fact against me this time around while i town lurk"

Like it's not that I don't believe you but isn't this ridiculous? What are we supposed to be going off of, reverse psychology meta?

[Cat Scratch Fever]

Hey I'll be catching up tonight after worl

[Cat Scratch Fever]

Well I read the first ten pages and it was very boring

[DragonEater70]

Sorry for not being here for 6 out of the last 7 days or something, I should be fully back today with no more prods.
I just checked the latest VC, and a whole bunch of people I townread are voting for Merlyn, so time to find out what's up with that.
Will have a short read and then post some more.

[DragonEater70]

What do you think our scumcase on Wheme is? As a hint: You and DragonEater should have the easiest time figuring this case out

I'm intrigued.

It's lurking, right?

[Aureal]

Liking my Wheme vote more and more.

[DragonEater70]

I've read like 2.5 pages and a lot of quotes within quotes within quotes. So I don't necessarily have all the context, but here's where I'm at:

so i've finally figured out what i think about the

drew

puns and the nightmare placement, but it is unfortunately a very boring conclusion.
the puns are probably just puns. even if it looks like signaling, it's a reach to speculate that a very specific 3p role (or a scum traitor) both exists and would signal in such an obvious-looking way. the way it was done just seems like it was bound to get noticed by more people than just the intended target.
i still think drew being placed in the nightmare is +town for him. we've established it's most likely a scum ability, and i really don't think scum would be that desperate to get their partner in there that early, to the point that it would be worth drawing all that attention there. unless we're in multiball, in which case the solution is to read him off his play, and i read him as town right now so nothing changes. perhaps it was just done to sow conflict and suspicion, it did a pretty good job creating a bunch of (imo) useless arguing.
i am sympathetic to the idea that scum is letting the town eat itself. that could be a lot of people though.
still have no clue who to vote, but i liked this answer from ranger so i will probably just sheep it for the time being.

did you ever talk about that merlyn sr? if not, could you?

Sure. Merlyn is THE slot I'm talking about in exploiting Radical Rat. It doesn't display well in iso, yet most of her content is directly reflective of what RR's discussing at the time. Merlyn's given no content I've thought town, looks like scum, and has taken stances which I feel are taking advantage of town accusing town. Merlyn's contributions have been lackluster, and when the town's had its more lighthearted moments, Merlyn's contributions to them has felt forced. Both her hop onto Rauth as well as her hop off Rauth were suspect.

VOTE: merlyn

I like this post and it's quite towny. Also, I agree with Ranger's take and will probably vote Merlyn in my next post (after I make sure I don't accidentally hammer).

secondly about the way this post is written, I feel like the analyzing is clear and from a solving mindset but I just feel a tiny bit uneasy about the way you put things together that implies somewhat if ranger was only posting puns = ranger is town kinda vibe which is a logical fallacy. same also with your drew read. Like I agree with the solve that it might not best practice to focus there anymore and I'm actually feeling that vibe as well, but I just dont get to the conclusions you want me to reach with the assumptions that premises of that push were wrong (that the signaling and nightmare force were related). I just think at very best this puts both at null - which is were I had them both for mech reasons. and IMO ranger is a bit scummy individually regardless of that talk.

This doesn't feel like town mindset to me - it feels like Kyoko is simultaneously trying to agree with (to gain credit) and criticize (to form a future avenue of attack) Abnormality's (:D) post, instead of just posting their sincere thoughts. This is usually something that scum does.

Hey ranger why do you think tbis is my scum game

VOTE: Ranger

Real question but why do you consider scumreading you a scummy move?

Well all I can say is it's a lot easier to make a single post with a clue than to read like 10-20 pages of mafia and try to analyze what's going on. But, I do understand why it could look scummy.

[DragonEater70]

easier = less time consuming, at a period when I had very little time due to IRL reasons.

[DragonEater70]

VOTE: Merlyn

And now I gotta figure out what's with the new Wheme wagon. This is great.
