Civil might be coming from an old school mentality when it comes to activity? I’m just judging based off post history here.
I certainly have not noticed any sort of correlation between day 1 activity and scum in my games so far.-

I do think Civil is coming from a straightforwardly logical place that, while it isn’t enough to make me like the slot, gives me some confidence going forward? He doesn’t want to miselim a PR and he thinks PRs are less likely to fall under his policy criteria. This all checks out to me.

Just as a heads up to people, I wrote an abbreviation that I thought meant mislim but later realized could be interpreted differently. I asked DE70 to go ahead and edit my post to remove it. Sorry about that.-

Feel like unvoting this early reduces any sort of reactions we can get from the early wagon.
Like at least make it hurt for Civil.-

Just going to close the loop on this and chalk it up to my pretty abstract use of "hurt" here? My point was that I wanted a better reaction test on Civil by keeping the votes on him longer, something I mentioned in 107.In post 138, Naerys wrote:

I'm trying to figure out how much of Civil's activity and response times could just be LAMIST considering his rather militant stance against low activity users.
I think the questioning is good but perhaps over the top for someone who seems pretty intent on just policy'ing someone at the end of the day? It's a little off for me but I'm struggling to explain why exactly.-

Actually I'm going to write a little more than that because there's something really bothering me about 214/215.
214 lacks conviction. At first, I read Naerys as someone who is just kind of paranoid and making a readslist a little too early into the game, but actually the post seems weirdly calculated to suspect, or at least have harbor fears about, a lot more than three people in a game where we've already talked about how there's probably three scum.
Naerys mentions:
Bazuf for low post count
Greeting for low post count
StD for low effort posting
Hu Tao for low effort posting
as well as tangential comments like "confused gut feelings" for iavh or "feels weird" about me for a post that she admittedly misinterpreted.
When we break down her main suspicions, it looks to me like Naerys is basically scumreading any sort of low effort or low activity posting, which is why I'm confused as to why Naerys left Hu Tao and RN out of her scumpool in 215. They are more or less guilty of doing the same thing as Bazuf and Greeting. Is there enough of a distinction between low post count and low effort in posts for Naerys to say "there's at least one scum in Bazuf/Greeting" this early into the game? I'm not sure personally because both could be interpreted as lurking.
Also, I think it bothers me that Naerys thought that Civil's low-activity-policy plan was suspicious in 48 and that's basically exactly what she's doing with her vote right now? I don't think it's a slip, but it doesn't add up to me.

Feeling a little under the weather so I won't elaborate on too much stuff, but I think the response in 267 is pretty good. Do you have games on this site where you feel like you got pocketed by scum?
---
A little wary of Civil Scum's townread on RN, and I'm also confused (genuinely, not trying to throw shade under the guise of being confused) about the discoure around the early wagon on Civil Scum.
To me, he was never under any pressure of being eliminated. I think in my last 2 completed Newbie games we had players put to E-1 by page 2 with no actual threat of hammering. So, any retroactive analysis that suggests such seems weird to me (not sure if there was any).
The players on the wagon were Bazuf, Starfire, Random Nurse, Bellaphant. Bazuf was the first vote, but the only one of the four who Civil Scum scumreads? In fact he townreads the others. So why was he so upset over his wagon if everyone who contributed to it after the first vote was town?
I could be misreading this.-

It looks to me like Bazuf and his lack of posts are being used as easy pushes given the early slant of the game against inactivity.In post 299, Hu Tao wrote:

Oh honestly I thought for a second this was 11p and 4 votes were E-2, hence my not including Greetings in your vote count. That's my bad and explains a lot more honestly.
Before I go to bed, I do just want to say that your read on Bazuf just seems to be miscalibrated for a couple of reasons.
Bazuf knows you aren't getting hammered because he's just played in two Newbie games where people got put at E-1 basically by page 2 and neither got hammered, and there was a lot of discourse how no one is hammering from those spots.
This, and my misunderstanding of the vote count on you is why I was skeptical of your "lamist, weird voting logic" reasoning for being suspicious of Bazuf.-

I realized I forgot my second reason. I think his town meta is sort of similar to PC's where they're both going to jump to reads quickly instead of "showing their work" and building up to a read? I don't see anything nefarious in 76 honestly. That being said, I've only ever seen town!Bazuf and town!PC.In post 304, KatyKimFanClub wrote: Before I go to bed, I do just want to say that your read on Bazuf just seems to be miscalibrated for a couple of reasons.-

My previous messages in 305/306 probably come across as a little fragmented, sorry I am running a fever.
The reason I think Bazuf LAMIST style / weird voting pattern isn't that bad is because I think he does this pretty often as town. The below quote is from Newbie 2125. He has a strong pattern of scumreading someone early and helping move the game out of RVS. It is kind of interesting he said something about RVS this time, but this post reminds me a lot of 76.
I don't think Civil / Bella reads on Bazuf are "bad", but maybe a little miscalibrated based on his playstyle?In post 63, Bazuf wrote:

I can see his comment coming for scum as well.
I think you might know for a fact that Delta is in fact town and you're just trying to get on his good side...
UNVOTE: Deltabreedy
VOTE: DragonEater
Like the things about LAMIST or the "..." are pretty easily explained as NAI for Bazuf (at least based on me understanding of his meta).
Similarly, the idea that he hasn't really interacted with his vote is probably just because he hasn't been active on the site. Once again looping back to my idea that there is either a town-subconscious or scum-conscious decision to push on him because of his inactivity.-

Sure, I'll be around for a bit. You can also just ask me questions if you want.
I'll just get my piece out of the way. If you want to scumread me for defending Bazuf, that's fine, I do this as town all the time and you can see it in my meta. I think townhunting is valuable and for Bazuf I see someone deeply in their town meta. His posts this game (very few, yes) are very similar to his town meta tone and general strategy. The fact that he's inactive or might get replaced is irrelevant, because I'll still trust my original read. If you want, I'll stop talking about him now and move on to other things, but interacting with people to see how genuine their scumreads on him are is a great way to scumhunt actually.
I'm a little confused as to why you decided to throw shade at me for my posts about Bazuf? Do you think they were incorrect or off point?-

No, the reason I believe in my point is because DE70/iavh was scum that game, so Bazuf is more likely to recycle that logic as town.In post 330, Civil Scum wrote: However I will note that he was wrong about Dragoneater in that game and yet recycled the logic this time anyways. I’ll also point out the difference this time that he basically said he would allow Bellaphant this behavior if Bellaphant had played with RN or Starfire before which again just doesn’t track for me.-

What is flawed about his logic? Isn't what I'm doing right now an example of that? If you don't have meta on someone it's harder to come up with gut vibes as easily. I don't think that logic is contentious enough to say it's flawed.-

Like, what? He uses emotes all the time. This is a really flimsy reason to scumread anyone anyways.In post 162, Civil Scum wrote:People may poo-poo this one and I realize that it’s not much (but let’s be honest, he’s got 3 posts) since people use emoticons differently and some like to call out jokes when they’ve been made, but this emoticon was really unnecessary imo. It looks a little like justifying a
random vote to me, or just trying too hard to be clear that the vote was accompanied with a joke when anyone could see that already.
One: You already conceded that the first point isn't important anymore. You weren't in any danger so it doesn't make sense to be concerned about something that isn't going to happen.In post 162, Civil Scum wrote:
Here is where things get interesting. One, he seems unconcerned about a E-2 RVS with two unconfirmed players. This just rubs me the wrong way.In post 76, Bazuf wrote:It’s not like anyone will hammer this early, so… why so serious?!
Hmm… I don’t buy this…In post 52, Bellaphant wrote: Mainly vibes? Starfire is relaxed, enjoyed.the humour, random's response to civil is more thought out than I think scum would bother.
If you had played before with Starfire and Random, I’d believe your vibes… This because, from your own experience, you’d might recognise some pattern in the way Starfire and Random are posting this early on D-1.
But right after this post you say you haven’t played with them, so these vibes… are really just vibes… or are TMI.
I think you might KNOW that they are indeed town.
UNVOTE:
VOTE: Bellaphant
Let’s get this game out of RVS.
Two, I’m reading Bellaphant as town and I think this attack was really flimsy to be presented as strongly as Bazuf did.
Third, I looked up LMIST and here I think Bazuf is most guilty of this. “Let’s get this game out of RVS” This just smacks of trying to look proactive and patting himself on the back in public.
VOTE: Bazuf[/]
Two: We have meta evidence that he presents reads early in the game strongly. We also have evidence of him using the same read in a previous game as town. I don't see how his voting logic here is flawed.
Three: This is actually a fair point. That being said, his post (as evidenced by the discourse around it) actually has been quite productive.-

Like, I get that you also have strong reads on people and how the game should be played, and you're willing to stand by them, but I struggle to agree with so many of them. This is a large part of why I am townreading you in the first place but it's a really weird position.
I guess I should ask other people if they share this sentiment? Some things that come to mind are:
1) policying low activity players
2) scumreading Naerys for her poor English
3) conversation with Bob around lurking
You strike me as an extremely paranoid town player, and that's why I was rather motivated to defend Bazuf in this circumstance.-

Going to end this conversation here in the interest of doing other things.
I think your logic on Bazuf's caveat being scum-motivated is a little paranoid. It could just be that he has a personal heuristic for how scum operate and wanted clarification from Bella to see if it would apply. The idea that a gut read without meta is inauthentic makes enough sense that I could see someone holding that view consistently. I wouldn't say hypocritical, but personally I struggle to support your read on Bazuf both for aforementioned meta reasons but also because I don't think it's fair for you to be this opinionated about what is town and what is scum and then scumread Bazuf for having a heuristic related to gut reads and meta. Your logic just doesn't work for me and I'm just going to interpret it as a gut read.
As we've talked about earlier, you don't need to be consistent to be a town player, but it's just my reasoning.

Do you not feel like you're just moving the goalposts constantly with me? Like originally you hated the post and now you're whatever with it but there's other stuff wrong with me. I feel like you're just tunneling random people and trying to make cases on them that don't make sense.In post 381, Civil Scum wrote: Now, I didn't particularly care for the read at the time, but since then there has been some agreement that Naerys play seems off, lacking conviction, confused, 'just vibing', etc.
I'm not really sure how you got the impression that the post totally allayed my suspicions, but whatever. Like you're clearly just reading whatever you want from my slot which is just confusing. Here are some quotes from my last town game where I change my mind on something.In post 381, Civil Scum wrote: I simply don't believe that this was enough to change KKFC's mind. I haven't played with KKFC, but I've read a little bit of his games, and he's not exactly one to let a point go.
Yet here, when he is asking about why Naerys thought his post about me was weird, he apparently accepted whole-heartedly the very convincing explanation 'I don't know, your post simply looks weird to me.'
In post 214, KatyKimFanClub wrote: Doubting my read on Jason now. Will comment more on why after a bit.
If anything, I'm accused of being too indecisive this game as town, and while I'm trying to get better at it, I definitely change my reads pretty often because I often see people's responses to me too truthfully. I'm not sure how you can say you've read my previous games and come to the conclusion that you have. Seriously, that meta read on me is literally the exact opposite of my playstyle, and I'm so confused what your endgame is here. A player in this game, PC, literally accused me of not sticking to my reads and gave me advice on it last game.In post 220, KatyKimFanClub wrote:

I trust the response from Naerys because it's not a good enough one to have been coached by a partner and because it's actually a response that she later backed with evidence. If she didn't come back with a game thread where she got pocketed, then my suspicions would have returned.
Similarly, for my post where I forgot the number of people in the game,I literally had a conversation with you where I pointed out that most of the 13 player games in the mini normal archives had 3 scum, I also have clearly been reading the thread the entire game based off of my activity and response times.-

Like I'm actually so fucking baffled by your reads this game, and not just for me. Can someone else please do a sanity check if what I'm saying makes sense?-

14: expresses policy elimination on lurkers
104: votes Naerys for tortured language in a post
132: suspicious of Bob for posting quickly after getting quoted and comments about wagon.
162: case against Bazuf (emoji, unconcerned about E-2 RVS, scumreading someone Civil himself townreads, LAMIST, thinks Bazuf case against gut reads is bad)
172: shades PC
184: says vote on PC or Hu Tao might be productive
243: original scumread on me.Claims he doesn't think it's scummy for people to lack conviction about their reads.
248: scumreads Greeting for giving towncred for newbieposting, also a few other interactions that I'm not going to list
Note at this point chronologically that he hasn't FOS-ed Random Nurse, who at that point has been tied for the least active player in the game.
373: suspects PC paranoia to be LAMIST or at least self-serving. Notice that he already made six suspects in 307 SO AT THIS POINT HE PRESUMABLY SCUMREADS OR IS ABOUT TO MAKE A CASE FOR SCUMREADING OVER HALF OF THE GAME.
Other notable posts that are scummy:
Townreads Naerys (278) AFTER my interaction with her. Interacts with me about that post too. Later claims that I am bussing in 381. This chronology proves to me that you are literally just looking for random evidence to confirm your reads. You had everything in front of you when you were talking to me yesterday about my interactions with Naerys, and you only came back later with a read you can't possibly justify like "there's no way KKFC is flipping his read on Naerys there". This isn't a statement you can prove at all, and honestly I don't know where it comes from because I've already given you two examples from one game where I flip reads in an indecisive way as town. You aren't actually gathering evidence or accumulating to a read, you are just throwing reads out randomly and going back later and looking for scraps to justify it. This is why you have really bullshit evidence like Bazuf's use of emojis, or my completely bogus town meta that makes no sense. At best, this is tunneling, at worst, it's just straight up anti-town behavior as scum.
You also claimed I am skimming threads despite a conversation with me where I literally look through mini archives and telling him that probably we have 3 scum. I don't explicitly say that this game has 13 players, but considering three of the last four Mini Normals with 11 players have had 2 scum players (Mini Normal 2107 11 players 2 scum, Mini Normal 2101 11 players 2 scum, Mini Normal 2066 11 players 3 scum, Mini Normal 2033 11 players 2 scum) it would make no sense for me to say that there's three scum if I think there are 11 players unless you think I slipped.
Later posts 342 where he claims Hu Tao (posted 4 times about two hours before 342) is lurking.
253: "just a read" townread on Starfire, townreads RN for putting him out of E-2 despite RN not being active the entire game. Strangely, basically no one interacts with these two reads.
Once again, I'm not asking for consistency, but I think you might be projecting when you claim things like I'm skimming threads because you haven't exactly shown great comprehension either.
At this point, there's only two possible conclusions
1) You're scum who is trying to add as much noise as possible to try to force a policy vote on a town inactive at the end of the day.
2) (small but decent possibility) you are just a huge miscalibrated town player, which doesn't make you the worst policy vote today. If you survive, scum will just let you live until endgame at which point you will lose town this game.
I was trying to be nice originally when you brought up things like policy'ing inactive players because I figured you were coming from an old meta, but at this point it's time to rip off the bandaid and just eliminate you. You're anti-town.

Then why is your vote on me? Push for a wagon on an inactive and hope it gets them to stop lurking.In post 387, Civil Scum wrote: Suggesting I’m more anti town than RN or Bazuf at this point? Don’t be ridiculous. I’ll still vote to eliminate any of the less active players if no one else thinks my scum reads have any merit.
How does that make sense at all given you said this to me earlier?In post 387, Civil Scum wrote: Also, as PC said,being too flimsy on your reads can be used to push you since it is a bit scummy. You can hardly blame me for that.
Like pick one, but don't push me for both. You originally pushed on me for saying it was scummy for Naerys to not sound convinced of her own reads. You then claimed my meta was that I don't change my reads. After I showed you that wasn't the case, you now are saying that being too flimsy on my reads is actually scummy. Either way, that quote is from a game where PC hard townread me and was trying to give me advice. He never actually scumread me for that indecisiveness.In post 243, Civil Scum wrote: I gotta be honest, unlike Greeting, I don’t love this post.I don’t think it’s scummy at all to lack conviction about your reads.
This is what I'm talking about. You say "Look this is weird, because KKFC never changes his reads as town and now he did". And when I give you evidence from a game where I did, you say "well, actually being really flimsy is a bit scummy, so you can't blame for reading that". DESPITE YOU LITERALLY SAYING EARLIER THAT YOU THOUGHT A POST OF MINE WAS SCUMMY FOR PUSHING SOMEONE FOR BEING FLIMSY. Not to mention, you've changed your reads more than me this game, so why exactly was that a piece of evidence in your push on me in the first place?
You make no sense man.-

Why would I not count Bob or Hu Tao? You listed them as your #1 and #3 suspects in 307. Why are you lying about how many people you've tunneled on this game? Are you skimming the thread? Skimming is scum indicative.In post 387, Civil Scum wrote: If you count Naerys, Bazuf, and Greeting, you’re the fourth player I’ve gone after. I don’t think that qualifies as tunneling at least in the way I understand the term.-

To recap, your case on me is now that you think it's out of my own meta to change my read on someone. I showed you from my meta that that isn't the case. Your rebuttal is now that it looks scummy for someone to change their reads, despite you changing your reads many more times than me this game and your earlier statement that flimsy reads isn't scum indicative. And you're still voting for me.-

more vagueness for you to hide your reads behindIn post 393, Civil Scum wrote: Flimsy and lacking conviction are not the same thing and it’s about degrees and the players and their reasoning and the stage of the game.
actually makes more sense now. Still, I don't get how you have a list of six people with an additional scumread given after and say that you've only "gone after" four players?In post 393, Civil Scum wrote: Bob and Hu Tao were never that high for me you have the list upside down.
How is my example with Naerys different than the one with Jason? That's why I provided the quote. I made a read, was given more evidence, then changed my mind.In post 393, Civil Scum wrote: Also I didn’t say you don’t change your mind, I said you sometimes don’t let a point go. And you dropped a point with Naerys suddenly it seemed to me. I’ve been skimming meta since I’m looking at everyone I’ll admit, my time is not unlimited.-

I haven't said this out loud but based on my questioning it's been implied. I have no issue with anyone, you included, ever pushing people as long as I think it's consistent and coming from a reasonable place. If it's not, then I have no confidence in the logic of genuine belief behind the vote.
Your reads on me and Bazuf made no sense to me, particularly the meta portions of both arguments, which is why I've been pushing against them.-

Question since I sense things calming down. Do you think it's inexplicable to try to push someone away from a bad read? Surely you see the merit in my original points about Bazuf (that he has a strong town meta indicative post, that he uses emojis, that he pushes on people early in games). Sure, we disagreed about whether it was appropriate for him to give the caveat, but if you're me and you read someone whose push has a lot of points that don't deserve merit, you would speak up right?In post 396, KatyKimFanClub wrote:

Do you think it's scum indicative of me to defend someone so strongly? Do you want to make a comment about whether that aligns with my meta?In post 400, Civil Scum wrote: Calling it inexplicable was a reach. I would have preferred Bazuf answered for himself. And I would say that in my 8 or 9 games here it was probably the strongest defense I’ve seen given for an inactive player.-

To be honest, I never go into an argument with the intention of making a big deal of it. I'm just an argumentative person and that's probably why I play so much Mafia.-

This is a fair point. I honestly didn't think critically about her saying that the post was still weird, I only really responded to the second part of 267 and then after that I ended up getting a little sick and very busy responding to other things in the thread. I will say though that I thought her defense was (I'm struggling to find the right word to describe the vibe. Ineloquent? Honest? Spartan?) enough to convince me that it wasn't coached and it was a genuine struggle to describe the reasoning behind the read.In post 399, Civil Scum wrote: More specific to letting a point go with Naerys was you asking what she thought was weird about a post of yours and then accepting her just repeating that it was weird.-

You would understand why I don't put much weight into your meta reads at all at this point right? If you're going to say it makes me look more town you should just say it out loud.In post 405, Civil Scum wrote: I won’t lie, I have a bit of meta read on you but it sadly doesn’t apply to this situation and there’s no way I’m going to tell you what it is.-

A bulletproof miller indicates to me there’s a vig in the game. From a setup standpoint, I’m not sure why else the Miller would be bulletproof. Looking at the archives, the only other game with a 1-shot bulletproof Miller did have a vig.
Now, if we get to endgame and there isn’t a vig shot or claim, then I’ll be a little suspicious.
Iavh what do you think of this analysis?-
