and I stood there loving you and wished them all away.
And you come away with a great little story
of a mess of a dreamer with the nerve to adore you...
— "Cold as You",
Yeah, this is a bit of a quiet group. Sorry for being a part of that.In post 172, LucianRoy wrote:@Aristo In regards to scum "blending in," that's kind of wine-ish, but it is rooted in a common strategy.
Sorry, I thought you didn't read my post so I brought it up without elaboration.
pedit: What do you mean? When you scumread people, don't you make logical connections with the other people you scumread? If you want to out scum, you have to find those connections early so they don't disappear later. I connected all the people I currently scumread for different reasons because it was simple, and seemed like a simple thing to do. You don't need a scum flip to "confirm" one of them as scum in order to form cohesive scum reads on the others. Plus, I'm trying to lynch one of my reads right now, if they flip scum, then the rest will be easy.
Well, if it seems like a stretch, then you might want to blame it on nearly half the roster having less posts than the mod. I don't have a ton to go at the moment, and we aren't making a ton of progress.

gonna need this one explained thx
Okay, I can respect that.In post 179, LucianRoy wrote:@Aristo, my scum reads day one are weird.
If one of them flips scum, I might pursue the others, that being the logical thing to do.
If one of the flips scum, I might not scum read the others as much.
Really, what I'm trying to do is to link together scumminess in order for our chances of lynching scum being higher. I've found connections among three people, and I scum read all three of them. The odds of lynching scum increase this way as well.

Boo voted him. I scumread boo. Boo OMGUS voted him at that.
Plus, there was a giant train earlier. The likelihood that one of those people are scum is most likely.
He also voted ESP when we saw the strange question.
The only thing kind of scummy is the fact that he has no scumreads... I think.
Or at least, he certainly hasn't posted them.

walk me through why?
do you have a read on Aris?
In post 188, Endless Possibilities wrote:yo Bookitty, can you do me a favor and look through Soren's ISO in this game?
In post 137, Soren wrote:What do you make of all those votes on you anti?
In post 139, Soren wrote:I don't know why there was a need to tell us that you love all of us. Especially for the first post of the game.
And then proceeds with a OMGUS vote?
In post 155, Soren wrote:After going over some of your posts again, I didn't really put much thought when I voted for you. I was mainly influenced by other people's reasons for voting for you.
In post 198, Bookitty wrote:I did that. I didn't glean a lot from it, because it's pretty obviously one of the first games he played here. It's pretty jam-packed with newbie questions or questions intended to look newbie, which I agree is not the same situation as in this game.
In post 198, Bookitty wrote:@Endless Possibilities: Do you think that Soren is typically pretty wishy-washy on his own opinions or generally easily led? Do you have experience of him as town in a completed game? I read this:
Mini 1650: Greatest Idea Mafia
and Soren seemed a lot more forceful in that as town. His questions were much more pointed toward alignment and less busy-seeming. I don't see much other meta, but if you have it, I'll read it.
In post 198, Bookitty wrote:I didn't like this because Antihero hasn't actually posted much in this game. No one has explained their vote on him very well. His vote is on LucianRoy, whom Soren was voting earlier for "meta" reasons that apparently both of them now agree were not very strong. LucianRoy is clearly not immune to OMGUS since he is scumreading two people currently on his wagon and one who was; it seems a little out of place for him to resolutely resist the same OMGUS urge where Soren is concerned.
In post 198, Bookitty wrote:This was interesting because I was voting LucianRoy at the time. It's like Soren is only interested in asking questions among the people who were voting LucianRoy. Soren also says he just wanted to see what I would say -- again, not owning the suspicion that is pretty clear in the question imo.
It's not just the questions for me, though I watch for that more since Farside pointed out it is one of her scumhunting tools. (Yes, I shamelessly borrow from other players.) Soren hasn't had any strong views -- in fact, he sheeped me onto LucianRoy and then immediately backed off his own vote without unvoting.
