If I don't have a computer to post on I don't have a computer to post on.
So, complain if you want, but I don't understand why you're complaining if you aren't scumreading me.
I'm not complaining at you, I was questioning HCL. HCL was concerned with both of us, but was willing to give you a free pass because you posted that your wifi was out. We've all got plenty of things going on in real life.

I don't like your defending your development of reads based primarily on activity. Somebody can be active and "passionate" and still be full of crap. Using activity as your litmus test of townieness leads to wishy washy reads, another list of which you've posted here.
I haven't posted a second set of reads. What you quoted above was my response to Akuseru's criticism.
The longer someone pursues something passionately, the harder it is for them (and the more opportunity to slip up), which weeds out bad scum players (increasing the likelihood they are town). So either you and Thespio are town or godly scum (and I don't think you're godly scum).
HCL, what is the alternative to base your reads on at this stage of the game?
I try to figure out people's motivation for posting things. More concretely, I look for inconsistency in logic, nonsensical arguments and votes, and try to see if somebody has a specific voting pattern. Amount of activity does figure into it to a degree, but I don't automatically associate an active player with being pro-town, nor do I see a lurky player as scummy by default. It all depends on the content of their posts. If a player who lurks just pops in from time to time and doesn't post anything substantial I find that scummy, which is what I'm seeing from you.
You seem eager to lynch Stoz. I think he's scummy myself, but I don't see you explicitly state reasons other than that you scumread him (which can easily be deduced). We have two days to deadline, why rush into this?
Why is Joram town?

That stuck out to me as strange too. Looked like scum being resigned to the fact that he'd been caught. You'd think town would put up more of a defense.
Before I buy my ticket to the Stoz train, I just want to clarify a couple things. The case on Stoz mostly stems from his lurker behavior and lack of content in posts. I agree that this makes him scummy. But could the same logic be applied to notscience who has played in a similar manner (after having a strong start)? His haste in voting Stoz irked me a bit and he posted a list of townreads (something which many players, notscience included, criticized Stoz for) that didn't even contain any explanation of why he townread or scumread anybody. I don't mind a Stoz lynch, I just don't want to rush into it.
