What makes you want to keep your eye on me?
I'm mad at myself that I'm hung up on you. You want me to think you're someone and I don't think you really are who you want me to think you are.
You nominated me for some kind of award, I saw? Thanks, I guess.

@Alch - what do you think of TTH? What do you think of her assumption that I'm reading you, Varian, and her as scummy because she thinks it's likely that I had SE/IC scum in my newbie game?


I think TTH is Town for their posts regarding Bella.
I don't really know about the IC/SE thing, I just know a lot of newbie players tend to tunnel the ICs out of paranoia, so I guess if your IC or SE's were scum in that game
you might confuse a more experienced style as scummy.
@Alch-

Can you give a little bit of an explanation on how TTH looked town based on their early posts re: Bella?

Can you also elaborate on how TTH conveyed an experienced playstyle? As she asserted and you've agreed with on multiple occasions?

I usually check the playerlists when making lists. Where are silver and TTH? We know your reads on them but its nice to have organized lists, no?

Anyways, welcome to the game, both Diego and Performer. I'll post a readslist in just a bit when I'm not on mobile but for now: I'm still learning town on silver but I'd like to see him continue to post meaningfully if that read will stay. I like performers entrance (replacement of Flow, right?)

Alch's continued defense of TTH doesn't make sense to me at all, still, and its weak to boot.

Panther has come back around to town for me, I think I misread his Luna/Sparrow interactions, especially considering his behaviour now.

Also I like this vote better rn, plus it has support

It's killing me that TTH can't garner votes from town here.
And I think TTH, Alch, and Shiro (@Shiro - desperately holding onto that SilverJaws wagon, huh?) make complete sense for a scum team (I know, I know, pre-flip associatives aren't the best. I fully expect to be reminded of this. Likely by those I'm associating).
Though I wouldn't hate a Mario lynch bc I'm not sold on Alch and Shiro.
If SilverJaws is scum, it'll become more apparent. I just don't think the case is good as it stands.

Yes...yes I am. Because the more time passes the more certain I get that he will flip scum. It is exactly what I said and now we went from L-1 with intent to L-2. He came doing pretty much nothing and waited, because when you wait and do nothing while others talk the spotlight eventually leave you. He instead of PROVING he is town(even when at l-1 with intent) stayed in the background, said nothing and is waiting for us to move on. He knows many people are inclined to not kill him because he replaced in. He knows other wagon can easily form(and evidentally it happened) and he knows the more time passes the more people will just shrug off, null read him and say bleh we will sort him out later. >.>


The very fact two counterwagons to his existed (TTH and Mario) makes it even more possibly that he is scum and his buddies tried to make counterwagons. Just agh >.>

Btw I think ika hunts scum via making enough townreads to PoE the scum. Which is why he lacks scumhunting

Oh I didn't know that about Mario.

I asked them for reads list as I'm most concerned about them. But if you have a reads list for me, that's great too. I noticed your recent analysis regarding Silver. Looks pro-town to me.

I replaced Flow, yes.

As for Pant, I must add that his interactions can lead toward extreme tunneling. Based on 1 of his games, this game, and even by his admission of "death tunnel," it looks like it's his consistent playstyle against players he thinks are scummy.

Just finished an ISO, here’s what I have.


Town:

PantherPunt
– does plenty of reasonable scumhunting, reads list at
Silverjaws/Lizard_Buttock
– read Liz as more of a null but Silv really galvanized the ship hull for me, in terms of coming across pro-town at post . His is his logical-looking reads list though I disagree with some of it, based on what I saw in ISO of players
MaxwellPuckett

Null:

Alchemist21

Vedith
– leaned town for him based on his ISO posts. Saw he voted Lizard. After that vote, on he calls out Silv as scum as scum. Maybe a scumhunt move at Silv, to get a reaction test?
Shiro/Varian

Diego1487/TellTaleHeart

Luna Fox/JoramvanVugt
– reads list at


Suspicious:

Bellaphant
– Lacking enough scumhunting
Firebringer
– reads list at . Lacking enough scumhunting though
Ika
– Lacking enough scumhunting
MarioManiac4/Sparrowbird
– really don’t like his that seemed to appear from thin air, to vote Bell. I’m mixed about his , as he appeared to put in reads on Pant, Luna, Alch; then he lightheartedly adds an L-1, but the way he said it was disturbing, reckless - I don’t feel from that post, like he was careful enough. Reads list at . sounds like a frustrated town and/or frustrated new player – not saying I like the tone there one bit though. Posts from his replacement, Mario, so far – aren’t reasonable enough for me to remove my FoS. My first impression of his is scummy behavior


I would have to vote Mario.

VOTE: Mario

So everyone that was on the verge of voting me it town...
three of your scumreads are "laking enough scumhunting" and literally nothing else...
and you have only three townreads?

What I said above to Panther.

He came throwing suspicion to a lot of places that could stick (TTH, Sparrow etc) then vanished in order for people to get disinterested in him and vote elsewhere. It is normal progression. When people try to engage you and you never show up it is inevitable that the read on you is slowly going to turn null and slowly but surely people will find other targets.

You know ? exactly what is happening now . I mean when does town get pushed to L-1 With intend and instead of at the very least try to find scum in their wagon prefer to stay totally silent ?

@Max, the 2 slots you think are missing are there, but I put the names of other players who had the slots by mistake.

These posts from TTH have
direction, confidence, and helped get the game moving
. That's about what you'd expect from an experienced player.

1st post - Self meta to show that she naked votes Bella when she is town (I find this scummy, not experienced-player play)
2nd post - Says that the self-meta post that she asked Bella to acknowledge does not have relevance. Says it does not explain why she's scumreading her (despite Bella's post being a semi-retraction of her scumread). This is not a post with direction, confidence, game advancement. It actually looks like quasi-self-contradiction, misrepresentation, and redirection to Bella.
3rd post - A post where she *incorrectly* states that Joram had no completed games. That's oversight at best and blatant misdirection at worst. How does it show direction, confidence, game advancement?


In post 793, Alchemist21 wrote:She was on the early Bella wagon, but the specific reasoning was different than what others were saying about Bella at the time, which indicates to me she had legitimate reasons to scumread Bella rather than just joining a bandwagon.

Her reasons were just as thin if not thinner than anyone else who had early votes on Bella.

Ugh.
TTH and Alch are my strongest scum reads.

I smell a SilverJaws ML and a Panther NK coming here. But what can I do other than explain my scumreads as well as I can? I guess I will construct a more thorough case on Alch now...anticipating this will be a short-lived game for me.

I.. well, I have to agree with Mario here now that he's pointed it out. Performer, all of your townreads basically have the reason 'were scumhunting', and your scumreads are 'lack of scumhunting'. That's really not looking into the game as much as you should be, I mean... scum scumhunts, and even inexperienced scum are usually able to do so while looking pretty genuine. Using that criteria as a black-and-white means to separate town from scum isn't the best of ideas. What's interesting is the most developed read is the one on Mario.. which, upon reflection (now that I'm not distracted by the lecture I was supposed to be paying attention to earlier) seems like it could be to excuse your vote on Mario.

Reads incoming. I'm getting less opposed to the Silver wagon as the day drags on.

TTH heart naked voted rather than asking questions. Hmm.

"Hmm." indeed. I'm a little interested in why you would think that's scummy given how Bees went (reference).

She didn't directly acknowledge what I brought up about Bees! but did indirectly (and vaguely) concede that I tend to "votes [her] within a few rl days of the thread opening." It's a point that doesn't really have any relevance and certainly doesn't reveal anything about why she's scum reading me for my vote. The preceding sentence about Alchemist (also with little relevance to the current discussion) just makes it come off as trying to force a casual tone.

Unless I get some concrete proof he makes these kinds of commets as Town, I think this is the most likely to turn up scum atm.

Did a little stalking on this and he doesn't have any completed games and I'm working from the assumption that he's a newbie. What, specifically, about Joram is bothersome to you?


These posts from TTH have
direction, confidence, and helped get the game moving
. That's about what you'd expect from an experienced player.

1st post - Self meta to show that she naked votes Bella when she is town (I find this scummy, not experienced-player play)
2nd post - Says that the self-meta post that she asked Bella to acknowledge does not have relevance. Says it does not explain why she's scumreading her (despite Bella's post being a semi-retraction of her scumread). This is not a post with direction, confidence, game advancement. It actually looks like quasi-self-contradiction, misrepresentation, and redirection to Bella.
3rd post - A post where she *incorrectly* states that Joram had no completed games. That's oversight at best and blatant misdirection at worst. How does it show direction, confidence, game advancement?

Her reasons were just as thin if not thinner than anyone else who had early votes on Bella.

Ugh.
TTH and Alch are my strongest scum reads.

I smell a SilverJaws ML and a Panther NK coming here. But what can I do other than explain my scumreads as well as I can? I guess I will construct a more thorough case on Alch now...anticipating this will be a short-lived game for me.


TTH helped get the game moving by getting people talking. Experienced players often step up in this way. And you need to get it out of your head that self-meta is automatically scummy. She didn't bring it up to say she's Town, she brought it up to say Bella should know the naked vote was null at best.
