What about Rory's ISO makes you think that he is town specifically? Which posts did you like best? My townread on Rory is based on having been his scumbuddy in a previous game, so you probably have a different reason.

Just the tone of their posts coupled with their questions during the beginning. I am conflicted because they decided you were town early on. Ughhhh
If you read rorys iso though it is them just obvtowning. Scum team kept them alive for a reason (cause of townread on bc?). Sorry that this is just me rambling but meh.- Dwlee99

I think there's a high probability in both. My early reading/catching up, and the fact that he's on every lynch makes me want to lean Bastion, but BC has almost been too helpful in some ways and I think I may have been giving them a pass for how much they were seeing what I was seeing.
So I think BC might be the better choice for today.<3 Kise, Reck, dram, tans, & Kats <3- Dwlee99

no idea; he's been busy with work i think. I've posted in the hydra PT that it's LYLO and when the deadline is and he's read it but he hasn't said anything.
But both of my other LYLO games are over now (I was scum in both of them and they were exhausting and this last one came down to the last 90 minutes). I really can't handle more than one LYLO at a time and I was prioritising them by when the deadline was, but this is now my only LYLO so I'm here. Finally.

FYI, I'm not a fan of this misrepresentation.
I didn't state that BC and MS are TVT. I asked it as a question, which means that I was unsure. I didn't state it outright that it was a TvT interaction as you are saying here.
In post 1270, Starbuck wrote:Could Metal Sonic and BeardedCat be TvT? Both are coming to the table with points that I easily could have made and I like it.
I don't think that you calling that a misrep is fair. Reading into your quote in 1270, you said that both MS and BC made points you liked, which I interpreted as you leaning town on them. I guess it's just me not being able to read into things very well, but I thought that the question you posed was more of a "hey, guys, what do you think about my thoughts on MS and BC" not "hey, guys, I'm not really sure about MS and BC"did another ms user do something lovely? recognize their achievements here!

@dwlee: No, actually I'm just explaining my own activity because I feel bad about what a non presence I've been this LYLO. This game is a commitment that I take seriously and I feel like I haven't been pulling my weight. I have the same 2 in 5 = 40% chance of being scum as anyone else does at this point. I've had some offline stuff going on and I was also in 3 LYLOs at once which was two too many. What I'm saying is that I can be around more often now than I was before.
BBT is barely active sitewide. Not completely siteflaked but perpetually behind everywhere. And he likes being scum so inactivity isn't alignment indicative for him. His last post in the hydra PT was on the 16th of November. If you thinkyou'reannoyed about BBT's activity levels...

@Errant - I feel like the answer to your question was in the post that was above it. Is there a certain point in this that you would like some more elaboration?
In post 1575, Starbuck wrote:In post 1571, Errantparabola wrote:my question to Starbuck is: what changed?
So you chopped the inital part of my thought when it came to not really being able to see the town motivation of Dwlee and KT's early posts. It's answered right there:
In post 1247, Starbuck wrote:Dwlee vs KT is weird.It feels like trying to add posts/be active for the sake of doing it and/or distancing.Like I can't really see the Town motivation behind either of them.
It really came down to that either/or scenario on, at least, KT. With how much pal-ing around was going on between the two of them, plus their constant voting with each other, I can't believe that I would be the only person to think about the possibility of double scum between them. I did want to give each of them a chance to prove that they weren't. Dwlee, seemingly, passed that test and KT failed horribly.
As it went on, though, Dwlee was reacting in a manner that I would consider as town. In all actuality, I started reading Dwlee as much more genuine than KT. KT was nothing but over the top AtE (that whole under 18 thing could easily have been a way that KT slid under everyone's radar), WIFOM, forced case on Scorpious, overdefensiveness, deflection ("look at what so-in-so is doing" as a response) and just odd statements like "everyone is guilty until proven innocent." It didn't seem to be coming from a town perspective and I called it out from the get go of when I replaced in and it turns out, I was 100% spot on.<3 Kise, Reck, dram, tans, & Kats <3- BeardedCat

Now that my scumgame is complete I can say that I think I townread Rory a little prematurely; he didn't play all that well as scum in July/August when we were scum together, and as a result I was townreading his slot in n1653 for similar reasons to my townread on his slot in this game (tone mainly).
And then he replaced out of all of his games and I replaced into his slot in that game and got a scum role PM. It seems his scumplay has improved quite a bit in the intervening couple months. I had to pretend that I didn't know that until yesterday, but cat's out of the bag now. Rory's scumgame isn't as obvious as I had to pretend it was in order to win that other game.
I'll keep that in mind when I get to ISOing Rory/Starbuck; it will probably be easiest to form an opinion primarily based on Starbuck's play instead.
I'm going to ISO people now, in order of who has the least posts first because maybe I'll be able to get through several ISOs that way today.
Spoiler: apparently i have a lot of thoughts about this iso.
Okay, so reading through this I feel like Errant is a fairly cautious newer player but I like the depth of their approach and a lot of their posts seem more likely to come from newerTown than from scum because they don't seem to be accomplishing scum agenda type stuff; I think scum would have figured that theKTslot would not live to LYLO (definitely before dwlee started standing up forKTbut even after that, the slot was never going to make it into the townbloc) and good day 1 scumplay would be to try to tie theKTslot to various townslots, which didn't happen.
I also don't think Errant makes much sense as a scumbuddy for any living player except maybeBastion I guess but I really just think Errant is town.

Spoiler: probably will be verbose about this too
Probably scum. I'm getting a migraine but tomorrow I'll look at starbuck/rory and maybe i'll get to dwlee but i may not finish dwlee tomorrow because 253 posts is a lot of posts. i'll be ready to vote before the deadline though.

In post 1616, BeardedCat wrote:Errant, I know later you say that you thought it was a TvT, after dwlee had backed down and called KT town, but back at this point in the game when the fight was still raging, did you think it was more TvT or SvS and why?
I remember Bella and some other folks thought that there was something weird about that interaction. I never understood that. How are you able to say that the interaction is weird coming from one side without knowing which side it's coming from? So I never really bought the whole TvS thing at that point because no one made any convincing arguments. My read on the two was mainly null, but I was willing to acknowledge that Dwlee was likelier town. I also never bought (and still don't buy) the SvS argument.
In post 1615, Starbuck wrote:@Errant - I feel like the answer to your question was in the post that was above it. Is there a certain point in this that you would like some more elaboration?
Not exactly... I guess what I'm trying to ask is were there any association tells between KT and Dwlee that made you think that they were scum together? If so, did those association tells change or did Dwlee's towniness override those tells?

I don't buy this at all.
1. The tone thing is just parroting what BC said way back in D1
2. The tone thing is pretty sketchy anyway (like what does "I like your tone" even mean")
3. I have never understood and probably never will understand how people think that asking questions is alignment indicative unless there is something specific about the questions that shows specific motivation behind them
I think that Star (and BC for that matter) have been acting town in a vacuum but I'm suspicious of how BC decides to back out of their rory townread, which they never really went in depth on in the first place. I can see backtracking happening much more easily in LYLO because the stakes are higher. Not only this, but the murky status of the rory townread gives BC easy opportunity to say "now that I think about it, maybe rory isn't town after all" which was, you know, also never really elaborated on. So maybe it's an attempt at distancing between the two of them?did another ms user do something lovely? recognize their achievements here!
