RC, all I want is for you to elaborate on things
Vyse and I can't both be scum, so there's no reason to withhold anything because one of us can hold the other accountable (although I suppose we ARE townreading each other but meh)
plus if you think LQ is confirmed scum, I don't see why you won't cooperate here
can you help make my Christmas wish come true ;_;If you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

also consider that Titus really only double downed on the LQ buddying after I pointed it out in thread, which is what makes me so sure that it's scum-super-buddying-Town and not Scum Kabuki Theatre
I noticed her buddying LQ early, and was gonna hold it close to my chest in case Titus WAS scum so I could catch her off-guard and then LQ being scummy forced my hand kinda.If you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

Vyse, only your iso 26 and 27 contain ANYTHING that could remotely be considered scumhunting.
Everything else is just you making extremely shallow comments
I note that you never shared a read about Titus, though you said that you scumread? LQ because of Titus's defense?
Like how does that work?
You never said a flipping word to her either the entire game, so there's that.-

Like, I'm not even sure how to interpret those posts.
Then you're an idiot.
But I'll take that bet.
What bet?
You should have also figured out that activity is a null tell at best for me after last game.
You have 30 posts and no scumhunting in any of them. That's not an activity issue.
I was even worse there. You & Jake kinda killed what fun I was having with that game, TBH, but IRL has the same effect.
You posted little, yes, but you were clearly scumhunting in a ton of posts. In this one you're standing on the sidelines throwing cheap shots.
Eh, sorry, not really great of me to lose my cool.
Point does stand that I don't view you as highly as you seem to.
And where does this even come from?
If it's not basically saying that I'm so bad I need to be killed so I don't screw the town over, what does it mean?
It hardly applies to the rest of what you've said.

Here's my original LQ case Pie, though I note that as I told Postie it doesn't adequately cover my points.
We should use them sparingly. The reason for this is that it distracts what is actually happening in-thread if we have too many going on at the same time.
This is what's called IIOA (information instead of analysis.) It's considered a scumtell because it's generally easier for scum to discuss strategy (universal) versus reads (game dependent.)
I don't put too much stock in it but it's one of the first things I noticed.
Something wrong with the argument I made?
Note that here he comments on a vote on him without even CONSIDERING the possibility that the person voting for him is scum, and tries to direct conversation away from his alignment to the argument.
The latter is likely unconscious but I imagine that town LQ would not respond in this way.
Its harder to read people 1v1 Vs 2v1 or even 3. In 1v1, people can think things through more. This is going to give scum the advantage since Town is going to be overly suspicious or overly trusting of the other person. The less Town know in a 1v1 situation, the more bias they will be. With more people it is easier to get accurate reads on individual scum members.
This is both complete bunk and heavily IIOA.
Holding up under pressure is incredibly hard in a 1v1 situation for scum.
I think he's afraid to face such an eventuality for himself and is therefore pushing away from it.
That's a big thing in his early.
I got bored of post by posting so I'll tackle the rest in generalities.
His attitude towards Titus is absolutely bizarre in iso 10-17. He scumreads her in one post, townreads her the next, calls her "Titus being Titus" (ie town) immediately after and then tries to jump her bones into a room together then IMMEDIATELY AFTER calls her scum again.
I could see it either being awkward distance between buddies or being LQ wanting to "pocket" Titus as he himself put it or even just incredibly sloppy scum play independent of any attempt to manipulate Titus.
I can't see it as being from town.
Errr... preflip associations are bad so why are you asking people to do that with such little content???
True, maybe. But telling me that the question is bad and not following up at all is not really town play. It's a minor thing, but no bueno.
If you ever want to buddie Titus the way to do it is by appearing very reasonable and giving Titus the benefit of the doubt on a lot of stuff. Unfortunately for Scum, that is a strategy that is very much a double edged sword, which is why Scum usually try to oppose her rather than buddie her. Make sense?
I mean, this is really obviously kissing Titus's ass and also really doesn't make sense coming from his (at this point, though it fluctuates post by post) point of view that Titus is likely scum.
I'll let someone else who knows my meta a bit answer why you have no clue what you are talking about.
Scummy as shit, but I can't really articulate why.
This post in particular is actually the big one that made me decide to rxn test him.
But its the fight of the century tho.
Like you have to make your case. How do you do that without engaging with me?
You make no sense.
You say "1v1 me m8" and then say you don't want to talk?
VOTE: RC The OMGUS is real, y'all better recognize...
Now as I noted in thread in isolation this is actually a reasonably town reaction, minus the excessive defusing of the situation which would make sense if he thought I was joke voting.
I was actually as it happens, so I was like eh this isn't working until
You are aware that RC has been on this site for a while? You understand that it is prolly pretty easy for RC to fake that as Scum?
This kind of sniping at other people's townreads is extremely common from scum.
It also proves LQ's general attitude of wariness towards me which becomes part of my major scumread later.
And how is what you did Townie?
Again sniping at people's townreads.
Definitely don't think that LQ wants me being townread here.
@RC, you are reaching to the extent that it looks foolish.
LOOKS foolish. not IS foolish.
then I call him out big time and we get this
You are giving me way too much credit. In truth, I never consider myself a leader really in any game. I have tried to do it once and I ended up sheeping someone else. I have a very single mindedness about me when I play the game. If you want to know how to read me all you have to consider is this:
As Town I don't keep track of who said what about who or even pay attention to a series of events that take place during the game. I just look at posts and try to see if it is a Town post or a Scum post and that is really it.
As Scum All I really do is try to play like I would play my Town game trying to give the same kind of reasoning for my reads which is very difficult for me. I have a horrible Scum game and am caught very early most of the time.
Basically the entire point of this is saying that his town game is scummy because it doesn't follow reason and that his scum game is shit so he'd be autolynched.
Aka, appealing to his own generally scummy town play and shitty scum play (claimed) to avoid pressure.
Why else make this post in this way?
Baseless. Completely. I was not uncomfortable at all. I think you are Scum looking for an easy lynch or just have a really bad case of confirmation bias.
Completely uncomfortable here, and in fact the word I was looking for is frazzled.
He's acting weird under pressure from me.
Talked about most of the rest in thread and
You came across, and genuinely still do, that you are not sure enough of things for me to think you are Town. You have been actively scum hunting, asking questions and generally trying to figure out and sort peoples alignments.
Most generic townread reason.
Now, the majority of this though is that he's clearly super wary of me.
IDK if this follows well, and it definitely misses a lot of the weird wording that shows that he's cracking under (the admittedly tiny) pressure that's the majority of the read, but it's where I'm at.-

I'm expressing frustration more than anything. I'm sorry, but your style does get on my nerves. (Mutual feeling and all that, I'm sure. This is an explanation, deal with it, etc.)
I do think you're rather being blind in some regards, but eh. We'll burn that bridge when it comes to it.
To say I'm not scumhunting is ridiculous. To say I'm doing it poorly & haltingly isn't. I'm not particularly inclined to argue the difference right now. If it comes up, I'll deal with it in the game thread, where I'll only have to have one long & tedious fight with everybody at the same time.
I brought up that game to point that I do occasionally tune out of a game when stuff happens. To date, I've never had trouble with a scum game. It's self-meta, and likely not to be taken seriously, but there it is. It almost bordered on a trust tell at one point, until I brought my Town game back into line.
By taking that bet, I mean I kinda think it's LQ too. I'll put up with you later if it's not. I'm looking at Bella & Espeon to some degree, out of respect for Pie, but I don't expect to lynch anyone but LQ.-

If Bella and Espe can get enough pressure for me to get a read on them, and if they end up becoming townreads for me, I could see settling for LQjustto get that paranoia out of the way. But that's still in more of a last resort/standstill scenario.If you don't know how to lie, then how do you know when you're being lied to?

Because I have a stronger Townread on BNL than you. That's basically what it boils down to. This game is easy if I just have one less non-strong Townread to deal with.
It's largely why I'm bodyguarding Pie, despite having a decent amount of faith in my own judgment, BNL v. Titus notwithstanding. (Granted, it earned Pie some respect as well, while I'll grant you're probably a better scum hunter than BNL.)
I gather you're worried about missing an LQ lynch. I offered to push it hard for you if you died, since I'm already leaning that direction, given that I've never seen him react to pressure quite this way before.
You said to go to heck, and I'm basically saying the heck with it.-

No, I'm not worried about LQ not getting lynched, I'm worried about you.
We'll see what mon amour Postie has to say.
