VOTE: Titus
I'm extremely reticent to vote anything else here.
I think it's abundantly clear that I haven't paid over much attention to this game on a scumhunting level and Titus has seen my active lurking as something I do early game as town on multiple occasions.
Clearly she's just jealous of FA receiving all my online affections.
I entirely agree that FA is all over the place but I note that FA in my experience with scum!her was a lot more organized and collected.
Somewhat like someone else who is being FoSed in this game for being disorganized.
At any rate, I'm disliking how fast Wickan got going and I have suspicions of Titus so I'm staying here.-

It's dramatically more likely for scum to do it because town must realize there's nothing to be fucking gained from it if I was scum.
It's the kind of thing scum push because it looks acceptable but it's not alignment indicative all, and in fact it leans towards my being town because I'm clearly not curating my posts to the extent that I do as Scum!RC.-

RC's not town. His behavior isn't town. Why are you asking why town is more likely to be scummy? Unless I got your pronouns confused?
See, you caught me in one scum game and I thought maybe you had a chance of reading me.
Have you ever read me as town where I wasn't basically mod confirmed by the setup?-

I actually think this is pretty meaningless (when it comes to me wagonning Titus, and I presume the same would hold for RC-town as well) since it's Titus. You might catch a total noob out trying to jump on a cheap wagon if they didn't know her but she's not exactly going to roll over as either alignment and is probably not someone scum want to push very hard unsolicited if she's town.
I don't recall Town!RC ever relenting from pressuring players that I think will be difficult.
I've gone so far as to fakeclaim cop when I'm positive on a scumread on a player who is going to be difficult to lynch.
(NEVER ONCE have I misdone a cop fakeclaim, nor have I done it in years, but it's something that is (was) in my repertoire)
In fact, I'd say the absolute best aspect of my town play is that I evaluate players based on how well I know they play scum.
I understand lynchbait. I'm rarely found lynching weak players.
I go for the big fish because they won't get lynched without me doing it personally.-

Also.
RC is pinging my scumdar for attempting to enforce his own meta. When I'm scum I always try to point out all the things I do as a specific alignment as a defense. It's a lousy defense because RC could actively be attempting to mimic his town meta in a game where many people are familiar with his play. Town RC would just be town RC and figure people would townread him because people know his meta.
Do you want me to make a list of games where I get pissed off at people for not townreading me when they should, and using similar arguments?
It's not a short list.-

Which is sort of the point I think. I don't think as town or scum it would be a good play to try to lolwagons Titus.
Oh, and as for scum!RC being scared of picking a 1v1 with Titus?
Like, my fallback scum meta is literally pick 1v1s with strong town players and then towntell so neither of us get lynched and I can keep screaming for their lynch the rest of the game and bitching town out for it.
It's like, my favourite thing to do, you know.-

Let's fight with BBT all day. I accidentally did get him lynched, but it's his fault for lurking.-

This Wickan wagon is crap.
RC is voting someone who she has a townread on and didn't move the vote. Wicked points this out and votes RC.
Johnny immediately votes Wicked, saying his post is uninspiring. Hold on, wtf? Town shouldn't vote townreads unless deadline is here. Wicked is townish for the pressure. I don't get why a vote there.
Taly agrees with my reasoning on RC, yet votes Wicked anyway...
FA is basically flailing looking for an acceptable wagon.
VOTE: RC
This is your first post addressing the Wicked wagon and you basically say that the WAGON is crap without saying anything about the player because:
RC is scum for townreading FA and failing to move the vote. Because that makes a ton of sense.
FA is flailing (which she's not, even if she appears to) and therefore her vote might not be good.
Taly's vote isn't good because he should be voting me ???
Johnny (who is legit obvtown) voted him over people that you believe he was scumreading more, and you have an issue with that.
So basically the crux of what you've stated here is that everyone should be voting RC (who is town), and that his (town) vote and that FA is flailing therefore her vote casts a dark shadow over the wagon.
No explanation of why what you perceive as flailing from FA is particularly scummy.
Next, we have:
1) Wickan wagon sucks
2) people push stale wagon
3) Wickan is saying what I think.
4) ice scumslip argument is shit
1) we just established is sheer idiocy.
2) stale wagoning isn't a thing. I will vote park for an entire day phase if that's what it takes to get shit done.
3) Like, this legit may make him more likely to be town in your eyes. But we have no guarantees of your alignment and nothing he says meshes with anything I think so it means fuck to me.
4) I agree, but this doesn't say shit about Wickan either.
So, yeah. Your read on the biggest wagon of the day is terrible and essentially says I'm blanket townreading Wickan because RC is scum!!
Who is the potential townbeard here again? And to be fair, I'm leaning on all 3 of you/ABR/Wicked being scum but if you're not town, you're the definite choice for that honour.-

I mean, in your experience with me, people I've legitimately been scumreading and not just voting while I sift have virtually never been wrong.
I mean, I even yanked you out as scum and got you lynched in 185.
And you saw me solve the entire scumteam with 0 scum flipped thus far in le game.
So that comment just doesn't mesh with reality, Titus's opinion of me based on her experience, or just about anything honestly.-

Honestly, that makes me want to speedlynch Titus.
I get the feeling that she wants to present the image that she's mad at me and make it seem like this is some sort of grudge vote against me so that people don't ask so many questions.
I don't get a distinct impression in general though that Titus still has issues with me and so that comment was, frankly, jarring.
I find it difficult to reconcile with any interpretation of the gamestate.-

In post 11, ICEninja wrote:Well, usually I'm *that* guy that goes in deep on the first page or two but looks like we've got someone already doing it for me. Awesome. Gives me a chance to say "hello" to the handful of players here who I recognize from the old days.
Vote Wickan. How is it scum motivated to push for information gathering regardless of what page it is?
Good.
The thing that's the most interesting to me is how Wickan's wagon got going hard super fast, to L-1. Johnny's push makes total sense and I like his vote, but Taly and Frozen Angel hopped on SUPER fast. The way the wagon stormed ahead really feels like scum got opportunistic and hopped on, and it really looks like either Taly or Frozen. Taly's post 66 looks like scum realizing this and backing out before getting caught too soon. That combined with Frozen seeming more likely town than scum in the 1v1 with talah means Taly is probscum.
This is interesting and looks very town, but I'm fairly sure it's misguided.
Not quoting 80 because it's a monstrosity but the 1v1 between Taly and Ice looks extremely TvT to me.
Particularly from Ice's part, but Taly seems pretty decent too.
Same goes #96. RIDICULOUSLY towny.
One of the big hallmarks of scum play is they so frequently admit things are possible, or that something makes sense for them as scum, only to brush it off in the next sentence. Town has absolutely no business saying this at all because if you already KNOW you're town then that thought wouldn't even enter your head, let alone "confuse" you enough to post it.
I legitimately feel like this was a substantial scum slip, as it shows insight in to a thought process that someone with a town role PM simply wouldn't have had.
A scum flip here would be extremely telling in regards to Taly too.
Unvote, Vote Wickan. This should be L-2.
This is both awesome and town, but not necessarily true.
I've thought along such lines before.
I'm not reading Ice anymore. That's town.-
