@Max, what's the full reason you're going against ABR and your change of read on Drunk? Can you summarize it in a single post? I'm pretty sure you yourself said if ABR is town he's probably dead, so why not let him be for a day and let everything sort out? Especially if he promised scum? Why do you want his lynch today?
You said you suspect it's a scum gambit in
1867 so why not let him bus his partner first if you think that's what he wants to do?
Yeah, I roll scum a lot, like, an inordinate amount. Not newbie games, my longest game as town was one where I was busy for most of it and was able to contribute very little (and this is besides the shit that was actually going on in the game and the massive town apathy). I don't have too much town experience so Iim scumhunting by looking for players playing like my scumbuddies and myself in my scum games, and by looking for scum motivation behind posts.
Full reason I'm going against ABR? I can just grab quotes of myself for that one, since I've explained it. I'll do that in another post. But, the gist of it is, I was onboard with ABR town, then he made his big claim about how he absolutely must be MC or he'll die, at that he'd gotten to the point where he was towny enough to be nightkilled but not towny enough to be MC, and so he was worried about dying. That's what he claimed. After checking if ABR knew that an elected MC doesn't get kill immunity until the day after, and that he could still be killed that night, because he doesn't actually become MC until the next day... suddenly it wasn't making sense. ABR DID know, he was the one who told us. And after I realized that, I started examining his play with nightkills in mind. He wasn't playing like someone who didn't want to die.
Meaning his post saying that he either wanted to fly under the radar and avoid nks or be MC for immunity was a lie. A lie that was put there to push for MC, so that he and his important role wouldn't die. He can say he felt safe in his position as MC, but when he made those points, he did not. And no, I don't think he's trying to draw the nightkill as town. If he was, he wouldn't have played like this, he wouldn't have constructed this elaborate MC campaign and then subtly put in that he actually didn't care about nightkills.. ABR himself is saying that he's not one for big plans, that he wouldn't be able to push the lie for this long. I don't think he's making big plans anymore, I think he simply wants the MC, and all of the perks that come with it. Even with a team of full town, he still wins if he's MC. Even if he kills everyone that is voted MC after him and keeps the role, he wins. You can say that would guarantee his lynch in lylo, but I'm sure he's well aware of the argument that if he's town, scum could also kill every other elected MC and make him the guaranteed lynch. So really, he wouldn't be the guaranteed lynch at all.. there's still doubt about that. Him keeping the MC the whole game wouldn't be a scum claim.. he's pretending it would be.
Putting all of that conspiracy shit aside, he's still scum for the lying, the intimidation, the appeasement.. the only vote of his that isn't based on what he thinks town wants is his initial vote on the me, the player who 'turned against him'. (quoting ABR there, he actually said I turned against him because I stopped agreeing with him. Titus was right about me being his lapdog, if even ABR saw me as such) You can see it in how he approached my wagon... instead of just voting me and trying to get people to join, he wanted to keep the Skybird wagon under his thumb in case I didn't work out, by making a list of people who would move all at once.
Speaking of, I don't need to talk to Skybird anymore. I think she's town.
This got way out of hand and I've barely answered your other questions. My read on DP is one that I'm not nearly as sure about. I scumread that slot for seemingly ignoring everything I was saying, looking like she was purposely misinterpreting my posts, and for giving preference to players she knew over players she didn't. I started to turn around on it after mollie started posting more often, and that made me think it was more of a playstyle issue with Titus. I can see that she has similar disagreements with other players, and her posts aren't bothering me nearly as much. She still has that 'teaching' quality with some of the players that I was told I misinterpreting, and I'm inclined to think that I actually was.
I think I explained above why letting him be MC isn't a good idea, even if he promises his partner. Because he can 1) still break that promise (roleblocks or other scum interference) or 2) bus a partner. Bussing his partner would be ideal for us, yes. But just letting that happen isn't something I want to do. WHy? Because he's scum! His role is obviously powerful, as scum or town, and I'm sure his winning MC will give him something we don't want him to have, from an extra kill to anything else.. I'm not going to elect scum to a position of power because he might bus his partner... great, we got one scum, you know we need the whole team right? Plus, this course of action (let's wait, he'll give us his partner) and going with an ABR(tm) approved lynch today guarantees a town mislynch, and basically takes a D2 mislynch as a given, since we're all counting on the confirmed scum reveal on D3. It's moving our focus.
I don't like it. It's scum and I don't wnat him to be MC and I don't want to just walk into whatever he wants us to do. "Even if he's scum he'll give us his partner, so it's fine" is honestly lazy and it's playing right into his hands. Sure, maybe he will... but the fact that he promise that tells us he wants to do it! How is doing what scum wants a good idea?? He's not going to play against his wincon because we let him do what he wants!
I don't know what he's going to do, I can only guess. I don't know how far this plan goes or how he'll justify it, maybe he's playing off the cuff, I still don't want to do what he wants.

I'll explain more in about 2 hours.
You were the main person pushing me in the last 4 pages, wtf.
This is actually kind of a towny post. The only reason it wouldn't be is if Gale and pip are scum together.. which doesn't look likely.

Yep.

It's only Day 1 and I've been sick. Thanks for outing the alt, btw.
I unvoted Rylai and Lina because they're looking less scummy. It looks like it's between Skybird and Itlepip so I'm trying to decide between them. That's why I asked the question in post
2467.
Skybird does not need Itle to die to fulfill her wincon. Itle hasn't replied.
I think ABR is a Scum-leaning obnoxious diva, I don't trust him for MC. I think Drixx is Town.
Did your scumread on me just evaporate or something? You were calling me scum entirely because I voted you at one point. (i know it was based on the circumstances of the vote, but it's true that it was the only reason)

Rylai, vote Skybird with us.
And what happens when I flip town? Will you admit to being scum? I'm telling you and everyone else, I am town.
Do you think ABR is scum? That's how I'm reading 'will you admit to being scum?'

I think this is a pretty good compromise regardless since both of the opposing wagons can agree on it. Or at least the two people who have butted heads the most.
Mollie, I'm here if you wanted to run through those reads. Please help before you leave
I agree.
VOTE: Klingon
I don't think itlepip and Skybird are both town based on their roles, but I think Skybird is town. Itlepip I'm not sure about, they're still posting while not doing anything worthwhile but that one post I quoted looked kind of towny. I'm less sure on that one, Klingon is better.
