They didn't really say anything other then someone was for certain scum, in a eerily similar way that another player on this forum does.
This is also fine. Suggesting that Robster is an alt? (I hadn't thought about that.)
This is a lot earlier than Ness's unvote and I'm not sure we were out of RVS at this time. However I don't think unvoting in RVS is alignment indicative. (If anything the best RVS-vote-related scumtell is leaving your RVS vote on while developing serious reads.)
In post 59, Fraggernaut wrote:I'm not sure what to think about Robster this game, nor on their death tunnel on Jam.
They're playing with reckless abandonment, way different then the game that just finished that I modded; where GR was Jail Keeper.
I agree with this assessment, but I wonder if it is rolefishing-- I would take this to mean if anything that Fragger thinks Robster doesn't have a PR. It does show evidence of trying to sort players though.
This is fine.

None of Jam's posts thus far have been telling to me. Only real thing of substance was their #48.
This is reasonable, and pretty accurate.
In post 69, Fraggernaut wrote:@Egg That game is
Here
@SirCakez I don't know where it came from. Allow me though to flip the question though. Whats right about it so far? What information have you received from the pressure of the wagon?
I feel like this is a misunderstanding, intentional or not-- wagons in RVS are good even without any footing, though he has a point that wagoning a total newbie is probably not going to produce useful results.
In post 74, Fraggernaut wrote:Someone explain the red flags about Jam for me.
I guess I'm not still grasping how that could be a scum tell from them.
While true, this feels a little like scum stagnation repeating "sell me on X" over and over again for lack of something better to do. But I think that's a stretch given that he drops the subject of jam immediately after.
This felt odd at the time, but actually as a reaction test I rather like it and like the reactions he got from it.
In post 102, Fraggernaut wrote:I like Ness for realizing what my post towards killthestory was, which was just a little reaction prod. A bad one albeit some may think, but it's day one & typically my day one play is pretty eh. Im just trying to get a feel for people in the game.
My post wasn't hardly a joke, but the reaction from Story & SirCakez was pretty interesting in that they felt a strong urge or need to respond to it. Hook, line & sinker which could of easily be opportunistic scum trying to jump on something as minor as a reaction test.

I am interested to know your opinion on the 'red flags' explanation.
Hey Slandaar. It's been explained by Boonskie (#75) & Egg (#99), & I think I get what they're trying to explain. I think I would compare it to say video mafia which I have more experience in, where a scum is more likely to say "what do you want from me" or something along them lines to appeal to town or to try to seem town after a possible slip or something weird that they've said.
Yeah but this is weird. He made a good reaction test but (in my opinion) totally misinterpreted all the reactions. I could see this being buddying if Ness is town, though I really can't see a Fragger/Ness team.

frag if you admit that the reaction shit was shit then clearly the reactions you get will be shit
Not at all. I say albeit some may think it was a bad reaction test. I never said I thought it was bad.
I believe your reaction was a genuine reaction to it, and the reaction was pretty eh.
Kind of defensive and wishy-washy. Already discussed.
+1 though I think it's mostly stopped by now.
In post 124, Fraggernaut wrote: In post 119, Something_Smart wrote:I don't like Egg's questions to jam in
66, number 3 in particular is basically, "do you like your role?" which feels like rolefishing disguised as RQS.
I also don't like pisskop's rolefishing in
83 but it reads like a joke, although it was not interpreted that way.
79 felt weak at the time, but it makes sense as a reaction test. I don't think it was obvious however and Ness's reaction in
85 is really bad and opportunistic. And
105 is just bad.
On the other hand Killthestory's reaction felt genuine and read as towny outrage to me. Fragger said in
102 that his reaction was "interesting" and "could be opportunistic scum" but then in
106 says it was "genuine" but then was also "pretty eh". What do you actually mean?
UNVOTE:
Scumleans are iraonavp and Ness, and maybe Fragger depending on his response.
As stated in a earlier post of mine, my day one logic is pretty fluctuating. The response was interesting, cause the reaction seemed geuine but also way over the top & over exaggerated; if that makes any sense to anyone else. I think in general right now I'm pretty in between & null on Story.
Yeah this doesn't make sense because how can a response be genuine and exaggerated.
Fair enough.

@KAAG: there are some good reasons to push Ness, but why push him for unvoting?
Day one is day one. Sorry Something_Smart. I just don't have perfect information like scum would have.
As I said, I'm trying to get a feel for players in the game, & start the sorting process.
This is understandable I guess, but that being said we're getting to that point in the game where you should start having real reads so he should not be stalling any longer.

Note: I will not interact with Boonskies unless absolutely necessary. I want to see some improvement from this guy (if he's town this game). Long story.
Hello again Performer. I would like to see a explanation, even if its a small one; of why you've pigeon holed Boonskies in your first post.
This is reasonable trying to sort Performer.
In post 147, Fraggernaut wrote:I gotta say Ira's ISO is pretty funny. 4 posts, two blanket votes & a bland statement.
This is where I actually start to see some town motivation in his posts. The whole push on ira feels towny and not opportunistic. Fragger as scum could jump on another wagon (like Ness's) but he goes after a scummy player who's been mostly ignored.
In post 156, Fraggernaut wrote:Ira, not sure what your play is just yet; but so far it's been pretty awful & borderline scummy.
I typically don't change my vote & move them around often unless I see something that pings out weird to me.
The post you said that you had 7 posts was untrue, that was actually your 6th post in total according to your ISO. Before that

I don't think Boonskiies has done anything alignment indicative so far, and the jam wagon has FIVE TIMES the number of voters.
In post 153, iraonavp wrote:Hey, Mafiaturtle. How are you going to Pressure jam if you aren't voting him?
Most of your ISO consists of a half-hearted attempt to make it look like you're scum hunting on Jam. You are pushing hard for this wagon until you change your vote with a naked vote on myself. After which I think it's weird that you call out Mafiaturtle about pressuring Jam if they're not voting them, when you were one of the main proprietors of the Jam wagon originally and lay a naked vote on me.
VOTE: iraonavp
This is pretty good and shows a kind of OMGUS that I've found comes from town more often than not. It's to the effect of, from my POV there is one confirmed town and that's me, and in voting me you are voting somebody I know is town, so I can use the information that you voted town to help sort you.
This is reasonable, could have used more explanation I suppose.
In post 188, Fraggernaut wrote:Im wondering if we're just going to continue to let Robster shit post the entire game & get a free pass for it.
"Cause he can read minds" isn't very concrete evidence with how much you've thrown votes around.
This isn't particularly good and is weird considering I thought Fragger agreed with my townread on Robster.
In post 198, Fraggernaut wrote:Irao sorry my vote stays on you, hence I think you're the most scummy person so far in this game.
Your posts contradict what you're saying compared to what you're actually doing. A pretty notable scum trait.
This is fine attempting to sort ira, and I wouldn't call that "a pretty notable scum trait" but it is something town make an effort to avoid.
In post 200, Fraggernaut wrote:Right now I would have to say Irao & Golden Robster are in my preliminary scum pool.
I'll ISO Ness & see what I can derive from the interactions with them & others. Originally I didn't want to address it cause I wanted to see if the interactions between Ness & KAAG were organic. It could very well be a instance of TvT.
Ness vs. KAAG doesn't feel TvT to me. However KAAG's push feels genuine regardless of Ness's alignment so I won't say anything definitive yet.

See above as well as you keep mentioning them here.
Which to me shows that you're still fully interested & involved with the wagon, while most of everyone else that was on it either went AFK after their vote, or have tried to scum hunt elsewhere & progress the game further.
Quote posts in which I "call out Mafiaturtle".
In post 153, iraonavp wrote:Hey, Mafiaturtle. How are you going to Pressure jam if you aren't voting him?
You called Mafiaturtle out for not putting their vote on Jam if they were going to pressure, even though your vote at the time was freshly on me when you naked voted me. It seems like either A. You're trying to get town to do the dirty work for you in getting a mislynch or B. There's this odd & weird world that I'll have to wait to see interactions between you & Turtle, that you're scum buddies together.
Also Irao, if you weren't interested in the Jam wagon. Then why did you go out of your way to mention it so many times?
Good points, though I think ira has made this case really easy.
In post 205, Fraggernaut wrote: In post 202, iraonavp wrote: In post 200, Fraggernaut wrote:Right now I would have to say Irao & Golden Robster are in my preliminary scum pool.
Why Golden Robster? I have felt a certain sincerity in his posts.
Hasn't provided anything to town other then shit posts & naked votes. Gives me a slight scum lean on him currently.
Not sure I'm following the progression of this read. Could be opportunistic, although I think Robster's pretty widely townread.
In post 206, Fraggernaut wrote:Also combine that with the fact that I know Golden Robster (from my recently finished game I modded. that they were involved in) is more then capable of providing information to help town & being a town leader.
See previous comment.
Fair enough.
In post 225, Fraggernaut wrote:@Slandaar Sure I could agree to a extent I guess that scum would be more likely to appeal to town to appear town.
@ Golden Robster What's the difference between grasping at straws for a scum pool over you grasping at straws for town reads?
@ Egg I've only seen his town game in a previous game I modded, where Golden Robster was Jail Keeper. In that game he didn't shit post much at all, & towards the end was a key factor in getting town the victory over a scum-sided team which also included pisskop. This game has been so much different then the game I modded where Robster provided town good information as well as good logic. This game, he's provided none of that nor has tried to lead town which makes me wonder heavily about them.
It gives me a bad feeling that he keeps mentioning that Robster was jailkeeper rather than just town, it's like he's secretly trying to determine if Robster has a PR here.
In post 238, Fraggernaut wrote:@Egg
True. Typically I don't like using META to try to discern alignment. META is too easily manipulated. I was only stating that this isn't what I've seen Golden Robster do as town, so it seems pretty weird to me.
I think if you don't like using meta then you don't really have an argument here. Robster's fluffing is not really scum fluff.

Are we seriously questioning the legitimacy of a V/LA?
It's just odd that they've gone V/LA when their wagon was picking up, & then are online hours later when they cited a school project as the reason for needing a V/LA for 48 hours. I think in this instance you kind of have to take a look at it. I've seen scum before in games I read use V/LA to avoid pressure or to avoid being a late day lynch.
Pedit: Now the replacement doesn't make things any better.
Uggggghhh.
The vote itself is okay, but it appears to be because he thought the V/LA was fake? That would be a really underhanded tactic...
This is not really helping the town.
