MOD – I’ll be V/LA starting today at 5pm EDT until June 11th. I’ll be out of the country with limited access … how often I can check will be determined when I get there.
Frankly the whole conversation about kills and not taking shots is stupid. Town has two ways to possible prevent deaths in this set-up. Strong players who are Town-read are more likely to draw protection which scum can’t overcome. So scum are more likely to kill players they don’t think are protected who read them in a negative dayplay fashion while PR hunting. This whole “Face discussion” is at best distracting.
I started off the day being as abrasive as possible in an effort to make who I might be scum-reading as cloudy as possible. But today has run so long that its’ been hard to keep up the posturing.
Ranger will flip. Once that happens I’ll make my assessment as to whether I want to protect a Town read of try to block a scum read. I’m unsure was to which way I will go at this stage.
But if as expected Ranger flips scum and for some stupid reason die at Night I want Kill’s body hanging from the rafters tomorrow. Ignoring this will cause my ghost to forever haunt you …
How can we help you? I’m 100% serious. Frankly this day should have ended a week ago instead of being drug out. To my mind Imperium and I haven’t really resolved the differences between our Rach and Ollie reads. No-one is really making an progress at Town-reading other players.
Ranger is going to get rope. We will see how the flip and Night affects players and their parsing of the game.

If it's the second reason, I think that people are more gullible than you think - I tend to claim town in twilight as scum mainly because people's scramble to reassess reads with me!town are usually entertaining to see, especially if they've been pushing me pretty hard previously. If it's the first part, then I don't think his Snarky read was that strong; his read showed signs of breaking earlier and there were a good number of posts like this:
Setting aside that “he did it pre-flip” element – the fact that his immediate conclusion makes absolutely no sense from a Town perspective given his stated reads prior to the lynch. Ocean was supposedly scum-reading Ranger who was a heavy participant in the push on Snarky. Snarky eventually gets lynched. Town who are honestly stating their positions in the game reacting to that claimed flip should be looking to assess who pushed the mislynch wagon and why. But he doesn’t do that at all. He immediately decides that the most likely scum player based on the flip is one of the few people who fought against it and pushed for an alternate wagon. On Ranger. Who Ocean supposedly had a scum read on.
That move has not trajectory that makes any sense.
In post 2215, Imperium wrote:that made it seem like he was feeling pretty lost in the game in general, so his willingness to believe that he mislynched again doesn't actually seem all that outlandish to me.
Meh. I see this as more AtE bullshit looking for an excuse to move away from previously stated reads (“I don’t trust anyone at this point”) and be able to craft scum reads that are favorable to more mislynches.
In post 2220, Imperium wrote:His piece on Snarky is garbage; I don't like that the "I was okay with Snarky because he was townreading me! Oops!" bit came up again, and the case Ollie posts on him is no more complicated than "I think Snarky could have posted more content".
Every single person in this game’s case on Snarky was garbage. Using that to indict Ollie while not indicting everyone else reads as some Confirm-bias becauseOllie is not Town reading you if you want my frank opinion.
"I am a leaf on the wind ... watch how I soar!"
Pretty much Geriatric game restricted at this point ... unless there are players I REALLY want to play with.
