I think Kappy was trying to say that he found the logic to not make sense and scumread IV for it, not trying to reduce the pressure on his vote.

I was not just repeating an explanation of what someone already explained. I was showing how the act of mentioning that scum will not hammer defeats its own purpose, therefore stopping Town from clearing hammerers ( which would be a big mistake). I do give a lot of information and I also scumhunt. There is nothing wrong with that. It's only when a person doesn't scumhunt that it becomes a tell, and a weak one at that.

I am not a scum aligned player, though you probably don't know it yet. This was very early on, just barely out of RVS, where adding pressure to a wagon for its own sake would generate some content that could then be analysed, leading us fully out of RVS.

I don't know, am I scum trying to look busy? What do you want me to say, yes? I don't understand why you would ask me something like that lel.

I am not only concerned with people that are active: note that I specifically asked everyone to give me thoughts on my analysis of Kap town, including you. I would still be interested in your thoughts. I requested him again just because it seemed like that was the most immediate way I could get feedback on this, since he was so active.

Speaking of which, BTD, I'm glad that it made some sense but I am mostly curious as to whether or not Kappy gets lots of townpoints for the reasons I stated, or if not, why.

Phone posting atm since I am going on vacation, but will get a more substantive post up soon hopefully.
See man this is why you are scum, we are 5 pages in and most of it is useless and you are asking for reads rather than trying to make some of your own. This is absolutely nothing but bull shit. You laugh at the question given to you and then proceed to try and well poison. Die please
vote on IV, I mean obvscum, wait no IV was right.
Unfortunately this vote isn't at all. I don't agree with the vote at all and I don't like how he is applying pressure to the only player who is actually playing the game.
In post 80, AlpacaAlpaca wrote:He also might just be trying to get the game moving since we are only at 4 pages.

To respond to your Kap post IV I see it as a complete null. I honestly think that it is more likely for a scum to quickhammer his buddy in RVS than it is for a townie to take the risk on hitting scum. If somebody quickhammered in RVS no matter what the other person flipped I would consider them scummy and at the very least anti-town, I just generally wouldn't' want them to stay super long in a game since they are either ridiculously impulsive, scum, or just make generally bad moves. That said I don't scum read him for it since I think that post could have come from either scum or town.
I like this post it feels as though he is trying to interact and get involved, this post feels very genuine.

They're like 95% scum, and lynching scum is good.
If for some ungodly reason I read them wrong and they're town, then they can still scumhunt as invincible town who cannot be nightkilled and therefore cannot be silenced.

Win-win as far as I can tell.
Ergo, we're lynching Music and Mail no matter what.
Especially given the game state an explanation on any of this would have been appreciated. The reads themselves make a lot of sense and this is roughly what I think about the game except put Music and Mail higher and BTD6 lower.
I honestly don't know what I am supposed to do with these posts honestly I have incredibly mixed feelings about it :/

You can't force the firefighter to be on you. The firefighter will be on whoever they (not you) think has the greatest chance of being primed.

Autolynching has led Town to so many losses. If you're Town, you could be wrong about Ranger. If Ranger is also Town, she was wrong about you but that does not imply that she is scum.
Oh look more information over scum hunting :D

I refuse to lose my vote if it's not understood that firefighter is on me and if I don't have everyone's words that Ranger is instadead tomorrow.
This is an interesting self observation not sure how I am supposed to feel about it.

Yeah, no. Every time I've been wrong on my read of you, extenuating circumstances were the cause. Your play here, from
both

Especially given:

This runs contrary to all your knowledge of me. This is your scum faking-town-paranoia act to a T.
Explain your reads on Alpaca, Alexcellent, BTD, KAAG, and innocentvillager to me please.
innocentvillager and KickAssAndGiggle are ambivalent. I believe that's the appropriate word for "one moment looks like a dirty scumbag, the next looks as pure as can be". They waver, significantly, between the two, each post. Reading the same post twice will give two different impressions. Reading it ten times would give at least five or six different impressions. I can't pin them down, at all.

BTD6 started in that category, and frankly, is only barely above them. What bumped him up is that, frankly, I got a mild gut townread from and . That's literally it though. Everything else is that same, waving, back-and-forth, can't-pin-down I have for IV and KAAG.

Alpaca instantly became a townread for . Of all the RVS posting, that was actually the only one I could get a definitive read on. Everyone else's was null, but Alpaca's entrance stood out as strongly town. Nothing in diminished this. I did like a little as well.

As for Alexcellent, I
almost
got a read on him for , but it lacked the 'BUSSED SO HARD' tagline that would have made it definitely town. was a solid town post, as I liked the pressure on Kappy. did not diminish my read, either.

...So basically, this is a rare game where my top tier is barely above null. My top tier is weak town, followed by just-barely-above-null, to null, to just-barely-below-null, to scum.
Ok so these aren't strong town reads that's good and explains a lot. I like this post actually it shows a lot of weakness in her play this game which feels town.

Ok I am less disappointing about obv town being lynched because that quote was pretty scummy honestly. It is fence sitting while declaring both sides as town. But he has just so much other stuff that is obviously town. >_>

Shotty is at L-1!!!!!!!!!!

That obvious enough?
The change of vote when shotty got to L-1 suggests maybe that Kappy wasn't comfortable with being on the wagon, but the above post makes it seem like he's putting him back at L-1 with villager and BTD6's permission.

Alpaca instantly became a townread for . Of all the RVS posting, that was actually the only one I could get a definitive read on. Everyone else's was null, but Alpaca's entrance stood out as strongly town. Nothing in diminished this. I did like a little as well.

As for Alexcellent, I
almost
got a read on him for , but it lacked the 'BUSSED SO HARD' tagline that would have made it definitely town. was a solid town post, as I liked the pressure on Kappy. did not diminish my read, either.

...So basically, this is a rare game where my top tier is barely above null. My top tier is weak town, followed by just-barely-above-null, to null, to just-barely-below-null, to scum.

I'm choosing not to. It's a non-issue. Unless you're at risk of being lynched, it's simply not something I need to spend my time on.

Oh really?
Explain your reads on innocentvillager to me please.
I've only played with town-you twice, but both times I could actually understand where your reads were coming from. This, on the other hand... I just... I have several issues with this readslist.

Ever.

Welcome to a Ranger game.

This is something that, frankly, I thought I wouldn't have to explain anymore aside from the occasional newbie-in-an-open. But to be as explicit as possible: I am
Ranger
. I come from a site which specializes in reading the RVS. It's what we do. I maintain this habit on here. So, yes. Your little content? Is plenty for me.
I don't understand your scum read on Music and Mail. Can you go a bit more into detail as to why they are scum?
Sure! Separate post though; it'll have to wait until after I've caught up.

I think you missed the purpose of the question, I think people just want more explanation on all your reads >.>
In post 134, Ranger wrote:^The scumread started here. The offered intent, regardless of whether serious or a joke, is not something I see a town player doing. Honestly, given the players in there, it wouldn't at all surprise me to have them lolhammer on page one as town, even. The 'why' behind it is harder to describe without an understanding of them. Basically, while it would be an anti-town action, counter-intuitively, in an RC mindset, it would actually increase their odds of being useful: if they lolhammered scum, they would be confirmed town. If they hammered town, then they would be an incredibly unlikely douse target for N1, effectively ensuring by proxy that they'd live to see D3 at least. What of the D2 risk in being mislynched?

This is a hydra of RadiantCowbells with Postie. Town-them holds absolutely no fear of being lynched whatsoever, because in their world, there isn't any possible way they could get lynched. Given all these factors? Absolutely, yes, I would expect them as town to hammer. Why would they not hammer as scum when much of this applies to their scum game too? Because as scum, their main goal isn't to lynch town, so much as it is to manipulate town into lynching town. A hammer on town would be lynching town, sure. But it would not be playing the long-game.

RadiantCowbells, as scum, is always, ALWAYS setting up for the long-game. A lolhammer is a shortsighted move, something he'd do as town but not as scum because town-RC is shortsighted (mostly) whereas scum-RC is a planner. So, instead of hammering, they contribute to the discussion and look town by giving intent, without actually killing shotty. (Note that this does rely a lot on shotty being town. If shotty were scum and RC were a scumbuddy, absolutely RC would lolhammer on page one, because he'd get town credit for it and it'd cut discussion short.)
So they are scum for not hammering here? Certainly an interesting statement.
In post 134, Ranger wrote:This is actually a signature of my scum game, but it applies to theirs just as much: an effort to try and appear town, without actually doing anything town. This is empty.

In 72, I hated the waffle on shotty, and also the way they greeted me did not feel like a town greeting. This was the content as of my "guess who?" post, though at the time I posted that, I hadn't yet received my role PM, so I didn't know if I was replacing in as scum or not. (Obviously, if I had landed into a scum slot, I wouldn't have been able to push them because they'd, you know, be my scumbuddy.)

Since then, we've got more. Aside from what I just pointed out?
This block of text I actually agree with.
In post 134, Ranger wrote:If Music and Mail were town, they would be raising absolute hell about my scumread on there. We're talking, going virtually Frozen Angel levels of ballistic.
Well, actually, small correction. If they were town and townread me, they would be ranting at me.
If they were town and scumreading me, they would be ranting at the town about me.

This was it though.
This, literally this, was basically the whole of their Ranger push.
It's fake. It's insincere.
You get 97, but it's not filled with passion. It has no energy. It's flat, dull even.
103 is also more of the same. It's just further elaborating, but at the same time, not. It's not making a big display of it. Me scumreading RC is a very big deal.
To me, RC is just another player. I don't treat him any differently than I would anyone else. But this is not mutual. RC holds me in a whole different league, so he should be angry. He should be emotional. He should be saying how sad he is that I've gone downhill like this, he should be trying to work with me, or if he seriously thinks I replaced in as scum and for some UNGODLY reason went all-out on him (which...runs contrary to literally every piece of my scum meta, ever), he would not rest until I was dead.

Yet he's complacent here.
He's docile.
And that is not a town-Radiant.

And as a last point? (All the posts I've skipped are already featured in my iso; read them.)
This entire game feels incredibly apathetic though.
In post 134, Ranger wrote:This is RC setting up the long game. He knows that if I get lynched now, I'm flipping town. I become a tree stump, and I hard push. Others may listen. That's a danger for him. So what does he need to do? He needs to earn town credit. He needs to do something that will make people think he's town. If it makes me think he's town, mission accomplished. But it works even if I still scumread him (I do), so long as others buy into what he's trying to sell here, that he's waiting.

But a town-RC? If he legitimately thought I was scum, he would never let go. He wouldn't unvote, not even for a moment. He might ask for someone else to unvote, sure, yeah, but his vote would remain, because he wouldn't be willing to unvote me.

That's why I'm 95% sure Music and Mail is scum.
This is a really interesting argument honestly.
Ranger feels pretty town here even if here reads are really weird .-.

Hmm...
Town reading someone for RVS with no reason why. Claiming there's a reason while trying not to explain in. "it's simply not something I need to spend my time on" It wouldn't take much effort to explain it. You already spent time thinking about it, now you just have to write in down. I definitely am leaning towards Ranger+Alpaca as our scum team.
This is such shallow analysis.

Ranger is my best scumread now. Still only weak-moderate but worth voting on.

VOTE: Ranger

This is now L-1


It puts enough pressure on Ranger now (some others still scumread her such as Alexcellent) so that she can't afford to give bad reasoning now or simply refuse to explain a read. Explaining anything benefits Town. We are in the dark. Scum already know who scum are.
Music and Mail are reading just as confident to me. Also you are doing that thing again where you say your pressure vote is a pressure vote and explain what you want from the player. You can't honestly think that is a good idea >.>

Ranger vs. Music and Mail feels like really shitty TvT

@Ranger why aren't you doing more to get me lynched?
I don't know you well enough for you to care that much... why are you buddying me? I'm pushing for your lynch.

Top of page 9 catching up is hard and this game is boring I may stop doing this.
Yeah that was all boring honestly.
