I agree with 28; infinity did not respond well imo but did have valid questions, to which Gamma had stupid responses. 65 seems genuine, 66 seems odd to me and defensive, I don't understand 68, and like the question in 114.
I don't like this read. There is nothing I have done that couldn't be easily faked. That goes for pretty much all town reads that have been posted thus far.
Sorry for not posting but I'm still figuring out how to play D1 with this new thing called ''ignore the bullshit'' because I haven't been taught otherwise. I'm probably going to keep calling out the bullshit but then explaining how it still doesn't even come close to being a scumtell.
I'd put some philosophical bollocks here but I cannot be bothered.
Scumtells are bullshit, find something else to fill pages with please.
Liking gallynukes readlist for town. Somewhat familiar with kyndy and I like the impetus/effort she put in this early though I don't use the same kind of reasoning and don't reach the same conclusions.
Lil's answer was okay.

I don't know if your complaining legitimately or in a lamist way but you haven't done much but stifle what other people are doing.
What do you hope to accomplish like this?
It looks like you're interested in infinity but then why not engage him or go into that some more? Anything that does anything.

Either you've not read my posts or you've ignored their content. I'm not pushing anything today because I don't think scumreads and townreads are valid without any factual context (usually in the form of flips and claims). It's all speculation and nonsense and the mass buying into this is how mafia manipulate town into lining up lynches. I could perhaps use that as a tell but, sadly, town far too often try to line up lynches as well.

Him pushing this as he does is kind of more absurd than anything else given it also draws a lot of attention to himself, but this shouldn't be allowed for game health if nothing else.
Join my club and abandon reads altogether. They're mostly excuses to justify gut tells anyway.
Reads are independent from tells because they can be from instinct. Tells can't be instinct because they are from observation. Also, some scum reads do work. Saying you instead of we in LyLo when trying to push your case is one.

Like literally every other scumtell. I'd say you're scum for trying to line me up on nothing, but that would be irrational and break principle. And it's not that I can't make bullshit up it's that I refuse to. Feel free to play mafia from lalaland though.

I am playing mafia. I'm just not playing bullshit mafia LITE which involves pretending scumtells actually lead to scum lynches. Continue your lalaland experience though.

Okay, say you're town. 9p game 7 town 2 mafia.
Assume every town pushes randomly, but mafia don't push partner d1.
7:2 pushing if everyone influences the game VS
6:2 if one town sits back d1 and doesn't try to influence.
Which is more likely to land on scum? Pure/provable random lynching AFAIK is actually against site rules.
Even if everyones going in whatever dumb directions, the less town are influencing or leading the decision the less likely you lynch scum period.
But like even disregarding all that it's just terrible to encourage this in a newbie game of all things...
@Skold: Why even play then? If we all did what you're doing the game would be even more inactive than it is now and a smart mafia team could just kill off a player who has posted very little and leave us with nothing and stuck Day 2. It's impossible to avoid not going off scum tells Day 1. Yes they're shitty at times and can result in mislynches but it gives us information which is the most important thing. How is your approach to this game and potential future games healthy? I and I think anyone else can see how your new approach is beneficial for scum but town I see no positive due to how hard it is the play the game perfectly.
