Scummy as in, do most people think it's scummy? I don't know, I don't think people generally have any problem with it. If it's really over the top it'll get looked at as possible counterwagoning to whatever is going on atm but people treat it pretty much the same as it'd be from a non-replacement.

Scummy as in actually scummy? I think replacing gives scum a good opportunity to play apart from the rest of the game which gives them low responsibility for their actions. I do think scum are more likely to case someone new than joining a popular wagon coming in since it has some advantages and they are put in a position with full flexibility that allows them to do that. Still, it's not more than a rough indicator I think.

Your replace aggressiveness on the other hand I like for a few things though it'd probably be bad to go into it.
the only thing that was going on at that point was Skold was getting policy lynched
which is pretty bad start for a Day 1
so that's moot

Also I've replaced in once as scum at the beginning of the day and I started going in a very different direction imo
so def. rough indicator, though I agree it's valid b/c my scumbuddy in 1721 definitely did that

and I agree with gamma for once, I'd like this elaborated on
b/c i'm still a little "hrm" on you rn

No, I'm not going to accept it.

First of all, if you're misguided town, it's a scumread in the wrong place.
Second of all, if you're scum, I need to diffuse it before you get away with bullshit.
Third of all, I'm town, so me being a "lynch option" of sorts is not ok with me because when deadline comes along stupid stuff happens a lot.
Fourth of all, I have PROPERLY debunked ALL your reasons for scumreading me.
In other words, you have no reason to be scumreading me anymore.

If you're still going to scumread me, say it's a gut scumread.

Because if you still scumread me, that's all it is.
A gut read.
It started as gut. I just have other reasons. I guess the only one that still counts is you asking for sheeping. What makes you think town would do that?

And other people have flipped town...and asked for sheeping?
You need to expand your horizons a bit
kinda like i'm trying to get that you're just being n00bish and not scummy

also skold said that town won't sheep not that town won't ask for sheeping

I'm not going to explicitly explain why the way zyf replaced in is good while we have 2 pending replaces, of which at least one IS scum barring one of my townreads being wrong.

If you're confident that someone is scum but you're concerned town's going in the wrong direction, asking for sheeping is perfectly valid.

Not before you explain yourself first though.

it's basically a "hey pay attention to what I'm saying" directed at a town player
with a scum player, you obviously vote them or FoS them.

@Gamma asking for sheeping and hard pushing is actually a towntell because it's essentially taking on extra responsibility and attention, not to mention ideal scum scenario is actually being on a wagon that doesn't go through for obvious reasons.

your townreads have a pretty high chance of not being perfect right now
purely mathematically AND statistically

also what are your thoughts on Kyndy and their readslist? afaik the last time you explained your SR on them was because they were primarily fluffposting, but that was pre-list.

Okay, I see. Well, might as well revise my read list.
Town to scum
Infinity - probably town
Gally - decently town
LUV - decently town
Skold - slight town
Rask - slight town
Blackadder - null
Kyndy - null/slight scum
Zyf - slight scum

So cheeky... do you automatically assume I'm a bad town player because you played with my scumgame?
Obviously mathematically and statistically is WORSE than reads unless you assume the opposite (that someone is so bad at scumhunting they're more likely to vote scum by rolling dice). Which is probably something skold would say :roll:
Also even ignoring any townread accuracy the pure chance just one of the replaces is scum is significant enough for the principle to hold, though tbh I forgot combinatrics.

You keep doing this thing where it's like you disagree with a detail of something but don't contest the point I make and it's like WHY

I can say this because she's gone now! From meta I've seen kyndy is really lynchbaity and even surface-level reads or shallow game pov isn't necessarily AI for her. Which is why I wanted her to answer my questions... I think she's the type you have to pressure to see her actually give something indicative or reveal her fake thought processes (although you have to be careful what's actually relevant given how she pretty much always looks scummy on the surface) but so much for that. The slot's still nullscum for that entrance but I'll have to pretty much start over reading the replacement. It's still worth looking at for me though if only because of the townreads elsewhere.

The general theory is true but I don't think gamma is a good example of this... people also have to believe in the slot's proficiency :v

no i'm saying if you guys have the nerve to say I'm overconfident it's highly hypocritical to believe you've solved the game halfway through Day 1.

in other words i don't trust you and your PoE/confidence reads aren't very convincing

not really relevant to the point anyway, I still think there's a pretty low chance you've got the game solved
and that's assuming you're town
