What? I gave you my answer. Did you not want the read explained? You didn't say I was limited to only the read with no reasoning. -.-- Transcend

1) This has been proven false to me through every previous game of mine where I have tried. In fact, I got WORSE at getting my point across every game I tried to do it in.In post 1012, mhsmith0 wrote:Explaining yourself matters in a few ways:
1) You'll improve as you get experience actually laying things out
2) You'll have a chance to convince people you're right, and (if you're town) just as importantly give people a chance to engage with your read in case it's wrong, and convince you that it's wrong
3) Through being open about your process, you can enable the rest of the board to read you better
2) town should do their own research and see if they agree or not. I gave the links to ISOs for comparison. And people engaging with me on my reads reasonings and forcing me to try to case is often why I'll 180 off scum. Not that it matters anyway because I literally can't get scum lynched no matter what I do. Even if people decide to sheep me it's just because I'm on fucking town so no. I'm not wasting my time trying to force explain something when that doesn't come easily to me.
3) I don't care. If people are bad enough to not realize I am town by now then I don't fucking care to try to obvtown for their benefit. Because they'll keep on their stupid confbias anyway.
No, I can't. I said that I can't and I mean it. I am literally getting worse at this game with every game I play. There's a reason I decided to coast this game after I got my town read on transcend. If I could explain it in as simple words as you just provided don't you think I would have done it by now?In post 1014, mhsmith0 wrote:Like, wrt CCC you should be able to point out the glaring difference. Are they high energy one game, low the other? Snarky vs serious? High emotion vs kind of dull? etc
Even that much will at least help to clarify where you're coming from. It's much harder when you simply say there's a glaring difference, because it's not helpful to other people to say there's something there, when you could just explicitly point it out instead.
It's helpful to other people because they can look and draw their own opinions based on the links I gave to support my assertions. If they can't see what I can see then they're never going to no matter what I say.
If I can't be clear about a read because I can't words then I don't need to have it rubbed in my goddamn face. I have given my evidence and tried to explain it in literally the only way I can.In post 1015, mhsmith0 wrote:I'd further point out that in your push on CCC, by not being clear about what you're seeing, if he's mafia (which I really don't buy), he's able to discredit your read since you seemingly can't back it up. And if he's town, he's going to think you're full of shit and casting shade that you can't back up, and (somewhat predictably) think you're a wolf for it.
He's just not town. I can't explain it but he's not town. That's not a town push on me. Io is a town push on me.- Io

CCC: Why are you being so neutral today? You've only taken a stance on Jae today and even then it was pretty weak and I didn't like the way you voted him.
CloudKicker: Y r u a big stinky? When you're back can you give 2 scumreads and 2 townreads?
: You acknowledge that rb's posts are scummy, however you think he's scummy town. What about his posts strike you as "scummy town"
Hermie
Impoetic: Were there reasons that you voted Uzi besides him being the leading bandwagon? Who do you think is scum on the Uzi wagon if there is any?
Io: Am I a hard scumread for you or just you're paranoid about me? Because I really can't have you fosing me here.
JaeReed: What's your read on Impoetic at this current moment? Keep in mind: the only answers acceptable for this question are "Town" or "Scum".
mhsmith0: Do you agree with me that Jae/CCC are probably not a team? Are there any reads you have that I don't, and that I should take into consideration?
rb: You haven't proven to me that you've genuinely been progressing through the game. Give me some reads right now. I asked you before and I'm gonna ask you again.
VWXYZ: Still fos me? What about my vote was scummier than the rest? Also, I'm off of work for two days so I'm down to play you in the Jotto Tourney whenever.
Every game I've played with rb he has been excessively scummy town and his play feels much the same to me rn.- Transcend

To be fair, I've had enough Town people thinking I'm Mafia when I'm actually Town in previous games that I don't think I can really consider "thinking I'm Mafia when I'm Town" to be particularly alignment indicative.In post 1015, mhsmith0 wrote:I'd further point out that in your push on CCC, by not being clear about what you're seeing, if he's mafia (which I really don't buy), he's able to discredit your read since you seemingly can't back it up.

But Jae voting for his third-top scumread yesterday is significant evidence against him already, in my view.- CCC

I have one scumread, and it's a pretty firm scumread, so I'm trying to push it.In post 1022, Transcend wrote:CCC: Why are you being so neutral today? You've only taken a stance on Jae today and even then it was pretty weak and I didn't like the way you voted him.
Ihadyou as my second-top scumread at the start of the day (for your push on Uzi day one) but you've been looking a lot less scummy today - I don't know if it's because you're actually Town, or because you're a good actor.
I have a few Townreads as well, I'm not going to be voting for them unless I'm convinced my read is wrong
...and those are the reads I've got. I'm only pushing one person, because I only have one decent scumread. The way I see it, if we take him down today, then we can track down the rest of scum afterwards.- CCC

The reasoning's good. I want to see more reasoning from him. Specifically about all the reads where he just says 'tone' and seems to think that that explains it.In post 1026, Transcend wrote:I just wanted your stance and nothing else lol- CCC

You are not on mafia right now. So no, you're not going to find any mafia after you fail to lynch me.
You just picked out one part and ignored the part where I literally said I can't get my words to do what I want to explain it. I cannot explain it. There's a basis there that I can't explain, and I was actually relying on someone else looking at the evidence and putting it into words because I can't. Not everyone can manage to spin words their way all the fucking time.- Transcend

There is a difference between not attempting to explain, and explaining badly. Inherently if you at least gave a poor explanation it would help whereas no explanation doesn't help and is incredibly scummy.In post 1044, JaeReed wrote:

Anyone can say 'X is scummy' and when asked why just say 'they feel like scum.' Now, that's not inherently bad it just means you're not contributing reads at all. But when you say "I was actually relying on someone else looking at the evidence and putting it into words" that is where the problem with this comes in. If you use this to give a defense for not explaining reads you must also provide the evidence you were using. Not giving explination and not giving evidence is what is extremely scummy. At least if you give evidence then you can say this and it be OK as you provide the evidence and let people draw conclusions, but you're wanting people to find evidence to back up your FoS and then also provide the actual accusation pretty much removing as much of the blame of a mislynch as you possibly can.
This is why I always say this is a scum tell because of how lazy it is and how easy it is for scum to replicate and not take the blame for a mislynch they are pushing to start.Morituri te salutant. Et semper mortem memini.- Hermie
