are who we have left, and three of those sumbitches are scum. judging by how things have been going I'm willing to bet EVERYONE is hard townreading at least one scum right now. at least. again judging how things have been going I have a feeling that we're totally off course. In my profession if you just keep plugging away at the same thing that's failing, you're gonna be unemployed. I don't want to live my life that way. sometimes you just have to go perpendicular to get where you want to go.

[Untrod Tripod]

and I don't know what I want to do next, but it sure as hell isn't the thing that feels the most natural to me

my reads have been ballsacks for a while now. I need to do the opposite.

[Firebringer]

ut, am i wrong about you being town?

[Untrod Tripod]

yeah dude, I'm scum

[Untrod Tripod]

anyway I was mostly addressing me and my reads

but I'm encouraging everyone else to dig deep and reexamine

[Firebringer]

yeah dude, I'm scum

can i townread you anyways?

[Untrod Tripod]

You do you my man

[Wraith]

This is essentially a prodge.

If it isn't already clear, I'm basically going to wait today and see how the rest of the town votes, then join whatever wagon I think is best.

Yeah I agree with this. One thing I think we all need to do is develop our own reads on everyone. I've seen a number of people state they are trusting so-n-so's read of a certain player. I'm guilty of it myself. I need to look at everyone with fresh eyes and make sure I'm not overlooking something.

I think this goes along with what EP was saying in 5320 too.

MoI thoughts on FA/Firebringer

You can see my last review of FA in the Radio Network thread at 343 as a reminder Spiffeh.

As I said there – his interactions with scum and general posting at that point make me go back and forth. I frankly have a tough time reading Firebringer. I mean what made me certain in Kids TV was his terrible fake-claim and reaction to being called out on it. I’m not thrilled with his side of your recent exchange.

He’s in my Burn it All pool. Am I confident he’s scum? If I was dead set confident I’d have been pushing him. So no. At this stage I’m more confident about who isn’t likely scum and working of a PoE pool.

Why the unvote on Andrius?

--

Leaves Skybird, Errant, UT and MariaR for me.

Here’s another example of why I have issues with 1Shot – the only person on this list I’d consider lynching is UT and I’d not be thrilled about it.

Here’s my Town list. Gun to your head who do you lynch from there?

(Maria, Wraith, Tammy , Spiffeh, Errant, Skybird).

Man. That particular post...

Doubt besets me

[MariaR]

Prod dodge this is slightly stalling and it feels like were at a point where it's like "pick a lynch and pray"

[Untrod Tripod]

Man. That particular post...

Doubt besets me

which one?

[SpyreX]

I can't even quantify it but my gut still says spiff is the secret scum.

What will it take for committal this game

[Spiffeh]

wrong

[Spiffeh]

I want the next three lynches to be UT, Firebringer, Andrius

If the game isn't over by then, then it's SpyreX

[Spiffeh]

EP's recent posts look town

[Spiffeh]

ut, am i wrong about you being town?

You guys share a scum PT so why is this even a question?

[Spiffeh]

Someone show up and help me avoid the homework I have to do

[Spiffeh]

Is this you having to choose the weakest town read or are you actually scum reading me?

[Spiffeh]

Prod dodge this is slightly stalling and it feels like were at a point where it's like "pick a lynch and pray"

Now that we know Fire Assassin just switched to his main account, where do you stand with that slot?

[Spiffeh]

Firebringer is my preferred lynch I think

It's appalling that people are overlooking the scumfuckery that is his sudden suspicion of me and atrocious justifications

[Spiffeh]

The difference between this game and Kids Mafia for spiffeh seems distinct in the way he reacts to people pushing him.
I really really think he is scum at this point.

Spiffeh was on both lynch wagons on scum too.
Points to him being scum since ScumSpiffeh likes to buss.

These two posts in particular show that he came into the day with the intention to scum read me about something and that no true evaluation of my alignment is taking place.

He ignores the rest of my play and pinpoints two areas that boil down to "he did this as town in one game and isn't do it here" and "he did this as scum one game and he might have done it here too". Both of these are surface level (and untrue?) observations about a couple games that are pretty much disproven if you take a few minutes to PROPERLY meta me.

If you think it's possible I have been bussing then why don't you look at my pushes on the flipped scum and find or provide something that would indicate that?

Instead you go
"two flipped scum"
"spiffeh pushed both of them"
"must be scum that bussed"
Or maybe I did that thing I do in other town games of mine where I successfully find scum and push them so they get lynched?

This is not a natural conclusion for town to draw, especially with the level of confidence he seemed to have about it.

VOTE: Firebringer

I want the next three lynches to be UT, Firebringer, Andrius

If the game isn't over by then, then it's SpyreX

There are people voting for Andrius, yet you are voting FA? what is that about?
