because last time when i did random vote the guy that i was voting for became convinced that i was scum. He was two lynches or one lynch away from being lynched, didn't know, and basically for the rest of the short lived game he was convinced that i was scum, which i wasn't (Does this count as a spoiler/giving away too much info?)
Okay, second game, still don't know what to do, as evidenced by the last game.

Finished means lynched, NK'ed

Yeah?
Alright, so what i've learned is that to analyze scum you need to watch for contradictions in their statements right?

RVS are the first things to build reads on. For example, my only read atp not null is human sequencer lean scum.
Was that guy town? Seems like awful town gameplay if he tunneled you the whole game
idk yet, he hasn't died...
But, people were pretty sure that we were both town before i died so...
First time, i was l-1, someone else managed to convince people that i was townie, because i couldn't defend my self (still cant)

That is, any game that is currently going on, whether you're alive in them, dead in them, or even never played in them.
You can post about them as soon as they end in a victory, loss or draw.
What you just posted is violating the rules. I hope the mod will treat you kindly for it, because it was clearly just a misunderstanding.
But other people can go through and look through it right

-- Do you have any other logins on this forum? Is so, you should know that alt accounts are not allowed to join Newbie games as newbies (only as replacements).
If it isn't obvious, I think you might be an experienced player who is acting like a super-newbie.
must.
refrain.

aaaaa
not an alt.
lets sum up what i know so that i don't get lynched later. (Still going to because of the reasons stated below)
I know vocabulary (woooooo but it was a sticking point for people)
Don't know how to read, can't defend, can't attack/accuse

or, instead of looking for decisive contradictions, you just regularly update us on things you've found interesting about different and whether it can be interpreted as a scum vs town move

just slightly panicked but how do i read people as scum or town? help on both please? i've tried to ask people about this but they just brush me off. I can't go out of newbie queue without knowing how to read and im already on my second game and i still dont know how to defend or read people. I would like to learn more about reading but defending myself would also be good. Can someone (IC, SE's) help me? I know IC has already tried but i still don't quite get it.

He's almost too calm, collected, for a townie being 2 lynches away from death, although it could be because he wasn't on l-1.
He didn't give explanations for scum reads/voting for me and claims it's "gut" (is this a reasonable reason for attacking someone?)
Like, if i was 2 lynches away from being killed I'd be freaking out if i was a townie.
VOTE: Joshz
Okay, i tried, I hope i did something useful, although it could all be wrong(probably but its my first read so i'm sticking with it).

I think if you were scum it would of been an ideal opportunity to put a vote on me I am getting close to being lynched and have a vote on you with the way you have played this I was expecting you to vote me when you became active again. I have to ask though what is your read on me I think I am L-2 (I may be counting the votes wrong) would you expect me to be panicking more?
I don't think you would be panicking because you got 1 vote, but Rai got the other 2-3 votes, which wasn't your fault.
I'm not gonna vote for you (yet) because i don't think you deserve the extra pressure that Rai generated.
What i'm trying to say is i think the situation that you found your self in wasn't your fault, and now people may be bias against your position/alignment

just read his posts in iso and he hasn't voted anybody except Loopdan, and even so he retracted after finding something (forgot) that Loopdan said or whatever.
My first forum mafia game I subbed in as scum day 3 and the 2nd of 4 scum got lynched so it was just me and the most experienced player (not a newbie game) and I won in lylo.
Anybody voting locust: get off or you're scum. He's townie. One of the guys on his wagon is scum. Psyche could definitely be the lurker scum partner. Notice how a lot of locusts wagon was my wagon too? Jackel was early on both so on one hand I'd like to lynch jackel but on the other hand Hellfire Missile voting me because I'm calm is ?????????????? like dude did you not read the massive ates????????? plus Jackel's vote on me seemed slightly better than the others

In post 324, Locust wrote:Hellfire I would be interested in your reads on other people in this game as well. It would help me understand your thought processes more and (if you are finding it so hard to get reads) may help you out with getting some of your own gut feelings. I would be interested mostly on your reads on Space and Psyche, but anyone else you have a strong feeling about based on their actions and perceived intentions I would also like to hear. The reason IU am asking you this is you currently seem to be here and active and the only people you have had reads on so far seem to be Joshz and a little on me.
i can't really read (no time maybe tomorrow? because reading takes alot of my time) but for Psyche he hasn't read anyone, only voted for one person (Loopdan) and quickly retracted the vote. I'd like to prod him but he's already been prodded.

thats all i got, it's not a hard read and i can't adequately point it out to you. i don't really think it's alignment indicative
just reads like a lot of you are trying hard to be a person you're not, hard to explain, irrelevant to the game

If you don't want to be lynched, you need to contribute worthwhile content. What is your plan to be productive D2?
"content" = reads(?)
hmm..
well if i don't get lynched or night killed..
actually, i'd like some help first.
Is my read on Joshz okay? (reasons, not who/what i think he is)
Imma try to base my actions depending on whether my read on joshz was good or not, and will attempt to refine reads
In post 370, Loopdan wrote:@Joshz-- Please explain how locust is guaranteed town.
He is town. I have nothing to cite. He is town and I know I'm not wrong.
What me saying this means is that he should NEVER BE lynched unless I am both killed and flip red (which, while not true, will happen at some point with how amazing this game is). This is because there is nothing to gain from his flip. If it's green that doesn't clear me and if it were to be red it wouldn't even help a ton. So what needs to happen if you want to lynch him is to lynch me first, pand once you see my green flip any doc we have needs to be on him. I don't even think his wagon has to be scum made but it's a bad wagon, almost as bad as mine. The best wagon this game is Psyche but I don't think policy lynching him is a good idea. Sobolev and HM both have merits but if you isolate HM it just seems really really fake and empty and frankly brushing that off and ignoring the topic makes him seem all the better to lynch.

In post 376, Loopdan wrote:@HM-- Why do you think him giving up is more likely to come from a scum point of view than a town point of view?
because town know that if they're night killed or lynched the town loses what i think of like a life. 2 mafia (right the table confuses me), and the rest are townie (6 players?) so if a mislynch and a night kill happen on day 1 the town loses 2 members, down to 2v4. another mislynch turns into turns into 3v2 (Mylo? something lo? forgot) but then another night kill means 2v2, mafia wins. (look it maybe this was a bad idea but I read the wiki and discovered all this okay fuck you joshz).
Town doesn't wanna get lynched because then if they do its another life lost and the mafia win comes closer to winning, while a good(correct?) lynch means 1v6, night kill 1v5, then the town gets more time to decide(?)
