My question was directly related to your response that you wanted to make discussion.In post 41, Atarashi Hajimari wrote:
Bugspray is a gut feeling, and Luca primarily after 31. I feel as if he's been feeling out how other people feel before committing to a read.In post 37, wilky wrote:

There is no better way to spark discussion than discussing reads, however slight they may be.-

Ah, my question above was answered here; you were using Flips to make a point rather than actually SR'ing him.In post 95, wilky wrote:
So you agree that they had no basis for their argument?In post 93, Atarashi Hajimari wrote:Your posts come off as frustrated townie. I haven't spent much time looking over how genuine that frustration feels but I put you more solidly in my town pile for now.
Bugs I'm not certain on. I don't want to come off as rude, but I almost want to ask if they've been drinking or something. It just seems rambling and random. Gonna think on it more.
The bit that gets me most frustrated is that I actually tried to have a discussion with Bugs about it and show them they were wrong whilst getting a good bit of 1 to 1 interaction to help me sort them. Bugs shut down the interaction at every angle so I tried to be more blunt and go "hey, you accuse me of being scum because i'm doing this but someone else is actually doing it more" then they voted me.
I don't even think its scummy what emperor was doing this early in the game I was trying to point out the flawed logic and hypocrisy in bugs posts to them.-

I'm leaning Town on Wilky and scum on Bugs from that interaction.
Bugs looks like they're shading while playing the VI card with statements such as 'I'm bad' - it's an easy way to not be held accountable for your reads and to basically make yourself unreadable, but this doesn't feel genuine and isn't true to Bugs in my experience with them.-

Reading from page 6 so bear with me.
In post 132, chazary wrote:VOTE: Atarashi
You seem overeager to get other players' opinions without giving any of your own.
This feels a bit like forcing a SR from Chazary - his shade was proven wrong, but he maintains his stance while shifting the goalposts a little.In post 136, chazary wrote:Sorry. I guess I was wrong about the not giving opinions thing. But some of those reads lack reasoning. And more recently you're just asking other players about things without really saying anything yourself.
And I realize that wilky is a townread for you but I still find it odd that you @ed him like that.
I don't see why it was odd to ask a TR for their opinion either - half of the game is about identifying other Town players and working together with them.-

This seems a bit extreme. I'm TL'ing Wilky by this point but have seen one or two things I don't like (which I'll come to later).In post 182, Atarashi Hajimari wrote:In post 172, Emperor flippyNips wrote:@atarashi– what are your reads looking like?Wilky's hard town for me.

I'm leaning scum on you, cliff, and chazary.
Everyone else is null. Special shootouts to political clout and dweller because they haven't done much of anything and I wanna see them play the game before I comment on their affiliation.

I think clidd comes out of it in my scumread pile and chazary makes his way into my town reads. What do you find weird about it?I actually really like chazary's responses in it and its made me pretty much lock him town right now.
How does it lock him as town? (if you've answered this question later on then nvm)-

Clidd's 259 seems decent. His read and comment on me don't seem to align, however - "these first posts, in particular, are not yet congruent with his true ability to formulate reads. I expect more from him" - and yet he has me as'town indicative?
I like his comments on Wilky, which reflect my view as well at this stage. I'm pretty sure this is Town!Clidd based on this post alone; I'm not sure he would have had the energy to produce this post as scum.-

That's a hell of an assumption.In post 266, Atarashi Hajimari wrote:
That claim seems... early.In post 265, dweller wrote:Hey why people are voting me?
I claim Vanilla Townie.I'm extremely sorry for the lack of activity. I'm busy with some of my projects. As soon as I'm finished I will start posting my reads.Scum buddy tell you "hey a bunch of people are voting for you, you should get active"?
I think usually this claim comes from Town, because scum have little to gain from claiming VT early and a fair bit to lose, but I've see newer players do this as scum before - perhaps not realising VT isn't a claim that is going to save you from being lynched, especially D1.-

The SR feels insincere and more like self-preservation, given Dweller hadn't even mentioned Chazary up until that point.-

I have a town pile of Hajimari, Clidd, Bugs and Wilky. Flips and Clout are entirely null atm, and I feel both main wagons have scum equity. The fact it's such an even split usually implies the wagons are TvS. The fact neither Chazary nor Dweller are currently voting each other, along with Dweller's 275 which feels like testing the waters, means S/S isn't entirely off the table either.
The fact the Dweller wagon consists entirely of my TR's and the fact Dweller has claimed VT means I'm pretty content lynching this slot today. Before I signal intent, I will do some ISO'ing to try and sort the 'null' players.-

Just read through Flip's ISO and again nothing much stood out. Usually I SR a lack of town play, but I've seen Flips play like this as Town before. One thing that stood out, though, was his position on the two wagons, particularly this sequence:
In post 371, Emperor flippyNips wrote:jeezus fucking saving all christ. can we just kill chaz alreadyIn post 372, Emperor flippyNips wrote:wait why is dweller about to die?In post 373, Emperor flippyNips wrote:...should i hammer.?In post 375, Emperor flippyNips wrote:lord knows i want to.................
im gonna close my computer so i dont. if thats still the way it is tonight im doing it & that cant be helped
I'm trying to see how this is a Townie thought process:In post 377, Emperor flippyNips wrote:that being said chaz should still die. p sure thats scum.
A) Wondering why Chazary isn't dead
B) Realizing Dweller is L-1
C) Asking for permission to hammer
D) Emphasizing how much he wants to hammer
E) Turning his attention back to Chazary.
I can't ever remember as Town seeing someone I don't want lynched at L-1 and immediately thinking 'should I hammer?' There's something contrived about this sequence which makes me feel it could indicate Dweller/Flips as a scum team, with the latter trying to subtly save the former while making out he is keen to hammer.
Btw, I don't get why Flips SR's Chazary so much - can you explain that one, Flips?-

Another interpretation of that sequence is if Dweller and Chazary are both Town, and Flips is positioning himself to hammer while still maintaining the pretense of his earlier SR.
Either way, his SR of Chazary doesn't seem real, and 377 seems more like an afterthought to stay somewhat consistent rather than being genuine.-

Are you suggesting his scum partner, if active, would compose Dweller's replies for him?In post 456, Homura wrote:Strongly feel that dweller's words were his own during Clidd's push, even if shakily reasoned. Either that means he's scumpartners with a sedentary player or he's being proactive on his own whim.
Not at all fond of his scumreads on my slot and Clout's, though.
I don't think I've ever seen this done, probably because it's something that would come across unnaturally. The odd bit of advice here and there is what usually happens, but day chat is underused by many on this site.-

i wanted chaz to die. yesterday morning i planned on lolhammering last night if it was there cos i've never done it & sounds fun, didn't do it.
1. didnt feel right
2. i got high read my book & fell asleep
3. if i was scum why wouldnt i just lolhammer then & deal with shit the next day?
i dont think luca knows how to read me well, pretty sure he always sr me except for certain special occasions that i can't currently discuss.-

I agree with this.In post 584, Homura wrote:
dweller's reaction being as lukewarm as it is isn't town-indicative. NAI at best, or scum-indicative — scum will have to fake anger, because they were rightly accused. The reason you recessed on your scumread on dweller is the exact same reason I scumread him for.In post 575, clidd wrote:He put me as null here, even with all my tunnel on him. This is extremly weird. I do not believe that I will say this stupidity, but I believe that, given the peculiarities surrounding his experience (which is more newbie than most), maybe (I mean, maybe), he is not scum. There was no resistance against my push, nor was there a reaction of anger or fear at the provocations. And no, he is not a fake newbie (I checked his past game).
The only time scum show natural anger is when they believe they are being SR unfairly, in my experience.-

Maybe you would, but a lot of people find this hard to do as scum. I just had a scum game and my partner couldn't defend himself to save his life, despite possible avenues for escape being open, and despite being a PR.In post 665, Atarashi Hajimari wrote:I'm also not seeing how the resigned feeling is scummy in this instance. If I'm homura and scum sitting at l-1, I'd keep fighting because the people who have been hard townreading her (myself, wilky, luca initially? Might be wrong on that one) haven't participated in this recent discussion.
I thought Homura's tone was pretty townie when she entered the game, but it's changed for the worse since pressure has been fully applied, which doesn't bode well.-

Why would you assume that one scum is on and one is off the lynch wagon, Jailor?
It also makes little sense that Homura would push a hopeless wagon when in a 1v1 dog fight, with her partner subtly trying to save her. Until I voted Dweller, Homura was staring down the barrel with Wilky promising to hammer, so unless I'm her partner (which I know I'm not) then she is Town.
I think both of the main wagons on D1 were Town. Scum is within Flips, Jailor and possibly Wilky, Hajimari, but I have to review them.-

The reason I wanted to wait for Wilky end of day one was because I felt Wilky/Homura could be partners, but the fact Wilky was promising to hammer meant this wasn't likely to be the case.
As scum with Homura, Wilky could have easily taken the stance of 'I won't hammer my biggest TR, I'd rather No-lynch'.-

Yes, he could have taken the stance of 'not hammering my biggest TR' and hope it goes to a No-lynch.
Promising to hammer would have put himself in a needless predicament as scum with you, as he'd have had to carry through with it. I felt like there were grounds enough to warrant a Dweller lynch over you (hence my vote) so his actions just don't make sense as S/S with you.
I am suspicious of Wilky's stance independently, however, for the same reasons.-
