Should you keep your old reads on slots that replace?

I kinda disagree with the above. I think a new replacement is a good opportunity to get another data set on your read, so to speak. Yes, good scum players can get out of those situations. But if you keep it in perspective with the situation and what the original player did, then an ideal town would be able to use to replacement to make a better situation.- Equinox

If you are asking strategy-related questions while playing a game in order to get advice on how to play those ongoing games, then that is not allowed and is a breach of ethics. Please wait if it is at all related to an ongoing game.In post 23, MiniDeathStar wrote:OT: Am I not at all allowed to ask strategy-related questions while playing a game?

As someone who's replaced into scumread-slots and turned it around within the day to make the slot town as fuck:
When a town player takes over a scummy slot and turns it around, if scum keeps scum-reading that slot out of stubbornness or a need to not have too many town reads? It's like shooting fish in a barrel catching those scum.
Turning around bad slots is also one of my leading causes of death, and I'm quite pleased with that.Join me on my quest to play every NES game! Some of them are awful.
Kuribo's read is foolproof: one night he was high on NyQuil, and he's ancestors reveiled Aureal's alignment to him. - Dessew- callforjudgement

Agreed, I've done this too. OMGUS isn't normally a good way to vote, but immediately after turning a scumread slot around, anyone scumreading you is highly likely to be scum themselves.In post 27, kuribo wrote:When a town player takes over a scummy slot and turns it around, if scum keeps scum-reading that slot out of stubbornness or a need to not have too many town reads?

I hate the use of the term OMGUS. It's a horrible way to slime a player that finds a vote on them scummy. (The real issue is a tendency to findIn post 28, callforjudgement wrote:

To be fair, it's far more common that the scummy action isn't the vote itself, but the lack of unvote soon afterwards.
(It goes the other way round, too; sometimes you can figure out that someone is scum if they townread you, and don't have an obvious reason for doing so.)scum· scam · seam · team · term · tern · torn ·town- kuribo

The problem is that OMGUS has been extended to mean "anytime a player I'm voting decides to vote me." When that isn't what it is at all.
