Which was
Me (The Wall) -> Briar (The Keep) -> Ana (The Keep) and then You (The Gate).
What was your reason to go into the gate if you were townreading Briar? Which I'm pretty sure you stated you were.
Sorry, I've been around but felt like there wasn't anything for me to respond to directly and I didn't have the time and energy to reread Briar interactions today, that's my big project for tomorrowabsinthe wrote:Would the other townies please post?- Lukewarm

I'm not going to freak out post-game or hold it against you forever, you have to understand I'm taking the same risk right now as well, so me being all pissy sometimes is not injustice of being misread it's being misunderstoodIn post 1977, Dunnstral wrote:You make me afraid to get your alignment wrong

Like I want to be helpful, but I am feeling a little lost on how to help you. Like both decisions are mostly going to fall on you, so I want to help you figure them out, but then I also feel like the things I bring up as suspicious, you don't agree with, so like, am I helping or really just distracting you?- absinthe

Scum partner here is FL and you can see how unwnd performs theatre, andhas some complaints, and posts a lot. Big word count.
After looking that game over I wouldn't feel comfortable towning them for anything in this game, they put their all into scum- Lukewarm

If you think that Unwnd's posts for the first half of the day were coming from sleep deprivation / frustration, then I am back to thinking it was Dunn.
At the time, I was thinking "maybe scum!Dunn got spooked because he wanted to ensure a 1:1:1 split" But then I did not press it because that would only make sense if Infinity was town. So I said the idea would probably resolve its once the keep was flipped.In post 1298, Lukewarm wrote:
There was another reason I thought Scum!dunn might have done it, but there is not point in going over it (might make unwnd angry ) and the thought will actually resolve itself after the other minigames are revealed anyways.In post 1288, Dunnstral wrote:The problem is that Luke is right but they're arguing that it's suboptimal, not that it's scum motivated
Because if I'm scum, and infinity is also scum, and s_s wants infinity at the wall, then there's no problem with that unless you think I got spooked for a different reason, which sn all town at the wall (though from your pov there should be doubt about me being in that position as scum in the first place)
I also did not like his transition from saying "lets solve the keep first" to "lets solve the keep last." Because the reality of the situation is that that would have been very, very bad for town, but good for scum!dunn (I will concede that town did not know it would be bad for town at the time). But, like a lot of his defenses early on during the day revolved around "well I can't be scum with Infinity, and therefore I cannot be scum." So scum!dunn would have benefited a lot from infinity remaining the assumed scum for as long as possible.
I also did not like the transition on his read on me
Spoiler:
He came into Day 2 with me as his scum solve, seemed suspicious of me only talking about mechanics / his comments from Day 1 regarding Ana/Briar. Then I started talking to him, and we talked about his comments from Day 1 and mechanics. Suddenly he TR me.
Even in the moment, I really did not understand why he would have switched
Spoiler:
And I was thinking, nothing that I have talked about should have convinced you that I am town if you were scum reading me for the reasons you said you were scum reading me. And so I was worried that he changed stances because my scum read on him was faltering. (and the IC stated they had a hard TR on me <3 so it would be harder to miselim me regardless)
You asked earlier why Dunn would have waited to put himself into the keep, and I think that he was not super pressured into doing it because Briar+Catboi were already locked into different zones, so there was no worry of them getting iced into a Day 1 loss. And the game state did not look like we were all locking in any time soon. I personally felt like we were not going to make any progress for a while. Then I locked in, you immediately locked in, then Dunn saw the arrangements moving forward, and he locked in too.
Like the game was stagnated with 5 open slots. He was in no rush to lock in. You and I locked in. He quick locks in.
His stated reason for quick locking was to keep Infnity from the Wall, and when he said it, it felt true. But now... that could be his true reason as town!dunn or as scum!dunn- Lukewarm

And putting myself in his shoes if he were town. During the Day 1 quick vote. He sees SS suggest Infinity goes to the wall, and he decides I need to stop that from happening. He votes, but does not say he is trying to stop SS from getting what he wanted or even just quote where S_S suggested Infinity go there? Or something? I do not like the 0 context surrounding his lock in.
But on the other hand, scum!dunn sees you and me both lock in, goes to scum chat and says "what do you guys think I should do" Briar says "lock into the Wall so we can guarantee the win at the Keep." He locks in with an otherwise empty post to give himself time to think of a townie reason.- absinthe

I'm getting pretty close to just voting.
I just have a few things clarified so I'm not missing anything.
Luke, I'm pretty sure you're town. There is some doubts in some places but I'd be very impressed if you were scum here. I do note one behavior however and that's within your analysis you don't really come to a proper conclusion. Even your recent posts about you leaning back on Dunn, it sort of just ends. Your thought goes full circle and you pretty much say 'I can see town!dunn and scum!dunn doing this'. It begs the question why you wrote that all up and went through the trouble just to not formulate an endpoint. It's fine to give heady analysis and think about both perspectives, I do it all the time. That isn't my problem here, rather I just wonder what's stopping you from your own commitments. I remember your conviction being much stronger in the last time, but I am also aware that you are being more cautious after being wrong on ffery. I don't want to make that a proper excuse for you however.
I'll start somewhere else because I'm sure your response will either be a repeat of what you told me before (I'm just doubtful and don't want to tunnel again) or it might strike a nerve. Who do you lean when it comes to Catboi/S_S and why? This will be critical to Absin barring we get the Wall right, and I don't remember your stances on eitherStop- unwnd

Here are some of my recent completed games. I think they are more relevant than a year ago when I was still getting my bearings. I also think the TM2020 game is a bad reflection but I idigress

I think Dunn's hammering of the Wall was the most significant move, and at the start of this phase I felt it was a town move and his reasoning for it was sound. I still think it feels more like a town-motivated one but I'm struggling with the read right now for other reasons I'll be getting to in a moment.In post 1978, absinthe wrote:
