Anyway, hello folks, I'll do a catch up later on. I read the ISOs on verydark and BuJaber, though since they are the leading wagons, and I think Sparkles was right with his last vote, right before that verydark started sounding town, then Sparkles never followed it up.
BuJaber, on the other hand, does his big posts without really saying all that much. Plus, he's trying to make this weird sort of push on Gamma who I find to generally be a mislynch target from the beginning.
VOTE: BuJaber
Gamma's likely town by the way. I also ISOd him. Full catch up later.
I've only made one good post, and don't you dare accuse me of doing it again.
What a fun game. People scumread and vote me for townreading gamma and then a dude comes in and scumreads me for scumreading gamma.
You're simultaneously townleaning him and throwing shade at him from what I can tell. It's weird and I can't put it to words as well as I would hope to. Like 547 it's weird that you are asking that about someone you are townreading.
Plus, you said yourself, you usually have alot more scumreads than you do. Seems to me like you aren't trying to sort out your null reads so much as avoid sorting people. Scum move.

Some of you may know from previous games but I'll repeat myself here, I don't do the whole ranking read list thing, not my style. I also just do not have the time right now to do a wall post, but I read through the thread.
I'm not sure why Mylo and Kop are sitting around recently saying they basically have no reads. I find it strange, and I don't like it because at this point you should be able to sort SOMEONE.
I think Gamma is hard to read in general, which Math mentioned, but I think this is town Gamma, gut read. He seems to be more detached as scum, and not to care as much, here, seems like he cares. This read, because of the nature of me reading Gamma in general, though, is subject to change.
Math seems like town. He's been leading the charge on game solving and leading the charge on not looking for masons. I know this is late since I replaced in, but looking for the masons and telling the scum about it is stupid, don't do it.
BuJaber wagon is good. He's superficial, not providing anything in terms of content. I want back on the wagon.
VOTE: BuJaber
verydark I did play with briefly and spectated the rest of the game when I had to replace out, he was town, he's posting the same way here. He's another lynchbait target. I could find the link upon request of the previous game. (I'm just lazy and not going to right now)
Something_Smart also has very low content. He posts, but doesn't say much, and I always feel like that's a good place to be when you just want to survive the day.
Guilty Lion is working at reads, and slowly working out analyses on the list, I like this slot so far, despite a few missteps.
LUV I'm not clear on either way. But, I have too many people I see as worse, so not in my lynchpool.
pops, I have no idea on, I need to reread because I am just blanking on what pops has done and I have to be leaving in 5 minutes. (Reminder to me from me to do later)
KMD is doing good work, good analysis. Prob town.
Dave has reads, but no analysis or reasoning with them from what I can tell...

alright this is very good to know
so it looks like your only scumread is BuJaber, and you're townreading/nullreading basically everyone else
does that mean you've PoE'd yourself out of a scumteam?
i'm kind of in the same boat tbh, if bujaber flips town here then i'm gonna have to take a pickaxe to my ever expanding townbloc
I have some ideas if who might be moved from the null pile into the scum pile. I usually like to take more time to really let my reads sink in and mull them over while I'm not typing.
I just haven't had the time yet and didn't want to delay writing this too much, which not doing it just now would have done. I'm like 100% going home eating dinner then working on Fantasy Baseball today

___________
Ugh. 590 may actually be swaying me here...
First of all, he did the self lynch thing as he pointed out, in a previous game as town, so I'd say at best, it's NAI. Second, he overreacts to pressure, it's just new player jitters. And the walls themselves may not have lots of information, but it's similar here. This is just too close to his town game for my liking Day 1. Maybe later he does something that's more scummy, but I tend to give more leeway to people that I've seen act like scummy town in my previous games.

this is not at all why, I'm just busy and I haven't found much to say.
I re-read you and think the "doesn't say much" part is inaccurate. Certain posts may seem nonsensical in ISO but look fine in context.
I'll have to reread in context, then. I think Something Smart's portion was when I forgot about some of the player list and decided I didn't want to just do half now half later sort of thing, so I iso'd him rather than rereading the portions.
@S_S Why do we need a counterwagon to BuJaber? Are you townreading him?

These; also brass's reads in 586 seem to be mostly going with the flow and not really providing original analysis.
So, let me see if I understand this.
First, I reference the post 233, and you somehow connect that to 158 and that's somehow an issue that people should be scum reading me for? Do you understand that 75 posts in this thread came between the post from my predecessor to the one I actually referenced?
Then, my reads offer no real "original analysis". I offered my views, I provided my reasoning for them. Am I supposed to just come in and say "Well, boyos, you all are idiots, here's my totally original reads which you all got wrong"? Basically, what I'm asking here is what the hell you mean by "original analysis".

I'm sure Math could do the

If we want to counter-wagon, I could get on board with pops.
With Kop replacing out, there goes your policy lynch, Math, and in comes
another
deadline extension.
I'll put this here for now, because I'm hesitant to put Bujaber at L-1 unless anyone wants to give me their blessing.

I dislike everything about this post. You are scum reading BuJaber, but want permission to vote him?
You seem a bit annoyed with the loss of the policy lynch of Kop, too. And I'm going to need an actual case on pops from you, rather than just a "I want the counter wagon on them"

What game was this? I want to ISO him with a focus on numbers 2 and 5 here.
... ok verydark gave the link already:
I dunno. I see a much heavier focus on scumhunting and reads and I don't see anywhere near the level of survivalistic play that I've seen from him here. If anything, I'm thinking any doubts I had are fading here. I still think verydark is scum and is the best lynch today.
Looking at the game again, you make a good point. Along with the post above this has definitely made me rethink my read, not sold on verydark town anymore, he's not even making a case for his proposed counterwagon, too.
Green Crayons seems legit, as well from his posts.

I'm thinking for now, Green Crayons is looking pretty "meh" overall. Kop was already lurking before the entrance, and I don't know about Kop's usual meta, but the way day 1 went, I wouldn't be surprised if one of the lurkers was scum.
696 was a post promising a catch up and "endorsing" the lynch while encouraging a claim. Then returns in 700 makes a general post on BuJaber, again, talking about a scum read of him. Sits back on the vote again. This is the most content he has produced, because the rest are mostly promising content or talking about things without reasons.
711 is a question to Gamma that seems to actually throw a bit of shade at both Gamma and pops in that it implies that no good point was made, rather than just him not understanding what the good point was.
712 are naked reads without analysis, promising more content.
777 and 778 are complete rehashes of what he said before, again, promising content he has not done. Remember the content promised in 778 and 712 had iover 48 hours between them.
In post 795, davesaz wrote:First pass VCA indicates it's unlikely that KMD is scum.
Could you expand on this a bit?
Seeing who might comment on it. What do you think if you look at the VC?
In terms of KMD, she didn't move her vote off if Verydark at any point yesterday. So, she was not by any definition opportunistic.
Seems she made a scum read and stuck with it the entire time.
I don't follow this. How would it be opportunistic to vote for Bujaber since he was scum? If anything, by not changing her vote you could argue she wasn't going to vote for her scum partner.
I'm not saying that voting BuJaber would have been the only option.
Scum usually vote in an opportunistic manner, getting onto a promising mislynch wagon somewhere in the middle. She was the first one on your wagon, and never got off at all despite any other wagons which may have formed, nor did she argue for a different wagon than yours or BuJaber's.
The question becomes, though, are you scum reading her?

In post 813, davesaz wrote:Would the only two votes on a CW to scum be likely to be scum partners?
But verydark was not a CW, I thought. BuJaber was a CW to verydark. Wasn't that what happened?
In the broader definition of CW, it's any wagon not the leading wagon. Doesn't really matter to me what order they started in.
KMD certainly wouldn't be ruled out by this, it's more a likely vs not likely thing for me.
Okay, I see your point here.

Recent posts by Green Crayon are pretty okay. Also, Math, in regards to your list of lynches, I really dislike lining up all the lynches beforehand in any order. We need to be able to adjust to new information. I will not be following some preset list of lynches for you.
I'm also a bit curious as to why Mylo came in, said he talks more day 2 and says nothing else other than go with the idea that never gets him hanged. My vote looks good there while I drink my coffee this morning.
VOTE: Mylo

I think Green Crayons is probably town.
Mylo still seems like scum trying to drift by.
GL could be scum, but I think I should meta-dive a bit like Mathdino does to confirm the possibility.
Gamma was playing his town game Day 1, and is playing his scum game today. I think he could be slipping into old scum habits, but I'd prefer to give another day.
I'm staying on Mylo, if I have time to metadive GL before the end of this day period, I'll let you know. No promises.

Okay, looking at Math's scum game, I'm willing to say this is closer to a town play for him than a scum play. He is good as scum as well, but I see enough differences to give leeway to him. Also, I'm not sure that scum would commit so fully to continually telling us how many mislynches we have. That just feels more towny than anything else. I guess for now I am willing to follow him while his reads at least partially align with mine anyway. I don't think GC is scum, I believe I explained that Day 2, so, a Mylo lynch today for me if I'm following Dino's lynch pool.

Generalizations based on the previous game Math linked there that make me think this is town Math.
First and foremost, no lynch orders at all. Math as town loves to make the lynch orders, it seems, even Kmd just referenced it. Lynch orders, however, lock you into reads, and I'm pretty sure as scum he wouldn't want to be locked into his reads. That's the biggest one.
Otherwise, there's tone, while Math has definitely been assertive here, he hasn't been what I would call aggressive, if you understand what I mean. In that game he's aggressive attacking the players, here he's more attacking the plays.
I think these two factors are enough for me to confirm that this is a different sorry if game for him.
And I've done this in two games now, going over my reads again, there's no way I'm every lynching math in this game either. Explaining my reads actually helps me more than I thought
I've only made one good post, and don't you dare accuse me of doing it again.
I get aggressive because I legit get more emotional/pissed off playing scum
Because I feel cornered/claustrophobic
You're the first one to pick up on that gj
I've made lynch orders as scum in a large before
You can't really make a lynch order in a 7p game lol
Have I unleashed a monster onto the mafiascum community?
And, I guess the lynch order thing makes sense there, but I think the pure tone is still enough to go on.
I've only made one good post, and don't you dare accuse me of doing it again.
i'm gonna be so mad at myself if mylo is scum and i couldn't get him lynched
look ok but
D1 was either
A. scum bussed the shit out of bujaber
B. scum was too inactive to save him
this is obviously consistent with the "scum on the dave wagon" theory because all candidates for either of these scenarios voted davesaz
i believe it's more likely kop couldn't save bujaber than that GL/brass bussed the shit out of him
Kop was super lurkey, but seemed to do that everyplace at the time. But what has GC done to warrant suspicion?
