my two cents on ~setup specc~, anything going further than the obvious "scum picked [role] so town probably has [the role that is a counterplay to]" is risking slips which are imo more likely to happen to PRs than to scum so let's not

active lurking is like, posting meaningless post to appear to be contributing
both your and xof's posts neatly fit into that
like up to that point you were what, making an excuse why you won't post much because logging in is difficult, voting the mod, and joking about clint eastwood

The fact that so many people are throwing shade here when I am totally null on them makes me suspicious. Sorry tayl0r, come vote here now let's see what happens.
This is feels like a non-reason(?) for a vote. You find them suspicious because other people find them suspicious? Do you have any other reasons for finding them scummy?

In post 326, MURDERCAT wrote: The idea was that there is likely scum on the wagon, just because it's easier to get 5 votes from 13 players than 10. If you remember from Noir, you had an early wagon on you that involved a vote from PP. I think that scum often takes the opportunity to distance with an early wagon, so I had a theory that Random Canadian might be scum getting hit by that distance vote (also I saw that Random Canadian had logged on but not posted in this thread, which seemed a little off to me considering how early into the game we were). Either way I was curious how votes would react as the wagon accelerated. It's probably not super useful right now but I think it will be nice to look back on after we get some flips. I did hate Isis's vote to leave the wagon but she did the exact same thing in Noir (and I hated it there too :lol:). I'm not sure what to make of your unvote and revote.
Murdercat's progression on this feels off. You give no explanation for it, the wagon deflates after you voted, then you unvote and say it's for a test and it valuable after flips.

Why did you unvote rather than change to a different wagon? I know this may sound menial, but usually unvoting is a reaction to a post or something someone said.

In post 461, MURDERCAT wrote:@Narwhal what do you think of Plus right now?
Other than Isis right now, Plus is the other person I'm leaning scum on right now. Admittedly, he has said that he tried playing differently because he often gets mislimmed, which is part of why I am looking at Isis and have my vote there. I have mislimmed Plus in the past as town, but some of his posts in this game give me a feel that he has thought about them more and have scum drive behind them.
i dislike this post. plus is a growing wagon here, while at the time pretty much nobody is looking into isis, and i think a post like this is like, a good foundation and/or springboard for jumping onto plus's wagon later while still seeming like they were ~doing things~ by ~having a vote elsewhere~

also my hot take is that plus is probably Just Town? if someone makes a(n actual) solid case i'll look into it, but like, his readslist for this stage of the game seems fine? (i swear i'm not saying this just because i'm on top of it lmao) and what i found interesting is that later on when asked to talk more about his read somewhere, he refused. this pings me as town since i think scum!plus would be trying to do what he's asked of and keep explaining his reads, as opposed to just being like "no"

[edit] i might have misunderstood earlier when fast-skimming ahead, i thought it was just the second point. still think plus is town tho. [/edit]

so as i was reading, i opened noraa's iso, and i was kinda surprised to see 135 posts, then i realized i was mentally skipping over the vast majority of them because i'm having trouble there, and i'll probably proxy this read to george

reads like these are like... very bad. it's pushing the level-zero thinking of "hurr durr only scum wants to survive" which i really don't understand where that ~myth~ came from? especially as someone whose first goal is "don't get executed" regardless of the colour of my role PM, reads like these make me genuinely annoyed

and my further Hot Take that a blatant post like "i'm voting there to save myself" is more likely to come from town

He had explained scumreads on multiple others.
welp nevermind lmao
though i'm digging this read and still looking forward to a reread

BM is annoying me because he seems to still be scumreading taylor hard (who i'm currently leaning town on too), but also seems alergic to actually explaining/presenting that read
maybe i'm just throwing a fit at continuously being ignored when asking about it

anyway. lemme skim some iso's.

i originally voted for canadian because posts like and were giving me a distinct gut-scummy vibe of "i am posting things to appear active and/or helpful while not actually doing anything" (which was a mistake i made in a scumgame semi-recently which stuck to me) and i wanted to see if that would continue. it did not. i've already said why i disliked . the read on isis is, in a vacuum, *fine*. the rest of it is like, meh. i wanna see what he brings out once he returns.

xof i still think could be the easy and correct answer for scum, but my other head is telling me they're low-hanging-fruit. i think i'm interested in their read on gamma though, seems like there's meta there.

i've already spoken a bit about jewels in / and like... norwee is giving me the same vibes he did when i was playing scum against him. like, the closest he has to a read is , which like. it's bad. granted, i don't know how to read gamma, but nothing he's done or posted so far is like, jumping out at me or saying ~town~, so.

my current hot take: VOTE: jewel barons

I think Murdercat is taking posts out of thread context. His answer to *liking* BMs post and then scumreading him is intriguing. Posts in ISO context read very different, and BM's progression on Taylor feels a lot more natural than he cased. I think his post came from a mindset of scumreading first, and then casing second.

Because it changes the meaning? Scum wants to twist words and make someone easier to attack. Murder took posts that were pages apart and cased them as an overall progression on someone.

Like, he called BM shading us inconsistent with the Taylor read, when it had nothing to do with it.

anyway this caught my eye:

so you have scum!noraa right. and she sees that (1) a lot of people are scumreading her, meaning there's a decent chance she flips today, and (2) that people are jumping on the hot new lol-lurker egotisi wagon. does she:

a) start at least throwing shade at egotisi, bullshit a scumread there, so that she can jump on her counterwagon at some point without looking horrible
b) shoots herself in the foot??? by making these posts???

besides being very hedgy
, feels like a way to say "look I have my own opinions" while voting someone who isn't the most active and won't be defended by many people.
(1) yeah. that's how i play. not every question has a direct purpose. some are just to see if the answer Inspires me. if it doesn't, then tough luck.

"i''m scumreading norwee and the other head isn't doing anything town" doesn't really read as a hedge to me but i might be biased who knows lel

some other things that were asked of me earlier
In post 679, Jewel Barons wrote:So you're basing it just on me not having reads and saying that's my scum meta? Cus i was really just planing to derp around while Gamma did most of the posting.
(idk the point of replying to this but)
my idea is that town doesn't have to force themselves to have reads because it comes to them naturally
and i know scum!norwee does *not* get reads naturally
so the "hihi i was just gonna derp around" feels like a scum excuse more than anything
In post 988, Exorcists wrote:I did not like the Jewel vote at the end of egotisi's catch-up posts. I noticed the foreshadowing, but they haven't taken into account the modspew and this just feels like a wrong vote. Maybe also because I agree with a lot of their other reads, I don't feel this one is very plausible.
this is correct, i am absolutely not taking modspew into account. first, because i always try to not take things like that into account. second, because it doesn't actually spew anything, other than that the hydra doesn't have
their own
PT? like some mods set up hydra PTs immediately, some don't. i don't see how "oh, people are talking about hydras not having hydra PTs, better make sure they know i'll make a hydra PT if needed" implies their slot is town? like if we had just one hydra in game, i can see it if i squint. but we have three.

. You don't seem to care about the dynamic, since you vote Gem Barons in this post. Did you disagree with Dunnstral's take, or do you think the slot is so so scummy you'd acknowledge it and think it needs to be the very first lim of the day? I think it's worth at least day 1 pass in a setup where hitting scum day 1 is really good because it's always a scum PR, even if it's not something you could bring to eLo and say keeps the slot out of PoE.
see . i disagree with the take.
In post 1158, Isis wrote:If I had two votes I'd vote Noraa because her posting is making me nauseous again. Mis-stating whether her main points of interest started on her initiative or someone else's seems like the scum-indicative type of error (our earliest interactions in the game started with her saying she wanted to OMGUS me, so..).
the next sentence is once again expressing the willingness to vote noraa too. cool.

They're not contributing anything one way or another, but at least it's not actively bad. I know I haven't been doing all that much either, but I'm trying as best I can.
like this is exactly the reaction i'd have been expecting from scum!noraa
the weird non-read while obviously being open to jump onto the wagon
which is again making me suspect scum!xof

i think exorcists did the same "i'd vote either" on this page that i was calling people for out earlier but i remember townreading this slot pretty strongly so meh

Can you explain what you mean by active-lurky?
active lurking is like, posting meaningless post to appear to be contributing
both your and xof's posts neatly fit into that
like up to that point you were what, making an excuse why you won't post much because logging in is difficult, voting the mod, and joking about clint eastwood

is that all you wanna say after 7 pages? do you have any reads?

The fact that so many people are throwing shade here when I am totally null on them makes me suspicious. Sorry tayl0r, come vote here now let's see what happens.
This is feels like a non-reason(?) for a vote. You find them suspicious because other people find them suspicious? Do you have any other reasons for finding them scummy?

Also:
In post 178, MURDERCAT wrote:VOTE: RandomCanadian

I am going to very blatantly hop on this wagon because [reasons to be revealed later]
In post 325, MURDERCAT wrote:UNVOTE: by the way, served it's purpose
In post 326, MURDERCAT wrote: The idea was that there is likely scum on the wagon, just because it's easier to get 5 votes from 13 players than 10. If you remember from Noir, you had an early wagon on you that involved a vote from PP. I think that scum often takes the opportunity to distance with an early wagon, so I had a theory that Random Canadian might be scum getting hit by that distance vote (also I saw that Random Canadian had logged on but not posted in this thread, which seemed a little off to me considering how early into the game we were). Either way I was curious how votes would react as the wagon accelerated. It's probably not super useful right now but I think it will be nice to look back on after we get some flips. I did hate Isis's vote to leave the wagon but she did the exact same thing in Noir (and I hated it there too :lol:). I'm not sure what to make of your unvote and revote.
Murdercat's progression on this feels off. You give no explanation for it, the wagon deflates after you voted, then you unvote and say it's for a test and it valuable after flips.

Why did you unvote rather than change to a different wagon? I know this may sound menial, but usually unvoting is a reaction to a post or something someone said.

-ego

Just gunna point some stuff out as I see it. These posts directly contradict, but are from different heads. I'm not really sure what to make of that, is that just something that happens? Makes me feel like they were not discussing in PT, but I'm not sure why scum wouldn't be aligned in who they are pushing? But maybe it's not that important for scum to be aligned with a push early? I don't have a strong AI read on this but I am curious if anyone makes anything from it.
the pedantic part of me wants to point out that they don't *directly* contradict, we're town/scumreading you for different posts
the normal part of me wants to say that we haven't tried to come to agreement for our conflicting reads yet (mainly you/xof) (because most of our discord right now is "go post" "no you")
as for if it's ai, /shrug, i know what i'd say
In post 1249, Infinity 324 wrote:I think it’s probably more likely to come from town, since scum would probably be more careful about checking with their hydra partner to make sure they didn’t mess up. Not super AI though imo.
gut makes me feel like this is one of those scumposts where it's like, pushing a misexe, saying something is town-indicative to add ~nuance~ but not in a way that actually makes anyone stop scumreading the target

While I'm a bit skeptical of Infinity's motives currently, I also think we've kinda been stuck talking about a few slots and a wagon here shakes that up a bit.

Do you think infinity and me are ever scum together (asking because it feels like you are pointing at both of us here)

I pay a lot of attention to how wagons are formed and at first I thought the wagon on you was good as you hadn't really see much heat. But actually looking at the votes it didn't look very strong to me
i wasn't trying to point at both of you. to me it looked like your posts are more genuine defense of our slot, which is why my thought was "if murder is scum, this is a pocket" rather than "if murder is scum, this is a weak ass defense that doesn't do anything"

i didn't see any neon signs that say "never ever s/s" but right now i'd bet on not s/s, especially since me myself am not scumreading you

also i thought the ":(" at the end would be indication that i wasn't fully serious about accusing you of pocketing me but sorry if it didn't come across right

i already think xofelf has decent scum equity, and they just claimed vt. either they're scum trying to wifom us or they're a scummy vt. and considering how power-heavy the scumteam is, hiding our PRs is important. no need to be getting another claim.

If you unvote before the day ends I think it reverses

-ego

No, I don’t believe it does. If there’s been a hammer, the day ends. I will check with Brass just in case but not in any games I’ve been in, was that the case.
