Finished reading the thread. I need to read some things over as they were a bit confusing. Sorry for the lack of an avatar, Maestro hacked my computer and now I can't upload one~
Yeah it does, except it's the other way around.In post 179, notscience wrote:Doesn't this look like scum panicking "oh shit someone came in and pegged me who the fuck is this guy"
You don't understand them because I haven't explained them. These are not traditional reads like you see everyone else always making. Before I received my role pm I read through the thread quickly and briefly in point form wrote down the first thing that came to mind. Call it whatever you want notscience but my reads are not "forced" as you say, I didn't even know my alignment at the time. I said to take them with a grain of salt, you should really not be reading into them like you are. I would rather be someone who replaces into a game and actually gives some point of view rather than a lurker who doesn't give a fuck and gets a free pass. When you ask these kind of people questions they don't answer them, they find 52 ways from sunday how to call you scum, it's pointless. Yeah my reads are a little wonky, but It's kinda hard to get reads off a stale bunch of posts that you had no involvement in.In post 191, Brian Skies wrote:I think so too, but not because you're asking me to.In post 189, notscience wrote:Brian, your vote would be much better served on Redelphic.
Also, I have a tendency to not move my votes when I should.
VOTE: Redelphic
There is nothing wrong with posting reads. People are going to challenge you. It's how you defend those reads and react to those attacks that are going to affect how other people read you.
The problem I have is that your reactions to the 1v1 haven't been very good. And I find it strange that you found something alignment indicative enough to give Blue Bonnet and VA scumreads. Why did you give Blue Bonnet a "WTF" reaction but not VA? Why not give them the same scumread? If you didn't like Blue Bonnet's vote, why not just ask?
These two reads haven't been consistent with each other and they look too safe.
Blue is not my biggest scum read (at least they weren't at the time.) The list is not from least to most and the wtf refers to the first mention above it, more an emotion. When I wrote that, I simply said Wtf because it just looked so stupid when I first saw it. My reads change day by day depending on activity, if my calling someone a wtf scum is going to get them to post some real content then you should be thanking me. If you actually start acting town then I will change my read accordly, but if you act stupid and start freaking out I know I have hit a sore spot.In post 192, Brian Skies wrote:Also, you have Yami in between two slots that have been playing similarly up to that point in the game, but you have Blue Bonnet as your biggest scumread. Yet, you vote Yami? Why?
This is a big no no to me if you are town, I don't think buddying in any game is useful other than for town to find scum.In post 16, YamiNoKira wrote:Now, then... hello, Brian Skies! Fancy meeting you here.
So if I did this...
VOTE: Skelda
...you would like it?
In post 132, YamiNoKira wrote:My vote on Mutley is obviously not very useful. I'm half-tempted to just hammer Skelda for D2 reactions, but I'm not that stupid..........and votes on inactive players aren't very useful. Meh. I feel like pushing for a lynch since nothing's going on, but we have 9 days and lynching early is generally not seen as pro-town.
Hikari, how confident are you in a Skelda lynch?
This came off scummy to me as someone who is looking for an easy lynch. First, that hammer thing was weird at the beginning since you obviously were thinking of a vote without even checking the vote log. Second, after saying votes on inactives are useless and scummy you immediately vote an inactive player.
I would like to apologize for this one, the mention of a saki bus was not suppose to be in your category. It was a reference to the -kubbs- vote and must have been mixed up.In post 177, YamiNoKira wrote:When you are accusing people of bussing early D1, you're doing something wrong. Unless you feel like making an actual case on me, your vote and reads are meaningless to me.In post 167, Redelphic wrote:Early bus on Saki?
That said, will you elaborate? If you think I'm the scummiest of everyone, considering I've posted a lot (at least early on), you should be able to do more than one line of explanation.
Well I had limited time and access to my computer so I couldn't make a wall, I decided to simply copy/paste my quick notes to get me started into the game. I believe that I did mention it briefly in my original post but did not elaborate on it.Yami wrote:Fair enough, although I should mention that it is mainly a playstyle cause, not a scum-motivated cause. Now why didn't you mention this at all when you first called me out?
Just the way you said it in replying to his vote. When two players seem too comfortable with each other it puts me on edge and makes me wonder why they are trusting each other. I consider it something that scum do more often because it pollutes my reads for both since they are now tied together.Yami wrote:What makes you think this is buddying in the first place?
When making that post I was in isolation so I did not have the Viera fluff inbetween.Yami wrote:I did check the vote log (I think). As for my vote on VA, VA had *just* made a second fluff post: that's not inactivity, that's active lurking and specifically ignoring the game and not contributing, which isscummy. I think activity is a huge factor in games, and yes, I will push for a lynch on an active lurker unless I have a specific reason not to (such as an active player that I have a scum read on).

If I had a kill, you would be so fucking dead.
In post 399, Brian Skies wrote:Well, I'd prefer a Red lynch. So I'm just going to leave my vote here.
Any particular reason you went from vote sticking me to suddenly hammering someone else because "we needed it"? Yes we needed it and it worked out well, but nothing changed in the 3 hours between your posts. So why did your thinking change so suddenly?
Mutley didn't replace into the game, he was here from the start so I don't see it as the same.In post 250, YamiNoKira wrote:Is that not what Mutley is doing?In post 187, Redelphic wrote:I know Mutley and this is how he plays. I don't know VA and I don't understand why you would replace in only to completely ignore game discussion.
I replied to this in 285In post 250, YamiNoKira wrote:Fair enough, although I should mention that it is mainly a playstyle cause, not a scum-motivated cause. Now why didn't you mention this at all when you first called me out?In post 254, Redelphic wrote:Yami, the thing that stood out to me the most and put me on edge was the sheer amount of questions that you have been asking. It is something that I have seen scum use to avoid truly scumhunting while still appearing to help town. If you iso you it is easy to see a pattern, and while you did go back and forth with some of the questions I never felt you were truly interested in them. I counted close to 50 questions being asked for the entire game, and I really don't see that as town motivated when there is hardly any follow through. Call it gut, but I read it as scummy on my first read through.
Well without knowing that it was a reaction test it looked like a bit of a buddy statement. Since you didn't bring it up again it was impossible to see it as a reaction test without you commenting more on it at the time.In post 295, YamiNoKira wrote:I definitely wouldn't say we were "comfortable with each other" or "trusting each other". The whole point of my vote was to test what phokdapolees would do after having made that statement - not just to blindly sheep or whatever it is that makes you think it had anything in specific with phokdapolees and not the statement itself.
Is that why you decided to kill him?In post 436, Luigi Del Rey wrote:Oh, and in hindsight Dessew's flip was no big surprise. His last ISO posts were too agreeable and appeasing in general.
Did you ever go back to figure out Dessew's partner?

Also how did I go from the top of your "least scummy" list to a vote with no case?
In post 444, Redelphic wrote:You minimized my question by saying that only Hiraki is not a likely partner. You gave an answer that was the reverse of what I asked.
Who is Dessew's partner?
Why don't you freaking tell me....I've only asked 3 times >.>In post 447, mnemonicdevice wrote:Does Viera look like a partner to Dessew or Skelda though?
There is a difference between searching and asking a question that was clearly already discussed and where we had seemed to reach an agreement.In post 467, Hiraki wrote:This is scum searching right here. And he obviously hasn't been reading.In post 464, Redelphic wrote:I don't understand what we are doing, at the beginning of the day didn't we decide the masons were going to claim?
My mislynch is not going to lose us the game. I find this statement a bit peculiar to be honest.In post 487, notscience wrote:Without a fucking doubt.
