Ugh, I'm too exhausted to properly analyze this right now. I got through page 2 and started looking rather than seeing.
BTW the reads I did manage to get just from those two pages are Flames of Disaster, Captain Picard, andLincolmthenewearth as leaning scum. We'll see what that turns into when my brain decides to start functioning again.
UNVOTE: Tlachta C-

This reeks.In post 26, Flames of Disaster wrote:However, this statement does indeed break RVS. Let us generate discussion.
Captain Picard's wagon vote on Flames in post #33 reeks.
Lincolm #35: This reeks too.
Flame's posts at the bottom of page 2 reek. He's getting very bad scumtells off nulltells.
post 51 - If Hopkirk is thinking the same thing I am here, then he is sooooo town. Otherwise, he's probaly town.
NSU's opening post looks like townpie.
Not really a big fan of Loranthaceae #77. Trying to continue talking about the RVS nonsense is completely useless and you're the primary person keeping it going.
Captain Picard #80 is really bad, mainly because of the final part. Assuming that putting a number into your post and saying that it's the exact time you started your post THEREFORE YOU'RE WRONG NYEHHHHH just looks like a load of crap.
Flames looks really bad after #85. That vote is the single worst one yet.
Ibarra can be town for #86.
Picard's scumpicks in #87 include two probtown. lol
Flames of Disaster post 98 is just a bunch of logical stretches and otherwise bad logic.
MTD is giving me gut scumvibes for #106. I really don't understand how you can get scumreads on Tlachta and Picard for THAT reason.
Loranthaceae #114 wow is this guy going to ever do anything?
Lincolm #129 calm the fuck down with the random votes
Hopkirk... is like seriously town. How is anyone suspicious of him?
Tlachta C post 135 scumvibes. The self-vote part doesn't look genuine.
Loranthaceae #138 STAHP
Picard #148 putting words in NSU's mouth. Not good.
Loranthaceae post 156 This is the funniest post in the thread.
Loranthaceae post 161 Ok, finally you did something. You're off to the town pile.
I was prepared to give Loranthaceae more townpoints for #187, but #188 erases any possibility of that. Seriously, where did the Celebloki shit go?
NSU #196 wow he saw the same thing I did with Loranthaceae. It's almost like this slot is town or something.
Tlachta C post #199 - I find the second point very interesting, because Saki has done about the same of both and yet you don't have a scumread on him. I will keep this point in mind if one of you flip and turn up scum.
Now Loranthaceae goes back to a Celebloki wagon. I really don't know how to think about him anymore.
I can't read tne based on his early posts since I haven't seen his scumplay that I know of. TNE wtf pieguy is like the easiest guy to read ever.
page 10 is useless shit.

I posted everything as I read through it. That said, the vote itself was just as bad.
When the fuck did I ever call Hopkirk scum?
Not really, other than the one I pointed out.
You put words in NSU's mouth because you tried to completely discount one of the two options that NSU could respond with. If that's not putting words in NSU's mouth, that's really damn close.
I have plenty of people that I wouldn't mind getting a bullet in the brain tonight. I don't see why it HAS to be Flames.-

This game looks to be one where scumreads are more easy to get than townreads, so the people I can't really pin down look more town than scum in comparison. Note that this doesn't really change the fact that my read on them is very volatile. Ask me about my reads on them again when they've done stuff more concrete.-

If you truly read into me, then you'd also know that I find meta to be the biggest load of shit you can use for a case.In post 434, Loranthaceae wrote:I've been reading some of your meta and my gut says you are scum.
He's been dropping town vibes all over the place and no one has given a compelling case for him being scum whatsoever. I'm still mystified that people are seeing him as one of their primary scum reads.In post 434, Loranthaceae wrote:Also you came in as a replacement and could've brought a fresh perspective to revitalize scumhunting. Instead you go for Flames and Picard, arguably easy pickings because of the messed up attention their beef got early in the game and Flames' peculiar way of speaking. You call Hopkirk town. Hopkirk?!
Did you read any further than the first three lines of my catch-up post? With the first two points, I'm heavily leaning towards no.In post 434, Loranthaceae wrote:You bring nothing constructive to the table, that catchup post was just bad full of "this reeks" comments, which you happen to use in your past scumgames too, whereas as town you are focusing on alignment indicative issues and try to figure stuff out.
Now you're just flattering yourself. The difficulty of a wagon forming on me is not alignment-relevant.In post 434, Loranthaceae wrote:I bet if you were town your wagon would be 2 hitchers richer by now. Because of the way you play I only see two possibilities, you're either PR trying to keep your head down or scum and the amount of effort it needs for a wagon on you to build up can only indicate scum.-

So basically, you think I'm scum because you think I noticed your breadcrumbs and therefore think you're the jailkeeper while not saying so in thread.
I don't understand where you got the impression that I ISOed everyone either.
Either way, I'll believe the claim unless someone can CC.

also malakittens is a pretty decent option as well-

Yes, clearly I went after Flames and Picard because of the former being 'easy' and the latter because of breadcrumbs instead of bad logic and scummy points.In post 374, Ankamius wrote:Picard #148 putting words in NSU's mouth. Not good.
You haven't done anything to discount those points and instead opted to just blanket them in "bad full of this reeks comments", which I used... a grand total of three times in my catch-up post. You know what I would have expected town to do here? Push those points to see what grounds they were based in. Your meta argument is crap as you have given no concrete evidence whatsoever and the assumption you're making with it is just bad.
Your entire case on me is either stretched hideously far or just pulled out of your ass. You want to know why Zekram is going to flip scum? Because there are two people who are desperate to make sure he's not lynched. These two people are someone who's last documented read on Flames is a scumread (Loran) and someone who was supporting a vote on Flames for a long time (Tlachta C). It's curious how things changed as deadline got close.-

Don't bullshit. I started confronting you the moment you put your terribad vote on me. Your vig idea came several posts after.In post 553, Tlachta C wrote:
when i bought up the idea of a vig taking anka out he started throwing a bunch of nasty posts at me, this displays the mindset of someone who has something to lose by being shotIn post 547, Titus wrote:Why does afraid to die mean scum?

What's the difference between the two lynch and shoot otions, other than one being saved if he's the vig?
ie he's scum
the other question: my scum read on anka is stronger-

Did you read the game?
Loran pushed my slot hardcore throughout the first day and knew going into day 2 that pushing me wouldn't be particularly hard for him. So what does he do? He links Tlachta C to me and starts hardcore pushing for her death over mine. This move literally makes no sense unless he's scum trying to fling shit around.
And after that comment, I'm starting to wonder about you.
I'm just going to assume this was a joke.In post 620, Tlachta C wrote:

Null-Town: Malakittens, Saki, Ibarra
Town: No Stone Unturned, Lorantheceae, Hopkirk
This statement is just enough to warrant a future bus on Tla, even promoting her from null-scum to scum, but apparently not enough to vote her. It's a scummy post because he knew Mala was scum and that he can use this line of though later on, but he thought no one would notice that it doesn't make sense as town to promote a scumread based on a future flip.In post 374, Ankamius wrote: Tlachta C post #199 - I find the second point very interesting, because Saki has done about the same of both and yet you don't have a scumread on him.

1. You used my path of unvoting Tlachta C -> nullscum read on that slot -> scum read on my slot as your case for this section. Only... two of those are nonsense.
1a. You're trying to use an immediate unvote after a replacement as a point. ...why?
1b. You completely ignored the other point I made on Tlachta C... which provided the nullscum read.
2. Your reason for that post being scummy is equally nonsense because the idea that a Mala flip helping this is ridiculous. You know as well as I do that trying to push this point pretty much ever outside of a Tlachta C or Saki scumflip is absurd, so a Malakittens scumflip only means that it will continue to be absurd for perpetuity.
Also, I'm a fan of not revealing everything I have right away. There's another point on Tlachta C I noted in my head but didn't put into words. I feel better about my reads when I get pressured about things I say. That's one reason I'm vague with a lot of my points. If you want a hint of what this point is, it's in this post.
Um. YouIn post 596, Loranthaceae wrote:If Tla would've been lynched or shot he would've used it to give Mala a townread. But since Mala flipped scum he would use it to bus Tla at some point if necessary and have enough towncred to easily make it through lylo.dorealize that the association tell was between Tlachta C and Saki... right? Using that point to link Tlachta C and Malakittens together would be kind of really retarded.
I also find it very interesting that your entire focus was on trying to use a single point linking Tlachta C and me together (from my end) and linking Tlachta C together with Malakittens. If you were seriously trying to make a case for Tlachta+Ank+Mala scumteam, you would've put a lot more focus on bussing from both ends. My bet is you didn't include anything about bussing from Tlachta's end because it would've been ridiculous to assume that her blatantly sheeping you as the only reason for voting me basically ever in D1 could be seen as bussing instead of just trying to buddy a townie for towncred.
#605 is basically another bad attempt at trying to link us two together. You're basically saying that Tlachta C was hardcore sheeping you with really bad reasons... which is just as indicative of scum on town as scum on scum. Your point on scum tending to spread out votes is kind of pointless since you even admitted later in #610 that Malakittens never even voted for the entire day phase.
You've also failed to address basically any of my points except for a bland dismissal on my conclusion.
You have no real basis for Tlachta C and me bussing each other. All the links in this case are shoddy at best, nonsense at worst.
Your push on Tlachta C over me makes no sense. The only two significant scenarios I can see happening is you are town going full retard or scum trying to give more leg room for yourself. Trying to justify two targets for a lynch today instead of hardcore pushing for the person who you would have little trouble getting lynched with little to no risk is ridiculous. It's making me think that you know your case is garbage (hence why you only dismissed it and didn't disprove it) and want to draw attention away from that case with another one.
His associations with Malakittens also workexactlythe same as the ones he's attacking Tlachta C for. Only with him, he doesn't have the pseudo-tunneling going for him that makes Tlachta C more town with a Mala-flip.

Yes, that's what I meant. I have no idea how I managed to screw up the wording like that.
However, this doesn't really change anything. Your second point is basically defeated by your first point, since the unvote is not worth bringing up at all unless you're going to use it as part of your case. Unvoting someone upon replacement is just about one of the nullest tells I can think of. I'm mostly trying to figure out why it's relevant in any way.

You do realize that the association tell was between Tlachta C and Saki... right? Using that point to link Tlachta C and Malakittens together would be kind of really retarded.
Note for everyone reading this he (Anka) is talking about how Tla is scrutinizing (having a scumread on) Mala for inactivity but not Saki.In post 374, Ankamius wrote:Tlachta C post #199 - I find the second point very interesting, because Saki has done about the same of both and yet you don't have a scumread on him. I will keep this point in mind if one of you flip and turn up scum.I said earlier that it's because he (Anka) wants to distance himself from Tla as much as possible by calling her scum. BUT since he knows Mala is scum and Saki is town future flips will point towards the fact that Tla is town because she was discriminating, seemingly in scum's disadvantage. So no way does that argument even qualify for a real reason to lynch Tla and he wouldn't have - that is what he knew because he had the extra info to work it out. Because Tla is his partner and distancing from her without putting her in real danger is what he wants, and it looks nice on that catchup post.
Back to what you said here Anka
, what does that association tell doing in your post looking like a reason to promote your scumread on Tla, is the real question here. You are acknowledging that it is a tell. It's a towntell isn't it? Titus even says that Mala was afraid of Tla so it worked. That was the whole point of your statement about Tla in your catchup post, to get Tla some towncred .. so now we know.You do realize that the association tell
Why don't people take my discovery of this blatant scumplay seriously?
Once again for the easily distracted, It's day1 and Anka replaces in, Tla isn't in any danger of being lynched -> Anka promotes his null-scum Tla read to a scumread because Tla is entertaining a vague scumread on Mala but not on Saki = this looks like it's based on a future hypothetical flip for us townfolk and it doesn't make sense for us.
It's day2, Mala is dead and the connection between Anka and Tla is being debated, Tla is under scrutiny -> Anka is deploying a series of straw men to save his skin and he claims his post about Tla scumreading Mala but not Saki is an association tell between Tla and Saki, not Tla and Mala or even Tla and himself, noOooosaidthere's another reason Tlachta C got upgraded to a scumread. I guess dismissing it entirely and assuming it never happened counts as a point in a case now.
Association tells are very common things. That's one that stuck out to me because it was incredibly weird that she would give preferential treatment to one lurker over another when they've done basically the same thing. It had very little to nothing to do with my read on Tlachta.
I don't understand either way how it's not obvious that it was an association tell between Tla and Saki. You're trying so hard to make it into an association tell between myself and Tla or Tla and Mala when I basically state that I'll consider it is Tlachta C or Saki flip scum. Trying to promote Tlachta C town based on that point is... really dumb, like I said before.

1. Pretty much everyone was strongarming Zekrom's lynch. Trying to pin it on me alone is ridiculous.
2. You will have to explain where this "following post where I explained what I did there again" is, because the next post you made after the post I made that point in is your shit dismissal of my entire case.
3. Picard claimed when he had TWO votes on him. Do you seriously think anyone would have expected that?

If I had been pressured to explain that, I'd almost certainly have a townread on the person who applied the pressure. What you're doing is trying to strongarm that into a case no matter what I say in response.
So you're tunneling.In post 673, Loranthaceae wrote:

Defensiveness, bla blabla OMGUS.In post 659, Ankamius wrote:#605 is basically another bad attempt at trying to link us two together. You're basically saying that Tlachta C was hardcore sheeping you with really bad reasons... which is just as indicative of scum on town as scum on scum. Your point on scum tending to spread out votes is kind of pointless since you even admitted later in #610 that Malakittens never even voted for the entire day phase.
You've also failed to address basically any of my points except for a bland dismissal on my conclusion.
You have no real basis for Tlachta C and me bussing each other. All the links in this case are shoddy at best, nonsense at worst.
Your push on Tlachta C over me makes no sense. The only two significant scenarios I can see happening is you are town going full retard or scum trying to give more leg room for yourself. Trying to justify two targets for a lynch today instead of hardcore pushing for the person who you would have little trouble getting lynched with little to no risk is ridiculous. It's making me think that you know your case is garbage (hence why you only dismissed it and didn't disprove it) and want to draw attention away from that case with another one.
His associations with Malakittens also work exactly the same as the ones he's attacking Tlachta C for. Only with him, he doesn't have the pseudo-tunneling going for him that makes Tlachta C more town with a Mala-flip.

Hopkirk - My first read screams scum, but we can only have so many scums, so, a careful reread here too.

I'm liking MTD even less after that last post (and by last post, I mean #725). This looks like scum positioning, especially when posts like this. Seriously, I can't even tell where the hell this guy's reads are at any one point because they seem to change every other post.-

The consistency point was literally only about me not unvoting before voting in the post before that.
I'm voting jon_h61 because his response to me pressing that point reeks. He tried to half-ass a response to my point, but other than that it's been nothing but an attempt to discredit the attack or me entirely. The vote was to see how he'd react to that pressure.
It's also funny how he quoted a set of reads before I finished reading what I ended up reading. It's almost like he doesn't want anyone to know that his point no longer holds water once I show scumreads on both Loran and Tlachta.-

I've played several games with Ibarra, but I've had enough problems reading him in the past that I don't have any real opinion. He's been hard to read this game, otherwise.
Loran: A lot of his early game was just pointless chatter, his complete drop of the case on Celebloki out of nowhere only to return back and tunnel on it later looks forced as hell, and his case for Tla+me scum as well as the fact he votes for Tla over me rings alarm bells. Spreading suspicion everywhere can be a scum or town tactic, but this looks a lot more like scum since it looks a lot like he's trying to be very controlled about it instead of having his reads be fluid.
TNE: A few of Lincolm's posts pinged me, and TNE's general stances did as well. TNE especially basically tunneled Flames+Picard(+Hopkirk, but that came later) scumteam, then day two rolled around and he had to state the fact that his townreads became his scumreadstwicebefore actually voting. It looks fake as hell.
MTD: His recent reads are all over the place and some of his comments are completely bizarre in the wrong way.-

Celebloki's only real contribution relating to his scumread on Flames at that point was based on interaction with Tla, which isn't really saying much of anything since he hadn't expressed any scumreads based on anything. I'm not getting any townvibes on Loran's response since I don't really see why voting for Tla despite Flames being the only one on that wagon instead of putting the other (even with almost only townreads on that wagon) at L-1 is scummy. Just the fact that Flames is the only other person voting Tla is reason enough,In post 779, jon_h61 wrote:

It's curious how things changed as deadline got close.-

The point in all the posts I quoted were pretty much the entire post, which is why I just linked it instead of quoted since it's more readable.
Basically, I responded to his initial case on me, which he addressed none of in the one I quoted (two of which heused as part of his case again anyway). I posted another one calling him out on his two points on me... which he dismissed.-

Whenever a wagon simply won't start, I find it almost always means everyone is less willing to entertain them as a lynch option over other targets regardless of alignment. If both town and scum are ignoring your case, chances are the reason isn't because the target is scum.-

Keep in mind that Anka didn't give any reasons for Hopkirk being town. He just... kind of was. We can talk about Hopkirk's contribution to the game a bit later. But for now... this doesn't read as somebody with just a strong townread. This reads as somebody who desperately wants other players to back off of Hopkirk. Why? No reason given. And then, we learn in 373 that Anka didn't even read the whole game, but just got up to Page 11. So, he has this extremely strong townread on Hopkirk, to the point that he'll threaten other players to back off? Odd.In post 366, Ankamius wrote:Uh, no.
If you seriously try to lynch Hopkirk, I'm going to make sure you are not taken seriously for the rest of the game.
Yeah... no reason. I got a major scumvibe from Flames in the several posts before that one and Hopkirk gave me a strong impression that he was thinking the same way I was. Nothing else in his ISO pinged me for scum and I found every attack on him to be quite ridiculous, only escalating the townread further.In post 374, Ankamius wrote:post 51 - If Hopkirk is thinking the same thing I am here, then he is sooooo town.

What exactly is the point of this? You just spent four lines arguing with yourself and your conclusion is that you don't know.In post 818, Hayate Yagami wrote:374- Anka's analysis here is weird. It's not quite IIoA, because he does give opinions on the actions he is spectating. But... typically it amounts to "this is bad", "this is also bad", etc. etc. He rarely actually allows us into his thought process and explain WHY these things are scummy. They just are, by fiat. Though to be fair he does give reasons for SOME of his analysis, so... it's more or less a wash. And to his credit, his reads DO change this time. Maybe I was wrong about him? Well, let's continue.

Okay, but in all seriousness, if you're talking about #431, you're stretching this point horrifically far. I'll get into this later.
You're missing one key compenent: who the wagons consist of. My other strong townread was voting for Zekrom at the time along with a scumread and two nullreads. The Tlachta C voter was Zekrom... one of my strongest scumreads. The only other wagon was on me, which I'm obviously not going to support for obvious reasons.In post 818, Hayate Yagami wrote:So, let's get to when you blatantly hop onto Zekrom's wagon. There's two days until deadline. Still plenty of time to push a case on Loran or Tlacha (Heck, Tlacha already has a vote, you could move there and try and generate some momentum!), but instead to hop onto easy-lynch Zekrom, and push him to L-1. And then, instead of wanting a vig shot on Loran or Thalcta, two players whom you've been calling scum for the majority of the day... you argue for a vig on Saki. Who you were defending back in 441.
