Hey Baltar. You proved very tough to crack last time. I am hoping we can actually slay Scum together this time, and not have to go at each other. It was exhausting.In post 58, VP Baltar wrote:

I’m going to give you my first impression to your approach this game, and you tell me what you think. You’re beginning to strike me as someone who is somewhat bent on driving public opinion against DkKoba. From implying that Koba is Scum because they can’t recognize a joke, to questioning their vote while pushing someone else, you are giving me the vibe that based on Koba’s activity this early in D1, that you are somewhat set in Koba as Scum. Is that correct?In post 67, Infinity 324 wrote:

Alright I’m just going to put this out there. @Koba I’m not getting Townyvibes from you. I really didn’t like your attempt at a derp clear with the Scum not having Day Talk. In fact, anybody who made a direct reference to that should be under some suspicion (I don’t really have a read on VPB but I also noticed a reference there from him). Until it was highlighted, I didn’t even check whether this was the case. Yes, I initially assumed that Scum could speak privately during the day. But the Scum are far more likely to have wanted to communicate and strategize early, only to realize that they couldn’t (as included in the rules). So anybody who realized this probably felt it would be something they could use to clear themselves by making a point out of it. Paranoid? Perhaps. But something to think about.-

@Koba just because I said I wasn’t getting Towny vibes from you, does not mean that I think you’re sure Scum or something. Look I tend to be very skeptical of any appeals at an easy “Town clear”. And yeah I also don’t read all of the rules. So I get it. VPB’s point that it might be NAI is totally valid. But it’s also the attack on Shellyc (183). In any case, you know I like playing with you, so implying that I always do this to you when we’ve clearly worked well together in the past is somewhat unfair I feel.-

Yeah early D1s can be frustrating. Not going to disagree with that. But it’s the attitude that is more the problem, at least to me. If you don’t see anything that you find relevant to discern alignment, then you can just clearly state that you either don’t have any reads yet or maybe try and point to something useful or throw out a gut read. That moves the game forward.In post 272, Infinity 324 wrote:

Would you rather I SR you for providing a reads list, even though it was prompted? I know what you’re getting at, but what I liked about the list was that I did not find it offensive (I thought it was reasonable and could see how you arrived at some of those early reads).In post 379, Infinity 324 wrote:

This might sound silly, but I don’t want to eliminate geraintm just yet. Unless this is a strategy I haven’t seen before, no sane Scum under pressure just blurts out that they are not going to contribute at all until they have more information. It’s too blatant.

I’ll switch over here. I need to read some pages in more detail. I still haven’t been able to read every post.-

Okay my ability to pick out the Scum Team early is close to 0, so take this with a grain of salt. I was re-reading as carefully as I can, and through #275, I was at like a {JacksonVirgo, NDMath, VPB} Scum Team. I think Zdenek is possibly Scum, and did not like geraintm but there just isn’t enough there to make a legitimate push. My other thought was that if NDMath flips Town, consider shellyc. I think Koba is Town (sorry for doubting you earlier, though I am always open to updating my stances), and I think Infinity screams Town. Mainly because I agree with them a lot and think they’re reasonable and solving. Anyway, I’ll keep reading, I just wanted to put that out there.-

@VPB, as I’ve been catching up, I have noticed your early intense focus on geraintm (which I somewhat shared but then I moved away because it just didn’t seem like Scum would play like that D1), which is giving me pause. I also think that this narrowing of the pool for a vote D1 that you were trying to do here does not sit all that well with me, but I was trying to figure out how I felt about the game state in general before coming at you. I think you had somewhat of an overreaction with shellyc, and I think that pushing a slot that is really not providing much content to the level that you are, make me lean Scum on you to be totally honest.In post 386, VP Baltar wrote:
I won't take this as an insult I wasn't mentioned.In post 382, Andresvmb wrote:Koba where are you? I think there’s some chance shellyc is Scum here hahaha
I'd yeet shelly or geraintm today. You got a preference?
I also think there was a meek attempt at distancing possibly between JacksonVirgo and VPB that I would pay some attention to (275). And the reason I’m calling it distancing is because I do think that Koba was right - there’s something funny about how JacksonVirgo retracted that test on shellyc. The issue at that time wasn’t the fake claim itself (which in context is fine since multiple people have fake claimed DayCop, DayVig, Loyal Neighbourizer, etc.), but the quick retraction. So providing multiple examples of how people on another site never take fake claims from JV seriously just seemed overly self-conscious.
Anyway, I wanted to provide some explanations for those early thoughts I put out. Still reading.-

Also Tayl0r I have you down as Town. But I think you’re take on my reads is just weird. I can so easily be wrong. I had the game entirely backwards in the last game I played here. At least I had some of the associatives right, but literally my reads were upside down. So it’s entirely possible I have it just wrong and you’re reads are spot on. But the immediate conclusion that I can’t be opposite your reads, and therefore I’m Scum, seems kind of strange to me.-

One other interaction that I spent some time thinking about was the Marky Mark / Koba interaction where Koba brushes off some criticism from Mark by asking him not to misrep them. What I really thought was interesting was how many times Marky Mark decided to return to the point that Koba was being Scummy by not specifically pointing out where Mark was in fact misrepresenting them. In effect Mark makes the argument initially that Koba could be doing something that Mark does as Scum, which is to post a lot to obfuscate or hide the more important points (or something to that effect). I just thought it was obvious what Koba was taking issue with. So I don’t get the need to also make the additional point that it’s bad that Koba didn’t specifically signal how they disagreed. I mean, the point was put forth by Mark. If anything, they are the ones who have to prove it. And as far as I could tell, there weren’t any examples put forth. So it was something difficult for Koba to really fight against, yet Mark almost seemed to get overly offended by Koba brushing him off like that.-

This is absolutely true. At least initially. I think I need to be sure that I’m playing against the Town version of you first. I just don’t have a baseline. All I’ve seen you do is be Scum twice, and win both times against me.In post 394, shellyc wrote:

Andres is your vote because I'm apparently really self confident when that's strictly NAI
And it’s not too Scummy to be Scum. Others have already confirmed that geraintm actually approaches D1s like this consistently. So it’s NAI and we should consider looking elsewhere.-

My point is a little more nuanced than this. Yes, narrowing down the choices for D1 is what we’re all trying to do. It just seemed overly narrow to me. And I must say, it’s not all that different to how you played Scum when I had to face you last time (though you were maybe a bit more aggressive in that game). Not suggesting you have a narrow range as Scum btw (can’t know that, and I have respect for your game). But you will forgive me for being skeptical of your slot here, yeah?In post 786, VP Baltar wrote:
I typically try to narrow the pool D1 to keep it productive. Too broad of a focus leads to very long D1s, imo.

I have something to add here about Not_Mafia, since we’ve played together on another forum (several times). I already think they’re Town. I don’t know that you’re going to get much more from them actually, but they definitely can be useful. They tend not to be, but they won’t completely self-sabotage the Town either.In post 525, VP Baltar wrote:Also, for anyone who has played with not_mafia....what was your experience? Do they become useful at some point later in the game if they are town?
Also, I see @Not_Mafia you’ve been somewhat censored over here haha that’s a shame.-

I also think Jackson’s push against Koba (around 542) is Scummy. They tried to argue that there was a meaningful difference between Koba’s play in the game VPB quoted, and this one, while barely skimming through Koba’s ISO. Infinity immediately demonstrated that Jackson’s take was deceiving.
I’ll be honest, I can understand why Koba’s play is seen as abrasive. I mean it just is. That doesn’t justify half baked arguments against Koba.-

Sigh. What? You think trying to raise the temperature and not recognizing the similarities that VPB is openly saying exist between Koba’s Town game and approach here is Towny? Did I miss something?In post 552, Infinity 324 wrote:Jackson, I'd have to look at that game more closely, the posts in that spoiler have lots of different tones which range from lighter suspicions or thinking about who could be scum to things like "you're misrepping me" which I read as pretty direct. I saw some places in the other game where they were less confident too, though tbf maybe it wasn't in the same way.
Jackson feels towny from this-

I think Mark is way over focused on how Koba brushed him off. And I can’t say that I TR that.
@Marky Mark, can you maybe defend your original point a bit more? As in what posts from Koba specifically make you think that Koba is trying to overpost to “hide the important things”? And have you considered that another player might not approach Scum the way you do?-

Did I lock Infinity into a SR? I was more trying to understand where Infinity was coming from, and trying to figure out what level of certainty there was behind the read. They said they were still making up their mind, which I respected. I don’t really care for your description of my progression on Koba, but there’s nothing for me to disagree since your reasoning is vague.In post 646, Zdenek wrote:I really dislike Andres early on trying to lock infinity into a scum read on Koba, and I find his progression on Koba unnatural, from not getting townvibes/dislike attempt to derp clear themself to "Koba where are you? I think there’s some chance shellyc is Scum here hahaha"
Tomorrow I will work on the others.-

Maybe I should have phrased it better - pressure can definitely catch Scum. It’s just that there was no buildup to it when it happened. So unless Math creates a hole for themselves, you end up in a situation where others don’t join because the explanation just isn’t there.In post 714, shellyc wrote:where I explained why math is scum and just binned it as "slightly town!AI" for no reason
andres why do you think a flashwagon doesn't catch scum? this is garnering multiple reactions
However, what Tayl0r seems to have completely missed and I did was Scummy (and self-conscious) was Math admitting that the timing of their posting was off.-

Uhm, you point out that Math’s admission is Scummy, yet you go after Koba for having a whack progression and voting there? I’m not following.In post 738, JacksonVirgo wrote:In post 689, DkKoba wrote:the fact ur defending math just solidifies it

@Marky Mark but Koba did say that they thought that Jackson’s retraction of their test was off yeah? I mean I caught it, and I agree. So they might not have provided tremendous detail, but they did explain it. I’ll give you some background - Koba is not the type of player from my experience that will spend a great deal of time putting everything down. And that’s a play style thing. I understand why some players look for detailed explanations. As you can already tell, I tend to provide them. But not everybody plays like that and it doesn’t mean the play is less effective.In post 810, Marky Mark wrote:
So in 348 I raised a couple of observations: the one you have mentioned ref generating high volumes of fluff and also the fact that she voted jackson while promising to follow up with an explanation, but that explanation never came.In post 803, Andresvmb wrote:I think Mark is way over focused on how Koba brushed him off.

When dk claimed I was misrepping her it wasn't clear which of the above two points she was referring to, or even how it misrepped her, as they were both observations. I was keen to understand this. This could've been answered in a sentence, so when she decided to deflect the matter it seemed worth pursuing as it was interesting in itself that she had decided not to answer what seemed like a very straightforward question.
As a side note, I am not suggesting all or even any scum play the same way as I do (and if they did they probs wouldn't get very far as my scum game is pretty lacking ). I thought it was a useful observation to point out the behavior though, as it might not have been an angle that others had considered. Posting high volumes of fluff is rarely in the town's interests IMO as it makes it more difficult to grasp the important stuff, but that doesn't mean anyone who does it is auto-scum. Correlation but not necessarily causation.
