Call this anti-town as much as you wish, suspicious if you prefer. Fair. The scum points mechanic is powerful; I'm aware of the risks.
I've strong reasons for doing so. By D4, you'll know why.
I've ~reasons~. Trust my scumhunting skills.

You have someone else in mind. I don't plan openers to games.In post 60, BlueSnakelet wrote:She probably planned to do it before even receiving her role PM.
Yeah I always was. I like having fun. As long as mine's not detrimental to others, why not? I'm a casual tryhard. Whenever inspired, I love to casually troll.In post 61, Doctor Drew wrote:I am learning that she is more of a troll than I ever knew lol.
Haven't actually read anything yet, I'm mid-date rn. I wasn't planning to be here seriously until 6-24 hours from now; when I saw discussion headed in an uncomfortable direction, I felt a need to clarify immediately and not let it continue. You'll see me in earnest later.In post 122, Dannflor wrote:ranger do you have a hipfire reads list yet
I don't recall playing a previous version of this setup.In post 166, Doctor Drew wrote:After seeing her do it in a previous version of this setup, I think it is just her fucking around and is NAI.
I most certainly did. ;)In post 131, Dannflor wrote:have a wonderful date!
They certainly enjoyed it~In post 132, Titus wrote:Congratulations to Ranger's Special Someone tonight.
Quite, 'twas too spicy even for speakeasy. <3In post 207, Andresvmb wrote:Is the 6-24 dependent upon the success of the date?
The image is meant to be humorous, yet useful as a tool for everyone confusing us. Acknowledging we're different people and treating us such is all you need do. You're quite correct about the loathing, too. It's not just being compared to her every game, despite our differences (and in our opinion, her inferiority). We just hate her style, always have. She's annoying. Thanks for listening. <3In post 211, Andresvmb wrote:I took the time to read this, and I really don’t know how to react to it.

I did! I appreciated it. <3In post 274, Doctor Drew wrote:(hence me saying 'you Drew you'.....she gets it I think lol).
I'm fairly certain I don't interact with posts as much as you're insinuating. You sure you're thinking of me?In post 319, Titus wrote:Based upon my prior game with Ranger, I'd expect more post interaction.
You assumed correctly about strength, yet incorrectly on commenting. I saw no need for providing feedback unprompted. Drew's in no danger, the game's very early, and I had nothing important enough warranting engaging there.In post 319, Titus wrote:A lot of Ranger's high to moderate town (well I am assuming strength) are the ones voting Drew, yet there's no comment from Ranger.
As I said, the gap between my Aristeia scumread and Titus scumread is massive enough where no wagon composition would make me concerned. Your presence as a jokeIn post 319, Titus wrote:Ranger's extremely confident that Ari's scum that she's willing to vote with her next biggest scumread on the wagon when that scumread is basically voting for the luls.
There's an easy solution to that problem.In post 319, Titus wrote:I find Ranger's vote odd strategically given I can't see the thought process behind her reads.
As always, I don't give full thoughts on everyone. Ask about changes in reads, or the approximate read level of slots in reads, and I'll gladly provide.In post 319, Titus wrote:@Ranger, Long story short I'd like to see more of your thought process.
First Ranger game, I see.In post 324, ina marija wrote: like wouldn't this be implied regardless as jjh hadn't posted since rvs?
It wasn't. It was among my strongest gut-townreads on page one as I vibed him town. Though strong gut townreads on P1 certainly retain value, I've more tangible/compelling reasons for townreading the slots above him.In post 325, ina marija wrote:and why was checking in to say as much so towny to you in the first place?
No? I'm not sure how to clarify my meaning here. I move people's positions regardless of whether they have posted or not. This usuallyIn post 333, ina marija wrote:would the expectation then be that noone else had read jjh’s post? or that you thought we might think you hadn’t otherwise?
Every time I don't have perfect clarity on why I have a player placed as they are, my read on them is stale. ThisIn post 334, ina marija wrote:i don’t even really understand the ‘staleness’ bit for the same reason
Well Aristeia's my top scumread and Doctor Drew's a townread. The vote wasn't noteworthy; it changed nothing.In post 339, jjh927 wrote:You two seem to be going back and forth on something inconsequential. Do you want to look at Aristeia's vote on Drew instead?
It's not assured, yet IIn post 343, Dannflor wrote:what do you find towny about Drew, Ranger?
I try to avoid this, yet have moments of weakness. :PIn post 385, Dusa wrote:Maybe Ranger might be extra explainy though

I've seen her iso and feel she's not bothering to hide her scum role PM. I thought it obvious if anyone viewed; if it truly wasn't, then I'll say simply: gut. Her posts appear lifeless. She's putting effort in, sure, yet I don't see effort to actually solve; I see effort to poster, positioning for manipulation. I don't see a vibrant iso. She's devoid of passion.In post 417, osuka wrote:why are you so confident aristeia flips red?
Scum players do not always perform at the same level.In post 430, GuiltyLion wrote:and I feel like she's made no real effort so far and the stuff people are registering as scummy is not stuff that scum!Ari is incapable of faking or doing well
so it seems a little too easy to me, I haven't found a reason to TR her but I'm skeptical that scum!Ari couldn't or wouldn't be doing more right now if she needed to
Clearly, Andres is 3p. ;)In post 437, GuiltyLion wrote:also I don't especially scumread Andres but the townreads on him feel a little too easy at this stage in the game, last time I played with him he was bleeding obvtown and he hasn't hit those notes for me personally yet
You're more likely to be seeing things for Titus, as my read there's largely vibe-based. She doesn't seem clearly town to me; I very well could be wrong.In post 618, Doctor Drew wrote:Ranger, is there something you are seeing about Titus that I am not seeing? I am getting a initial town read from her.
Smart.In post 518, ina marija wrote:so outside of that the way i best see to try to differentiate would be trying to think of process of creating them

Though I'm not immune to bias, I am far more resistant to it than my accusers often say.In post 636, NorwegianboyEE wrote:Your read on Ari just seems like conf!bias.
Sure. It'll require me referencing the scumgame GuiltyLion mentioned to give you an idea of what I mean and why I see it here. Since that's a marginal amount of effort, I can't do it rl-today; as me to do it rl-tomorrow.In post 642, Dannflor wrote: Can you point to specific posts where you see her doing that, Ranger?
That's a take I feel looks made up.In post 642, Dannflor wrote:Instead, it feels like Ari is approaching this like someone who doesn’t have a lot of information about the game or gamestate
You have the wrong impression.In post 644, RCEnigma wrote:Why is FA so low?
That's usually the case when town lead a wagon on town and scum hesitate to intervene.In post 651, Dannflor wrote:I don’t know why but this game feels so sluggish in terms of wagons building
Bad idea, I wouldn't.In post 656, GuiltyLion wrote:another issue is that I'm ?? on Ranger's alignment but if she's town I'd put stock in her townread on jjh
Amazing how you're literally playing the opposite of the style quoted in your sig.In post 843, NorwegianboyEE wrote:Amazing how you manage to how so many of my townreads in the bottom layer.

You'll figure it out.
