I called it out because we are in a 7p game and did not want someone to accihammer.
I guess I like some early pressure. Although not sure if the pressure is real since at least 2 of the votes (including mine) were RVS.
Penguin, why did you wait to answer bill? I might not have been online and you would have waited for quite a while.
(Also, especially early on, I find it easier to make content when I have something directed at me to respond to, or something I can actively pursue ((which is not that common)). This happens with any alignment.). I have no replacement.Retired Account

Uh, when I "called Penguin out" on the L-1, I never meant to imply that Idisagreedwith it, but more that I wanted toemphasizethe reality of it.

For the record, at this point while I do have a slight scum lean on Inferno, I am not willing to vote there. Or really anyone else at this time.
UNVOTE:
(Is anyone here paranoid that any lynch or night action could result in something ridiculous and unexpected happening? Like a "boomerang" or "2x forced vengeful" ability? I hope not, because I know better than to waste my time worrying about such things.)

Also, feel free to point out any fallacies in my posts instead of making a sweeping statement. Hard to respond to those, and I don't think that I have made any fallacious statements.alsopossible for them to fake it.
Second, most of the fallacies were about how you handled me stating in an informative way that someone was at L-1.
When I made that list, you had only made a few posts, and they were almost all filler. I realize that "Lurking is anti-town, but not scummy" seemed more like an accusation than the intent which was to just inform.In post 104, bill1148 wrote:

Oh yeah, and in complicated day 1s, I prefer to make daily big posts than 6 tiny posts per day. (It becomes the opposite when down to 3-5 players with not much going on.)

horror/bill - One of these is scum, one of these is town, I'm not sure which, but I'm confident in the fact they can't both be town, null.
Inferno - Town by default, like his tone. Slight Town.
Alonzo - Guttown, not a strongread. Slight Town.
At the time, I liked the L-1 just because it might cause a little bit of pressure even though I knew well that two of the three votes were random. As far as I can tell, it did generate content, although not completely what I expected.it's still a callout nonetheless
but if youre so cautious you could unvote yourself rather than just sticking to it and notifying everyone about it being l-1 which is as if you intended for him to look scummy because of it.. I have no replacement.Retired Account

I assume "reading articles and swatting up" is meant in a non-AI way? Because I did decide to change my strategy a bit. I know they always say that you have to play to win this game and not try to build a meta for future games. However, I decided to try to doIn post 150, Alonzo wrote:I want to say something about 2.718 and our previous game together but I'm having trouble articulating what I mean without giving a really wishy washy read.
TheTLDR is E! iwasn't the easiest townread, And posts like oh look this wagon is L1 just seems so E! Without wanting to put him down his style is quite 'clumsy' from my experience.
Now theres this new 'scum dial' he devised and I dont think E! from last game uses the term 'fallacy', which suggests to me he's been on the wiki reading articles and swatting up.both: building a new meta (I hated the old one... 1876 was a total scum failure) while also playing to win the current games.
Well, at least you care to admit it.Im not however gonna give a read on how he flips here, because I really dont know.

Alonzo: From what I could tell, it seemed like if Inferno were somehow innocent, then bill would be scum. So I looked at both and thought about who was more scummy, and it came out as Inferno. So I voted for Inferno. This should be a better pressure wagon than the "pressure wagon" on MafMen.

All right, the reason I only gave 2 ISO reads is that I thought that Inferno was scum but I wanted to read bill because bill seemed like the one to be scum if Inferno was not, given their interactions.

OK, let me start withAlonzo, who is both first alphabetically and the one who most seems to be requesting a scan.

This all looks kind of scummy to me. But then look at this:In post 214, UC Voyager wrote:okay...
I dont have any strong opinions on what i read, but i didn't really take my time, so i might go through again
i do want to look more into these past 3 pages. and i want to iso a few people, and try to make an opinion.
everyone? what are you current stances on the game. because im a bit behind, any opinions that are up to date are better than me looking at your opinions from several pages ago.
This looks nice and townish, although the only thing I do not like is that you see "nothing that resembles scum or town hunting". I have done a fair amount of that and I have definitely helped progress the game. Your first sentence, to be frank, is mostly bunk. Remember that argument with Penguin?In post 218, UC Voyager wrote:2 718's posts are very interesting. he created this rating system to describe how scummy people are. other than that, i see nothing that resembles scum or town hunting. All together, there isnt much he has done that has helped progress the game.
I really like what im seeing from horror. his post show good opinions, as well as him trying to scum hunt and he is doing a good job of explaining his ideas, and is not vague.
Alonzo's posts all seem very short, but i dont know weather to think its bad or good. it is kind of dull, but still. id like to see some more of your thoughts.
And yeah, scum hunting like the way you suggest in 226 is very difficult in a 7-player game when you are busy, several people are getting replaced, and you are in disputes with the players.

I am lost, busy, and unsure who to read next. I think all my reads are out of date, so that means I will have 6 people to read.
This might take until Friday or Saturday. The reason I have not been scum hunting is that for me the thing that works best is to make one post per day that goes off of everything that happened since the previous day. I have a lot less time than before to use the site. Scum hunting the way that a few have suggested sort of does not work because it involves engaging people in back-and-forth dialogue, which right now is hard when I also have to look at everything else going on..

VOTE: Rob14
1. Rob replaced Inferno, who I already thought was scummy.
2. Post 292 was bunk. Penguin's pushes on me were very town even if I do not agree with their result. Alonzo asking me to read his slot is town because if I were scum and had horrible reasoning, it would backfire a lot.
3. You have no reasons other than PoE to town read me, UCV, bill, and horrordude. In that case, why do you have some of us more town than others? You never really said this.
4. I just do not like Rob14's posts on page 13. Minor details like saying post 198 is "almost immediately afterwards" to post 176 do not help the case at all.

OK this is confusing. Did someone claim or am I misreading post 339?
I disagree about bill making no townish posts at all. (Although not saying I think bill is town, especially in light of351...)
I think the votes are
Me (3): PP, HD, Bill
Rob (2): Me, Alonzo
PenguinPower (1): Rob
Bill (1): UC Voyager

OK, so, after much waiting, I think I have the time and energy to give a read on everyone. But first let me address some things.
351 was not myonlyreason for adding bill to the scum list, but why is it that someone accuses bill of being completely anti-town and all bill responds with is a weird face?
Oh yeah, and I understand where you are coming from with the play-by-play of the scale. For these reads I will only give out my score at the very end.. I have no replacement.Retired Account

(Let me start by saying that this is my 4th game and I have a 0-3 record. And also that I recently got insanely busy so posting 3-7 times per day like I used to do is only an option on weekends.)
Let's start withAlonzo. Much of the early game is fluff. From 130 to (with the exception of 150 and 181),
Not sure what to make of 193... seems like it could be either scum thinking a (mis)lynch will happen soon, or just generic NAI excitement.
Alonzo also promised to share detailed stances "soon" as of Tuesday, and AFAICT they either never came or were so interspersed in Alonzo's 51 tiny posts (1-2 sentences usually) that I could not find them.
I feel like "It's my Town meta!!" is more of a defense that is designed to make it difficult to refute. And of course if you know your town meta then you can try to play to it as scum.
So I think Alonzo is a scum lean. Nothing really jumps out to move him below a.3
Moving on to Bill. Bill's early game seems a little bit like town, but recently that has dropped considerably. I cannot get past how Bill was accused of doing nothing to the town and responded with a face. I would think that a town player would try to show why the claim is wrong. However, in some sense, bill feels a bit like how I was in Newbie 1877 on day 3. I was town there and annoyed with how everything was happening so close to the deadline and we ended up mislynching a person (Crimson97) who I never really thought was that scummy. I got mislynched day 4 for a lot of the stuff I did in late day 3.
I just realized that connection which makes me re-think the Bill lynch. I am putting Bill at afor now. If Bill is scum I think I want to wait for day 2 to lynch him.4
Next on the list is horrordude. Horrordude has been consistently trying to analyze the situation, crack open tough nuts, and get reactions out of people. I would have to give them a solidfor this performance.6.5
Halfway there... now for Inferno + Rob14. I think we can all agree that 34 and 40 were terrible, and 84's appeal to lack of skill is useless. OK, ok, early game was terrible. Let's just bypass 105's unsubstantiated reads and 139's resignation...
OK, you know I cannot seriously overlook a bunch of low-quality posts. At this point Inferno replaced out and in came Rob. How does Rob say someone (i.e. me) is "solid town" and that it "would take a cop result" in the first four pages? (I mean, personally, this reads as a scum trying to tie himself to a townie to make them both suspicious.)
I also hate how Rob puts so much blame on PenguinPower (who, incidentally, before reading PP's ISO I would say PP is in the 4-5 range from what I remember), and has made several anti-analysis and anti-questioning posts in 292.
Oh yeah, and Rob, you contradicted yourself. If I am solid town, how are Bill and UCV more townish than I am? (293).
358 next to cements this. I have to give out a score offor this slot, and I really hate how mafBlack uses the awful #FF6262 for red when I want a deep red for this, like #EE2222.1
I am going to just post this now so I do not lose it, and then get to the other two.. I have no replacement.Retired Account

All right, now for MafMen + UC Voyager.
Well, just UCV. MafMen did some stuff but it all just confuses me. Yeah, MM did the townread on me that flipped to a scum read without any real explanation, but MM did comparably few posts before the replace out that I kind of just want to pretend those posts do not exist.
I have figured out what UCV means about me not scum hunting, so now I think that post may be more town. His aggressive attitude seems like a townie who is naturally aggressive, although one thing that holds me back here is that UCV has accused bill very harshly and has no real evidence. So I think I want to give UCV a, although I could be persuaded to make this higher.4.5
PenguinPower seems like another aggressive townie early on. The entire game PP seems to want to get information while debunking posts that he thinks are false. (Evidence: 296 and especially 298)
I also like the way that he brought up Alonzo not giving out the reads that he mentioned on Tuesday. Like with horrordude, not that muchin particularjumps out, other than what I mentioned. However the town play is weaker (there are lots of small NAI posts mixed in) so I think I give this player a.5.5

Moving Forward...
I would like everyone to answer the following questions.- Who is your biggest scum read, and why? (For me: Rob14, reasons given in post 403.)
- Should we try to get one more L-1 pressure read, or just lynch someone? (I think the former because town is still not that coordinated)
- How confident are you in the town winning if there happen to be two scum and five town?
(P-Edit 2: Rob, OK, I understand that now, but your slot has played scummy the whole game, and while I can now move you to a, you have not changed my overall view of you.)1.5
(Final P-Edit (408): No. Penguin is too townish for that.). I have no replacement.Retired Account

In no particular order:
1. I asked the questions because I realized that I needed to start being proactive and try to ask for information and not just sit back and let everyone else do all the questioning.
2. Disproving a case on yourself is NAI but thewaythat PP was doing it struck me as town.
3. Saying it isonlyfor pressuredoesremove all pressure. Saying that pressure ispartof a greater reason (i.e. that you actually think the person has a decent chance of being scum, and is a worthwhile lynch target if they do not respond) doesnotremove the pressure..

I disagree. Someone could hammer me 5 minutes from now, or 5 minutes from the deadline. Or we might lynch you, or bill.

I would only vote for you if there were no other options. I would not say "but I know I'm town so blah blah blah"; I would instead say something like "but evidently people think Bill is scum so let's just see." It would remind me of Newbie 1877, when the town had decided not to lynch UglyDuck (who I had thought was scum for a while) until day 4, and we ended up lynching Crimson, who flipped town.2.718 is almost certainly going to end up voting for me, either later today or sometime tomorrow. He'll probably say something along the lines of "I don't feel good about this, a Rob lynch would be better, but I know I'm town so blah blah blah."
Hold it, it seems like you are implying that Rob could force someone on your wagon to switch to me?Rob is in a more precarious position, since he has called me the most pro-town player here. He'll do one of three things (in order of likelihood)
a) Not vote for me or 2.718, instead forcing someone on either my wagon or 2.718's wagon to switch. Then after my ass flips town, he (and 2.718, for that matter) will go around pimping about how they "knew Bill was town/had a feeling he wasn't scum" for some easy town-cred
Also, if you get lynched, I would have already expressed reservations about your lynchlong beforeyou end up getting lynched, so anyone saying that I was doing it for "easy town-cred" would be misleading.
Wait. Are you trying to imply that I am Rob's scum-buddy, or not? (Genuine question.)b) hammer his scum-buddy to earn some town cred
How would it be a distancing project? I do not see what you mean.c) hammer me
Alonzo still has a decent chance of flipping scum imo, but the entire last page between the other two almost felt like a forced distancing project.

Alright, so explain then. You based a lot of your Penguin read on the fact they "want to get information while debunking posts that he thinks are false". Now you're saying your two examples of that aren't alignment indicative based on the debunking but based on something else. I don't see that as consistent.In post 413, 2 718281828459 wrote:2.

I meant that debunking readsin and of itselfis NAI, but because of the particular manner that Penguin did it, gave him town credits.
He used facts and showed the motivation for town to do what he did (like asking questions). What he didnotdo is non-constructively attack the arguments without creating his own arguments.
That all gave me an intuitive sense of town-ness that is a little bit difficult to put into words.. I have no replacement.Retired Account

Gah, I meant "The entire game" to only apply to "want to get information".

When I said "there are lots of NAI posts mixed in", I meant that horrordude was constantly pro-town on almost every post while you (PenguinPower) made a lot of fluff posts that make the read less strong.. I have no replacement.Retired Account

No, because I received more than one suggestion that I had not done any scum hunting.PenguinPower wrote:Because you realized you were about to be lynched?
I want to understand how they are "not convincing". I am not trying to come to a "conclusion"; I am merely trying to defend a read that I admitted when I gave it that I was uncertain.Rob14 wrote:I don't find his responses to my questions convincing. It reads as trying to come to the conclusion of town!Penguin so he can keep up his tunnel on me, the only other viable wagon for today.
Even then, youmayhave persuaded me to change PP to a 4 but I saw nothing in that ISO that would specifically make me think PP isscum.
I think that you are probably hoping to score a mislynch on me. If anything, it is your arguments that are "not convincing".
You never stated a deadline for when you intend to hammer. I know I am biased but to me it seems like you are going to hammer no matter what and are just letting me squirm a while before finding a "reason" to cast the deciding vote.. I have no replacement.Retired Account

You know what, the line

I did not want to have to say this, butIn post 440, Rob14 wrote:^ Yeah, that. I'm waiting to see if your claim indicates I should be looking elsewhere.I am a 1-Shot Bulletproof Townie.
Then you would have secured your doom. What I suspected is that you want to mislynch me but make it appear that it would be justified so you may actually survive.I know this is going to be unconvincing, but I'm going to say it anyway. I know I'm getting lynched this game, because I replaced into a really scummy slot and Penguin has y'all wrapped around his little finger. If I wanted to just score a mislynch, I would have lolhammered as soon as you were L-1 to deprive the town of further useful information, such as relational tells between me and others.
OK, although what if you are, say, a Serial Killer or the game is 6v1?It would have helped whomever my scum buddy was for me to do so, and since I'm almost certainly getting lynched tomorrow anyway barring a cop innocent on me or a cop guilty on someone else, that would be the best I could really hope to accomplish.
Multiple?As for "not convincing", you either completely botched it when you typed your read of Penguin, with multiple cases of saying things you didn't mean
Again, I might be persuaded to move Penguin to a null read but I definitely cannot go below that., or I caught you trying to justify a town read on Penguin without the basis for doing so.
Maybe next time you should try spending more than an hour trying to read six people, and see how many mistakes you make in the 6th read when you are sort of worn out. And make sure that 6th read is someone who is not the easiest to read in the first place.I think the latter is substantially more likely, since you've been generally articulate this game. I just flat-out don't believe #430,
Back-tracking is a little strong.and when I add the other instances of you back-tracking on that read in #425, it doesn't look great.
Acknowledged.By the way, Penguin, the fact you're still claiming I'm tunneling you is getting weird. I had a scum-read on Alonzo since my catch-up. I've been questioning 2.7 the past two pages. Clearly, I'm not only looking at you.
Also, I just want to note that a 2.7 scum flipdoes not clear Penguin. Absolutely not. Scum!Penguin's vote on Scum!2.7 when it looked like my slot would be mislynched would make a lot of sense, since it distances from their scum partner with minimal risk. No-one was scum-reading 2.7 at the time (that I can recall - correct me if wrong), and Penguin didn't initially provide any reasons, so they can't expect others to suddenly form a wagon. When Penguin did eventually provide reasons for shifting from Inferno (198), they minimized them by noting counter-wagons often don't form in micros and that they're still fine with an Inferno lynch. They still, at that point, did not provide specific reasons 2.7 is scummy. In fact, looking through his ISO, I don't see a case on 2.7 from Penguin ever? Unless I'm missing it.
I'll dig into meta on Alonzo during the night; I think I badly misread him because his posting style is quite different. If he posts like he does here in other town games, he's probably null from me.. I have no replacement.Retired Account

What are you talking about?
I know we have little time but I would like to try to get an extension.
Keep in mind that due to plurality lynch I am currently the target, so hey anyone who for some reason wants me dead, no need to actually hammer because we can just wait it out.. I have no replacement.Retired Account

Yeah, that question surprises me as well. To me, it seems like Rob finally is going to lynch me but first wants to know my "flavor name".
I wish that someone could get prodded and replaced so we would have a chance to actually think this through rather than either no-lynch or rush-lynch a townie (i.e. myself).
I never wanted to have to claim my role because I was hoping that scum would try to shoot me later and have it fail.

Seriously though, like you seemingly completely ignore the conversation and ask a flavor question sight before the deadline. That sounds like someone who just wants to get a lynch in and wants the flavor name to not die with me.
Rob, I will reconsider if you can give a credible reason why a legit scumhunter would want to do as you just did in 446.. I have no replacement.Retired Account
