1)How, as Town, would you have 100% certainty of someone's alignment? That tunnel-vision is much more dangerous than you think.
2)Nobody should willingly be lynched; but what's the purpose of stating that here? Are you looking to be a martyr for your case againstDoomfeathers?
If you're truly town and doing this, don't. Because you can't be this certain without more information that isn't generated in D1. (Because no flips,
therefore, minimal analysis and theories on someone's alignment.)
This is why dichotomies, mostly early-game, usually serve to divide the playerlist later in the game and makes scumhunting difficult.

The point is to assert I amtoo damn certainof it.
If you're truly town and doing this, don't.
You're not in a position to tell what I do/don't. You're not my WIFE!

There's this thing we refer to asperception. Some have it and some don't.

Listen. I've given you what I've got. Either lynch doom, lynch me, or do your own thing.

As far as I can tell the case is that Doom was associated (if only in the mind of A50) with Creature, and A50 was scumreading Creature at the time. I see no sign of an independent case on Doom. A50 even started to retract his read on Doom inIn post 276, Taly wrote:3)Your case onDoomfeathersis understated. I cannot "follow you" if I don't know why you're pushing someone.

Shadpearl actually voted Almost50 after Paradox did. Creature and I were the other votes on Almost50 at the time.In post 167, Taly wrote:[to Paradox]
4)Right after my post in votingDoomfeathers, you jumped onAlmost50'swagon without anything but associative-speculation. 139
- By doing this, you detract from my reads and information. You're also distancing yourself by going on another wagon that others have followed on. 133 and 142
It was a two-line FOS. While I agree that Paradox is scummy, aren't you overreacting a bit? It looked like an honest mistake to me.5)If you agree withAlmost50being scum, why are you trying to incriminate me by misconstruing my reads?

This is arguably more likely to come from town than from scum. +townpoints for Lalendra.In post 173, Lalendra wrote:
I didn't feel the need to comment, I did think that the amount of effort you're putting in leads me to believe you are likely town. Obviously I disagree with your read on me, but I'm consistently scumread as town so it wasn't surprising and I didn't feel the need to argue. Either my play will change your mind, or it won't.

Thanks for the clarification; I misunderstood that at first glance as well.In post 175, Creature wrote:I responded NAI to "Taly voting doom over A50". My TGP vote is unrelated to this response.

That's a typical Aneninen-tell. I wonder why it's not mentioned on the Wiki yet.
Lalendra misread something. It's been explained.

How not?
Aren't you supposed to point out how it's likely Paradox is right rather than saying there's a possibility? There's always a possibility anybody is right. And even if he was right wouldn't mean he wasn't scum. That logic just doesn't work. I don't think you're scum, but you're definitely trying my read.
What if Paradox was right?In post 158, Kopherald wrote:I've decided I don't need a response.

This looks like his scum game to me. I've seen it before.

Answer: Kopherald might be scum with any of those.
That's likely.Texcat's play is different to her townplay.
Care to maybe give us a reason why?In post 168, Ausuka wrote:VOTE: TheGoldenParadox
This wagon has more momentum than Shadpearl and 139 is still really, really, really, bad.I know I like nothing in this game but I don't like this either.

But right now I think any of these players could be scum: Almost50, Shadpearl, Lalendra, Doomfeathers, Texcat, Kopherald, Creature.
It was an excellent question, but why are you asking whether it's good? Are you worried about stepping on someone's toes or something? Caution ill-befits a townie.In post 183, Shadpearl wrote:Sorry if this is a bad question. >~>
My thoughts exactly. I think Sando's town.In post 187, Sando wrote:Taly's 167 strikes me as a massive over-reaction to a poor post, hits me as a very (frustrated) townie reaction but it makes me worry about the reads a bit.
Not my thoughts exactly. Accusations don't have to be false to be scummy; it's very possible to think a read is scummy without disproving it. I've done it as town. The FOS is NAI (though I still lean Paradox scum for other things).It's a good point though that Taly puts Doom+A50 as his top reads and cops a FOS from Paradox in return that attempts to derail without actually dealing with any of the accusations against those 2.
Oh, so that's what that meant. Thanks for the explanation. You kind of picked a roundabout way of saying it, though, especially since your metaphor implies Kopherald trusting you not to be scum.In post 191, Almost50 wrote:
Why would he even need to read the first page when I said FIGURATIVELY, OF COURSE.

It's so obvious that anyone should have said "No, I wouldn't believe that, because I can read." (Pigeonman, please read the first post of this game.)

Reading post 193, Sando is town. That is all.
(Though I still disagree with you on Lalendra, partially because I think she actually misread rather than lying. Also I give Shadpearl a town lean.)
That's no fun.

hang on, can Almost summarise his case on Doom right now, initially in 113 he said it was based on clear associatives between doom/creature, however in 260 he says creature can be town for now.
I'm a bit lost, so if Almost50 could just go over why Creature is now town and why his doom case still stands, it would help me greatly.-

Taly vs. Sando is totally town vs. town and also pretty exhausting to read.
You've still got mine.In post 208, Creature wrote:Based on my re-review, I'm actually losing townreads.
Do you want some gifs to cheer you up or something?In post 212, TheGoldenParadox wrote:
i'm lurking here b/c i'm not enjoying this game at all and i'm quickly losing motivation to play.In post 205, Creature wrote:I need some inspiration to play this game.
There are way too many scummy players.
Shadpearl wallposts in 215. Good. I think he'll be an asset to the game. This post scores townpoints.
Analysis and responses:
Explanation of play: Townie if newbie, scummy otherwise. (And I think he counts for newbie for the purposes of this site.)
Read on Creature: You'll see several lurking players in pretty much every game. The difference between a scummy lurker and a townish lurker is content and helpfulness. It took me a while to figure that out.
"The first round isn't supposed to last ages so sure! Good enough for me!": Normally I'd disagree, but this is starting to drag on. If enough players lose interest, I think we should hammer someone and get the game going again. Disinterested players are VERY hard to tell from scum.
Questions to Taly about drawing fire: Posting your thoughts makes you easier to read, and thus works toward the Town win condition. As for getting shot, it doesn't really help anything to survive by playing poorly; scum are going to shoot town anyway. If enough people wear targets, scum won't be able to shoot them all. That's how I see it. Getting shot doesn't mean you lose; your victory is dependent on that of your team, so you can win while dead. If you get killed in the process of winning, that means you're playing well.
"Going with the flow": Don't bother. Scum determine the flow as often as not. Choose your own path and see who else is on it.
On me: That's fine, no problem. Got reads on me? (If you have posted them and I haven't found them yet, that counts.)
Pedit @texcat: So are you just not engaged or are you one of those cowardly slackers who skips the first round or two?
Going for lunch. Caught up to 216.-

Creature did a few things I'm not familiar of him doing as Scum (no need to elaborate here).
In short, I did a reread of the game and came up with a revamped read list (that I would still consider it anti-town to share in full), and doom happens to be the strongest SR on it.
