Sorry my V/LA was inconvenient, it was for something that I do every single year, so...sorry not sorry? Also I have pneumonia and am tired of being called lynchbaity, bad, or a liability, so I'm done defending myself. Not gonna self-vote because it's a pussy move but if I die, Math will ride all your asses into the ground.

Town role cop. Planning on following maths plan if I live to N1.
Okay, I've been quite rude, but at the same time, you have to understand that deadline is right around the corner, and a good portion of the game is stalled waiting on said claim.

UNVOTE:

Rolecop is the optimal pick for town, you can get a few guilties and UB is swingy. I don't town clear it but we aren't lynching there.

This is to some extent true, and it is to some extent not true. I think I've explained both before so........... (Null)

C: "That's actually part of the reason I'm having trouble sorting him, usually when we play he is town and I'm convinced he's scum. The fact that he's acting towny gives me more pause than if I was certain he was scum." in response to The Worst's -->
Okay, here is some kind of read on mutant... (Null)

It wasn't necessary for you to repost this especially when you acknowledge Math already explained this. (Null)

I kinda expect you to be giving more in useful info by this point, but I'll wait to read the end of your catch up. (Null)

Was there really a need to comment on this a second time? (Null)

Okay. (Null)

C: "Ausuka's <post>568</post> is super waffly in terms of a read on Ircher. I've never seen someone flip-flop that much on one person in one post." -->
You still never answered about taking into account Ausuka's meta experience with me when you make this kind of read, so............ (Null-scum)

Don't extrapolate my post so fast; I am 99% sure that you extrapolated my post from being a response to someone's question to my read at that time on Math. I am 99% sure that I was clarifying an earlier read I had on Math there versus stating my current read on the slot. (Null)

It really would have been nice to actually tell us what says, but oh well... As to the latter part, that's fair. (Null)

F: "Weirdly defensive" in response to my -->
Honestly, it depends on how you read it. That said, it is evident that your bias towards me being scum makes you conclude that it is weirdly defensive first. I won't deny though that one could interpret the post that way; it just isn't the best way imo. (Null)

G: "Weird, the only other person in danger of being lynched today, besides me, prefers that I be the one to be lynched. CRAZY" -->
Okay, but how exactly is that crazy? This is confirmation bias showing... (Null)


13. --> Failed vote on me. -->
I think this vote is legitimate; however, I don't think it is a reasonable vote, at least not for the reasons that Lalendra has pointed out so far in their ISO. (Null-scum)


14. --> Correctly votes me -->
No comment; see above comment.


15. --> Asks the Worst why he "hates" Lalendra -->
.... (Null)


16. In :
A: "1) I already outlined all my reasons in my catch-up posts. 2) I also addressed this, but since more has happened, I'll say this: I'm not understanding ducky's tunneling on me, most of the other votes were because of lack of activity (NAI) and tone (my tone is inconsistent af, it depends entirely on my mood and not at all on my alignment). It's horseshit. 3) I'll post a readslist after this." in response to Taly's three questions in (Ircher scumread, Lalendra wagon thoughts, and a reads list) -->
I don't remember, though I may be wrong, anyone originally scumreading Lalendra for tone-related reasons. (Null)

Good clarification. (Null)

C: "I wasn't saying that neutral and null meant the same thing in your readslist, I understand that they don't. I'm saying I don't understand the need to separate them. In that it seems nitpicky. Essentially yes, I understand the system you're using, I just don't agree with it. We're saying the same thing." in response to my -->
Okay, first of all, you are using this as a reason to scumread me if I am reading correctly. Second, even if you didn't explicitly state such, you consider them on a semantic level to be the same, which is not the case as I explained. Third, this is hardly an acknowledgement or an understanding of the system being used. And no, you are not saying the same thing, not even close. (Null-scum)

D: "You may want to start at least considering an AU in which you believe I'm town and exploring how that would inform your gameplay because if I flip, you're going to need to start somewhere." in response to The Worst's -->
Typical appeal to emotion. (Null)


17. --> Complains about Math's assessment of Lalendra in -->
Okay..... (Null)


18. --> "And yeah, the self-meta in my sig is something that would help me as scum. But since I never roll scum (which sucks because I love it) it's mostly just there to say 'anything you're thinking about me based on my tone, interactions, reads, or anything else is less likely because I'm scum and more likely because you don't like my playstyle.'" -->
Okay, if due to your playstyle, you cannot be read based on your tone, on your interactions, or on your reads, how are we supposed to read you :question: Like, this is a non-defense.
(Neutral-scum)


19. --> Says that wasn't very serious in response to Math's -->
Besides the discrepancy in tone and interpretation (which I think is important, but I'll give Lalendra a pass on that), how exactly can a post like that be not serious? You seemed pretty serious then. Also, I think the town response here would be "yes" or "yes, but....." rather than an attempt to deemphasize the post. Like, I highly doubt anyone would be more inclined to lynch you if the post was serious especially if you stated it was.
(Scum)


20. --> Asks how she is playing a nullgame in response to The Worst's -->
I'm not going to comment on this. (Null)


21. --> Response to -->
You seem to understand it better now, so good. (Null)


22. --> "Because my humor is very sarcastic and when I say something harsh, 98% of the time it's in jest." in response to my -->
I'm not convinced. Also, is there a particular need to separate and considering they reference the same post? (Null-scum)


23. --> "Nope" in response to -->
.... (Null)


24. --> "Nope" in response to -->
.... (Null)


25. --> "Still nope" in response to -->
There really wasn't a need to respond three times to what was basically trolling. (Null)


26. --> Quotes their Ircher read in response to Davesaz's -->
Yeah, this case isn't really that great.... It has some merit, but very little. (Null)


27. --> Reads list -->
1) How does davesaz move your read from null to townlean? 2) How is Myloninja anything but a null read? If I assume your reads list is ordered, I would expect Mylo to at least be at the bottom of the townlean section (Null-scum)


28. --> "I'm sorry, I just really don't have the energy right now to go through and highlight things. If I say "I agree with everything this person said," then what that person said are my reasons in that post. I don't really know what else you want.I'm not trying to be grumpy I just really don't feel well so maybe I'll just come back to the thread when I'm in a better spot." -->
Okay. (Null)


29. --> Frustrated because feels lynch isn't justified -->
Okay. (Null)


30. --> Asks "whose alignments" in response to Eddie's -->
I can't tell what Eddie was asking based on the snippet provided in Lalendra's post, so...... (Null)


31. --> Says they have no meta experience with Ausuka in response to -->
Not at all what I was referring to... (Null-scum)


32. --> Lols at Mutant and says will respond to Taly's question when not on a phone -->
Null.


33. --> "I have much less scum experience so I tend to be pretty aggressive and tunnel on people moreso than I do as town." in response to Eddie's -->
If I'm reading this correctly (and if you wrote this correctly), I'm actually more convinced you are scum due to your tunnel on Ausuka and I and how aggressive your posts have been in general. Just sayin'. (Null-scum)


34. --> Response to Taly's -->
I'm not going to bother going through this... (Null)


35. --> "...You're making reads without remembering why? And just coasting on that instead of taking new information into account?" in response to Lovebird's -->
Blatant misrepresentation of Lovebird's post; notice that Lovebird DIDN'T cross out Janitor/Myloninja BECAUSE they couldn't remember why they were town. The list is obviously who they think is scum.
(Neutral-scum)


36. --> "The thing people seem to keep forgetting when harping on my fluffposting is that we were still within hours of the game starting. It exploded over the weekend and I did my best to catch up and contribute meaningful content at that point." in response to -->
Okay, but what about The Worst's other points? You seem to have a habit of having selective hearing this game tbqh... (Null-scum)


37. --> Response to The Worst's -->
Okay. (Null)


38. --> Switches to Lovebird because Ircher wagon isn't going anywhere and "not a fan of Lovebird's recent posting at all" -->
You only comment once on Lovebird's recent posts, and it wasn't even a fair representation of Lovebird's post. (Null-scum)


39. --> "Yes, let's cast anti-town votes just to exchange information. Ugh, this town deserves to lose." -->
Question: Are you being serious here?
(Serious question.) (Null)


40. --> Asks if the group wants them to claim -->
Yes. It would've been better if you didn't wait until your V/LA to ask. (Null)


41. --> Asks not to be lynched while V/LA -->
When deadline is this close and you are one of the top lynch candidates, it really isn't fair to ask for this. I mean, I understand why, but it isn't fair to everyone else. (Null)


Conclusion:
Absolutely none of this ISO reads as town. On the other hand, quite a few things stand out as scum-motivated imo, and barring that, I still think that this is the best case we have at the moment.

We aren't no lynching................

I'll hammer Lalen over a no lynch. Their content wasn't "scummy" to begin with, and they claimed one of the best PRs, so I don't want a lynch that's 40% (generous - only cause of the amount of obvtowns) likely to hit scum and 60% likely to mislynch a strong PR.

Ircher, can you trim that down to the points towards scum? I haven't read most of the last few pages in depth.

like i've said before, i'm completely fine with lovebird dying on ausuka's townflip

but the fact that lovebird can't be scum with ausuka is a major point against lovebird
