Don't understand this post (inferno there?) (what does the 2nd sentence mean?) (tw trolling as the wagon grows on them?)In post 108, Flubbernugget wrote:I think inferno flails by now if they're scum
I don't feel like entertaining elbrin's schtick as scum. Will entertain an inferno tunnel as scum.
I'll read the worst trolling as the wagon grows on them as town for now
I could understand a straight scumread but scumreading something like this too-town when I don't see how it'd come off towny makes me feel you read it knowing I'm townIn post 115, Skygazer wrote:Agreed. In my onion I think the first reaction test (elbirn) is fine but the second one (rask) a bit LAMIST especially considering he never really followed up on it other than his read on inferno.
VOTE: rask
saying I haven't really followed it up is kind of overly obtuse as well given the timeframe (very soon) but I also don't get it since even at that point I commented on davesz, inferno and maybe a bit on elbirn?
Profii hesitating on AI judgments as stated though claiming it's his style so ehhh unless contradicted. Ironically closest thing to a judgement is calling 255 out as political (non-committal) but also he's soft on how ai that is heh
Gustavo is kinda just wrong wrt self vote or d1 nl relating to wincon (though that's assuming a complete straight take on both and not RVS and whatnot other factors) but 164 reads as though he genuinely does believe in what he's saying. as opposed to scum pushing something they actually know is BS for an agenda, and also gustavo is easily new enough for that take to be plausible. logically right or logically wrong doesnt really mean much unless the agenda looks malicious-

What little I know from games I've read supports this as likely true (the he should get obvtown if town part, I think it's too soon to actually judge though) and my experience is most scum don't feel comfortable straight vouching for their partner like this even if duck turns out scum-

Huge tangents of twisted logic does read critical, though there admittedly there is the distinction of saying the logic is bad and making any AI judgment based on it.In post 196, MagnaofIllusion wrote:@Rask- why did you try to suggest my observation about Inferno was a criticism when it was an attempt to see if others would vouch for what looked like a deliberate play style and see who responded?
Questioning for meta is valid but the phrasing there read a bit exaggerated so I wondered if maybe part of that may have been asked to discredit or make him look bad.-

Dramonic posting strikes me as very cagey here
Has to go into more why the progression by inferno is fake given I don't think anyone else sees ingame agrees (gustavo having had problem with inferno on something entirely different)-

No I get that sometimes (difficulty to parse)
It was in referring to 328 but I remembered your spoiler posting on inferno
As a side note I probably should have joined a geriatric or something, have to get used to this pace here (also the number of names to keep track of)-

Tight lipped
Aside from on inferno I don't know much of what you're thinking this game (okay it's early)
and there I kinda want to know more of what your read is now after his exchange (I have to try to guess at your meaning in 222, I mean the implication is you don't like it)-

@Mod declaring VLA until saturday
Moving friday and have a ton of things I have to wrap up (have really awful tendancy to procrastinate doing necessary things as well so I feel as I kinda have to self impose this)

prodge
ultra super quick skim suggests sky isn't that big a deal
taly if I have to guess is scumread via the similar reason people actually didnt like him in the popularity contest where people thought his super happy tone was insincere and he was a fake person
flub I could see being scum, game complaints and frustration feel fake, talking about dave interaction reads super storytellingy and kind of a ridiculous narrative (stretch)
andrius eh kinda dont like him but huge catchup beyond what anyoned consider necessary realistically more likely town effort. somewhat too many "we'll see how this goes" things though kinda wishy washy
VOTE: flubb
isod just these from vc, gotta run but I also remember really liking inferno and brass here too if that helps
thankfully this deadline is enough ill be free monday tuesday to dive back into this-

Hitalt I'm wondering how specifically you come to the conclusion scum jumped on sky wagon with you if he's town
Can you explain exactly why and how exactly you'd learn from a sky lynch given afaik you said it's good even if that's the case?
Granted even if true 1 scum in a group of 3 people after a mislynch is still actually kind of awful (random is almost as good afaik) so I don't understand talking about it like it'd be potentially worth a mislynch to even get that information-

Taly if you have time, can you summarize the select few reads this game what you feel the most strongly about in one post with an under 200 word count and no quotes. It would help me a lot, I have ADHD or something.-

WRT the worst / hitalt their game (sharing) does back up why duck would respect hitalt, he lockscummed him super early on. dont see this kind of reaction-style bait play there though it seems more just straight up metaing and tonal
interestingly hitalt hasn't made a hard judgment on duck yet though but seems to scumread him via association?
Hitalt can you explain specifically why sky is probably scum btw?
Also maybe more on dramonic overall now though I did get you said you scumread 110-

ATM I think there's two very different games here depending on if flub is scum or town. Ideally sort him either way first though I'd rather do so first hand, vote on dave feels like a really big stretch with how he built up a very specific expectation for what davesz should've done there, and post to chickadee reads more pushing technicalities than a thought
From what I've read so far I'm not townreading any of Taly, HWS, xyzzy or chickadee (though her read on flub isn't SonS) here for what it's worth
Sky and andrius notably seemed to scumread flubber but joined the hitalt wagon which I'd want expanded on a bit. hitalt negative association with both plus to TW probably safe to call FTR
which reminds me TW I'm curious if you could go into your flub read a bit-

That's what I referring to, I saw that though it was early and he posted a lot since so I'd wonder if you have more thoughts since. I didn't like his tone earlier but his response seemed legit and his dave read seems like it had some thought? (granted I wasn't there to experience full context)In post 820, HitAlt wrote:

Such a basic thing to ask "then why aren't you voting?"
But it reveals, in fact, that dramonic didn't really read what was said, and went for the appearances instead.
I want to know why you are so strongly scumread sky and dramonic so I can judge for myself. If you have strong scumreads I think you should easily be able to go into a bit of detail as to why or make a convincing argument that isn't association based. Even if it's tonal you can go into those just a bit.-

@Flubber 2 things
547 can you explain how exactly that expectation on dave wrt your interaction makes sense?
Dave is an analytical guy -> dave agrees with my concern about naked votes -> if he was town he would and/or should start a discussion to try to change everyones voting habits here
Going from the first two to the latter is a huge leap for me, most people would agree it's protown but unless someone does it all the time idk how you can say the lack of it is really indicative
also when in context he essentially said he'd do it if he had time so doesn't seem realistic
548 I don't like because it's more like shading chickadee than giving a stance on her. What does 1 strike against her like actually even mean-

Also not a fan of this. It's not even saying lynching him is fine because even if town he's playing anti-town (a reasonable stance) it's saying lynching him is fine even if town because other people would keep getting their attention diverted (thought process doesnt read town)In post 866, Flubbernugget wrote:100% willing to compromise here towards deadline because even if they're town, lynching them devours scum of a nice slot to divert attention to them.-

Okay so they have tons of mistakes in their trajectory and you scumread them based on a mountain of evidence
How is it so hard to go into detailand make a convincing argument then?-

@MoI his play actually was really impressive in sharing is caring though, his reads were amazing, just he didn't work well with others.
he correctly scumread TW scum d1 and backed up really well but couldn't get him lynched, but even then compromise lynched other scum but then of course it looks like you tried to defend scum even if you were pushing another scum the whole time
What I don't get is there he still explained himself fairly well but here is more like a black box.-

Because it's less about him then and more about everyone else. It's less saying he'd be an okay lynch if town because he's playing antitown, not working with people or pushing scum agenda, and more like saying he'd be an okay lynch if town because so many OTHER people are paying him attention and scum are taking advantage of it. That'sIn post 885, Flubbernugget wrote:Can you detail the difference between the two? Diverting attention to yourself as town is anti town
a) more a concern you can do something about
b) seems justified as done for the sake of others and not so much to help you
and I feel like lynching someone because they're distracting people can be used to justify like any lazy lynch ever or lynching always the easiest consensus scumread.
Basically anyone who'd lynch partially on policy is still doing it primarily on scumread but then mostly because it would help themselves to have it cleared up and not deal with the play, the angle that it'd be like for the common good and protown as it'd help clear up other peoples reads feels more of a scum way of looking at the game.-

I do want taly to summarise his scumread (ideally in one post without quotes for readability)
He does sound like in 640 he was almost prepared to scumread you ahead of time for the dave vote which is kind of weird
though he's right in that your read on him is inconsistent with dave meta given you expect dave to be proactive given his lurk tendencies
if I have a concern with taly its actually how extremely self conscious he feels here rather than progression though-

His priority seemed to be questioning you there though, but even then he asked if you could be more specific and partially acknowledged your point
idk how agreeing there is some truth to it necessitates him @ing everyone to explain votes better as a public service announcement when he didn't seem to care half as much about it as you-

I kinda like flubber pursuing taly with some fire though there is a specific scumtype that enjoys arguing and 1v1 exchanges as scum I'd want to doublecheck. I really want taly to just make a post without any quotes in it and going in depth on his gamestate for a few sentences because tracking reads through his posts is actually pretty difficult
Flubber VS Taly and Hitalt as other leading but sort of a separate thing altogether is a really interesting and somewhat bizarro gamestate FTR given there's usually more connection between the two different things (hitalt and sky are almost isolated from most other game events)-

Mmm deadline's sooner than I thought
@Hitaltdo you have like any thoughts at all on like flub wagon today?
Also I really don't get it, how you see your scumreads being lynched if you don't even case them.
You're defending yourself but not really actually pushing or pressuring much, I'm not sure what you're reasonably expecting is going to happen as things are going or repeating you think x should be lynched will do anything-

Ok am I the only one still waiting for hitalt to like substantiate his uberstrong scumreads
I guess dramonic scum from early post and now pr thing
Skygazer scum still can't find anything why in the iso to that read
why is it so hard to go into some details or specifics here. I feel like it should be easiest thing in the worldbut once you turn that interrogation-style lamp towards their faces, they start to make more and more mistakes with their trajectory..
blows my mind people are even talking pretty much everything else about hitalt other than being interested in this (except for MoI I guess)
Hitalt are you missing all the prompts to do this or are just choosing not to?-

writing an extremely barebones one or two sentences why dram or sky is scum should literally take 1 minute if you feel that strongly on the read
the fact that it's like pulling teeth to get substance or specifics on your strongest reads when you keep speaking to there being a mountain of evidence and people should sheep you doesnt make any sense to me-

IDK what's going on this game
I feel like most people I townread earlier starting lurking and push on like gutreads and using loose associations
I need logic and cases and things I can follow
dramonic is like one of the few people I think I can actually somewhat follow why their voting
dramonic scumreads HA afaik because hit spent his time on like baseless speculation and self defense instead of having any substance to his scumreads and I think that's actually just true.
case against dramonic seems to be his judgments are too easy or exaggerated and so trying to put a scum agenda onto everything
small element I agree with is when dramonic says things like duck is gaining scumpoints it is easy to just say things like that. in context though duck defending hit based on their game isn't really right either though given hit was actually backing up his points and reads in that game
dramonic idk because since if the slots hes been going hard on are even partially scum hes actually been super protown and they're more or less what im looking at too. flipside if not the case I think he doesn't have to be doing what's he's doing putting himself out there either (unless cwing flub)-

VOTE: The worst
I think TW defending the fuck out of hitalt and glossing over literally everything there is bad regardless of hitalts alignment. though I have extra concern is TW potentially whiteknighting a hitalt town and duck feeling justified defending as such on the basis of knowing he's town and like dismissing hitalt scum and hitalt wagon out of hand.
I read that game they played and hitalt here really isnt very similar to hitalt there, hitalt there actually went into detail when pressed on his scumreads and made convincing meta+tonal arguments
when I read that game it did blindside me a bit how strong hitalt were there and I did think ok hitalt should get some space in 814, but getting back into this game its even more clear how much nothing hes doing here in comparison and if anything expectation should be higher (though it's tempting strong meta judgment on that 1 game sample size not necessarily reliable either though)
Also I feel like he's kinda complacent here. impression is he's pointing things out but not actually scumhunting-

I want at least stances out on that first (there's another thing) even if deadline makes me to compromise
The problem is calling it vanity before anyone else even responded dismisses the seriousness and makes it more ignorable
TBH as a sidepoint I don't even think game should even ever be locked into specific wagons as such unless literally <24h deadline and I actually don't feel that good about current gamestate (though partially because I was busy and missed most earlyday so I still don't feel a solid grasp yet)
though I'm not used to large normals where maybe it's different story and people can't (or maybe just don't) ever flashwagon anything near EOD-

Need VC about now, though gist of it looks like HA and dramonic are lead wagons and flub kind of third, potentially actually no longer viable with deadline.
I'd definitely lynch HA or flub over dramonic here FTR.
Reads like some of what dramonic is getting wagoned over is for saying hit was PR when he was actually talking about scum PR and people either read or don't care when pointed out (bad sign on any wagon imo)
Also from where I'm at dramonic's push on hitalt is more than justified but people are scumreading him for it. Unless it's more the format or how he does it but yeah.
I really don't like hitalt treating what his main interest should be in explaining into his scumreads likeas if it's work he has to do and has been putting off (I think town should want to do itand viewing it like a pain in the butt is more likely of a scum pov).
Rather his focus has almost entirely giving townreads in a reactive (logic around wagon on him) sense, going into them instead of scumreads and mostly appealing to not be lynched. Problem is I've seen this approach from scum trying to save themselves, it's more a super heavy diplomatic focus. I think town tend more to try to convince people of where their actually coming from or delineate their scum reads such that if they do get lynched you can tell people to follow or judge them on their own merit, less about survival and more about getting the points across for the greater wincon. Scumreading on like 948 suggests he isn't even paying attention to dramonic and reading his posts in context, if you do you can't walk away saying that's what dramonic actually said there, but then not commenting since that was pointed out either. A distinction is I can understand missing it from most people but hitalt should have read the exchange to give a hard scumread judgment based on it and should've followed it in general as something from his top scumreads. My feeling is hitalt just gave hard scumreads on sky and dramonicbut hasn't actually really been following what they've been doing this game any more than in the loosest sense possible.-

Impression is 1042 response to profii is saying it's bad, though maybe he was just talking in general
I actually townread you but I think hit's probably scum and dramonic sees similar as me
Actually have to go now so I can't really read ISOs but can you post what you think the "smoking gun" is on dramonic for you-
