My points aren't an attack on how you approach the game, except to the extent that your play here is underwhelming compared with your town play. These are the facts:
1. You pushed Penguin over Shepard on D2 for reasons that don't make a lot of sense to me. Given two wagons, one on town, the other on scum, I think scum are more likely to push the mislynch over a lynch on their partner. I gave you an opportunity to explain your reasoning more in-depth to help me understand your thought process, but instead you're attacking my questioning.
2. You went from townreading Shepard to scumreading Shepard on D3 but you don't know why. I think scum are more likely than town to say something like this because townies usually have a reason for changing their reads, whereas scum often change them as part of an agenda they can't openly talk about.
3. You suspected Shepard throughout D3 but when other options presented themselves (e.g. Maria) you immediately jumped on those instead, which makes me think you didn't actually want to lynch Shepard.
4. Your play has been underwhelming compared to your town play, which you admit.
5. The rankings suggest that Guac's town if you're town, so there's a strong reason to lynch you before Guac. The evidence also suggests that Guac's scum via behaviors, which adds more reason to lynch you via assocations.
6. There aren't any negative associations between you and Fire/Shepard, so there's no reason to clear you on that basis. There's also no clear evidence of town anywhere in your posting. I've asked you for that evidence because maybe I'm missing something, but you haven't pointed to anything.
That's the facts. Yes, I'm interpreting these facts as scummy, but I don't think that means I'm attacking how you approach the game, it means I'm analyzing probability of alignment based on your behaviors. If you're town, you know that I'm wrong, but I don't know that, so from my perspective, this isn't an attack on your approach and just vaguely saying that without actually addressing what I'm saying isn't helpful to sorting you.
