Taranaga name drops his scum partner’s name and two other viable wagons.
Does not go into detail or present his scum case on any of them.
In post 168, Toranaga wrote:do you think it's beneficial or necessary to talk about things that you clearly don't think are alignment indicative?
Taranaga asks this question to Volxen: it’s a very non-aggressive/rhetorical question you would ask your scum partner. I suspect it was soft-distancing.
In post 190, Toranaga wrote:keyser, idk man, I lost interest with this game cause nobody is playing it

half the slots are scummy so idek where to vote
I asked Taranaga why he still had not voted (despite expressing 3 names he would like to lynch). I did not believe he was being sincere here. The tone feels fake. The excuse weak.

Taranaga replaced into the game full of character and venom, but has suddenly lost the motivation and town initiative to put his money where his mouth is...? Smells like a scum who doesn’t want to put unnecessary pressure on his scum mate... and watch the current misslynch wagon thrive (this is serious tin foil hat territory now! Who is still reading?)

Taranaga has promised us content but not delivered (instead he appears more concerned with fronting a relaxed /friendly exterior).
In post 402, Toranaga wrote:VOTE: volxen

volxen made a lot of scumsplaining and description posts that added no leans and didn't help the game move forward. I think he has a bigger chance of being scum than sesq who is probably kind of... incoherent? regardless of what they rand.
I don’t like the timing of this. I feel like Taranaga could see the change of wind from Sesq to Volxen, so decided it was time to finally post his ‘case’ on Volxen and hop onto the wagon (I.e the golden ticket to town cred).
@Toranaga

Why did you town read me for this?

Why was it not scum-keyser shading you/ missrepping you?

Was I merely a dumb townie in your eyes?

Yes, that's what I've learnt recently, if you have a read air it. It doesn't matter if you're wrong. The road you take with that read will strengthen your understanding of that player on the long run. As long as you end up voting/lynching scum all is forgiven.

Not insulted mate. I've tried to be as transparent as possible (I know my wording is still not 100% site-friendly).

This game is about idiots and stubborn players coming together as a team. Leave emotion and your pride at the door.

I think all cases on me are quite terrible, but as far as irrelephant is concerned, I'd check d1 EOD where he was bugging volxen to not be in antispew and make reads as he was going down. I think irrelephant is close to spewed clear based off that already and I've seen no reasons to scumread him otherwise.

my irrelephant read is close to my read on everyone else but the worst. very good villagery sounding posting + spewed clear by scum. you, for instance, is kind of spewed clear by volxen using pushes on you to attack people with.

We’ve done well this game by lynching the players who don’t look like townies so I suggest we continue with that strategy :cool: :giggle:

Yeah, I think I had you and Irelephant scoring highest in ‘villagery sounding posts’ and tone too. It took you a while to get your head in the game though tbf, hence why I didn’t trust you D1.

Re-reading Volxen’s entrance... he loved defending me when I was being wrongfully attacked for asking that NAI game setup question. Plus, he spent way too much time talking about a null read (Game Burger).

Who replaced GameBurger....? :shifty:

Interesting. This reminds me of Dunnstral's suddent "scumread" of me last game day.
Others are interpreting this as "too unique to be scum" but I think I see it as just you going for the Reundo mislynch 'cause he's not around

This is the Worst’s dance.

He’ll do exactly what you expect and don’t expect in an over the top performance.

Strip away the music, and you’re left with a distancing attempt and healthy dose of WIFOM that he can fall back on.

Already said scum-Irrelephant has already won this game :P
But I think this is the same inquisitive soul that I played with in my last game. He’s had his nose and fingers in every pie this game. Not in a scummy/opportunistic way, but in a global scum hunting style. Plus, he’s had so many chances to misslynch my ass this game it’s not funny. Nauci-Irrephant would have powered through any lynch if they stood together.
Aw thanks, this would be a medium good scum game for me (in terms of deepwolfing, not losing my partners obv)
Instead this is turning out to be one of my fav town games

People who hard town read Keyser: what's the thing that has you most convinced he's town?
Well I know you keep referencing American Pres as a reason to scumread him
But I had the unique experience of sharing dual townclear with him for two (three?) day phases. It was really fun being this conftown team, and it feels exactly the same working alongside him to figure this game out
It also forced me to reevaluate all my reasons for scumreading him and realize most of them belonged to a town meta I didn't intuitively understand, which is what you seem to be coming up against
But I agree Keyser should be in the PoE at this point
In post 1682, northsidegal wrote:anyways, i would be surprised if this game wasn't won by lynching toranaga, the worst and eragon (maybe in that order)
Mmmmm I don't want to lynch Toranaga ever I think
Look again at how he moved wagon movement to volxen D1
Look at the time stamps
He chose volxen's lynch 100%, and not as a team with tw trying to lose their weakest member (like I tinfoiled awhile back)
Eragon can be in your PoE I guess :?
In post 1706, Nauci wrote:I guess I can't 100% rule out irrelephant or toranaga

but I 100% rule out nsg/reundo/eragon/myself

P.S. Sorry Toranaga for being illiterate and thinking your name was Toranga for days
This is a good set of people to rule out, and I don't even mind you're including yourself
In post 1713, Nauci wrote:I'm going to take a hard look at Reundo but I'd like to request that everyone currently townreading him re-evaluate Keyser. Can you put into words why you feel Keyser is definitely town? I can put into words why I town read all of the people I town read, but I feel like the town reads on Keyser are sort of coasting on the fact that he's posting with high effort, without seeing the pacing and narrative of his moves and considering the possibility that he's scum here.

I'm also going to re-evaluate Irrelephant, but my gut says that he would have done more to prevent his partners from getting lynched because this is a difficult game to deepwolf.
Yeah Keyser has done more than post a lot, he's sorted a lot
He prevented the viable Sesq lynch D1
He kept two wagons alive D2 for maximum readability of the playerlist
I just see him doing pro town stuff at every turn
He's made his scumteam's wincon harder over and over when he could have just not
But I see your case on him and how as scum he hard defends teammates (like he sorta did with Dunn) and I take it into consideration to keep him in my PoE

I would have probably been lynched today if I hadn’t changed my mind on Eragon. That was two viable misslynches he could work with.

@TW
Reading Reundo’s short ISO, to see scum there I would need to believe the following narrative:
D1: Reundo plays the optimal distancing game (dunks Volxen with acute focus)
D2: Reundo plays the perfect anti-distancing game (doesn’t really dig the Dunnstral lynch, instead spends time building counter wagons)

?
Too perfect for me, sorry.

So, maybe not Irrelphant town tier in terms of knowing exactly what is going through his mind, but his few iconic actions simply cash in too much town cred for me to kill him today.

What posts are you using to scum read him with? Or is it a tone thing?
