I've been amused that while I've been more hesitant to hand out hard reads (which is my style but can look like scum keeping options open) and not even explaining the ones I've given, you were FOSing elsewhere.In post 568, Varsoon wrote:Nauci's posts actually ping me really hard as scum and I don't have much reason besides 'gut'.
I'm sure a better player can make a better case there if Nauci is actually scum, though.
The game I modded had like >600 Saudade posts so I see no reason to form strong cases for anything yet, with probably 50+ pages left to go on Day 1. My stance on performer and xtoxm is based on a very strong reaction to the few posts they have but I just don't have enough information this game to form strong opinions.
Keyser, Skitter30, and AlmostNancy—what are your thoughts on Performer's reaction to the scumreads on him? Or on Shoshin moving off the wagon?
@shoshin how have you only rolled scum once? Please tell TW and I of your secrets. Do you sacrifice virgins to RNGesus?
@varsoon I thought I was explicitly explaining that A: this behavior is within town-shoshin bounds even if it could be scum it shouldn't be the basis for a case, and B: we (the players I'm familiar with here) appreciate her for turning up evidence but do not sheep her reads
Everyone else: what are your thoughts on Mit's informed claim? Is it genuine? Could it have been faked? Would it be useful for scum to fake something like that?-

Yeah, she knows I think. She calls any scumreads on her a “witchhunt”. She did that both in Labrynth and in Overkill 1.In post 603, the worst wrote:Nancy has a hilarious scumtell on Porkens which I'm not sure if she's outed or notHydra of Almost50 and Nancy Drew 39

Not a chance. Not unless he Ninja modifier is attached to a non-killing action (example: Ninja RB, Ninja Framer.. etc.). In that case they can fool a hypothetical Watcher (which we don't even have confirmation exists) into thinking someone's lying about being RB'd or a Cop red result is true (which -again- is very unlikely because it requires a Watcher to be targeting the same person the Cop is, or at least the same PR the Scum RB is blocking).In post 601, Nauci wrote:Everyone else: what are your thoughts on Mit's informed claim?

However, Ninja is usually attacked to kills (either a player or the factional kill) and if someone flips with a Ninja modifier, or if a Watcher existed was on the NK and saw no one visiting, it will result in an instant lynch of Mitillos.
But since you brought me "home" (theorizing about the setup) I'd say a Serial Killer who was informed there was no Watcher in the game could use that gambit. Maybe a Mafia team with that info would too.Hydra of Almost50 and Nancy Drew 39

Shoshin was testing that wagon and found a better one.
I believe Mit’s claim. I don’t really see the scum motivation in doing that but I was townreading them even without that.Hydra of Almost50 and Nancy Drew 39

@Nancy: I explained why teacher was more suspicious than xtoxm in the very post you quoted. His vote is without any reasons given, his post devoid of content except a weak and non-committal defense of Performer. That's even less effort than xtoxm had put into his posts.
@Varsoon: I claimed information. It got buried in my verbose style. Also, you should try to do something about that bitterness, quickly. Some of us have been explicitly asking for your own reads, and you insist on going on about how Shoshin is infallible. This is not helpful or relevant. Just because most of us are townreading both Irrelephant and Shoshin doesn't mean 1) we are automatically correct, 2) they are correct in their reads, or 3) we don't care about your reads. But you have to make the effort, and yes, show your work.You don't have ambiguity; you haveoptions.-

the only time i played with him (as town) i townread him for very doggedly trying to find scum and pursuing his scumreads (even if i disagreed with him) and just being very try-hard i guess is the right way to explain it

i haven't seen that here yet
he also replaced in to that game on like day4 and had a lot of content so i don't know if that's a factor i should be taking into account when comparing his play here to there
overall i'm kinda underwhelemed but i feel like that might be a funcion of him being overwhelemed by the speed of the game and how many posts there are and not necessarily because he's scum

You prefer a teacher lynch instead? I’m not opposed to that. I would just prefer to see a few more posts of theirs. Also, I think Key claimed to have meta on teacher. @Key, help us out here. Based on that single post, how do you read teacher?In post 611, Mitillos wrote:Did someone say math teacher?

I'd want some pretty spicy meta to lynch a one-poster
Teacher has a strong scumgame but imo a better towngame, so he's not someone I'm interested in pushing for that either. He'll play when he has the time (and probably when we slow down a fraction) regardless of whether he's a wolf or not imo-
