auhsoj, Okx, and anyone else without a profile picture: please get a profile picture! It will make the game much easier to read for everyone (right now it's likely we'll mix you two up when reading quickly)

Hi AbyssalLord! I can't be a scumteam with ceejay and lames, that's too many people. wanna dive into why scum is more likely to share early townreads than town? or share any other reads so far?
Muh, notably, you actually haven't "addressed my question". You've only asked a different one in return. I'd still like an answer
Given my last game with Lamees, I find the "LOOK AT ME AND GIVE ME ATTENTION" all-caps entrance to be like 2% more likely to come from town-Lamees than scum-Lamees. I voted Lamees because I usually vote someone I recognize in RVS. I didn't yet have a townread on her, though. I shared the townread a few posts later, when I came to think of it. Why did you present my actions out of order like that?
lamees, I probably agree, but I'm not loving AbyssalLord's entrance. Are you townreading it?

I guess
It feels a little bit like he wants it to both *be a joke* and *slightly increase people's scummy perceptions of the three of us* but I recognize it might just be the first of the two

Oh you did, my bad
When I voted I hadn't read anything other than the playerlist; when I had a townread I had read and tried to parse alignments from all the RVS posts.

okay, cool, just wondering if there was one particular post that gave you the read. I'll accept "feeling" as a reason this early.
Does your read on me go deeper?

Cool, I think I'm townreading you a little.
Though, it's generally frowned upon to guess who's PR and who isn't - that helps scum more than it helps town. It's also more common on this site for PRs to play more subtle until they decide to claim, anyway.

Really? I felt like everyone was calling me pushy/saying I was asking too many questions in that game.
If you couldn't tell, I'm trying to get the game moving past the RVS stage. I often do this, and I get less aggressive once there's more to talk about
I'm inclined to believe the townslip for now, but it's nowhere near "clearing", since some newbies who roll scum their first time know enough to fake it

I think wagoning is pro-town in general (though obviously it can lead to mislynches sometimes), because the pressure it provides helps to find scum
I think VOTE: Jim is overly afraid of wagons
Busy tonight but will be on tommrow, presume the only reason I'm L-2 is that I've been quiet?
yes
Agree that weekends are usually a less active time onsite
Disagree that I only like Lamees because they followed my vote - if she had followed onto another wagon I would townread her for that, too
In retrospect, I like Jim's reasoning for scumreading Lamees, though - it's more well-thought-out than I originally realized. I don't like AbyssalLord's vote, though. "they have been following votes around" - AL, can you explain why that makes her more likely to be scum?

Child, any other scumreads? Your vote is most helpful as a tool when it's pressuring players to play better.
In post 124, Jim Hawkins wrote:As far as "everyone else," honestly, I'm not getting much of a read on anyone, town or scum. I guess I'm not sure if it's too early to have reads on everyone, or if I'm not analyzing people's posts deep enough. Still trying to get into the swing of this.
It is pretty early to have strong reads, but often to begin with people will share their "leans" - the players they're really *feeling* are one alignment or another.
I'm about here:
Town
{Lamees, muh316}
{Jim, Child, okx}
{ceejay, auhsoj} - about here is null, though by process of elimination I should maybe call these two scumleans as well

I really really don't think Lamees is scum here
I recognize that her play could potentially have the goal of pocketing me but I don't feel at all pocketed - my reason for townreading her has next to nothing to do with the fact that her votes match mine. Rather, it's her play on the whole. And I don't think her using her vote very freely is scummy - actually, town usually feel much more comfortable throwing their vote around (scum don't like the attention it gets them)
Please do not lynch Lamees today.
Is anyone strongly townreading abyssallord, aside from the "slip" (which is easily faked)?

If everyone could provide readslists in the next 24 hours, that would be extremely helpful. We need to arrive at a lynch soon, and I don't think Lamees is a good choice.

In post 88, Lamees wrote:I picked up irrel wants to get past RVS which I think is good for the game (either alignments) and I think a wagon is the perfect way to do so. We just happened to get a wagon on the wrong player the first attempt.

Alright, without the previous post, i could let this slide. But now i cant see your reasoning.
Why are you trying so desperately to get a wagon? Most of the people you voted didnt even write anything contributing to the convo. There are two reasons you seem to bring about with this wagon:
First is to get out of RVS, in which case voting anyone and seeing their reactions will do fine. No reason in changing from whoever you were voting before.
And in the second post, you say that joshua might be the wrong player. And what do you mean by wrong player? He hasnt responded yet, and you just seem to want to jump from wagon to wagon. Explain what you want to do, clearly, uncontradictary.

So you're new huh? Tough luck, you could've just passed this off as simply "i dont know how to play" but you had to compare yourself to muh. Not taking the blame and shifting it by comparing your newbie self to someone more experienced to gain sympathy is the oldest trick in the book. You're going to the gallows, regardless of how much experience you have.

There’s so much shade throwing in the above post, based on misinterpretations and negative assumptions
Also *surprise* the replacement suspects the two people who have had the biggest wagons

Scum can indeed figure out who’s widely townread based on readslists, and nightkill them, but they might figure that out anyway (who isn’t being suspected by the other players?) and readslists provide a kind of accountability - you have to show you believe your reads
Town
{Lamees, muh316}
{Jim, CJ}
{Child, okx} - null line. I don’t have a reason to scumreading either of these players but I also have a hard time seeing the game from their perspective/understanding their reads.
{abyssallord} -
{dongempire}

I agree that we shouldn’t lynch him yet, but I think his entrance is very scummy. Without showing much thought as to why, he says he finds the two biggest wagons scummy. I find it overly convenient to the point of being the scummiest play so far. How do you read it?

Lol after I flip scum you can brag about catching me
Till then the two words are synonyms
I agree that it was too quick and fairly likely to be a play style thing but I still want a little more from dong before I unvite (“the IC wants my mislynch”, really? That’s sorta what I mean by throwing shade. How was I supposed to know the wagon would grow quickly?)
Well we got two wagons up to L-1, so we did something good here at least (all the more to analyze later)
If both wagons are on town then I bet there’s one scum on each wagon
Actually there might be one scum on each wagon either way

Dongempire can you see why I would be suspicious of your entrance being: questioning the two most widely scumread players, ignoring all other slots, and then voting on one of the two most popular wagons?
I might come around to you being town (probably more from the way your wagon formed so quickly rather than your play so far), but i think it makes perfect sense from an objective point of view why i scumread you.
I think Abyssal might be the better lynch today, but your play has mostly defensive, which is hard to read either way. Who’s towny in your eyes?
I’m still interested to hear Child explain his Okx read, too.

Wow the tone this page got a lot more aggressive
Not my style but it’ll hopefully keep things moving this game, so that’s honestly fine w me
I think I’m townreading dongempire’s self-righteous anger, actually. I think it’s pretty rare for scum to be so audacious as to say “how dare you scumread me?!?!” And the fact that muh316 found another game where he showed aggression is towny for both of them I think.
I need to re-evaluate, some.
I’m only mobile posting lately so answers to your questions coming soon - I can’t do my usual quote walls

I’m rereading this today to firm up my reads and explain them
ICs are sometimes killed just for being IC’s so I’ll try to get everything in my head into the thread
I definitely don’t want a muh, dong, or lamees lunch. I’d prefer not to lynch Child either I think? Like I said I’ll be getting more thorough tonight.
@abyssal what are you saying about jailkeeper?

CJ has been lynchbait before I think, or at least I know his play style sometimes gets him scumread
Having said that, I’m finding the cases against him somewhat convincing. Almost done rereading
Lamees you seem easier to read/understand here than in our last game. Is that intentional?

ohx for same reason as abyssallord was pushed, no actual content aside from asking people to post content, which i dont like. why i scumread him and not abyssal is the fact that him not participating much is sort of put under the rug, while abyssal is pushed even after a supposed "townslip", early reading would suggest a possible ohx-muh team to me, although its a bit of a stretch, considering the fact that i dont even scumread muh. its very possible though
i still have the same opinion, basically i think ohx is the worse version of abyssallord.
also adding irrelephant to scumpool, removing lamees.
Missed this before
-I think that the use of “easy” and “fast” in this case would basically be synonyms. I’ve always found word choice to “catch” town more often than scum, and unless you’re scumreading anything else about my oplay, I think your read on me is a reach.
-I had literally just said “i didn’t understand your okx read”, which implies I remembered it but wanted you to explain again. To be clear, your scumread is “I don’t like his requests for content w/o providing content himself, and I think he could be scum with someone I’m townreading”? I sort of get the first reason but I think the second one is... not really a reason.
-the reason to not scumread abyssal sort of tracks though I guess (fast wagon)

Town
Muh316 - has been logical, made pushes, lacks agenda, and overall shows scumhunting
Dongempire - self-righteous anger is towny, and his case on ceejay seems hard to make as scum (hard to fake that sort of thought process) even moreso than I find it damning for ceejay himself
Lamees - I think wagoning is town-indicative, I think her analysis of players like ceejay and abyssal show town thought processes
Jim - entrance to the thread was strong in retrospect, shows towny skepticism (“please explain how “ceejay seems a little mafia” is your entire case”)
Child - similar reads, lots of scumhunting in the ISO, kinda townreading the push on me that isn’t gaining traction (as opposed to scum trying to gather the momentum for a mislynch)
Willing to lunch
Ceejay - unexplained reads I don’t understand, opportunistic voting patterns (whoever’s lynchable, as opposed to whoever he’s been suspecting)
Abyssal - the townslip could be faked (I faked a townslip as a newbie scum before), and his ISO is pretty empty of scumhunting content
Okx - most of his reads seem to be based on ~feeling~ and eventually I’d expect him to be able to point to specific things as the game has picked up and wagons have rose and fallen
