but yes, that is the line of thinking.

There is inconsistency. Scantius' opening post is clearly designed to maximize the pressure he can exert with his RVS vote, but his later posts suggest that he doesn't believe exerting pressure on people at the start is an effective/good tactic.

The question is then,

Is town!scantius not being genuine when he makes his initial post, and instead just trying to conform to what he believes RVS should look like in order to fit in?
Or did scum!scantius just take his first opportunity to throw shade at somebody and derail a concerted town action at the start?

could go either way. my gut says town, but I want an explanation about

Scantius, let's change the subject.

You've gotten to engage with numerous players as a result of being scum read.

Have you made any reads as a result?

Mate, I know it must have been a little rough being scum read right away, but it feels like since then you've become more reserved in how you're answering questions. I think you're town, and we're going to need to work together and i'm trying to get you to be a little more free flowing with your comments. never know what diamond you might unearth, or what little comment inspires a thought process in someone else that leads to them solving the game

that's good. i like that. keep explaining your thought process at that level and this game should go great.

I agree with you on GL. I think he's projecting town, and I respect his game enough that I'm wary of being mislead.

What about DE, though? He has two posts, so I'm not sure it's fair to call him active anything.

As FC pointed out, he agreed with GL when scum reading you, but did not move his vote from GL (an rvs vote) to you. Do you think that's alignment indicative? Do you think he could be scum trying to blend in with what the majority of town are saying?

That's interesting. Why? So far Yyotta's play is more or less flipped from our last game with her, and is more in line with what I read of her play in other games where she was town. Do you think scum!Yyotta learned from newbie 1905 and is being overly active in response to being lynched for lurking? Are there specific pieces of Yyotta's ISO that strike you as scummy?
You say that yyotta's play is flipped from our last game. If you mean that in that game she was not posting at all and in this game she is posting more than nothing, then I agree.

But the content coming from Yyotta's posts is disconnected from the game - Her initial scum read of scantius makes assertions that are not backed up in the thread, etc.

Other content from her this game seems down right trolly. I'm not saying I can read the slot. I'm saying she's playing a very anti-town game, and I think it would be pro town to remove the slot from the game well before lylo. Obviously, if we have a super scummy candidate at the end of the day I would rather lynch that. Absent that I'll be pushing for a policy lynch.

That said, I don't want to get bogged down in a discussion of Yyotta until a) she starts contributing in a meaningful way or b) the deadline is closer.

Where is the inconsistency?

>Have interaction with Scantius that raises concerns about his alignment
>Explain my thought process in the middle of engaging/evaluating him because I'm asked to
>Continue engaging with scantius and evaluate him as town
>try to rebuild relationship strained by early engagement

if i were writing a guide on how to play town, this would be the gist of my advice

@dong With respect, I believe you have misunderstood my interaction with Scantius. I laid out how I thought Scantius' posts about early pressure were inconsistent, and that line of reasoning led me to asking him about his RVS post. I didn't assert that his RVS vote had an ulterior motive. I simply said it suggested a thought process that was inconsistent with his later postings.

As to not making up my mind about his alignment?
>Initially my gut said he was town (this is not a strong read, my gut isn't known for accuracy. I was still evaluating him.) After continuing to interact with scantius my read became more firm and I said I thought he was town. This is how forming reads works!

Since you were in the game, I think you should consider my interaction with cheeky in 1905 towards the end of day 1.

We tunneled one another, and then turned on a dime and started working together.

Now consider that next to my interaction with stantius

I think you'll find them consistent.



Actually, I think 1905 would be a great read for anyone pushing my lynch. I replace in around page 20, and it's a spicy game.

did you, elememts?

I was barely awake when i posted this. Let me elaborate.

In the first post,
Elements states that he thinks there is one scum between me and FC.


In the second post, Elements states that he unvoted fc and voted for yyotta because he thinks yyotta is scummier than fc,
and as he stated before he thinks one of them is scum.


but it was me and fc he had paired up, not fc and yyotta.

The most charitable explanation is that town!elements naked voted yyotta on impulse, or as a pressure vote, or for whatever reason and then made up a false narrative for why that he thought would sound reasonable.

The other explanation is that scum!elements had to make up an explanation for his vote on yyotta and simply slipped.


And I know people are going to say, "Town screws up little details all the time!" That's true. town does incorrectly remember game events, say one name when they mean another, and make a host of other errors that leads to them being incorrectly scumread. I don't think that's what we have here. This wasn't an incorrect detail. Elements' entire narrative for why he voted for yyotta is wrong. His vote on yyotta came just 40 minutes after he paired people up (1 in 2 of us and 1 in 3 of us), so it's unlikely he had forgotten his pairings by then. There must have been a reason why town!elements voted yyotta. Why, then, would town!elements lie about what that reason was when asked later?

I agree. I was frustrated with yyotta, but those 3 posts of hers after I promoted a policy lynch are actually pretty townie.

in addition, i think your and (maybe) GL's reaction were very townie

yours def, but I'm not sure that GL was actually responding to my push on yyotta when he asked my experience level.

yyotta's reaction, posting actual meaningful stuff, was townie

dongempire's response, "I can't even believe someone would say something so insane!" (paraphrased) seemed over the top, but I think it could have come from either alignment.

If you want to convince me that my thought process is wrong so that we can work, I'll respond better to a less hostile tone.

If you want to convince others that I'm scum, then address them or ask me questions that you think will help bolster your case.

I don't think I'm fence sitting at all. I think my positions are quite clear and have been from the start. I think what you're reading as "holding back" is actually just me not being hostile. Regardless of your alignment, u r a person, 2. I can call you scum and still engage you with measured tone of voice.

That said, maybe I am fence sitting because this level of tunneling and aggression ("every post you make is bad and is obv!scum omg!) comes far more often from town than scum in my experience. game might be harder than i thought

And if Elements is indeed scum, his red flip will basically conf!town yyotta because there is no way two scum mess up such a simple interaction as "explain why you voted me" and in the case of scum!elements, it was exactly that which exposed him.

p.edit. Elements, your response doesn't make sense. You were responding to yyotta, and quoting your vote on yyotta. There were a number of indicators outside of your own memory that should have informed you that your vote was on yyotta and not on me.

Travelling ATM. Phone posting so nothing big from me tonight. FC, I'm assuming that you've figured out what I was talking about with elements by now. Can you give your thoughts on that whole thing now that you understand it.

Also you have as your only scumread because my interaction early with stantius looks like an elaborate method of pocketing him and this bit with questioning elements. Is that a fair representation of your read? Does your understanding of elements' error change this?


Here's where I am at this point. There have been changes

Town circle {GL, stantius}
Town lean {yyotta, dong, urist}

2 scum in {elements, sheep, FC}

And I think the last town in those three is elements because I liked his response to my pointing out his error (I know you didn't like it, GL. I like it enough to be uncertain)

@fc
I don't really understand your confusion with regards to elements. You've seemed very reasonable last game and this game, and it doesn't really seem scummy to deny the slip because it's like denying that the sky is blue? I saw it, elements admitted to making the mistake and guilty lion saw it, so it happened. The question is how alignment indicative it is.

Here's one more go at explaining it.
>Elements makes 2 groups of players, saying he believes there is one scum in each group.
>He votes yyotta.
>He explains his vote by referring to and contradicting the first post
>Implying that he either didn't have his story straight or didn't know who he was voting for

I said at
most
one scum in each group. This doesn't mean I've completely disregarded everyone else as possible scum, that would be stupid. It is entirely plausible that none of them are scum.
Yes, I should have been more precise when representing your position, though it doesn't substantially change the point of the post.
In post 239, Elements wrote:@urap2 other then mmy mistake with the yyotta vote etc why do you scum read me?
My read on you send entirely from that error and your explanation. Nothing else in your iso really sticks out to me as particularly alignment indicative one way or the other.

@Nauci welcome, and glad to have you. I was town reading scantius, so im looking forward to what you've got for us.

Since your reads have changed, could you please give your current reads?

@FC Reminder that I asked for your re-read on elements. I don't want it to get lost.

@GL I usually have too many town reads but right now I've got too many scum reads, and yyotta is really low on my list of people to lynch. Can we push Urist instead? He's in the sweet spot of the venn diagram of our scum reads

You had some good insights into urist, though this one in particular is NAI, I think, after watching yyotta/urist interact in 1905. Maybe check that out before trying to link their alignments.

I don't think that the game was dead in the 48+ hours between these two posts by Urist. Elements questioned yyotta, Foodcoats outlined his change in thinking on elements/me, and yyotta and I had a few posts each. Rather than be around (and yeah, holidays, so i don't hold this against urist) or comment on what happened in his absence, urist posts "RIP this game" for what purpose? an attempt to discourage town and build lethargy? That might be too harsh a reading, but I think this comes from scum perspective more often than a town perspective.

@DE I don't like asking about reads on myself. I think it lacks style. But in this instance your read progression on me might be really telling.

Can you talk about how your read on me has evolved over the course of this game, and why?

elements put pvturist to l-1. in a world where they are scum partners, i think it is unlikely he does this

you clearly aren't urist's partner.

gl i read as town, and he was also on the wagon and made urist lynch sound inevitable when urist was l-1

yyotta hammered urist

that leaves nauci and foodcoats

okay, but in this specific game, who is bussing urist?

yyotta: I don't think yyotta thinks her best shot to win is hammering her partner there. do you?

dong: this would be one heck of a bus

elements: scum!elements would have already scum slippedi by this point in the game. It doesn't make sense to me that he would think his best course of action is to bus his partner here. urist was in no way inevitable when he put him to l-1

gl: gl gets the least credit for being on the wagon, but he s definitely not today's lynch. reevaluate if he is still alive in final 3

who, in this specific game is bussing? i dont see it

if elements is scum, then his messing up his reads was a scum slip. there was a lot of discussion on this, so I think you should probably know about it?

I dismiss guilty lion for today even though he gets the least credit because I town read him. He's played a really townie game all game, he made a strong case against urist when there was no pressure on him, he was quick to jump on the wagon, he did nothing to avert it. he's very likely town.

i didn't do analysis on myself. why don't you look at my interaction/vote on that slot and tell me if you think it looks scummy

oh i missed one

I don't think the urist wagon was inevitable when it was at l-2 with over a day left on the deadline. For instance, if elements had instead voted for me, we would have had two l-2 wagons and then who is to say what would have happened?

GL, you have put together a very compelling case on yyotta, and I am now convinced that there is scum equity there.

If yyotta flips green, we'll look back and say urist's interactions with yyotta were an attempt to mimic an aspect of his town game from 1905. I think that's possible.

I think yyotta's play on d2 is pretty darn scummy, which I had not accounted for prior to day start, obviously. It makes her hammer a lot scummier than if she had come in here and been like, "got em coach! This is how I knew.." or really said anything at all.

if we find ourselves in a tomorrow, we're looking at fc/nauci

VOTE: yyotta i think this is l-1

@FC
I started to answer your post about GL point by point and in the process of that I found myself reading the entirety of urist and GL iso'd together. so here's the broad takeaway:

I can see a little bit about what you are saying, but it's noise not signal.

IC!Scum!GL's push on urist is too strong and too earnest and too unprovoked. he's town. i'll get an avatar of a guy eating his own hat if he's scum.

We can disagree here. I think you have to tie yourself up in a knot to take his positions on urist as scum

Who do I think is scum? With respect, I think you are mate. We have 3 lynches left and yyotta has some scum equity so im not making the big wall case yet, but i think i can show a scum motivation behind your game and my poe says it's you or nauci (or yyotta, dang it gl)

p.edit i find when looking at associations, i have better luck looking at how everyone else interacted with the person and their wagon then i do looking at the iso of the scum player. both are obviously best

That is exactly what I was saying with the claiming idea earlier. But claiming has the added benefit of certainty
im pretty sure i know the prs. im not against a mass claim, but they are tedious. I think that if an investigative role were to have a green (presumably there is no red check) on any of {yyotta, Nauci, FC} that would be worth sharing now.

Additionally, if {yyotta, Nauci, or FC} is a power role i think they should claim. If they aren't cc'd, that clears someone who wasn't clear before. If they are cc'd, we lynch amongst the claims and win the game

yeah man. i think game has maybe a 20% chance of ending with yyotta lynch
If not yyotta, i think FC is probably scum.
If not yyotta or FC, Nauci is scum

@GL
Could you talk a bit about strategy for when we have an even number of players like this?

Also, can mafia choose to no kill or does this confirm that our last pr is doctor?

seeing as you just lynched the cop, would now be later enough for you to go into the little reaction you got?

Owing to the flip, no, but you can re-read my interaction with URAP and think about it.
I don't understand.

There is one scum in this game.

You claim to know why nauci voted me, and you claim to have a scum read on me and to have inferred something from an interaction with me

then you hammer a different player entirely

then you refuse to explain the scum read on me "owing to the flip?

Am I missing something here, FC? You seem like someone who would tend to take reasonable stances regardless of alignment.

It's a fact that there is one scum in this game, not a perspective.

It's also l-2 so i think your "I'm likely to be lynched.., save getting incredibly lucky" is kind of AtE

I think your complete turn around from yyotta being your biggest town read to voting them, hammer or not, is my biggest reason for thinking you're scrum and is also something you haven't explained
Well, I sort of did but I didn't want to be a total curmudgeon in coming back to this, so, to explain more completely: basically the entire reason I voted Yyotta at the time was more or less towel-throwing at my frustration with the rest of town. Honing in on Yyotta was too easy, as I pointed out earlier, and I was pretty solidly convinced that she was town from meta and that I thought she was crumbing PR (which I was obviously not going to point out for scum). But, I'd also been totally wrong about Urist, and everyone was continuing to visit GL's cage at the heavy petting zoo, so I got aggravated and jumped on Yyotta's wagon in a dumb way.

More substantially, I think the nature of this game is that Occam's razor cuts both ways. It can be an analytical tool but also a fallacy. I'm just annoyed at this town. But I'm sure you're all lovely people outside the game of course. :good:
mate, you can be annoyed at this town all you want, but if you are town you are playing like massive lynch bait right now

GG Everyone!

This was a tough one for scum. FC, I thought you played very well D1. FMPOV, the sheep nk was a mistake. I needed to cross someone off in my poe and you did that for me. I'd love to hear your thought process behind that kill

Thank you to TW for an excellently modded game. You're the man, duck!

you were a big part of the win

i know i pushed urist but if you read my pt you'll see that I was really wavering

GL's case on urist first, and then later yours while I wavered are the only reasons i stayed on that wagon.

you had me through most of day 1

wagon analysis was really damning this game.

if you could learn to plan around where you're going to have to lynch to get all the way to end game you could position yourself so that you don't have to tie yourself up in knots while still being able to play townie when town.

Pinturicchio laid out his whole plan to get to end game in 1905. It's a great example of what i'm talking about.

I really hope to play with you in the future. I think you're gonna get dangerous ;P
