This is another reason why I'm townreading creature, which I forgot to point out. This accounts for the fact that not all posts are black and white. He's just stating whether he's liking, not liking, or finding neutral those posts. Town players generally will have a somewhat concrete read, by that I mean they aren't changing opinions too quickly, but they won't be extremely concrete, because there is always other possibilities.In post 70, Creature wrote:

I don't think this is true. More likely, a scum would keep whoever townreads them alive.In post 192, DVa wrote:

Unless his scum meta changed considerably , then that's how I read creature too.
>Scum!Creature would use this reasoning to active post initially in a game, then would nightkill everyone who townread him based on this meta reason, and then go back to scum!lurking with the entire graveyard saying he's locktown based on meta.
So, while I'm not saying I think Creature is particularly scummy this game, I don't think that him copy/pasting a list a few times is a good reason to townread him quite yet thanks.- xx2008

Regarding the side note, I guess this could be true. I don't think anyone would have enough time to post reads like this for every person, especially in a large game like this.In post 213, Nosferatu wrote:

Yeah, perhaps this could be true. However, I just don't feel like those posts sound right.In post 224, Nosferatu wrote:

i dont think scum would offer up an iso like that as like "look im doing something" i feel like they would know that they were basically coasting and try to take away attention from it.
so im moving him up in my reads- xx2008

I think the Nosferatu and Sephiroth 1v1 could either be a TvT or a SvT. I think it's more of a TvT, though, because it appears more like a misunderstanding. I don't expect two scum to be doing this, though, for that would attract too much attention, especially due to the fact that this 1v1 lasted for a long time in terms of pages, and anyone skimming through the game could have noticed it.- xx2008

I think through my reads, and if I realize one of them was a faulty one, I change my vote. I also tend to look at posts in the order that they were made, so whenever that happens it's because I was still looking at previous posts I missed while I posted that.In post 287, Completly Trustworthy wrote:I would still like XX to answer the question I gave him in 153.

Are you still going to keep up that list? It is pretty difficult keeping track of everyone's posts, especially in a large game.In post 352, Creature wrote:If I kept up my list, Nos would probably have a lot of greens- xx2008

Regarding your view on shattiel, I think your post is kind of scummy, because at the point of this post, shattiel has only made two posts. I very slightly feel like you're trying to shade shattiel with your post.In post 281, AP wrote:xx2008/Carcalilly/Maxous/Garmr/Inferno390/Creature/FA_Q2/Shattiel/Completly Trustworthy/Flubbernugget/DVa
This is how my "unsorted" lynch pool looks like. The others are either TRs or Town leans for now.
Out of the crowd I'm slightly more pinged by the bolded. Carca basically for doing the exact same thing she did in a recent previous game when she was scum and tried to fake a connection with a town slot. Shattiel bc I suspect this to be someone I know and the 2nd post of hers (she only posted 2) is somewhat worrying if my guess is correct.
Of the two I'd give Shattiel a bit more time, but if this lurking continues and she only pops up to say "hi, I'm here, greetings," and so forth I suggest to lynch with fire. Also if she decides to completely vanish off the face of the planet we should lynch the slot. (If anyone knows for sure who Shattiel is and can confirm she'snot the person I'm describingstep up now, please).
Also keeping an eye on Creature. It's not the count of his posts, but rather the content. So far it's a lot of noise so it's NAI, because that's how he would start the game as either alignment of late. As Town though he will provide some reads and commit to them (sometimes spot on, sometimes garbage reads, but he will commit to them and argue for his PoV). As scum he still finds it hard to come up with a good reason to vote anyone, so there's that.
I need more time to try and sort Maxous, FA_Q2 & Flubber. I can't promise I'll ever return a confident read on the likes of Garmr, Inferno & DVa, but we will see.
xx & CT I'll leave for someone else to sort.
But after you made your post, shattiel began posting, which could imply lurking, because if shattiel was simply inactive, she would not have had the time to read that many posts she missed and see your post about her inactivity. If you're town, then I can see a scum shattiel.- xx2008

Creature seemed calm, and re-thinking the situation, I realized that making such a list of all the posts is a towny action itself. First, it takes a lot of work to make the chart and keep track of all the posts, which is probably why he stopped making the chart after a while. Secondly, it's a window into his alignment.In post 555, profii wrote:

Doing an ISO on flubber right now. What I find from this post is, creature isn't counting posts he finds towny or scummy; he's only counting posts he likes or dislikes. Creature not liking someone's post does not mean creature will vote that person. I don't think this post is towny, but I also would not find it very scummy.In post 73, Flubbernugget wrote:

I kind of agree with this, because it wouldn't make sense to have a lynchpool of 12 people. How will this pool be narrowed down?In post 368, Flubbernugget wrote:
There's 12 people in the pool. That's 60% of the game. That's like (generously) saying you're okay to lynch 5 out of 9 in a micro.In post 319, RCEnigma wrote:

What does it mean to have players in it that you cant sort? And why cant you sort them?
Why is Carca bolded here but not addressed in your questioning?
Did AP catch a partner or two in that net?
Additionally, poe in a large is significantly worse than that ratio gives off just because most people can only hold a small list of ideas at one time. There's a lot of room for scum to hide in that mental load. I get that sometimes the whole game just looks town, but when that happens to me, I try to be as precise about why I am town reading each individual as possible.
I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to ask about carca. AP bolded that and I do think they explained why in the same post.- xx2008

Regarding dva's post, it does not say that Sephiroth and flubber are scummy. It only asks if anyone can find anything towny about them, which I think is a rhetorical question. I have mixed feelings towards flubber right now.In post 804, Maxous wrote:

I guess that could be the case. I don't think anyone would fake by saying "that's just kind of how I talk", especially for someone who has been on the site for a long time, where people will probably know the truth about it already.In post 237, Sephiroth wrote:

With Gamma emerald going page-by-page and reading every post, I have a good solid townread on him. Replacing into a game, what I would expect scum to do is to simply play along without analyzing the previous posts.
Now, I'm starting to get a very slight townlean on flubber. Something just tells me very slightly his posts are town. Possibly because of his tone.
What is a scum theater, by the way?- xx2008

The tones of recent dva posts make me change my mind about her. I re-read her earlier posts, and putting it together, I kind of see a genuine scumhunter. I'm not sure why in my last post I included her in my scumread list. I must have made a mistake while posting too quickly.
Personally, I wouldn't think flubber is guaranteed scum. I wouldn't say he is exactly the towniest, though.
Regarding ofrhz, he has been sheeping in this game, and I don't really like that. I think it is probably poor scum play.- xx2008

I'm pretty sure some of the later votes on the flubber wagon were not scum votes, by the way. My theory is that scum wouldn't risk bussing this early in the game, considering that flubber is getting closer and closer to being hammered, and that there are likely only about 4 scum in the game. A scum lynch on the first day is something that will damage scum a lot.- xx2008

Why do you think they are weird questions? I have heard of the IC role under a different name before, but I have never heard of a strongman. I didn't think it was much of a different role at first, but things started to get a little confusing, so that's why I asked.In post 1485, Performer wrote:In post 1483, xx2008 wrote:Does IC mean a role that is revealed at the start of the game?
What does a strongman do?
I haven't heard of them before, but I always keep forgetting to ask.
These are very, very weird questions to ask. Anyway, an IC revealed means that person is the designated Inexperienced Challenged guy for the game. A strongman just means a role that is strong enough that, if he targets a tpr, he ends up wiping out the rest of the tprs in the game. Sad and super powerful , I know.In post 1484, xx2008 wrote:@fl, you hammered flubber day1 very quickly without waiting for his claim. Were there any reasons other than the ones you stated day1 for doing so?
I reviewed Varsoon, FL, and your game where you were tpr Town Tracker with my friend James Doakes the jk. I didn't get a newbie vibe like the one you have in this game. GE somehow tr on you and I don't recall ap mentioning a read on you.
AP what do you think of xx & my case on him. He's in my scum pool. Why on earth he wavered on you and flubb, is suspicious.- xx2008

I was kind of confused about what IC stood for, because IC stood for inexperience challenged in my newbie games. I remember hearing innocent child as IC even in a newbie game, but it wasn't mentioned that much and was probably only a joke that I didn't get.
It might be that I was also playing a recently-finished newbie game with fl as IC (as inexperience challenged), so I was mixing things up on accident.- xx2008

I looked at ap from the previous day, and even though it's hard to explain, his posts make me want to target him if I were an investigatting town PR. I just have a feeling that he is one fo those people who need a check on them to be certain about reads. Maybe the motion detector revealed another town PR investigating him? - xx2008
