You've still not explained this, Varsoon.
Any thoughts on URAP's play?
I'm feeling more (gut) confident with my read there the more he posts~

You can't be aware of it and 'towntell', that's not how it works.

Thanks for the reads, though. Sorry if you're town.

@Michael Scott: Just feels too easy to vote there between the haphazard play the slot has exhibited especially in regards to voting, the kinda unlikable name, and pint's casing there. Didn't like how some folks leaving my wagon went there.

Michael is probably teetering on dropping a tier from this conversation. But I'm not sure on this yet.

This game is horrible to sort. I think there's probably one scum in pint/urap2 but haven't got around to completely parsing it yet. I don't feel confident on Michael/Vars town but I do feel slightly more confident on Alch town. AC/PF wouldn't surprise me if they flipped scum I just think its marginally less likely than those below.

Too many people not doing much. Too much focus on a handful of slots.

I really like that recent post of URAP2's and Michael Scott's.
I don't know why STW is trying to present this game as hard to read/sort.

C'mon, if you're aware of said towntells, it's clearly in your capability to make them as scum, too. More WIFOM.
A couple of things.

Firstly have you ever posted something then just gone "oh fuck that was towny where did that come from"? That's like, the only time I towntell holistically. Sometimes when I have a thought then explain it ITT it evolves into something I didn't expect it to before I started typing. I think this is something probably f>t type people probably do instinctively I guess but it's not something I'm all thwt capable of doing as scum. (I can real-time as scum just fine but I'm a lot less interesting)

Secondly, I'm not making the point that we should be obvious town at all. In fact paranoia following scm1 is pretty healthy for most slots here (there are some I'm expecting to see a difference right away - Nancy is a classic example). But Varsoon could be PBPAing our entire iso and just saying "wolfy" next to every post. It's reaching the point where his lack of reconsideration and 3 dimensional thinking is making me regret townreading him originally.

Again, this is not WIFOM. Cut the buzzword spam and talk me through what you think is scum indicative. Buzzwords are GREAT for catching 10 year olds out on lying but their scope when you use them as "this sentence is _____" without elaboration is incredibly limited.

Actually our hydra dynamic applies strongly to this. It's something we discussed for a while yesterday and concluded with "Varsoon looks like town but he looks like he wants to be townread. Not really sure where to go with this."

Here you come with that 'regret townreading you' and 'I will revoke that townread'.

Don't you understand, STW?

Shooting you confirms me as town.
No need to continue to try to undermine it.

To make this clearer for you:
In post 1, Krazy wrote:
  • This is a confirmed single-ball game with no third party roles. The distribution of players will be 11 town vs 3 mafia
  • There will be a role similar to a town-aligned vigilante in this game
  • This game will feature roles that interact with the order of players in the player list, but the primary emphasis will still be on day play and not night actions.
@Mod: Can we take the point quoted here to indicate that there will be a TOWN-ALIGNED role that is similar to a Vigilante this game?

Buzzwords are also great when they capture the essence of an argument, removing the need to explain it. I don't think the accusation I made needed much elaboration, but here's my rebuttal to your response anyway.

Sure, going "Oh that was Towny where did that come from?" Is a legitimate feeling to have, but doesn't pair off with "I towntold a bunch of times" -- the latter portrays an awareness to the tells. I don't trust that it's beyond your capability to know how town!you would behave and then behave in a similar fashion. Also, you're exaggerating how ridiculous it is to make those moves as scum - for example, I've already pointed out benefits to non-signing as scum.

I found this in your ISO, your progression from this to your latest read there seems highly unnatural.
Did you just notice that you were inferring who was authoring them? You had nothing to say when their (lack of) signing was a talking point of the game?

~Detective Michael Scarn
I called them scummy for it early in this game when people were talking about it.

Then they stopped signing, but I could tell who was writing and I kind of felt that was their compromise, if that makes sense.

I don't understand why you think it is unnatural? I was expecting TW to want to see thought process in order to read me precisely because of our prior experience, so at the time that checked out. Now, having given him something to work with, Ithink it's likely that he finds a town read on me if he is town.

p.edit The other half of what? I'm not following, Mephisto
Why do you think town!tw townreads you here? Specifics please
Why do you think scum!tw doesn't townread you?

Also yeah we put the squeeze on slots we want to be able to read, that's exactly what we're doing

I heard that the lurk-meta on Nico indicates scum there but I don't really know if that's true or not.

i'm not sure why you expect the d1 dayvig to be believed by anyone when you just finished a fake triplevoter claim.

most of my scumreads are in empty leftover slots. or rather all of them. Varsoon's the only loud player i would consider lynching right now, and conveniently one of the players i want to be townreading the most. i'm of two minds on the matter, i think it's within scum Varsoon's wheelhouse to pick a hill to die on and survive off of that, while the focus on getting everyone's opinion on his triplevoter claim is townier. and also something i think scum Varsoon would do.
it's sort of demonstrative. the kind of spewing thought-process associated with town (usually) that i've seen scum Varsoon employ just recently.

STW's reaction to the dayvig is another very small town point for them.

The first is a read on TW's skill level that takes into account his experience with me. It's not a prelude to self meta analysis

I think scum!tw certainly can town read me, and would do that some % of the time. I don't think scum!tw is terribly worried about pocketing me in this player set. I don't know what they are, but there are certainly past experiences between him and others that would have him prioritizing others. Part of that , or any other scum!strat that tw employs could involve not town reading me. Saying that I expect town!tw to town read me here does not insinuate that I think scum!tw scum reads me 100% of the time
