I'm not scared of engaging you, I just know that the worst uses that excuse on me when he rolls scum. There is no reason to engage when he's claiming he's "worried because I'm null" because that is a scum tell.

He was still hunting for scum that game. Aggressively, and he did a good job. He did not have TMI. You're suggesting we have TMI on your slot and are choosing to misrepresent it as a scumspect. Those are two extremely different situations. I'm not sure what your point is here unless you think we're a serial killer.

i'm not town reading stw if that's what you're saying

but also I think we're having a miscommunication.

You said that TW is scum and you voted me.

I'm asking if TW and me being svs is consistent with your current worldview, or if your scum read on me is entirely independent of your scum read on him.

Him voting you is fine considering we're waiting for the mod to post a votecount so Varsoon's farcical reaction test can end.

No, but let's just say it's on ManWithNoName, not so much of a secret alt anymore. Enlighten me.

Independent, I've been troubled by your willingness to make all the high posters town, now more troubled by your turning on those reads with no real reasoning.

So in SUPP2017 mafia the worst was effectively strong-armed into pretending to townread you because of your meta together. Shoshin and a few others heavily scumread your slot, and TW was put into a situation where they were forced to rescind their townread as "made too soon"--but only as a XyLo reconsideration of the read. That's it. That's how groupscum TW has most recently read your slot.

In Project Pinecone, he was a serial killer going up against the town and a 4 man scumteam. He didn't fake not being able to read you properly, because he didn't need to. It was his job to eliminate the scumteam just as much as it www the town's. Please appreciate that a self-aligned third party's approach to hunting the scumteam is far closer to a townie's, than to groupscum's.

The only read he manipulated there was lying about reconsidering obvscum dramonic on day one. There is no benefit in lying about nullreading you as a serial killer.

Tl;dr: if we were scum, we have no issues faking a read on your slot and no reason not to fake a read on your slot.

If this goes through and Krazy doesn't confirm that the vigilante is aligned with the town, do not trust Varsoon based on his play so far.

First, SUPP2017 actually finished?

Second, the vote and placing my slot really low doesn't seem like a null read to me. So, how is actively pushing a "null read" a town action.

Third, I don't think day vig can be aligned with scum under the site rules, but that one may just be completely wrong.

Because town wants to lynch scum, so, town should push scum reads. Therefore, pushing non-scum reads is scummy.

Only under normal guidelines (which Krazy has proved he doesn't believe in :P) - theme games are exempt from that.
All the same you're almost certainly not s/s with Varsoon I think.

I vote nullreads to get them to react so I can try to get a better read on them. If that's not a town action I'm probably scum irl.

And jumping on nullreads so they start towntelling or... not towntelling.... is a brilliant way to proceed if you don't have many reads. How would you propose handling nullreads if not pressuring them?

I don't know if it's playstyle or what, but D1 seems to me to be exactly the right time to dig into your null reads

There's still sorting to be done!

Do you have a read on Taly?

Ultimately there's two factions. Scum and town. There isn't a null faction, so having nullreads instantly compromises the integrity of a readlist.

I think it's a quirk I'm developing these days.

History shows that I am bad at reading Taly.

So, I've been waiting until the next time Gamma and I are around on discord at the same time to discuss that one with him. Timing has not been out friend the past few days.

Most accurate answer is that I do have ideas on the slot, but want my other head before really acting on them or making them public.

That's frustrating, but I respect your process.

I guess TW is no longer null on you

I wish I had gotten such a strong feeling.

The reactionary confusion and bite was very very town!brass. good tone and I think the pace of it pushes on being outside brass' scumrange.

His immediate "ok lol well you're vigged and probably scum and here's why so I'm gonna lynch someone else" was towny as hell especially from him. I also don't think that comment wrt TW misreading him which is completely inconsistent with play history comes from scum who's scheming our mislynch.

@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?
Yes.
