I can’t remember why now (lots of bad stuff going on, distracting me from this game) but I like rotisserie slap chop for town.In post 989, Shoshin the worst wrote:Seriously the thread needs to focus on someone else. The amount of bias here is making it excruciating to read.
Posts like ProFlavor's last one SHOULD come >rand from scum because of how conspicuously weighted they are. Taly's magical read reversal on us because we took a break from pushing the thread momentum for a few pages and others stated they still didn't like us should come >rand from scum. But everyone is so full of it I'm not really sure how I'm meant to be reading them.
Most of the active players are town. somewhere in {pintu, ProFlavor, Taly} is as deep as the deepwolves go. If Varsoon's vig isn't proven eventually, powerlynch him.
I'm getting tired of not being treated like a human and there's a weird clique of players who are just positioning as scum for nonsensical reasons, without actually thinking through anything (more likely to come from scum!ProFlavor than scum!Varsoon rn imo). my WIM is through the floor so I'm probably gonna be more low energy and less obvtown than I was a few pages ago.

I don't think he's really done anything outside his scumrange (not anything particularly towny). Taly do you disagree? If I'm grossly misreading you here, help me see where I'm wrong. A lot your defence of yourself & probing of other slots has kind of skated around the centre; the way you do as scum (e.g. PYPX/Y).
> the pocketed comment & the thing wrt rereading playerlist movement just feels forced and stiff. I think there's a hesitation in Taly's tonality through the thread, so far, which I can't not notice.
> the comment about not feeling Kokichi's IC claim but townvibing it is absolutely bizarre. I can see this coming from someone who played SCM1 and liked the laissez-faire comedic entry to the thread but I literally can't see any reason to be townpinged by Kokichi lolclaiming IC and then lurking it out. This doesn't feel like critical reading so much as an agenda/TMI'd read and I think it's the kind of slip-up scum do make while still in RVS.

Someone already touched on this a bit (can’t remember who) but they were responding individually to posts at/about them in a way that made it easy to tell who was who.

I can see scum take the positions he's had (namely the vote/rationality onSTW128 133, 153 and the vote/unvote ontoUP2734 and 736), but, alongside my other iffy/scumlean reads, a lot of people don't agree.
ProFlavor,Michael Scott, andPintneed an individual ISO for me to get thoughts rolling on them.
Mephisto reread/UP2 Wagon Evaluation/ProFlavor/Michael Scott/Pintare the areas of sorting I'm looking to absolve in the next 2 days.STWvote, so can you explain how that read has evolve since 422?Their individual responses while still refusing to sign showed me that I was wrong. They’re not shying away from engagement either, which considering Shoshin’s pre-game claim that he’d have little time I believe scum would have used to try and stay under the radar.
It went back to null. That should have been obvious since I unvoted. Thinking back on it now, it’s slightly Towny that he wanted to work with STW on a common read, but not as Towny as it would be if they had initiated the interaction. STW gets Townier for it.And what were your thoughts onUP2/STW'sinteraction after you unvoted in 736? You stated an argument they were scum/town but you didn't follow up in a change of thought whenUP2clarified something to you.

I heard that the lurk-meta on Nico indicates scum therebut I don't really know if that's true or not.
Why do you feel the need to specifically ask for justification from people pressurevoting that slot? It's not a vanity wagon. It's a valid pressure wagon on a lurker.

Your commentary here lost me the moment you said"LAMISTy" (another stupid buzzword)
And this post became pointless the phrase AFTER that when you said:
"That might just be NAI though."
?)So, instead of commenting about someone's commentary on irrelevant posts; how about you talk to me about the wagons that you CAN get behind? Anyone you scumread?
Or, if you're so unsure how to sort, ask me questions that don't assume my reads.
If you're talking about me, then you're misreading my thoughts on you again.In post 1080, Mephistophanes 39 wrote: I’m not currently scumreading that slot but no, I do not at all get the townreads on it. Like how does anyone initially read us, as obvscum here?
If I ever thought you were"obvscum", my vote would be on you, and probably still on you tbh.
I waned people to explain their townreads on you early game because I couldn't see them. To my memoryAlchemistandT&Lwere the only people who helped absolve that for me.
