Hey now, keep it classy
If my reads were settled and I was "so ready to lynch" I would have placed a vote.

don't BoP my reads initially, develop your own reads and then show them to me, then when you've shown me the case sheep me if I still disagree.

I agree that urap is probably town and I'll admit my thought process is a bit biased towards Paragon Game. My argument is that we flip shoshin and then if she flips scum, then RC is also scum. RC doesn't set up a game state in which both lurkers look very bad in the scenario that he is town.
If Shoshin flips town, then I think scum is both lurkers yesterday.
Yeah. I wanna say it's RC and Shoshin over anyone else. Shoshins early post are strangely antagonistic, IMO, and RC drops his scum read on her far too easily.
Also RC is weirdly pushing Saudade right now without any real actual push - he's just trying to get on Saudades nerves, it looks like, without actually pushing him as scum.
This especially - and the fact that she said it was a joke later - is pinging me. I doubt it's actually a joke in any sense of the word, it foreshadows the upcoming fight quite well, almost as if it is planned, and Shoshin can call out RC for being scummy because she knows he is scum.
Also RC seems to be very much trying to shirk responsibility for his reads, which isn't something I expect him to do - usually I expect him to attempt to solo carry the game
YOU CANNOT BUDDY ME AS SCUM IN A 5P SETUP WHERE I'M JUST GOING TO LEAD ON YOUR BUDDY.
This is over the top

This is over the top and an attempt at buddying
In post 58, Shoshin wrote:The fact RC's pushing my lynch means he's scum, period. He straight-up told me he felt uncomfortable pushing my lynch ever because he'd feel too bad about mislynching me, and that he'd replace out before pushing my lynch. This is scum RC.
Feels weird the way he had to go out of his way to say "town wins" when the only purpose of this post is to say that he doesn't want the paragons to win
None of Shoshins early posts read as town really at all. Or natural, even. Like every single one of them reads like this fight was planned, she's intentionally going over the top, and she has no intention of actually lynching RC. Both these players are supposedly (I don't know shoshin, so I'm not sure on her) strong enough to know you have to have an actual argument and neither of them work to build this.
RC knows he keeps a read after a 1v1 so he's trying to fake holding it here. Why say it, though? Why call her scum? Why unvote at all? Remember that RC voted Shoshin before shoshin voted RC. It's not like RCs vote is a response to Shoshin at all. He really doesn't have a reason to invite here
