Care to elaborate on what the 'dirty method' here refers to?

And would you consider it superior to the clean method where you try to get people to vote TemporalLich which also isn't really working, or is this an incredibly low bar for determining askitter's alignment?

In post 947, Kop wrote:If Dunn isn't exactly doing anything then he's dead weight, your scum reading him based on that, but if you voted for him, and others seen that vote, it might make people follow or accept that he needs pressure. Dunn can be in the frame of mind by reading the thread, seeing no votes on him, notices a few questions towards him but that's it, he can coast through because he knows that Oka is getting most of the attention. But as soon as Dunn sees a vote, and another person follows, he's going to actively have to do something, he's going to have to say something, but you were only lightly pressuring him and allowed him to go page after page after page and just sit on the sidelines whilst town are fighting with Oka
I like how you're making it *my* responsibility to get dunn to play (i.e. as opposed to pressuring him or leveling this complaint against the other several people who have noted that dunn is doing nothing)

Are you townreading OkaPoka?

On another note, what's your read on TemporalLich?
I'm not necessarily town reading Oka. I can't possibly see scum tunnelling as hard as Oka in regards to wanting Lich lynched. Scum will obviously want to manipulate the game state I agree, but I don't see them putting a huge marker on there back by going into a hard tunnel that is almost making it a trade. Then posturing themselves into a position where they are going to look elsewhere if he doesn't get his own way, i.e he will force through a lynch on Skitter, and myself (you quoted the post #669 I think it was or somewhere around that region). But I'm not town reading him either because he has actively said he plays better as scum so I don't know for sure whether he's town or scum, hes somewhere in the middle.

Lich I'm not 100% sure, I don't think he's scum based on his contradictions. I can't see scum playing so loosely. I know I mentioned about the contradictions and said when does that tell stop, but I wanted to see what Skitter thought about it and has she not taken any other perceiving angle on it apart from town play carefree. I've not got a interest in voting there at this time, unless something changes.

But if this tunnel continues and we aren't exactly finding some middle ground, and we're getting nearer deadline, something will need to happen because if one or both are still around in day two, day two could potentially be another day one, but this time there will be some flips to also add to the mix. But it's going to take a better case if people need convincing. I will reread the whole interaction between the pair of them in the mean time.
From my point of view, OkaPoka is the most likely deadline lynch; there aren't four players (other than OkaPoka) with a strong townread there. Apparently, your read of the situation is similar. But in #, you're scumreading skitter for not looking elsewhere for a compromise lynch? I can understand this behaviour if you think OkaPoka is strongly town, but not really in a case where you've been sort-of-on sort-of-off that wagon ever since you replaced in. FWIW, the reason you've given for townreading OkaPoka is stronger than the reason you've given for scumreading him, but you're acting like the two are identical; likewise, when you replaced in, there was a lot of shading but no intent. So I have the strong feeling that you a) want people to
think
you want OkaPoka lynched, but b) don't
actually
want OkaPoka lynched. That likely implies you're scum regardless of OkaPoka's alignment (as S/S, it's a great way to distance if he flips, and doesn't actually hurt him much; as S/T, you'd want to save a likely mislynch for a future day if you don't think scum are at real risk toDay).

I asked the question about Lich to see if you'd been trying to scumhunt anywhere other than your stated reads, and from your answer, I'm guessing you hadn't been. That's not good play as town (although not necessarily scum-indicative; some people aren't that good at town).

Your stated reasoning for this (#/#) is very similar to OkaPoka's, which hasn't convinced enough people to give a realistic chance of a lynch.

If you want to push this lynch, you'll need arguments that are strong enough to convince people; coasting on existing arguments is unlikely to make any progress.

You do realise that attempting to
manipulate
people to vote along with you is generally a really bad idea when you're town (and don't have investigative info)? It makes you look scummy, tends to backfire if people figure it out, and means that you don't have other people giving you a sanity check on your own reads.

(As a side note, did you expect the manipulation to succeed, and how good do you think you generally are at that sort of thing?)

I'm very good at being stubborn and the chances that would have worked is fairly close to zero

@cfj ehat do you think of dunn rn?

I will be around for another hour or so and then not till after deadline; i'm willing to change my vote to dunn (or maybe kop) but if it doesnt happen in the next hour i will be unable to change it again

(I thought that deadline was a little later, sorry)

I don't agree with everything that Dunnstral's posting, but most of what he has posted recently seems like it comes from a position of thought about the game. He's not being particularly useful, and doesn't have enough content for a strong townread, but it's not a slot I'm particularly alarmed about.

I'd be willing to deadline lynch Dunnstral if I couldn't get a lynch on a better option but not to vote there from a position of any confidence.

I think many of the points he's made against you are valid (e.g. the case against you is better than the case against TemporalLich). That said, it's not nearly a strong enough case to votepark without further explanation.

FWIW, unlike OkaPoka who's shown strong signs of tunnelling, I'm pretty sure Dunnstral isn't tunnelling (e.g. he was willing to attack OkaPoka even while OkaPoka was "attacking" you). Regardless of Dunnstral's alignment, I think his points are things he perceives as genuine scumtells (which can of course be dropped by townies on occasion). The main one is #/# which basically attacks you for pushing a read based on incorrect reasoning; I agree with him that the reasoning is incorrect, but also think it's not a scumtell because I suspect you thought the reasoning was correct at the time.
