I don’t know about manufactured. I can give you my feedback on what I see in those posts, or where I disagree rather, and you tell me what you think.In post 1721, Infinity 324 wrote:How about this, did any of the reasoning in 1644 feel manufactured to you?
PEdit: andres they totally different scenarios and I don't understand how to explain it better than I did. Me not having scumreads was an obvious point that was clear all game. The few points that VP felt manipulative weren't obvious and needed a reread. Re-evaluation is done in different ways by town and scum, one is towny and one is scummy.
You called VPB’s response in 625 manipulative. But I agree. VPB interpreted Tayl0r’s push on you to be weak. And whenever I see a bad case being made against me (particularly as Town), I don’t return with a TR, I go back and probe, to try and demonstrate that the reasoning is poor. So, it’s a legitimate question.
Your reaction to 650 is interesting, but I don’t know that I agree. Setting up a miselim of my slot would be arguing strongly that if you flip Town, I’m always Scum, or something of the sort. Because if I’m wrong about you, and he knows it, he has something to fall back on. Simply stating that they expected me to be more aggressive doesn’t seem to fall in the same category.
And about 891, yeah, I can see what you’re saying here. I will make a few points. One, Not_Mafia is extremely difficult to read. Nothing they do is ever decisively Towny or Scummy. So, it’s reasonable to suggest them as a compromise execution in a tight spot. However, and this is my second point, it’s not impossible to figure them out either. In fact, Not_Mafia is actually voting for DkKoba, and not themselves, and has made a few reads. And, I don’t think we find ourselves in a tight spot yet. So I’m not fully dismissing what you’re saying, but VPB isn’t really being Scummy for pushing something that is logical.
If you ask me, I don’t think Not_Mafia is Scum based on the limited content we have, but I wouldn’t bet the house on it.-

STOP being mean to my homie N_M, y'all. No worry milkman. I got your back.
Btw,
Since when did N1GER1A become a bad word??In post 611, Not_Mafia wrote:It's the same as posting the n word with a 1 instead of an I to circumvent the filter
Or did you mean N1GER?
Or maybe NE1THER??
I... "think".. this is town N_M??In post 621, Not_Mafia wrote:Taylor and geraint is town
I mean, it's not common that he says "town" aloud. I'm more used to him shouting "X is scum" repeatedly as either alignment, so this is kinda new to me. (Even when we were scum together once he refused to vote me, but I don't recall him calling me town either)

Unfortunately, I’m not going to come along for a DkKoba execution I don’t think. I came out on the overall positive side when I analyzed them in detail. I think I’m going to trust myself here.In post 1724, Marky Mark wrote:

I get the argument for their POE being off (I am less convinced by the Taylor argument of them playing differently to prior games), but I am not particularly convinced at this point that their POE being off => they are scum
If I were a gambling man, I would put dosh on there being 1+ scum in the lurker pool
As such, I am leaning towards either an elim on someone who has objectivley acted against town interests (ie DK) or someone in the lurker pool (ie DGB, NM or Geraint at a push).-

So just to follow up on 1727, if I had felt that your analysis of these posts that you highlighted was strong or spot on, then I wouldn’t be SR’ing you for the timing. But the fact that a lot of this doesn’t really offset the posts you did call Towny, and yet you come out with a Lean Scum on VPB after the fight between Tayl0r and VPB, coupled with the fact that you now seem to be backtracking... it doesn’t look good to me.In post 1727, Andresvmb wrote:

What if it’s a distancing tactic though? Don’t we have Scum anyway? Haha just trying to be optimistic here.In post 1732, VP Baltar wrote:Andres, you don't find it slightly weird that Taylor has called infinity scum since the start of this game and never waivered until the yeet was legit going to happen?

Hi A50Also, what is NM doing? Worst play I’ve ever seen.I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.I'm guessing you haven't read the game and probably never will? Why even sign up to play?-

Yeah I'm more jaded, town uses weak reasoning all the time. I don't think there's anything unusual about noticing that someone is playing different from a couple town games of theirs, and using that to form a read, despite it being bad play. (I had a null read on taylor at that point so) You agreeing with him makes me less confident tbf.In post 1727, Andresvmb wrote: You called VPB’s response in 625 manipulative. But I agree.

So, it’s a legitimate question.
It's a different type of thing, I thought that he could be setting up to go "ha I knew there was something off about andres" later in the game. It's also possible from a town perspective, but yeah.Your reaction to 650 is interesting, but I don’t know that I agree.

Ok makes sense. I do think VP would have to be playing really well to be scum here, and I can definitely see town motivation behind his posts, but there are a few things he's done that have felt off.And about 891, yeah, I can see what you’re saying here.

I felt the opposite, the reasons I had to TR VP's posts were somewhat weak and the scum points were stronger.In post 1736, Andresvmb wrote:So just to follow up on 1727, if I had felt that your analysis of these posts that you highlighted was strong or spot on, then I wouldn’t be SR’ing you for the timing.
