there.
a few of his posts felt p townie to me when i read them in the moment, I can't remember top of my head which ones.

mostly his appeal for someone to ask skitter to read him is ptownie imo cuz she is p good at reading for scum and I'm not sure scum!him would want that kind of scrutiny.

Really? I thought lurkers got executed at a higher than normal rate. I already said that I've been pressured for low content in many of my recent games. Maybe in the short term this is true, but in the long term (and by long term I mean like half of one game day), it definitely isn't.
It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!

I interpret "fluffy" to mean "not game-relevant". Is that not what you're meaning by it?

Because that post was a direct response to a question, so it's not like it can really be irrelevant. And I mean yeah, it's convenient when I'm scum. But it's also just the way I play so like, it isn't scummy in this case. This isn't something I can lie about and get away with.

It's undeniable that you scumread me. It's not undeniable that I'm scummy, because that's a subjective thing. I'm trying to understand what you're actually thinking, in part so I can respond and in part just so I can understand it and sort you. I don't think it's nitpicking, and I also find it weird that you think that scum-me would go "oh, Cakez has caught me, better nitpick and argue with him, that will definitely get him to change his mind!"

However... I'm fine with disengaging if you're getting sick of my questions. Because if you're sick of my questions, you're not going to give me helpful answers anyway.

S_S' s only scummy thing this game is that they are full of IIoa.
They aren't talking that much game related/useful/helpful things.
A lot of what they say is entirely useless and like sideline-y.
If that's the scum case, its weak but I do buy it.
Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.

There are things that I've done this game that I think are much more likely to come from town me than scum me, but no, I don't think I've broken out of my scumrange.

wrt the skitter thing, I 100% would have included her if I were scum. Not because I don't think she's scary, but because pointing people at a gamestate read that is similar to this one where she was actively a player in that game would have been asking skitter to shine a proctoscope so far up my ass she could see what I was eating.

I wouldn't have faked not knowing she was in the event as either alignment, because not paying attention to which 80 people are in the game isn't an AI thing in the first place so I have nothing to gain there.

Probably something similar, maybe a little less intense. But I would be genuinely doing it to understand, and not to change his mind.

Yes.
To expand, the best position to be in as scum ISN'T a UTR. It's a situation where there's someone loudly calling you scum that no one is listening to.

thanks for answering. i get the impression that you're one of those players that's the easiest to catch by VCA/wagon dynamics. if you're scum then your alignment will probably become more clear by lategame

Probably really dumb of me to admit this, but the best way to catch me is to get me really bored with the game. It's probably not a viable strat in TM, cause if I get bored here I'll just start popping into the other discord channels more often, but when I'm bored I'm liable to do dumb shit like abandon a perfectly solid fakeclaim to claim vig in a micro or take the two strongest town players who are vibing with each other really well into a 3p XLO or no kill gambit in order to confuse the shit out of the town, despite it risking an additional miselim. (All of those are things I've actually done in the past, and pooky was there for one of them.) As bored town I usually just disengage and stop solving.
