In post 1921, Something_Smart wrote:Well, for one, I don't think it's true that town are more likely to be stalling out a wagon on town than scum are. Especially if implosion is also town, scum might be positioned to whiteknight me, or they might be unable to switch to push me, or they might just want to encourage apathy and slow the game down.

And aside from that, it seems like most of the information you get from flipping one of me/implosion comes if the person flipped is scum... which leads me back to my point, which is that you should be trying to hit scum, not trying to get information. I don't agree that me/implosion are necessarily going to be the foci of D2 if we don't die today; Aaron has a bigger wagon than either of us right now! And I've accumulated a couple of pretty vehement defenders (Isis, skitter) who will probably be trying to block a wagon on me tomorrow. (Plus I might have a result.)

So your post reads as an excuse to try to drag the focus back onto me/implosion more than anything. I could even say it looks like you're complaining that your mis-exes are slipping away, though that's quite a reach. But I don't like it.
oh don't get me wrong

i am ABSOLUTELY trying to get the focus back on you/implosion
i very much am aiming to hit scum, and i think that flipping in the 2 of you yields the highest % of achieving that today

'gaining information' is a sort of worst case 'what do we still get if this does hit town' kinda thing

and that shady ass remark about seeing 'misexes slip away' is bullshit and you know it

its only in a world of exactly scum!sechyd + scum!AFF that I would have to be worried about that -> yeet aaron today, get focus back onto my 'misexes' tomorrow

so yeah

Oh I know. I'm not saying you're trying to be subtle or sneaky about it. I'm just saying your arguments for doing so are terrible and may not be your true reasons.
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've been pushing your slot for the majority of this day, my other head has been on Implo for a while and when we see attention go away from our desired pushes, we try to get back to that


yeah, absolutely terrible argumentation

imagine someone trying to push their scumreads right

And I mean I admitted this was a stretch. It's not impossible, though it is unlikely. It doesn't require you to be scum with Aaron; I'm a claimed tracker, and leaving me alive is kinda dangerous for scum.

I'm trying to ask you why you think I have a high chance of flipping scum when two separate slots are very confident that I'm town.

This feels very... equivocate-y. Your explanation in 1918 was all about getting information, not about us being the most likely scum. And like, 1918 is really terrible logic. But beyond that the relevant thing here is it feels like you're trying to paint this picture where both me and S_S eventually being flipped is inevitable because of the info we'd get and

Like. there was a huge isis wagon? and a big-ass aaron wagon right now? what happened to those???? why is the information from those on a different level from the information from mine and S_S's? Is it just some excuse to claim that the people your heads scumread are the people that should die anyway?

I can't tell if this is just some kind of sechyd thinking themselves into a hole or if it's scum manufacturing logic to sound like they have a coherent logic. Or if there's just some step to the logic I'm missing.

Why not isis? She improved a lot over the day. It was a good early wagon.
Why not aaron? Everyone can push there if they like. I don't see it.

I prefer sticking to the slots my other head and I are *actually* scumreading

Assume I'm scum. Why are Isis and skitter so confidently wrong about me?

like, sure. but i could make an equally valid argument that if we go on aaron then we have not only the usefulness of looking at how his wagon sprang up out of nowhere, but also the early wagon on him and how it competed with the isis wagon, if he flips town.

It just feels fully arbitrary.
