looks like he was trying to find a place an easy place to lay a vote down that might get some traction; it was like his one significant vote of the game and i don't think he does it on a partner out of nowhere (i.e. if schiavetto had been wagoned just then i would have thoguht it might be a distancing vote but i don't think i've ever really seen a distancing vote done in that way at that time before)

like i would be really surprised if that was a distancing vote - it makes a lot more sense to me as a 'hmmmm this looks like a semi-viable push to me rn let's see if i can get something going there' vote

Off the top of my head, this one
I feel like even in a towngame i should have something scummier

are you sorting me
Isis if you disagree with me that kinda proves my point. It's a post you'd make as scum to get townread because there's so much isis brain stuff in it that normally stays in your brain
ooooooh
i like this
"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
"Well, I..."
"What? Nothing? You would make the prince suffer over... nothing?"

PP has felt more useless than he usually does, to the point where I was pretty surprised to see that he had 144 posts.

Very roughly, my impression of his towngame is that he makes snarky comments that are sometimes productive or good points, and as scum he fades into the background more. He's been present, but not really doing much that feels like it will advance the game, aside from voting/campaigning for votes which is pretty easy for scum to do.
i think you have this like half-right, in that he does tend to fade into the background more as scum.
but (and this is a big but), he doesn't do the voting/campaigning for votes really as scum (or at the very least, doesn't have his heart in it and it's very going-through-the-motions-y). the fact that he is now is very +town imo

i don't think i've had a wrong read on penguin in like six months reading him this way

It wasn’t though? N_M as scum could have easily gotten away with hammering pooky via established lolhammer meta, so the fact that he didn’t is ++town especially given he’s been playing somewhat more seriously recently.

i don't really like implo's penguin push because it mostly just feels like, if you use calibrations that read PP like rgular players he sorts scum this game, which is like duh. 2714 feels like townpp

The wagons were on aaron (town), me (town), S_S (probably town)

If he's "playing more seriously" then that's all the more reason to think he wouldn't lolhammer? If he can be pretty damn sure town is dying that day without lolhammering... why would he want to get away with lolhammering pooky

at the very least it relies on either me or S_S being scum...

And even then it's only an argument that N_M is not groupscum with me or S_S.
