I have a reason for voting pooky though.
It's not enough to keep saying that I sound like that game if you have no town games of mine that you're comparing it to.

because i don’t think i’ve actually been particularly town so far

Or like I’m approaching this in a very similar way to how I’d approach it as scum, I guess

vanders is literally playing exactly as opportunistically as he did in UGC lmao? Like one incredibly blatant thing he did there was just put people to like E-1 or E-2 when they were viable for no reason, aka exactly what he just did to pooky here

No face is like, incredibly null off posting and that almost stretches into concerning if the hectic!alt assumption is correct

Norwee like could be scum but also could not be, he’s kind of concerningly fluffy
okay can i ask who you townread right now...? who isn't concerning?

Pooky didn't really solve in matrix decipher hmm

They usually solve as town though

VOTE: mena PoE baybee

(Also jingle voting pooky is a bit worrying for me so this is probably correct, mena coming in and being upset after the soul circle thing is scummy)

I think you're probably giving this read more strength than you should, it's very easy to be biased by things like this, but it's still a good reason to TR someone
maybe i am but i just feel through playing a lot of games w him i've grown to just Know what his towngame is, maybe i need a scumgame to be thrown out of the saddle but for now i'm good w townreading no face

this is just default townreading someone all the time lol
if he was being scummy i'm going to scumread him but.. he's not this game? he is Towny, like, idk, he's not some perfect player where town always looks like scum and i have faith that WHen That Day Comes i will be able to go to myself, "oh weird, this isn't the logic/process i'd expect, huh, what's up with this" and go from there but i've not been pinged to do that at all this game

Substantiate any actual reason for it based on his play so far
I think his case against no face is extremely weird, it just feels like a retaliation.
I don't understand why pooky thinks no face has to be scum for POEing pooky as scum and not town with an incorrect PoE. There was a comment in there that was something like "notice how no face is leaving himself out of his own suspect list" or something like that that I thought was very scummy.

I think pooky has done very little to try to solve the game, I think the only thing pooky has going for him is that he is imo blatantly not trying to look good, but this is also different from mystic bears in the coalition game where that slot was pretty obviously town.
Who cares? Like if pooky wanted to fabricate a case on no face to really push him as a mislim he’d prob just come up with actual solid reasons?

And pooky hardly ever does much to try and solve the game it’s why he’s an annoyingly difficult slot to solve, but that doesn’t actually make him scum, that’s just a feature of how he plays
If pooky is a player who doesn't solve games and frequently gives poor reasons for accusations, then sure, what you're saying is fair.

But I'm not reading someone giving bad reasons on a retaliated scum read as a reason to think they're town.
Yes, but he’s also decently accurate even if the stated reasoning isn’t there or is meh

And it’s not that I’m saying I have a locktown read on pooky

I’m saying this wagon is trash because there’s no reason to suspect pooky over multiple others in the 6p pool, and therefore the incredible ease with which he arrived at e-1 WITHOUT good reasons is a good reason to think now that he’s town

it's I town-read everyone else for ___, ____, ____, and _____

It leaves one person out of the equation, notably that's himself.

It's an effective strategy for pushing mis-elims on d1 because you create a coalition/support by handing out townreads to get people to help you, and you create a mutual target for everyone to go after.

It's also incredibly difficult for me to defend against because he's not actually scum-reading me for anything, so there's nothing for me to refute

then tomm after I'm flipped town he will "go back" to his townreads and "think" about where he went wrong.
But why can't I just be town who townreads the other 4?_?
Because you're not really sorting my slot and I understand this type of push because I use it a lot.

see the scum in the 6 pool is a shark.

it has to kill and push because sharks either swim or they sink.

I'm fairly sure you had this line of attack planned out when you put us in this pool together and I am very honored you would come at me this way <3

But this is still a terrible plan, we are giving the decision to a pool that contains a high % of scum that is disincentivized to bus.
It is about the best way to guarantee we miskill today, and the "information" we get from it will likely be that the people in the small pool were wrong about the town we just killed.
