i would dayvig titus if i could, not even remotely trying to use the wagons or vote patterns a divining tool other than this awkward defense of bell (bell should be null at best, but pooky/retti are right on meta. i thought he siteflaked but he's still in for defcon)
ik people had questions for me, will circle back in a sec
bear is almost certainly town and bell flipping town would not move that read in the slightest
too little pooky posting, doesn't really try and buddy bell (which is necessary if belltown/pookyscum), and noraa's posts are very town, don't have as much of an opinion on nancy's but this slot should never be voted in a million years

can you elaborate on those feelings? really curious why you're hesitant. trying to figure out how you're approaching this game because this doesn't seem to line up w/ other games i have spectated
There's too much omgus. Anyone who FoSes anyone else gets an automatic scumread back. Nothing feels like it's honest sorting. (Note: Honest means intellectually honest, not town/scum indicative).
I'm looking for someone with a deep, nuanced, possibly accurate read of the game to be my anchor. I haven't found it yet so I'm going through the game again.
I really like a Dunn scumread based on the vote history but I don't feel strong enough to case him.
this first line is gross. first off, there's an initial scumread before an omgus reaction, but you're treating them equally. second how on earth have you not been able to find a case of honest sorting this game lmfao
second line you are not looking hard enough because there have been many nuanced/deep reads this game: myself, retti, essooa, raya, bear hydra...most of which you've lumped in with the omgus reactions.
finally if you don't have an anchor testing reads/wagons is the way to get one and you're not doing that, not buying this

Anything is possible.
It's more likely scum!Bell would leave nothing.
It's worth noting no one interacted with what he did leave.
this is fundamentally untrue of anyone even remotely familiar with bell's play. he actively feels bad for his scumteam as he struggles with motivation and it is 100% up his alley to give one last attempt to cleanse his conscience
iirc someone also interpreted my "same shit on EM" comment on essooa as like, discrediting shade or to shut her down
it's definitely a bit denigrating but contextually if you go back and look i was trying to explain specifically to retti why i thought she was town, not trying to shout down her read to the game (which was on retti) or townread on vfp

Really? I wouldn't expect her to go against the grain this much as scum, regardless of Bell's alignment, really

why would you expect this lol, whiteknighting hoping they get flipped anyway is scum 101 and titus has watched day 1 scumflips sink scumteams completely
i'm not saying there isn't town incentive to defend slots, to be clear, but confused as to why you expect the opposite. titus going with the flow in absence of a strong read or lack of appetite for her read is common. she has given some explanation on the bell read/pointing to lack of anchor that i don't really buy

I get that but doing it here feels like trying to fight the tide, like just an impossible level of momentum where saying anything is pointless. I guess that's dumb of me. I think seeing the way the votes went on Bell and panicking is understandable from a town POV who doesn't know what's what but of course the wagonomics or whatever don't really mean anything for Bell's alignment. Some of the reasoning she's had is just bad but that's not always scum indicative, really. I liked her points on Raya. I guess really I'm just townreading the conviction. I probably need to think it over.

it's tough to capture in quotes, where sometimes those votes/wagons happen to wind up on scumreads anyway, but take a look at games like flavor leaf vs. hectic, where she happily joins a wagon suggested by FL, and warehouse-13. idk maybe someone in those games can give context b/c i don't really want to quote from games i was actually in
actually after reading this post i would 100% vig her lol

What caused your read change on me?
I’ve had a town read on you.
Your townread is conditional on Dunn because you want me to stop pushing my top scumreads of Cakez and Pooky and consolidate super early.
I am going to be blunt with you.
I am using the Dunn wagon to get reads. Such static reads aren't good. Use the wagon as a way to check your reads rather than supposing you're right. Let yourself and others solve the game over time.

why on earth would anyone have this conviction for bell town after even a single game of playing w/ bell lmfao

Yeah I was kind of getting cold feet thinkking "eh what if it's a pure coincidence and he's an AFK town PR" but I think I'm gonna yolo

Bell meta:
Looking at town bell, post count is massive and they start off strong as a heavy poster. Scum bell the posting is generally a bit lower and they still post decently heavy at the beginning but it seems to be less full of content.
This bell:
Very low post count and hasn't really done much content wise. The reason I'm still hesitant to say this is scum bell is because in their scum meta they still post a lot as scum early, it's just lacking content. I want to say bell was just honestly too busy and that's what prevented them from being able to post much. It is possible though that they were struggling to get into the game though as their scum meta shows, especially since I'm even struggling a lot to get into this game and that's not usual for me.
While he was actually posting, he fit that scum mould of posting but no content though. I think he's probably busy irl either way and not lying about that, but I think as town he'd be much more likely to power through it because he a genuine interest for the game.
it being scum given his hectic irl, which i am pretty sure is legitimate b/c siteflake, is very tenuous but i'm okay w/ it getting flipped. bell not engaging is a death sentence to a slot unless a seriously town wizard reps in.
