In post 374, Isis wrote: is a smothermate style puzzle, the few legal moves of black's pieces gives this away. So you want to look at nothing burger moves when it's a smothermate type puzzle, like Qb2. Qb2 does it. Black King can't move. If the knight moves, Kd2++. If the rook moves, the queen can move past it for h8++. If the f pawn captures, then light square diagonal checks become possible, and Qb7++

What is white's move after Qb2 Na3 ?

3s are bland and also don't really allow dynamics other than 3 suspect/suspectee pairs, I'll make it a 2-2

Kd2 is actually KxN (d2) if the knight moves to a3 but meant that for both legal moves of the black knight, you move the white king to d2 for checkmate whether that captures a piece or not

In post 331, DkKoba wrote:i think the fact that t3 is convinced theres only 2 scum is a townslip

with 9p and nightless and a flagbearer on both sides i would say that 3 scum is the most likely.
I wouldn't be that quick to call it a townslip. We don't know for sure there are 3.
In post 372, Isis wrote:The progression from 175-179 is pretty town indicative and difficult to emulate.

Virgo asks if Andante is experienced at mafia, which I also wondered and which most people probably wondered. Andante doesn't make two posts, but doesn't answer
As scum I would expect virgo to re-assert the question. Letting the question get dropped is "scummy" for being disingenuous (but at the tack of analysis I'm taking doesn't actually indicate a scum alignment).

Virgo continues reading and or thinking during the five minutes that Andante didn't address the question and comes up with a different conclusion, even though the experience data point never came in. This points a lot to deductive instead of inductive reasoning patterns, a buzzword the_worst uses about taking a stance where the evidence leads you vs. taking a stance, then making sure you can fit the evidence to align with it. The request for information would create a pause in a development of new stances for scum!virgo induction but is less consequential for town!Virgo's deductions since the reread of what Andante already posted can stand on its own meaning

It's hard to ask if someone is experienced as scum and not plan out what to do with either answer
You mean Virgo's thought in 179 based on the posts before? I think that's the strongest point they made but I don't see why scum can't do that.

I mean, dropping question is scummy for a reason. This just comes down to how aware scum!virgo is of the questions she asked and how careful she's being to not appear scummy

The last point makes sense. I don't townread virgo because of it but I'll drop the scumread UNVOTE:

I think you seem a little townie so far.

Besides t3 and besides me if you happen to feel that way, who do you think is the scummiest player in the game?

Reread a little if you feel up to it.
