Speaking of that,
@Mod
Can we at least get a prod on Johnny going?
I'll PM him, but it won't count as a prod since he's on v/la until June 10.
Amid the pressure of great events, a general principle gives no help.
I don't want to vote Clasko. I'd have to see a pretty compelling case for anyone scum reading him since he's at the top of my town list atm.
I do lowkey suspect Johnny too but I can't justify a vote on him when he isn't even here.
GIF town reading five people does admittedly make no sense to do if he's scum. However, idk how he's reading Sang, Rock, Jumble, and me all as town when the four of us were all pointing fingers at each other.

That's completely understandable, this ultimately is just a game. Hopefully everything's going ok on your end.
Side note, I do think it's interesting (and kinda funny) that Sang and GIF are both extremely confident in their reads and skill at the game but ended up with completely different take aways on their town/scum reads.
I just noticed Sang's vote isn't being counted anymore even though they didn't unvote or change their vote. If it's just a mistake and they meant to keep their vote, then I'll put mine back. But I don't like that I was pressured to vote by two different people with opposing reads despite the fact that they themselves aren't voting.
This doesn't change my scum read on Rock since I still think they made some scummy/opportunistic posts. And Sang's explanation for their scum read on Rock makes sense to me. But I'm willing to change my stance here if more reads get explained.
Most likely putting my vote back on Rock as we near the end of Day 1 though since getting info from GIF is like pulling teeth, and he seems to be the only person town reading Rock.

GIF's town prolly.
Seems like a good plan to me. You TR a bunch of people and slip the other scum in there discretely. Then you can backtrack on a few reads and everyone will probably be fine with it because they'll assume that you were overconfident or something. If he is scum I wouldn't be surprised if he pulled the names out of a hat.

Hmm, guess it depends on how good his reasoning will be if he backtracks. But he can be town for now because why risk looking bad when voicing suspicion is more than enough to let him coast by 6 pages in, right? His scumpool seems fine to me on a second read so I doubt it's some some big brain play as scum.

Makes sense as a last resort vote but why would you rather sit out the day instead of committing to/pushing your scumreads?
Didn't check in yesterday, should have - that's on me.
@Rock:
At the time, my scum read/low neutrals were posting low information. Your flip felt more beneficial at that moment in time. Is there a chance you could flip green and I would receive backlash? Sure, but eliminations are part of the game and I didn't mind taking that gamble.
Besides, I can pressure with my vote AND my reads list. It felt logical to me.
Your questioning of me sitting the day out and not pushing my scum reads is well-founded. I'm not a very aggressive player. I'm more comfortable grouping people into town and choosing from a pool of
neutral/scum and asking the odd question now and then.
I don't mind changing my vote. I'm feeling slightly better about your slot for your questioning and calmness under pressure at E-2/E-1 although I stick by the fact that your red flip would have loosely cleared some people as I said in 130.
