I agree with this.In post 23, Servant Berserker wrote:I’d argue that if your only qualifications come from a mechanical sense it is not a good idea to make you town leader.-

My NP is one of the strongest in the game, if used correctly and early. It's totally weaksauce if used late and arguably detrimental.In post 47, Servant Caster wrote:yes I think whoever thinks their NP would be very strong should volunteer for it.-

I agree with this partially. Aiming for the towniest voice who wants to be the master is best. By filtering out those who don't want to be master, we're left with town who want to be master and scum. For the scum who fail to get master, they have to justify later in the game why they wanted their NP filled up.In post 57, Servant Lancer wrote:I’m coming around to the idea that we should be aiming to hit town more than we care about the NP of whoever gets it.-

I do feel I'd be a good leader. I'm great at listening to other players and I won't have to fight to get my reads heard. I see so many stump games go sideways because ICs don't listen.In post 63, Servant Alter Ego wrote:

My noble phantasm involves me making judgments about what other people find useful. It's incredibly powerful if I use it right, but it's an action I don't take lightly. I might hold it to night 1 just to ensure I use it correctly.-

Both would depend on the utility of the target selected. Mine could be better or worse depending on various hypothetical game states. I can't guarantee mine would be better than a cop shot, no.In post 87, Servant Assassin wrote:

This isn't quite right. Each is situational. It's hard to compare the two was my point.In post 99, Servant Archer wrote:Saber seems to think that their ability would be about on par with Assassins, so if we are making a mech choice, I would rather Assassin over Saber.-

Can you quote these posts in the same post? I play on mobile so that's hard.In post 149, Servant Assassin wrote:I mostly dislike posts #85 and #100, the first being what the kids call LAMIST and the 2nd is simply that if you are town, you understand the pull that would draw one to wanting to become master. Even if me and Saber did not have strong mechanical reasons to want master, there is a pull that wants to get townread and make the most of your slot, and becoming master achieves that immediately. The "Why is that?" from Lancer basically should already be understood from a town perspective.-

I agree, which is why I don't claim anything that I can't back up or is extravagant. Second, I don't want to be a miselimination for overpromising and under delivering.In post 164, Servant Foreigner wrote:Scum in this situation can promise everything.

I don't find this true at all. Responses depend on personality.In post 194, Servant Caster wrote:when you're scum, and you get accused of being scum, you can brush it off as a lucky guess or a reaction test without merit - you don't feel the pressure and you can just fire back a question etc.
when you're scum and you get accused of being scum with your scum-teammate, it puts more fear into you that the person accusing actually knows what they are doing and has a tendency to cause paralysis in reacting.
when you're town and you get accused of being scum with someone else, you tend to at least ask if the read is associative or specific on behavior.-

Honestly, it's a bit of both. All abilities I'm not certain of but it rivals most abilities. I have already said too much about it though.In post 214, Servant Lancer wrote:And can consider possibilities for other slots feeling the same way, so a player who says they have a “duty” to go for master either thinks very highly of themselves as a player or has reason to believe their mech will outweigh all other mech abilities.-

Correct. There is something behind that process. Namely my role is likely useless by the time my NP charges up and it's great for town if used correctly. I have the confidence to believe I can.In post 216, Servant Lancer wrote:Even further than that, the word “duty” makes it sound like saber believes that town would be hurt by them not being selected as master, as opposed to a purely self-driven reason for wanting it. So there has to be something behind that thought process.
I kind of agree with archer’s 213 re: saber.-

I actually don't think Archer is scum. I feel like scum have a vested interest in ensuring I don't get to be the master so they can run over town. Yet, I feel the dynamic they are trying to push is me versus Archer and possibly Berserker. Town loses games when town engage in t v t fights and my duty is to prevent that, however I can. So while I don't think Berserker is the best choice, I want to make it abundantly clear I don't scumread Archer for it. Scum are likely in the sidelines.
@Alter Ego, Why do you feel I would be hard to work with?
Pedit, looking at that wall now.-

I was scumreading you because the only thing I remembered you doing was saying "I want master" and running out. Your recent posting has moved the needle a bit.In post 315, Servant Assassin wrote:Generally a lack of content would make one harder to sort. Unless you are implying that I can be sorted precisely because I have a lack of content, which in general would imply you scumread me. Could you elaborate on this position or else clarify what you mean?-

Well, you might be misreading my style. I don't beg for influence as either alignment generally. It's an awkward stance.In post 332, Servant Alter Ego wrote:You seem like someone whose styledoes not work well with mine and whose thinking is frequently at odds with how I operate. Nothing against you as a person, it's just...not what I'd prefer in a master.
As conftown, I back off and let town guide the thread only interjecting at particularly bad reasoning or eliminations or to clarify murky points.
That's not the stance I can take when pursuing to be conftown though.-

I agree with the last paragraph and I want to believe assassin is lying.In post 337, Servant Rider wrote:
Considering that a lot of these super abilities are probably ***** and that it would take 5 days/nights to charge, most of these abilities will probably not see usage without outside help.In post 329, Servant Archer wrote:It also seems strange to have a miller and a "miller-proof" cop - unless we also have a non-miller proof cop, and I don't know how likely it is that Cabd would give us multiple cops
And I don't really believe the miller claim and feel like it was mostly done in reaction to Assassin indicating he had a cop-like ability.-

Gut reads
Shielder - Can't remember him
Saber - Frustrated town
Archer - Strong town lean
Lancer - I waffle here. So gun to my head town but would eliminate as a compromise.
Rider - I know he's posting but I don't recall his content. Not sure if that's a me problem or a him problem as avatars are hard to tell apart.
Caster - Strong town lean.
Assassin - Gun to my head town. I have reservations about how he pursued being master.
Berserker - Moderate town. I don't know if it's jealousy or something nefarious over why he got more votes than me while facing much less questioning.
Ruler - Same as Rider.
Avenger - Weak town.
Moon Cancer - His flip reads scummy right now but I'll give his explanation a second read later when I am not stuck waiting on work.
Alter Ego - Strong town lean
Foreigner - Weak town
Beast - Weak town. It would be higher but major buddying concerns.-

That's a big issue I have with you being master. Aside from Assassin's obvious gripe, no one has questioned you. I think, assuming you're town, scum want to avoid giving town powerful roles, particularly mine.In post 473, Servant Berserker wrote:It’s not like I’m avoiding questions.

This has been the MO of a lot of recent scumgames. Do nothing and have us rip ourselves to shreds.In post 508, Servant Caster wrote:@Berserker.
Let's assume you're town. Your townreads are correct.
What do you suppose the scum team is trying to do?
Why have they chosen to not contest and allow you to just waltz into Town-Leadership and take Mastery without really putting up any kind of fight whatsoever?
That's why I don't automatically assume Beserker is scum pushed although I have psychological evidence to suggest such.-

@Berserker, Your townreads focus a fair amount on who agrees with you. I find this a significant problem for thread health. A good master/stump cannot be vulnerable to buddying. Every stump game town wins without toxic cheating replaceouts won because of the fact the stumps were open to criticism by town. I'm worried that is not the case because of your townread rational, particularly on Archer and Alter.-

I hate the argument by Ruler that Alter linked me to. It boils down to scum have nothing to gain by going against the grain. Scum have plenty to gain by going against the grain, if the grain doesn't suit them.
Any action can benefit town or scum. It's a question of intent and belief. I don't believe Moon's reads changed that quickly and his intent appears to be to throw mud and see what sticks.

@Archer, I think it's time to outright claim my NP given I won't likely be using it and it might explain the concern you had.
My NP is to shut down excessive stupid and pointless T v Ts by limiting the posting of one of the parties involved. Using it early ensures we get good focus and communication between town. It prevents scum from starting drama and trying to pin us against ourselves. Fighting amongst ourselves is how town lose games. I've seen it happen too many times over the years.
By the time my bar fills up, it's useless as the gamethrow would have already happened.
I felt it was my duty to act the way I did. Getting a cohesive, unassailable block is more important than 1 clear ever will be. I have a go to game for this proposition but proving it would hint at my identity.-

Yes. I'd prove how effective language control can be but citing the best example would be cheating so instead I'll point you to almost every stump game and why they turn toxic.In post 906, Servant Alter Ego wrote:...That was supposed to be the incredibly strong thing you wanted to be able to use?
Also look at the past iteration of this game, it was won based on impenetrable townblock not off 1 clear.-

That's why I didn't fight much when the trend was heading towards you versus when asassin wanted it solely bc mechanics. At first, I suspected it was a scum push but the people pushing you (by and large) weren't that scummy. Scum could have resigned to a town master and wanted me as a miselimination or just hated my power. The latter is less true with lurkbaity scum.In post 908, Servant Berserker wrote:I’d argue this game is already heading that direction.-

My goal was to find out why you were being the master instead of fighting you. I haven't answered that yet and that's partially because I don't know if and how my forced crumbs were perceived and it's hard to ask people what they see is what I meant to convey without telling them what I meant to convey.
