IV drops in
336, clearly has only caught up enough to have worked out they had three votes and that's it. They park a vote on Datsi (
338), well outside of RVS, but four hours later they indicate they don't have a reads list
395.
I would be interested for someone to do a meta dive on all their posts prior to
570. The ones with anything even approaching substance are all but non-existent, and I have serious doubts about the ones that claim to have substance.
Before we get into 570, I would also like to make a brief detour to point out that my read on IV in
526 is basically the same read that Datisi gives in
553. If you don't like my vote, don't like theirs either. Which you won't do, obviously, because Datisi is basically town lock for everyone at this point.
So then
570.

iv is likely scum. the fact that he hasn't returned from his catching up yet from yesterday (and that catchup was like 5 pages with non-explained reads? lol) is indicative that he doesn't want to be in this game. and as much as it pains me to say, if iv is red, aristeia is somewhat likely to be a partner. mainly because her reads seem to be kind of consensus-y/yeetbaity players, but there's absolutely no mention of iv anywhere, who i think would fit that description rn. her last game with me made me think she's anti bus, so i could see her be trying to divert attention from iv here.
okay this is the basis for my push?
Datisi idk wtf ur doing here I hope you don’t actually believe this
I have been playing this game for less than 24 hours phoneposting and I am like 20+ pages behind or whatever
Granted the late start was my fault but I don’t see how You could think I’m just scum here
My catch was done in the middle of the workday which I don’t really have a real break I’m taking time out to play this
If you MUST know what I was doing last night I am with my partner celebrating a holiday and I don’t really want to be playing mafiascum during that
Was I seriously about to die because I hadn’t posted for like 16 hours?? Hello what the fuck Datisi? And how did people agree with that?
I swear dogshit like this makes me want to go back into hiatus I don’t have like 2 hours every day to devote to this and I shouldn’t have to explain myself every time I go away for a very reasonable amount of time
Datisi you are scum here trying to push a fast one on me while I am still in catchup more or town doing idk what maybe trying to tilt me into this. like I’d like to think Town gou isn’t this bad how can you possibly show so much confidence in this read just based on that. I hope you have a great explanation for this or I am vote parking you the rest of the game
actually one of the most ridiculous flashwagons I have seen in my life
Margot is also scum here or needs to go back to Newbie queue for intentionally putting me at E1 this early on AND asking for a claim especially with NM in the game but maybe not even
I will put a little bit of time into this tonight but if I’m going to get killed because im not poring over this for hours a day like cmon that’s just ridiculous
So first off, it isn't actually true that it had been less than 24 hours. This post was made
just over
24 hours after the last one. I felt like my autism was probably showing a bit too much to hold onto this as a tell, but I really didn't like it at the time. Less than 24 hours works better for AtE purposes than "24 hours ago" imo, so it was a slight scum tell. Especially when the gap between the posts previous and the posts made in this block was just over 18 hours, and in the post he says it had been 16. Like, minor inconsistencies, but it just got into my head a bit that there were enough little lies that had just enough of an emotional justification to be indicative of something.
Aside from anything else, though, this is a wild post to come from someone who has refused to give reads given the string of posts from
395 to
416, in which he spends over 20 minutes posting on this forum, responding to other people's play and giving slight reads one way or the other. This part here, "Datisi you are scum here trying to push a fast one on me while I am still in catchup more or town doing idk what maybe trying to tilt me into this." is particularly telling, imo. The only adequate response to Datisi would be reads. Instead, they get mad about Datisi expecting any reads in the first place.
Why? Because they have no reads. Because they know who scum is, and because if you are Town and have 20 minutes to read through a game, your priority is finding scum, and if you are Scum and have 20 minutes to read through a game, your priority is making sure everyone thinks you are Town.
That's why there are so many posts in that 20 minute window.
That's why the posts are full of inane nonsense.
That's why 24 hours after entering the game properly, IV still had no real reads, and had instead spent what little time he had on the forums to try and endear himself to other players rather than read people's alignment.
IV is scum. I throw the book straight at his face and say good day.
VOTE: IV
