Scum simply feels deeper this game, no good instincts
Things that are already obvious but I want written down:
catboi/gm not being partners is kind of obvious
TheWorst (Goldfish)/cat.jpeg can never be partners, just because of what cat.jpeg said about goldfish's scumgame today (but cat.jpeg is probably just town so this is less important)
Wouldn't go for Bella unless alive in final three, but if all of the options look weird that slot can go under some reexamination
What else... dunno. I'm out of stuff to say
Most likely not changing my vote today

I tend to agree that if I'm right on Tidus, on the balance of probabilities I'm wrong on cat.
I'm a bit [username joke] on Lukewarm's contributions so far. I still find it jarring very few people are acknowledging Tidus' existence. It's like we're living in FFX-2.-

I have gotten to Tidus's rep in, and I have found an equally bad reason to think that Tidus is town as that reason that I thought that cat.jpeg was town. These are the posts that caught my attention.
Spoiler:
They both read as genuine curiosity to me that pings me as town.
Like, newbie scum, generally self conscious, sees something that they don't understand - I picture them seeking refuge in their PT where they would feel safe, and they can ask their partner, to avoid possibly looking dumb in the main thread.-

This is really obvious entrapment, sorry. I'm tempted to just vote Lukewarm but choosing an unpopular wagon feels like a great way for me to immediately be walked myself.-

Just for opinion clarification purposes: I wouldn't mind a Tidus elim today, and that's currently the only compromise elim I would be happy with. The townlean I had on that slot has been pretty thoroughly erased by this point, if my last few posts haven't made that clear.
What I really need is a thorough reread of the thread with a few things in mind, but that's not going to happen in the time remaining this Day phase. No, I will not be clarifying what those things are at this time.EFFORT IS NOT INDICATIVE OF ALIGNMENTLA during normal working and sleeping hours EST

Depends what you are calling their response. I immediately did not like 483, 485, 488 and was considering voting them -- but then 492.
This is not a bad point, and syugar's response to it was not great.In post 481, Lukewarm wrote:Not a big fan of the fact that the worst seems to be one of your top scum reads (they were in all three of your alternative scum team options), but you don't have what slot they are sorted out in your head.
I kinda doubt that scum would see me correctly calling out their read as fake there, and take an approach to attack me based on the time stamps of when I asked the question vs when I found the answer myself. If he is scum then he knows that that timeline is simply true. And I doubt that he would think that calling me out over the timeline would in any way sway me, or actually discredit my point in anyway to other people.
It makes more sense to me as coming from an OMGUSing townie.-

If you had Ash as your top scum read, and then carried over having the worst as one of your strongest scum reads, not having it straight that they were the same slot in that post, on the surface, made it look like you were not thinking as critically about the slot as would make sense for your top scum read.-

Still not really in the space to read up and digest in full. Tidus feels mainly like he's a player who isn't used to making social reads more than actually being scum and worst's confidence there and lack of nuance to the read is off-putting.
I'll move wherever to secure an elim.

as it is I'd have no problem flipping her now but that is less to do with having a confident scumread and more to do with not having patience for how they're acting toward me.-

I have finished my catch up.
VOTE: Tidus
The thing that I like about the ISO comment was a nice ping when I reached that point in the thread, but I did not realize that they literally fell off the face of the thread afterwards, which is definitely not a good look, and makes their in 462 worse.
I also have a worry that would be anti-town to voice currently if we were to start exploring alternative wagons.-
