I doubt I would townread partner-gamma here, that seems pretty risky given gamma's mixed scum record and how awkward it would be if I had to defend himIn post 2924, Something_Smart wrote:gamma town dann town shea town. based on some other people's stated reads these seem to beIn post 2919, Datisi wrote:s_s, give me three of your strongest reads in either directionveryout of touch, but that's hardly surprising.

if I were scum I would probably know the answer to this alreadyIn post 2981, Something_Smart wrote:Because you're a shining beacon of towniness, or because you made a claim I didn't see?In post 2966, humaneatingmonkey wrote:honestly i feel like i should have died last night and the fact im still alive makes me think i have townread scum
not sure I would be this blunt about my scum thought processes if I am currently experiencing them as I talk about itIn post 3075, Something_Smart wrote:Don't do that. As scum I constantly angle around "there's no way townie X gets out of being eliminated here" and I constantly get surprised by it. And I love it when townies do this because a lot of the time the town will just shrug their shoulders and go along with it.
Pedit: @shea
maybe wouldn't have come up with this as scum? maybe would have. not sureIn post 3126, Something_Smart wrote:I didn't have an immediate answer to this. But I'm pretty sure the answer is that you have a rare combination of motivation and open-mindedness that makes you valuable lategame if town. And I'm not inordinately scared of your scumgame-- it's good, but not something a competent town can't handle especially if we can take down your buddies first.In post 3122, Datisi wrote:why not
This is an incredibly brazen towncred-grab. I'm not sure I'd have the guts to ask this as scum. I expected more backlash than I got; maybe people misunderstood me.In post 3833, Something_Smart wrote:Serious question, but you don't have to answer: what vote from me would make you townread me the most/scumread me the least?In post 3826, GuiltyLion wrote:however I'd also like to see where some of the bad vote slots (obscure, DV, S_S, marci, xofelf replacement) go while the wagons are still fairly tied up
This is pretty deep stuff, it shows a vested interest in getting on the same page as GL. My response as scum is likely more terse.In post 3922, Something_Smart wrote:Certainly in some cases, I could demonstrate commitment by remaining flexible, no? I think I'm fine with starting on obscure, but if something else came up that looked more promising, I would think that I could show a desire to eliminate scum more by switching than by stubbornly staying.In post 3835, GuiltyLion wrote:what I'm looking for mainly is some type of commitment to a wagon that you think has a chance of happening
whether that's obscure, TSQ, or somebody else specifically is less material to whether I understand who you think is the best flip for the game and why, and whether you're taking action to make that happen
I know you indicated a townread on Shea, so for me it's like - would you vote obscure? Why or why not? If not, why are you seemingly ok with him being at risk of lim and not pushing any alternatives that you think are better?
in a realistic sense voting obscure and then obscure flipping red would go a decent way towards weakening my scumread. I just won't have any reason to townread you until I can start to believe that you are trying to eliminate mafia
There are of course complicating factors. We still have almost a week, by solidifying wagons on objectively LHF slots we do a lot to stifle pushes against players who might otherwise be harder to catch. That's generally why I'm reticent with my vote until late-ish in the day. I am getting the feeling that some people think we are in the "determining major wagons" phase and some people think we are in the "consolidating on major wagons" phase, and the latter are annoyed that the former are not consolidating.
I would vote obscure, but I think that could end up being pretty detrimental if he's town, and while I don't have any particular reason to believe that he is, the numbers say it's likely. (Plus, in my experience, if town doesn't have a clear direction after an early scumflip, they're likely to get a lot of misses. Might not hold as much if it was a vig shot, but I know the leading wagon is on town, at least.)
Real talk I don't think I would have remembered the answer to this as scum so I probably would have just said "no"In post 3950, Something_Smart wrote:A little.In post 3943, humaneatingmonkey wrote:were you townreading me
That actually may not be true, but it might be. Or I might have exaggerated the read when I went back to check.
If this is helpful I can keep doing it
