I don't blame you, its exactly what I would have also done as scum in the PoE.

I'll only blame you if you flip green.

For one, you're continuing to engage with TSQ instead of considering the alignment-relative questions I've asked you.

For another, as I've stated, I don't like your history toward slots that have since flipped town. I have mapped and documented your stated stances and found that you shaded nearly every single dead town player.

You also went through great lengths to not give definite stances on FA and GiF, both of whom I believe to be your partners.

You've claimed not to believe the PoE, however you also switched your long-standing townread on GiF without an explanation. This, again, is consistent with what I consider to be the likely scumteam needing to distance as the PoE closes.

Bro ... I voted twice this game. A whole bunch of confirmed teammates of mine also voted them.

I feel like that's not true about FA and GiF? Didn't I scum read GiF like on day 2? I think so.

I'm happy to sling fuck yous with the best of them. You started that here as well but i have no problem with it. I've said nothing about you outside the context of this game, your doing so is over the line and i am asking you politely to stop.

Drixx
Kuribo

Pink Ball


Firebringer
Frozen Angel

Thestatusquo
Dunnstral


Klick
Save The Dragons

GuyInFreezer
Titus


Titus remains my top scum read for the reasons outlined earlier.
GuyInFreezer lands 2nd scummiest for the posts today about my response to them earlier in the day phase. The moment they posted "Sassy cab driver", anyone paying attention to their script PMs knew what that was. The faux outrage at me is yucky.
Save The Dragons is self evident I think? Let me know if your look at their ISO and skim in context and are confused.
Klick landed at the top of the bad colors mostly because I felt better about the rest of the POE

Firebringer and FA both are lean town in my mind for style reasons. I'm not super confident in my ability to read Firebringer, but my brain is catching something there that makes me think more likely town than not.

TSQ and Dunn are pretty firmly neutral to me. Nothing they've said pushing them one way or another. I have considered they might be milquetoast scum, but haven't had time to re-read and see what another pass does to my thinking on them.

The protocol does not just count votes. Players don't always, or even usually, state their reads (or supposed reads) as votes. What you say is just as significant, if not more significant, than where you vote.

Yes, but at no point in ranking GiF as one of the scummiest did you ever do anything about it. You didn't vote GiF, you stayed on Titus.

When was I supposed to go after GiF? The next day after Titus, Klick self hammered while I was vacationing, and then we have today. I already explained my thoughts on voting in ELO earlier, right?

To make it more explicit: I would vote FA or GiF without much convincing needed at this time. Dunn I would need to think about a little bit because what he's done today will make him look super bad if there's a tomorrow. STD I probably would prefer not to vote today.

Actually it has one in the town group (Me), and I can 100% guarantee you that one is correct. It has two from the rest of the POE in each of the middle and bottom groups.

That means that no matter what else, I had very good town reads on day 2, and I had nearly all or even all of the scum in my yellow/orange/red area. Sadly I also had Titus and Klick down there.

To be fair it's not Titus' rule i don't think. Pretty sure it's a pretty classic "tell" which means it's mostly useless if people know it exists.

Drixx I never wanted you to undergo an epic iso diving project, I just wanted you to spend a few minutes talking about stances you had already given. You are the one who went and said you needed to do the iso dives to understand the game or something, and you used that to delay giving your answer. Now you are saying you didn't have the time to do the iso dives.

Indeed, what I asked you to do was short quick and to the point: Explain why you were reading the poe in the order you were reading them. You are the one who, in response to that request, said that the game state required an iso dive. This was something I found nonsensical because you had already given the stances, you just hadn't provided reasons, so to me it looks like you are looking for the reasons after having decided your stances.

I'm sorry it felt that way. I'm pretty sure that I explained my stances though?

This game state is exceptionally frustrating for me. I'm sure for the rest of the uninformed also.

Plus our brains are hardwired at a primitive level to recognize and assign meaning to patterns. The rule of three appeals to that.

That's why I only solve games through gematria!
