like i don't really think you're objectively townie here, and i feel like i'm approaching this in good faith, so i'm not really sure why the conclusion is: i'm trying to scumread you and the fact that i don't townread you means that i'm scum
when i don't think you're objectively town
(like if i took a poll rn i don't think the majority of the game would be calling you that)
pedit ok if you're just going to devolve to that idk how you want me to get to a townread here
i don't have a ton of experience with you
it's not like i have a history of meta-reading you correctly
i don't think you've done an abundance of townie things thus far
i'm trying to have a dialogue here and am willing to talk to you abt it
if your conclusion is just: well i just should be townreading you
like idk why you think objectively i should be townreading you in particular, and you aren't really willing to talk to me abt this either, so idk what you want me to do hereShowHiatus once more.

after reviewing a recent csf scum game to see if my paradigm for reading her is still valid, it wasn't as valid as i thought, but i still see differences between that and this. still townreading, not as strong"I would prefer not to." --Herman Melville,Bartleby the Scrivener-

i've only played with you a few times but you've been a strong town presence in those games and other players' respect towards you clearly demonstrated that this impression was typical. as a result i respect your abilities. sorry bout itIn post 980, skitter30 wrote:

before doing this iso my thoughts were "i don't have strong feelings about this player, but i've seen a lot of scumreads on her - so it's weird that no one is doing much about it"
i think the pink response is scum indicative. it shows an overconcern with her own self perception to even bother with - "0.05% scum" means it's not a strong point and probably can't even be explained - just let this go unless your goal is discreditingIn post 184, Alianna wrote:In post 108, sheepsaysmeep wrote:
this stuff felt slightly wolf to me at surface level.In post 52, Alianna wrote: I'm not willing to townlean anyone on the basis of "has reads" but I guess I won't complain about it too much.
"I won't complain about it too much" just feels like a wolf perspective in a way that I could see alianna slipping up. either about some correct townreads or wanting to get townread herself for an active start
the idea of town complaining about some page 2 reads just doesnt make sense to me, even if u disagree with the reads.what I would expect town to do is like, evaluate implosion's alignment based on that, which doesn't happen;this post also assumes implosion town in a +0.05% wolf way
idk ive been back and forth on thisHow am I supposed to evaluate someone's alignment off "X and Y are towny" with no reasoning? There really wasn't much to sort in the post. Even though I had a guess about the reasoning, I didn't find it AI. I just disagreed with it.
How does it do that?
i don't think i need to explain why i think this is scummyIn post 208, Alianna wrote:

So we have a problem. One person is sus and there's 2-4 bad guys in the game.
Kind of makes me think there's scum in the quiet people.

The thought didn't cross my mind. I had a pre-existing strong scumread on the slot and the rep-in gave no reads in 24 hours. Of course I was going to tunnel the slot and cement my read. I was about as certain as I can be in a scumread which, to be fair, I'm not really all that good at this game. But it's pretty rare for me to have that level of confidence on day 1. I don't think giving Enchant more than 24 hours would have magically changed anything in any meaningful way. Them being cased by me was in no way stopping them from giving any actual content.In post 954, Aisa wrote: I think one thing I’m curious about,@implosion, is why you decided to make your case 24 hours after Enchant subbed in. Did you ever think about waiting a bit longer to see if Enchant would do something before accusing him? How certain were you that he was going to flip scum?
@skitter's post to me, I don't really have any comment. That way of looking at the wagon is sensible enough. I don't think I'm like interested at all in pushing skitter today at this point.
@skitter vs ceph: I agree with skitter that Ceph calling her push a reach is... well, not great. I think her explanation of "this is how I'd expect scum to join this wagon" is eminently a sensible explanation even if Ceph is town. Like, she's not saying that town can't do those things, she's saying that the combination of all of them is what she thinks scum would look like. Ceph's response to this is essentially "no, I had reasons to interact with the wagon in all those ways" and like, sure, but there being explanatory reasons that you can give doesn't invalidate the point.
I think it's reasonable for him to be annoyed (as he viscerally seems to be) over the "real conviction" argument. It'd be a bit weird if he wasn't. If he's scum I'd expect him to do it anyway because he'd probably feel caught-for-the-wrong-reasons.
The point about an emotional component is interesting because my immediate thought on that was that you don't need an emotional component to push someone. I was definitely fairly emotional in my push on the slot, though I don't know how strongly it comes through in my posting because of my playstyle. I think it does sort of come through in Ceph's posts to a minor degree but if Ceph is town then Ceph is telling the truth about being super disengaged yesterday and if that's the case then it'd make sense for his posts on the wagon to not really have an invested emotional component.
(Still have more to comment on but posting now since discussion is active)-

i don't think you need that either, but he said he had 'conviction' and in my mind that translated to an emotional component, so my thought process was: well, you're saying you had conviction (i.e. had this emotional component), but, like where is thatIn post 995, implosion wrote: The point about an emotional component is interesting because my immediate thought on that was that you don't need an emotional component to push someone.
