1) No I don't think you did much analysis. All you did was summarize what was happened. The few times you did "analyze" things, it was wishy washy. Example:
podium123456 wrote:LMP - If one of the votes on blaze was a scum vote, my gut says this is the one. but, it could mean nothing.
2) Those quotes show TDC/podium isn't possible because I don't think scum on D1 would have been trying to persuade others to hammer there teammate just to keep another townie from claiming. If your mate was put at L-1 and forced to claim, and then people started looking at another wagon, it would take a lot of guts/really strong scum play to actually say "no no, don't lynch that guy, this guy has already claimed, we should lynch him" knowing that you'd lose your partner on D1.
3) Alright, NOW I understand our confusion. Yes, when I said "for the 'hammer'" I meant ABR's attempt to hammer the replacement without a claim or even a chance to say anything. Not just so that I could hammer. Why would you think I'd vote ABR just to hammer him, that doesn't make sense.
4) I'm starting to see the light on Taz's claim being less likely to come from scum. But the only meta I have is the one game I've seen his town play. I don't know what his scum play looks like, for all I know it is the exact same as his town play. If you have Taz-scum meta I'd love to see a link. Otherwise knowing that he is playing the way he did once as town doesn't tell me that he is town unless I have the scum to contrast it to.
5) Your D1 play in regards to Dr.P wasn't following along, but pretty much everything after that does look like following along to me. You make a lot of summary posts where you point out things but then don't take hard stances on them.
6) I'm pointing out your summary posts because to me they are multiple examples of you making statements like you're on the sideline just pointing things out, but not taking a stance on them. You do it multiple times. The reason I'm "cherry picking" those is because I was quoting the parts of your ISO that looked scummy to me, since the whole purpose of my ISOs was to rank the remaining players.
7) "I don't have a scum read on anyone" is scummy because it plays into opportunistic scum. You get to sit back and see which way the wind is blowing, and no one can contradict you because you get to say "well, everyone looked scummy to me, I said so right here". In my experience playing this game, the most glaring scum tell I've found is people being opportunistic/wishy-washy. When I see statements like those, it immediately sends up a flag.
8) NO ONE WAS PUSHING FOR HIS LYNCH? Are you kidding me!? WOW! I'm simply amazed.
As for 371, I disagree completely with your assertion that watcher is weaker than a cop. Watchers are so powerful some have questioned if they should even be in the game. The ability to find friendly PRs, as well as catch scum is awesome, and if you have a claimed PR to watch, you're essentially guaranteed to find scum. I will assert that a watcher in a setup with no other PRs is weaker than a watcher with other PRs to watch.
