LOL, mr activity himself calls me scum. Pot calling the kettle black. Considering how long I have been in the game and how long you have been, and how much information I have been willing to share compared to you I would be seriously embarrassed to post this. If you think low activity is something that a scumplayer would do, and you are town, then you should get your act together and start proving us that you are town.In post 321, Obscurity wrote:My usual theory is that the scum are among the most- and least-posting players. Since I know that I'm solidly town, that leaves Silver Bard as the least-poster and BBmolla as the most-poster.
VOTE: Silver Bard
What you need to remember, though, is that information from a successful lynch is good and all, but that you also really need info from a mislynch, even more so. If we mislynch obscurity we won't be able to make a step forward tomorrow.In post 328, The Silver Bard wrote:Some say an Obscurity lynch won’t provide info, this is wrong, if Obscurity is indeed scum it will give a lot of info regarding the ones who is pushing for a vig kill on Obscurity, in a game were we it is more likely that we don’t got a vig than it is that we do have one.
Well, a Obscurity lynch resulting in a townflip would also be something that can be analysed. Even though it would be easier for scum to blend in and go after such a target some of the talk regarding the vig option, the vote switching and in general peoples reasoning is something that I would look into.In post 330, TierShift wrote:What you need to remember, though, is that information from a successful lynch is good and all, but that you also really need info from a mislynch, even more so.

Other than that I like your post and I feel the same about 5 or 6/8 reads.
Am I the only one who is annoyed by the lack of creativity in finding unique expressions? (Hi mr pot, meet kettle/pot calling kettle black)
I find it helpful if I cannot read a player to do something totally nuts (but honest) as it helps me gather information on a player. For instance, in the original game, I was doggedly insistent that either Saki or Varsoon was scum and didn't let it go despite Varsoon doing an epic mindfuck on me. It resulted in a flawless victory (but for my getting vigged). What would you get from an obscurity townflip at the moment? I get absolutely nothing.In post 331, The Silver Bard wrote:Well, a Obscurity lynch resulting in a townflip would also be something that can be analysed.

Which reads do you disagree with?
I use these kinds of expressions to make myself understood, as english isn't my first language. Any kind of attempt at trying to "invent" my own expression, would probably only lead to the rest of you misunderstanding me.
Well you SC are my main townread, and why I think this is:In post 332, Stuffed Crust wrote:@Silverbard: Can you elaborate a bit on why you are town-reading the names you have provided? You are pretty thorough in your scum reads, but your town reads feel a bit understated. I'd like to know what reasons you have for town-reading those slots.
Also, I get bad vibes from Bulba's tunnel on me, but that's for some pretty obvious reasons,
I don't know how Mac feels, but I don't want to lynch outside of our scum pool.

I am not sure to be honest. But I would probably be mistrusting the ones advocating a lynch over a vig in this case, and probably give some towncredit to the ones who think that vigging him is a better option. Mainly because scum knows Obs alignment and getting us to waste a lynch on him, if he is town would be beneficial to them, in comparison to waiting and hoping for a possible vigkill. If he is scum on the other hand it would benefit scum to advocate waiting for the vig and hoping that a vig isn’t in this game, or choses to not shoot Obs. I know this is sort of WIFOMy, but this is what I would consider after a Obs flip.In post 334, TierShift wrote:What would you get from an obscurity townflip at the moment?

I have all reads the same except for mine (obviously), bulba's (for I think he is a tad more scummy than you depict him and I never had a townread on him anyway) and I'm not sure about Fu (not even in my own mind....)
Admittedly I'm not doing shit atmIn post 328, The Silver Bard wrote:BBmolla was also someone I initially had a townread on. This was because of his activity, I usually find activity to be something that I think is a townie thing to do, as it provides a lot of information to the thread. It is also easier to mess up as scum if you post a lot. I have seen scumplayers being very active before though, and if you are a good player you can pull it off. And even if I can’t find anything specific I don’t like about BBmolla’s post, I can’t find anything (else than activity) that makes me feel he is town. So I will move him back to the null-pile as well.
