I think he wanted two wagons instead of one, and then realized a vote was not where he initially thought. And then he made som insinuation that YYR was initiating stupid discussion by asking the thingy that was the thingy about you. I don't know why he thought it was stupid. And I don't know if I intepreted it correctly (he will hopefully shed more light on it himself). I like punctuation. And I miss my nickname, but Dys is cool.^^
I have no answer to that just now.- Dyslexicon

So Keely. It's pretty obvious that it's either Wingnuts or you dying today. You should join the wagaruts wagon. Blair found him.
Dys has mysterious reasons for doing things and it's weird.
I've played with someone I call Keely on another site, and I wonder if it's the same person, but I kind of doubt it from posting style. Keely. I like to write it.
And yes, some reasons are half mysterious to me as well. Why, brain, why?- Dyslexicon

Cheetory, do you think this clarification is more likely to come from townJohnny or scumJohnny?
Pretend Cheetos have a direct answer. Then what?
1) a discussion about how useless meta is
2) a discussion of Johnny's past meta
3) a throwaway answer that leads nowhere
4) someone calls it dumb
^my best guess. I can't imagine any useful scumhunting coming from that question
But he didn't have a direct answer. Also, I don't think "useful scumhunting" looks like something in particular. You never know what can come out of something, but I was never the organized type.
@Johnny, my gut is having weird feelings on you. Tell me a story, please? What are you seeing in these early posts? Any spark, inspiration?- Dyslexicon

Blair- Why do you have a slight town read on Droog? I understand the null, but don't see anything townish yet. I know there are some people that like to townhunt rather than scumhunt early game. Is that how you usually play?
In post 36, Dyslexicon wrote:Also, I don't think "useful scumhunting" looks like something in particular
This looks like a useful defense for later in the game. What made you vote Cheetory?
Did Thor ever explain his town read of droog?
What do you mean by "useful defense"? It's how I view the game, basically. I voted Cheetory a bit because he was very calm and I was curious to why, and if more votes/larger wagon would get some kind of stuff happening, and a bit because why not.

And then the quickhammer happened. -_-
So far, Blair is making a lot of sense to me. Not particularly alignemnt indicative, but how she doesn't explain some things or is more in the grey area of thing, but it still reads like a comprehensive town mindset to me. It's rather vague, but it's what I got on her.
YYR is indeed confusing me too (don't remember who said this, possibly Blair). He insisted on Cheetory saying Johnny was scummy (?) while I honestly read it more as a non answer as Cheetory claimed. He's dead now though. But yeah, didn't get that.
Thor I'm not reading as town, not reading as much of anything as of yet. Kind of forces on a lot of question and logic that seems too black and white. I could see it as a tactic to trip town up (if he's scum) cause town says a lot of weird things (at least in my experience). Past the style I find it hard to read alignment, buuuut there's more to be read.
That's the people that stood out most to me right now. Day 2, apparently.- Dyslexicon

What I remember.
@wguerts, if you are town make sure to use the rest of the day to gain reads from the situation you're in. Don't self vote.
@Phillammon, is lynching wgeurts policy or a normal lynch to you? You're saying both things after each other in the same post. You say you're down with the policy lynch, and then reasoning for it being scummy.
I beg to differ on your read of Thor. I don't think he's explain everything, he actually refused to.
I agree with what you're saying about having a slight bias for people that seem to have similar thought processes. For me, I have an easier time to see where Blair is coming from.
About your read on Blair, can you specify in your own words what statements are "odd" to you?
About your read on me, what thing is the minor town thing and what is the minor scum thing?
@Thor, You didn't explain your initial "did you just claim scum?" (paraphrasing) thing with Cheetory? I was wuut on that. If the leap is so logical you should have no trouble explaining it. Also, we have PLENTY of time today to explain why Blair is so scummy, since that is what you believe. Why wait for the wgeurts lynch? I don't like how you're avoiding questions.
@Droog, why do you read Thor as town?
@Acryon, can you explain the relations you mentioned in more depth? The things about if X is scum Y is town and so on?- Dyslexicon

In post 150, Phillammon wrote:YYR's interaction with Johnny seemed to be confined to the discussion of Johnny's meta, which I'm not a fan of. It might just be me being dense, but I don't see YYR so much as insinuating that Johnny is scum until #99, which was after the flip, and as I said, the specific wording of that post had me a bit on edge. There are repeated references to scumJohnny in YYRs ISO, but mostly in relation to Cheetory's (scarily accurate) read, rather than any of his own, as far as I can tell (and, as mentioned earlier, with regards to the clarification and meta thereupon).
That is interesting, and so I'm saying that.

I made a mistake and no I do not think I did well in Lynching him, we are lucky beyond belief that he hit the biggest opponent. I'm starting to doubt Blairs townness so I'm going to VOTE: Blair and give reasons later.
She was your only read and town a bit ago. Please make sure to explain.

To be honest it is a lot of gut, but ultimately I felt the exchange between the two of them indicated that they are not scum together.
Alright. Not particularly satisfying for making such a claim. I don't see the necessity of making the claim what so ever. You also said if wgeurts is scum Blair and Thor is town, is that also gut?

Why wait for the wgeurts lynch? I don't like how you're avoiding questions.
1. I have been asked this before. My answer was (paraphrased) as follows; I answered that reasoning in the very post that I made the comment you are asking about. Please go back and read that post again. If you still don't understand the logic then come back and ask me about it and I will explain it, but I have already supplied that informationa nd will answer it by quoting it back to you.
That offer and answer stands.
2. I have actively been explaining why Blair is scummy...have you missed all of that?
3. You are saying I am avoiding questions, I will counter with the idea that you are avoiding reading posts, because literally both things you're complaining about I could answer with quotes. Ask me about them again and act bewildered like I haven't answered them and I promise to do so...and to mock your reading comprehension. Or go and read my last few posts today and the post where I made the 'claim scum' comment and notice that I've already done both of these. Your call.
@Droog - I actually though that your 'Thor read on someone else' thing was a joke like 'I could learn something if Thor had a read on someone else'. I think my internal joke was funnier than yours.
1. And I still don't get it. I don't get why it's so logical to assume Cheetory was claiming scum. To me it is not. I think it should be clear that I don't understand it, and I'm asking you to try and explain it in a different way than what you have. I don't see why you're so opposed to this, and I don't think it's too much to ask.
2. You hadn't when I posted my post the first time (and it disappeared) and I purposefully didn't catch up on the posts in the meantime because I didn't want to lose my train of thoughts or confuzzle them with new trains. I have a lot of trains. What you had said at that point was that Blair said something scummy and that there was PLENTY of time after the wgeurts lynch to explain that, in which I don't at all see why you would wait until after the wgeurts lynch. You did make claim about Blair afterwards, none of them which I felt pointed towards any alignment, just that you don't get each other's "logic" (and I'm totally writing as I remember things and preceive things, and I'm totally going to keep doing that :3). Acryon had more actual points towrads Blair imo (which are things I'm going to revisit soon).
3. You are right that I didn't read your very last posts. Nothing in Cheetory's post you pointed out was a scum claim, and I would like you to explain this in another way than you already have. Obviously, I'm not understanding where you're coming from with a couple of things. To me it would be great to get it explained in a different way if possible instead of you being snarky about it. I'm not the only one wondering. If you still feel like you've been as obvious as you can feel free to quote it again, that will help too. I'm trying to get where you're coming from, that's why I bother at all.
In post 162, Phillammon wrote:Droog, I was so sure that that was going to be a haiku from the formatting.
Blair, I'm in agreement with a policy lynch on wgeurts, but ON TOP OF THAT I have a scum read on him, and a much stronger one than I have on anyone else. The quickhammer is the reason for the policy lynch, and basically every post after that is my reason for the scumread.
Alright. I agree that wgeurts looks scummier now that he voted Blair after a lot of people had talked about Blair being scummy. Reads to me as saving his own skin (or trying to). Assuming Blair is town, which I'm inclined to think.
I'm still puzzled by the move to quickhammer though. As scum. But as town as well. Eh.

I never claimed the reasoning was strong and only even provided the reasoning because I was asked to. If I wanted to get answers about it I would have already been asking you questions, I don't think I come across as shy. We are in a different state of the game than when I expressed the desire to lynch you, and though I don't find you townish I also don't see you as a top lynch option today.
Why are you so eager to discuss this?
I'm totally trying to imagine you shy.^^
I'm eager to discuss this, because I'm eager to interact with you. You're one of my higher suspicions right now. Interaction helps, to me, and also hearing reasoning for what people think about me and my alignemnt. You don't think I should be eager? I think I should.
I also have another question for you: Do you think Cheetory would be a likely lynch if the quickhammer hadn't happened?
In post 168, droog wrote:
thor made an interesting choice by holding the cheetos wagon at L-1
lots of players would have backed off, especially after cheetory started posting longform
it would have been very easy to back off the lynch and suck up town credit for it
My response to this would be that I think Thor would do that as any alignemnt. (Which he confirmed). I think his forceful logic (in lack of a better description) isn't indicative of his alignment. My issue with him is where he focuses his energy, and also a thing that Johnny said, namely this:
In post 54, JohnnyFarrar wrote:There was equal opportunity to get on Wagbutts and you, I wanted to know why she elected to vote for the player that's not here. My guess was she didn't vote you because you're actually here to defend yourself.
This is where I scumread Dys, townread YYR,and say I would townread Thor if I didn't know better.
I remember this gave me feels of Johnny and Thor possibly being scum together when I read it, and now Johnny has flipped scum. This is why I'm giving Thor dah attention. I've seen scum distance (not really distancing, maybe rather jokingly avoiding a read) in this manner before. It jumped out to me in any case, even before Johnny flipped.- Dyslexicon

I'm not buying the bolded part. Unless you've never, ever played mafia before, the theory should be the same wherever you played. Just because you're new on this forum isn't an excuse to quickhammer.
VOTE: wgeurts
I believe that's L-1.
I'm kind of not buying that you're not buying it. Or rather, have you never seen players doing weird or not thought through things, or been kind of clueless? (Actually I think most of us are, sometimes :3 *raises hand*). My point is, what you're pointing out as the point of suspicion here feels weird to me. It doesn't make him any more likely scum or town from my point of view. Unless he deliberately quickhammered with the plan of playing a newbie card afterwards, which I find unlikely.
I'm curious about your reads at this point, if you have any you are willing to share? Your shaddowez name is so mysterious! =O- Dyslexicon

It may be faulty reasoning on my part, but it almost feels like (and I want to make it absolutely clear I am not saying this is the case, it's just the feeling I get from the wording) Blair is conceding that the argument is accurate, and as she can't refute the argument to discredit it, she's trying to discredit the argument by discrediting Thor and getting the argument by association. That's not town behaviour, to my eyes.
I didn't really take it as a "going after the man". I think the whole thing between them is a lot of miscommunication and stubbornness from both sides and that could mean town or scum from either. Yay, conclusion!

Do you understand what I was calling her scum for? Whether or not you agree with me, do you understand my case?
If yes - then I don't get the point of this question.
If no - what part of my case confuses you and I'll expand on it.
I didn't. I do now, cause you made a pretty list. I didn't get it cause I didn't get at all that his supposed bad logic meant he was scum. And I didn't fint the logic too bad either (to clarify, the logic you get out of his posts is bad, but I don't think that's what he was really saying or meant to say).
I didn't want to get into it because I want wgerurts dead. I wanted him dead 12 hours ago, and for some reason town is derping around and wanting to be distracted. i do not think it is a good idea.
And I wondered why? See, it's not obvious to me why we should have lynched wgeurts 12 hours ago from this post of yours.
If you want it explained in a different way...well, first off ASK THAT. Don't say "you haven't explained it" say "I don't understand your stated reasoning". Those are two vastly different requests and will be approached in different ways.
Also, if you don't understand, it would be helpful to be told *what* you don't understand, so that I don't waste my time. And if it's "everything" then you really need to be totally up front with that because what you're asking for is a baby steps walkthrough...and I reserve the right to be snarky if that's what I need to do.
I will try to communicate in a more direct way with you. Sometimes I think information is implicit in my posts, but it doesn't come across the same way for everyone, obviously. I'm also not used to thinking in terms of A or not A in the degree I experience you do (from your posts, but I might be wrong), and my head is more like bunny! plane! jumping <3.
I'm going to take from your answer the following.
1. You agree you aren't reading things.
2. You agree you are asking me to explain cases further by claiming I haven't explained them at all - and recognize this is a poor way to go about it.
3. You admit to needing baby steps.
4. You admit to trying to slow and collapse the day in discussing cases that are pointless or that are not being actively pushed by me to get a "read" from me while ignoring my primary push that is unquestionably going through today and kind of joinging in the general town herp-derp of wasting time and energy instead of getting a flip now.
Definitely not what I've been trying to communicate. I don't know where you take this from. But it's probably all my fault and never yours. :3 *tries some snark as well*
Seriously though, this is just weird. I'm sure you can get something else out of my post if you try.
I find this bothersome, and refuse to avoid snark in responding to you, and frankly think if you're requesting this you should recognize that you deserve some snark.
I'll do up a step by step breakdown of both cases now.
Your snark is cute though^^
I enjoy it.

Also this, although it's different. But you took a long time to actually explain your initial leap (which so shockingly wasn't self evident for me). You just refered back to your first post all the time. I feel I get the picture of what you actually meant now. So yay!

Basically, I'm thinking communication could be easier, and I'm trying to work towards that, believe it or not.

Spoiler: Trying to spare town meaningless walls of snark...somewhat ;)
Thanks! So here's the thing (or one thing, at least). I find what you take from Cheetory's posts selective and unnuanced. Why it was hard to follow in the first place is that I'm wasn't getting the same things from Cheetory's post (although admittedly I didn't read the last ones before after he had flipped town), and even if there is internal bad logic it isn't at all a case for him being scum imo. I was also not seeing why any of your earlier points on Blair was making her scum or town. I thought Acryon had more actual points to consider, although you were being more forceful about it. You point out a contradiction or something you don't agree with in #111 i.e and call her scum for it. I don't see why that makes her scum at all. It's like you jump from "I don't agree with your logic, and it can therefore not be seen as logical in any way, and therefore you are scum". I might be doing you unjustice, but this is the source of my confusion. My source of interest (in terms of alignment) is if you do this thing where you try to forcefully find holes in townie's logic to call them scum for it and the one comment from Johnny. I can see you coming from a town perspective too, but I'm wary cause I think you come across pretty similar as town and scum. I would be greatful if you provided me with a couple of games where you've been scum. I've already played with you as town, although that is a long time ago.

Subsequent dialing down is irrelevant, were you or were you not saying that if you understood Cheetory's post correctly then he was 100% scum? Because that's what "you just claimed scum" would indicate to me.
I must say though, that bolded is pretty obvious. I don't think Thor really thinks that is the case.

There is nothing to support your claim besides a "you claimed scum" comment...which is apparently the end of all discussion from me towards Cheetory despite being one of the very first things I said to her and never being mentioned by me again - yet that is your big hangup as far as my interactions with her goes?
How does that even work?
Like, why were you so worried that I was going hard line on her (And are till worried that I did) when, that one quote (which, I might suggest comes off as more pressure/joke than serious stance I expected people to sheep) is the only evidence you have and every other interaction showed me talking to her about her thoughts, agreeing with and disagreeing with various parts of them, and even discussing th logic of her vote and offering to help her wagon someone else.
Like...your case is so empty here. What is your boggle, where is the other support that I was being hard line? Where is the other evidence to show my belief was hard line? Where's the beef here?
You're taking one comment and trying to build a mountain of it - what am I missing?
You kind of write as you're hard line, probably more than you really are. Where I think you have a point about Blair is that it's possible she doesn't really care or need the discussion you're in as much as she pretends. Or rather, that there is pretending involved, which would come from scum. I don't think she has a "case" on you, and I don't think she was trying to. I think it's possible that she discuss things just to discuss. I don't see that as town.

i think youre really mistaken to call anything blair has said against you a case
actually, blair, im interested to know what your current thor read is
p-edit
thor i thought it was clear from the start that blair thought your logic was bad because you equated cheetory's bad logic on me to a scum claim
i think half the resulting kerfuffle is about how serious that original remark was
I like you.

This will have to be later.
Right off the bat, I'm hesitant about a lot of my reads.
You read town to me.
Thor reads more town, but I still want to investigate him further because my feels said to D1.
I'm worried that Blair is purposfully derailing with useless things. And I'm also worried about her lack of commenting for me having town feels on her (I think I stated this earlier, possibly more than once). And so, she's down to null.
I think Phil have pretty posts, but I want to see more.
I have little opinion on YYR and Shodwz. Which bothers me. Especially Shadowz is getting my squinty stare.
Other people I forget. Oh, Acryon. Acryon could be scum.
Basically I have few strong stances on anyone. I haven't ruled anyone out yet. This will need to be fixed.

sure but my yyr goal isnt huge. i want to hear more from dyslex and shaddowez
gut feeling after day 1 tells me there's scum somewhere in yyr/dyslex/shaddowez
I'm curious why noone is reading me as town :3

This actually sums up Dyx's wall.
I have actually seen players post more to say even less, but not often.
There were about two actual points in that whole thing.
If you want scum games click on my topics list and pick and pluck away - I have a ton of them.
I will admit that I have a ard time believing you're actually going to meta me by reading other games though - as you can barely manage this one.
Unvote: Blair
Vote: Dyslexicon
I'm not a pointy kind of person. And in this particular game there's not a lot of content on alot of the players. A lot of the focus has been on you and Blair going back and forth.
I was actually wanting you to pick one and then also read another, but I guess I'll just have to find the one for myself :3
I'll read it, but not now (cause time issues).
So is your alligation that I "can barely manage the game", or that I'm scum? What is making me scummy in that case? Cause here you're not really accusing me of being scum apart from voting me which can be taken as an accusation. I would want to know why you think I'm scum rather than town.
Also, did you answer the question I had earlier about if you think Cheetory's lynch would have gone through if wgeurts hadn't quickhammered? I think not?
Also also, what do you make of how people read you, if anything?

im having a great deal of difficulty telling if your reads are
"oh oh, scum!" or
"oh oh, shiny!"
this inches you toward my town pile
and makes me want to ignore your reads
I don't have very strong reads right now. I don't think I'm alone on this, but that's not really relevant. What's relevant is that I don't and I'm not going to pretend I do.
I get the feeling that Thor doesn't really think I'm scum.
I'm confused by the town reads on him. Which is why I need to look over what scum!Thor looks like.
Apart from that there's basically a bunch of people I need to here more from.
First guess on scum on hunch from D1 would be Thor.
@Phil, can you please explain to me why Thor is solid town to you?- Dyslexicon

My accusation is really pretty clear...but as far as I can tell no one in this game is capable of reading beyond surface level. It's very strange.
I pointed out that you were barely able to read this game.
I noted that you were asking for other games to read.
I suggested this is a sham - because if you don't have time to read this game then you certainly don't have time to meta dive others.
In short - I am saying that you're extroverting fake scumhunting commentary to try to cover for doing nothing, and am calling you scum because of it.
Hope that makes sense, who can tell anymore.
I disagree that I'm barely able to read the game. I read English pretty well. That I don't interpret it the way you want to =/= I can't read the game. I can't read the game the same way you do. That is true. It's painfully clear we have vastly different thought patterns. I did read some of your games (I skimmed most of course, cause I'm not going to use that much time right now (I can't anyway)). I got the impression that you are slightly less snarky and interested in bashing other players in the scum games I saw. I could read this as town frustration. However, you did have narrow focus (and I don't recall your focus being that narrow in the other game I played with you).
This is definitely a bad accusation. It's your subjective opinion that I can't read the game at best. I did dig up your games, and I'll likely dig up more when I have more time if I'm still not satisfied. If you can't tell, I don't come to hard conclusions often in a game of imperfect information.
What speaks scum for you still:
- Johnny's comment and mah feels to it.
- Interpreting posts in a selective way and just going for it. Someone said something like "ceating your own narratives" about other players (and one at a time) when you were scum in a game. That's what it feels like.
- I still don't actually think you think I'm scum. I don't feel it.
What speaks town for you:
- Activety (although a lot of it was for one discussion)
- Frustration, if from town. (This is not an invite to make you come across as more frustrated :3)
I didn't, but it's kind of a dumb question. 'Maybe, but I don't know' is the best anyone could do in answering it if they were being remotely honest.
Cool. I was wondering because you said this to Blair after Cheetory's lynch:
Scum motive would be to get town cred by defending a likely mislynch who would flip town while setting yourself up the next day to call the primary pusher of said wagon scummy for "illogic" attack, and then push to get me lynched. This is an incredibly basic scum strategy and considering the way you have talked about the game I do not believe for one second that you have no idea of it as a strategy.
I personally don't think Cheetory was a likely lynch, and in any case not a lynch Blair (if scum) would know or have good reason to believe would go through. And you kind of suggest that she planned to "attack" you for it when he flips town. You are calling it a likely mislynch here for your argument, and so I was wondering if you just picked that up to have more "points" on Blair. It doesn't read thought through from a town perspective, more like an afterthought.
As I've noted before, I'm not shy, if I got a read off of any of it I would have said so. Most people are town reading me or calling me some sort of nebulous thing, which is pretty normal. Most of the reasoning is pretty thin. No one has said anything particularly insightful nor strong opinioned as far as I go besides *maybe* Blair's commentary which I don't think makes sense, or your new recent flip flop which I'll discuss in a few.
I know that you're not shy, but I reserve my right to ask you questions as I don't believe you would share everything on your mind all the time. I've not bit flip flopping as much as you think (more on this further down). Phil called you solid town. That is strong opinioned. Do you beg to differ? I'm curious why you aren't curious, especially if you don't find his reasoning insightful? Or do you? Also, do you think I would spend my time arguing with you if I was scum? This is a serious question.

You read more town than I had been reading you in that interaction. Not town. You've never been a town read to me, and actually never very far from null. Scum/null/I has the suspicionz. To be fair that might have been unclear in my post, but my thought process has never been you as a town read.- Dyslexicon

That's not something for you to decide. It's not debatable that I read the game. Why are you making up things like this? For real. Stop it. It's annoying. And counter productive.
I do not believe you have read other games of mine.
I might buy that you lightly skimmed them, but if you'd read them enough to have opinions you would have opinions in this game - that is my point.
This is not debatable either. You can believe what the hell you want. I did, I used the time I had, I did it the way I wanted to, I have an opinion, it is not conclusive. Maybe I'll do more, who knows. I don't plan my every move in the world. Your claims here are absolutely BS. You can't decide whether or not I read the game, I'm very sorry, you just can't. I find it anti-town, cause this leads nowhere: "You don't read the game. You didn't read my past games." "Um. Yes." I have read the game. I've described to you what I've done further. I've not claimed it to be hard work or good scum hunting or whatever the hell else you are trying to put in my mouth here. This is all I'll say about that.
I am no more frustrated than normal in this game, and if you think I have a narrow focus I would challenge you to name the player I haven't interacted with...yeah.
I'm not talking about "interacting". I'm talking about you having a thing with Cheetory, rah rah. A thing with Blair, rah rah. And now a thing with me, rah rah. All of those are the most memorable, to me. To be fair a lot of other players haven't posted a whole lot or a whole lot of importance, so it isn't just you that has "narrow focus" (I do as well, but this was in relation to what I saw in your past games (although admittedly I should check upon town games as well. I'll do it if I FEEL LIKE IT.)
I agree you are saying things that are not conclusions while claiming to be getting lots of evidence and working hard behind the scenes.
I'm not claiming to get lots of evidence or working hard behind the scenes. You are claiming that I'm claiming that right here. I haven't. Don't put words in my mouth. This is what I mean when I say you spin narratives out of my posts. Go read my posts again, I've been describing my thought patterns and actions openly, whether or not you like them or agree with them.
She came in and defended an L-1 wagon, by any definition that is a likely lynch.
That is different than 'would be lynched' which is what you asked me.
I hope that explains the difference.
My point was quite good.
A lot of those votes was from RVS. The quickhammer was random. Not any L-1 wagon, imo.
Your point about that being a possible scum tactic is valid, but only as far as Blair a) is scum, and b) thought Cheetory was a likely lynch. The theory is maybe slightly strengthened by first VT being vengeful. To me it seems a bit paranoid or manifactured depending on your alignment.
Calling me 'solid town' with no reasoning of note and no proactive actions from it is *not* a strong opinion. It is simply a clearly stated opinion. We have no idea how strong that opinion is at this stage.
You have failed to show why I should be curious, so I'm not sure where you come from asking me why I'm not curious. You might as well ask me why I'm not curious about his null read on you. They are of equal value to be curious about. I am curious about many things, that said the human mind can only juggle so many tasks and the Mafia thread can handle less than that.
I do not find his reasoning insightful.
To me "solid town" seems like a strong opinion. Maybe, just maybe, different players perceive things differently, and that one can attribute intention accordingly. /return of the snark. As you've been taking notice on, I don't have strong opinions on anyone, and it takes a lot for me to get that at all, except if it doesn't. Deal with it. I've been waiting for the quieter players to show up too.
It's good that you are curious about many things. Huzzah! (I found the read notheworthy, but apparently you didn't.)
Yes, I think you would spend time arguing with me as scum. Why should I not think this?
I'm not going to answer this just now.^^
So...basically your strongest scum read became less scummy, and may be nullish.
Do you feel like wet cardboard yet?
You should feel like wet cardboard.
I feel like myself.
You are stating opinions like they're fact. You're not wet cardboard, but it's annoying.

It still relegates her to saying "nothing-at-feth-all" but it makes sense.
Contextually even
Of a more valid point though, for someone who cannot read this game enough to offer up a single read - what do you make of her asking me for other games of mine for her to analyze? And then a claim of having skimmed some (in my opinion - aka opening them up and loosely scrolling through so she can claim something...maybe). I'm not buying that story at all. Someone who is actually doing that sort of research would be able to say something. I also don't believe she's doing research on anyone else, so, like, I'm her single option super investigation while everyone else is just null slop? Nah, I don't buy it.
I did offer up my reads/opinions. That they are not conclusive you will all just have to deal with. Personally, I don't understand how anyone has strong opinions and reads right now. I'm not that kind of person in mafia, I'm just not. And this game is especially "dry" right now. I promise you that all the reads, hunches or feels I do have will be announced in time. Take it or leave it. I don't care what you "buy" that I'm doing or not doing. Please come up with something better.

do you have any explanations that would impart scum motives to dys?
I'm not trying to lynch Thor or anyone right now. Most people aren't even posting.
I haven't claimed to do "good scumhunting". I know very well my reads are vague and I very much crave more of a feel for the game. I'm used to faster paced games, and so to me there's a lot of silence here. I'm following the instincts I do have, whether or not you like it, and I'm going to keep doing that.^^
In post 316, Thor665 wrote:I don't think she's trying to lynch me, and never meant to imply as such.
I do think she's trying to present herself as scumhunting more the instant pressure was applied to her. Prior to my pressure it was all "Lulz :3" after my pressure suddenly she's looking at past games and analyzing things.
It feels faked to me. I think if she was town and thought she was doing fine before she would keep doing the same, and if she was town who thought she was doing poorly before would have a more wide range scumhunting work as she tried to get reads on multiple people. Instead she talks about doing all this intense work, but only about one player. That doesn't read wonky to you?
This is alligations that I don't do "good town work", not that I'm scum. I'm not parading anything as "intense work". I've been interested in you. You've been around. You're putting words in my mouth and make a horrible case. I'm looking forward to interact with other people too. And I'm sure we'll talk again. Maybe I'll try just observing you unless there are burning questions from either side. Good day, sir! *dramatic turn*- Dyslexicon

Hi there thread.
Let's start with some reads, cause you all can't wait for that.
I'm going to split my read post up, because it's pretty long. I apologize for being wordy, and will try to be less so by posting more often.
Scummy:
Phil:- First post with reads looks nice and proper. He presents the reads as not solid, and they have a lot of gut reasoning and weak reasoning that doesn't commit to anything (except killing wgeurts). To me that's null, but not as pretty as it looks. I still have a issue with the calling wgeurts lynch policy, but then also treating him as being very scummy.
- 134, interacting with wgeurts, he states "If you're scum, then we can disregard them. Or even better, figure out who your remaining partner is from your reads (though I admit that is very very WIFOMy)." I can't imagine why you would want to warn a scum read (especially that inexperienced!) that you can derive from his posts who his potential partners are. Seems untricky, not in a town way.
- 183, after I ask him he specifies the "one minor scum thing" and "one minor tow thing" in regards to his read on me, and the conclusion is basically that the town thing could be scum as well and the scum thing could be town as well. The post also contains the alligations that Blair was "attacking the man" with her infamous illogical-comment, which I still don't really get. And if he's going to arrest her for that, Thor himself is balancing that line many times anyway, imo (but that's a different story I guess, point is it seems like a non-point against Blair.) I also don't like this phrasing: "the use of the word "illogical", for example, always has me a bit wary". It just seems like scum phrasing to me. That's a gut thing.
- 275, this is a detail, but something that struck me: The phrasing "Even though it's apparently an unpopular opinion, I'm still thinking YYR is where my next lynch would go if Wgeurts flipped town." is framing his stance as "unpopular" but something he is willing to stand for anyway. I'll come back to why this strikes me. In the same post he states that if wgeurts flipped scum he would want to do more analysis on scum interaction. Scum so far would then be Johnny and wgeurts, not a lot of posts to go through. And wgeurts would be a scum read for Phil anyway, so that statement feels disgenuine to me.
- 297, is just explaining why Thor is solid town. Read the reasoning for yourself. I don't find it convincing, and notice how Phil praises Thor for his methods. This could be scum buddying/town reading a strong willed town player (if Thor is indeed town).
- 328, I get really bad feels from this post. First confessing that he hasn't read all of the Thor/Blair interaction (I seriously hope I find Thor flipping tables because of this), which I find strange because Phil has mentioned several times that Blair is a null read necause some is town and some is not, which sounds to me like someone you would like to read all the posts from. I don't find that he really defends the idea that Blair "attacked the man" convincingly, and talks most about how Blair is still null. He states: "This strikes me as something townish- not making any judgements until you've had time to gather information, which is, again, a mark of genuine scumhunting." I wonder how this goes hand in hand with praising Thor for his methods, which I (and I have the impression I'm not the only one) experience as not not making judgements, but rather jumping the gun with whatever semantic/problems he can derive from posts. (Thor, don't hate on me until I come to my read on you.) So it's praiding Thor's methods which to me is very forceful, and then praising Blairs holding off on judgement which to me is something entirely different. And, he now brings back again that it is townish of Blair to attack him rather than some of the more "popular" targets. This goes back to the detail of post 275, when he shows he is aware of how this looks townish (to him anyway), and frames his own action in this light.
- Last post he's posted until now is about moi. It seems inconclusive, but he isn't done. Hi.
I also find Phil to feel the most distant or rehearsed.

Scummy, but a hard read to me because of reasons:
Thor:My main concerns are as following:
- I find it hard to read Thor, because a lot of his posts annoys me. Especially, and naturally, the ones focusing on me, putting words in my mouth (saying I'm claiming I'm doing hard work, or having read several games of his (it was two btw) and cutting out pieces of my posts to show me how I don't read the game.) The turn on me was sudden, after having Blair as a focus and thinking she was scummy. The reasons are terrible. I experience his reasoning basically that I'm not reading things, or not reading what I say I am. This is something that I can't prove, and so it's just pointless discussion. I let myself get annoyed, probably too annoyed. Then there's the issue that I don't have stances. I think it's weird to pick me out on this when at the time there was little discussion being had, and the discussion that was there was pretty repetitive. I don't find a lot of players had solid stances, and some hardly posted. I was being open that my reads weren't strong, and I will continue to be when they aren't. Lame point.
- My interest in Thor was on more so from gut from Johnny's post. Initially I took what I preceive as writing in an inflexible manner as more town, but I also thought that Thor would do this as scum (and actually have pretty much the same tone as town and scum). This is why I wanted to check, and I found that I think he does overall have the same tone.
- I didn't like his focus on Cheetory (although I wasn't aroudn then). I certainly don't like his focus on me. It's like he just has decided upon things, refuses to listen, and his "your logic isn't mine logic and therefore you must be scum"-stances are very much what I imagine scum!Thor would do.
- He's also mainly arguing anyone who questions or suspects him. I don't find it town at all. He seems very defensive.
Null, but I could see you being paired with both of my scum reads:
Blair:- The discussion between Thor and Blair seems weird to me. I can't be too specific about it, but it seems Blair knows that the discussion is kind of counter productive and Thor is making a mountain of it, and that she somehow doesn't have responsibility in that. I didn't like that.
- Early on she seemed town to me though.
- Could easily see Blair paired with Phil.
- I didn't really like her no-stance on me. She says both town and scum has feelings, but apparently is unable to derive anything in regards to where my feelings stem from?
- 401, I don't like, and will need to answer. But you are misrepresenting things here.
She's still null to me though, cause I can't shake that gut town thing from the start. =/ O.o
Null, and wouldn't be shocked if scum:
YYR and now Fink:
I deleted this, cause it didn't say much either way. New replacement new read.
Two questions to regular players:
- Is saying "Imma catch up" and then replacing normal here? Does it mean anything in regards to alignment?
- Maybe silly, but what is an Alt? Is it a second account or something? o.o- Dyslexicon

More null:
Shadow:- Don't agree especially with a lot of his reads. I do like his "no nonsense" way of posting, as it comes off as having nothing to hide. Want more involvement.
- Don't understand her issue with me other than having "low content". That I use emoticons and stuff you just have to get used to :3
- Haven't really stood too much out to me. If my gut where to decide, I'd say maybe town.
Null, but maybe leaning townish:
Acryon:- I wasn't initially having good feels on acryon with his focus on Blair. I don't know why though.
- I like his comment about Phil's lack of town-drive in his read post, since I've felt Phil as distant. Seems like something town would easier pick up on than scum fabricating.
- I do like him going after Thor, just because whether or not Thor is town or scum I don't think scum would go after Thor and open for a big discussion, because that normally ends up in long discussion with an indignant Thor that would have things to say about it.
Townish:
Droog:- Townish for lack of scumminess.
- Also, I find he posts reactions in real time.
- Focus discussion.
All in all comes across town. Still not set in stone with any read ever, almost. Edit: And by the time I got to post this I'm a bit paranoid again. Dunno. Still townish.
- Oh, I did find it peculiar that he was worried noone read him as scummy. Why do you expect people to?
Bins:- When she describes her read on Blair, I can pretty much agree with all she is describing, and this is my main reason for reading her town. I understand where she's coming from in general, but especially this read reads genuine town mindset to me.
- She also had the post she said she was working on ready, and not being secretive about it. Liked it.
Could actually be my strongest town read. Hah!
Warning: I post these reads having read up until post 456.
I will now read the few posts afterwards, and respond to stuff I feel I want to or need to respond to.
My Phil read is more thorough since he's the scummiest one to me. Other reads are more colored by what my thoughts have been/is on them as I go.
I will try not go this long without posting, both for my own sake, and for the sake of avoiding to post such long posts.- Dyslexicon

I really don't get this read. Also, I disagree with the last sentence. I think town is generally more likely to just say what they are thinking with no (apparent) good reason, while scum tend to explain cause they have to create a town narrative in their head. (Of course this depends on the player, but I don't agree with what you're saying here).
I'd very much like an updated opinion on the YYR slot/Fink, and also seperate opinions on Thor and Blair.
In post 368, shaddowez wrote:I mean that saying "useful scumhunting" doesn't look like anything in particular seems like a good setup to be able to not do much. If people later on down the road say "it doesn't look like Dys is doing much in the ways of useful scumhunting", you could say "Well, I am scumhunting in my own way, how do you know what "useful scumhunting" looks like?"
I could. And so could anyone else. It works for anyone. It's not meant to be "useful defense", it's just how I see the game. I very much view this as a people game, and people are different. Which is much excite.
In post 401, Blair wrote:At the same time, I do have a hard time believing that she planned on poring over not one buttwoscum games of yours in any real detail, and she does admit to skimming in 301.
And I never said I was going to make them into pocket books and read them like a curriculum. Sorry to be joking about it, but I do find this point a bit ridiculous. I will try to explain once more:
- I didn't have good feels on Thor. However, his tone is what I've experienced him as town before. Therefore I wanted to see if his tone and presense felt generally the same if he was scum. Cause I haven't seen scum!Thor, so I wouldn't know.
- I found two recent games. I think his tone is generally the same. I got the sense that he had a bit of a narrow focus, and maybe slightly subdued to this game. But tone generally the same. I was happy with the findings, I'm not going to use all my energy into this game, but I got something out of it.
Of course I admit to skimming those games. Of course I did not read them religiously, and that was never the intent. I don't think I said anything that implied this at all.
tl;dr: You were probably right to say she was disingenuous in asking for two scum games to read over (the very fact that she publicly asked for them when they aren't hard to find demonstrates she was more interested in making sure we all knew she was doing it than actually doing so), but you could have made this point without claiming she wasn't reading this game, either (which I think was just another way of saying "You aren't asking a lot of meaningful questions or drawing significant conclusions," which, again, is a point that can be made without the above claim).
I wasn't. I wanted to make sure of two things:
- I wanted to see not only one, but two games, as insurance.
- If Thor gave me one or two games (I actually thought I asked for one, but I see I asked for a couple), I would make sure to find another too, because I wouldn't trust him to give me representable games if he is indeed scum.
I asked this in thread because I remember people did that last game I played. I thought it was pretty normal. Thor was the one injecting that with me claiming to do hard work and stuff. I never said that, and I never meant that. What work I do or don't is what work I do or don't. Normally I take mafia (and most games) pretty seriously, believe it or not. It's still a game though, and I like to have fun.
Is there anything you or anyone don't understand about this?
If you believe me or not (or claim to do), I can't control. I naturally can't prove what I did or did not read.
Summary: You raised a fair point, but included an unnecessary and unverifiable jab that inevitably led to a lot of pointless arguing.
I don't think the post is very fair. Thor might be the type of person that would not read a game, posts here and there, only looking at one person. Or he might be, I don't really know Thor, but he seems to like having things in order. That's cool. But I don't, not necessarily. I like to get the general vibe of things.
Proceeding to say I don't read this game is just ugh. Especially when other players are actually saying they haven't read parts and just gets light snark.

Or this?
In post 301, Dyslexicon wrote:(I skimmed most of course, cause I'm not going to use that much time right now (I can't anyway)
Which, fascinatingly, shows I was correct in my belief of her reading.
I'm going to do this in a list.
#1: You are quoting just a tiny bit of my post out of context. The full post explains how I hadn't read your last posts YET when posting one of mine. That is because I had just spent time catching up and mafiascum ate my post and it was gone. So I wrote it again WITHOUT looking at the post appearing in the meantime, because I didn't want to lose my train of thought or get more theories in my head confuzzling the thoughts I had there and then. I did, of course, read the post afterwards.
#2: I was pretty drunk when I posted that and the posts around then. I thought mafia was a good idea, but it probably wasn't and I definitely could not have a focused catch up then. Again, of course, I have read the posts afterwards. Maybe I should've explained my drunkness before, but I didn't really think it was such a big deal.
#3: This is a quote about the other games I looked into. Would it help if I called it looked into? Would you understand it then? It's not relevant to the BS claim that you make that I don't read this game anyway.
So on and so forth.
If you find the arguing pointless than don't discuss it.
What I'm asking you is - do you think she said that as town or as scum? You seem to be agreeing she said it for the look of the matter. Now what is your read on her alignment once you notice that? Because you said a lot without concluding much.
So, is your issue that it can happen that I haven't read things in order, or that I may even dare to post something without being 100% caught up? Ok, maybe you like it when everything is linnear, and think it's mind buggling to have D3 discussion on D2. I don't. How does this makes me scummy? This is your only point on me. Noone else seems to have such a big issue with it, but you really TRY to make it an issue. You're taking things way too literal if you really believe I'm not reading the game.

Between acryon and Thor: I don't think acryon's point is very good. However, I don't think he comes across as scummy for it. More town, actually. Thor saying that he thought wgeurt was scummy and that policy lynch is also a scumness lynch is a question of belief to me. I don't agree that it's scummy of Thor to not vote Blair under the circumstances.
This bothers me. You've told me several times that "I'm not shy" as a way of implying that you will bring up what's on your mind. Now to say "noone asked me" is another example that you're just picking words to serve whatever your case is at the moment. I'm starting to think this is a null tell for you though.
In post 468, acryon wrote:
No, I didn't say under certain conditions. I said under one condition, and it certainly didn't meet the criteria of that one. The only reason to ever not choose your #1 is if there is no time to complete a wagon. Otherwise, why would you ever go with the choice with a lower chance. That is completely illogical.
I don't agree with that. I too would've voted wgeurts that day, just because it would be totes sad if he was scum getting away with that. And because I didn't trust him, regardless of his alignment. If you asked my gut at the time it would've said town for him though.- Dyslexicon

Fink is a town read. Yes, because we agree on reads, and I find his reasons good. Don't see why he'd defend me like that if it wasn't real/town, and his reasoning reads town mindframe. The "this makes sense because I know I'm town" thing is kind of funny, but not scummy.
I'd be very interested in updated reads on this slot.

@Thor, I'm not going to respond to you anymore unless you or other people find it strictly necessary. It goes nowhere. You clearly have no interest in listening to anything I say. You seem more interested in discrediting me at any chance. Btw, I think the discrediting of players (not only me) is getting really old, and I hope for less of that and more of the cute snark.
Would lynch Phil (1st) or Thor (2nd).- Dyslexicon

I've seen three people being willing to vote Thor, and a lot of people have him as a town read for some reason. You've said multiple times that it's popular to attack Thor. How is it any more popular than to attack me for "not providing content" or other BS variations of Thor's endless stream of whateveritis? Or attacking Phil for that matter?
Not at all interested in voting Fink.

@Thor, 498. 1a. The alligations that I'm posting more thoughts because I was called out for not doing it is so ugly, because a) I post more thoughts and you can call it scum cause oh no I had to post thoughts or b) I don't post more thoughts and you can ceep calling me scum because I'm not posting thoughts.
1b. The alligations that I didn't have solid reads are shit in the first place cause it was at a time not everyone had posted content anyway, a lot of other players did not have solid reads either (very few I believe, if any), and I didn't have a feel for the game yet.
1c. Someone (don't remember who, maybe Fink) suggested i was town being guilty I hadn't "contributed content" or whatever yet. I want to clarify that I'm not guilty. I just didn't have that strong of an opinion or a feel of everyone in the game. I didn't have a sense of the larger picture and how all of the players interact as a whole. ¨
2. Now your issue is that I asked you for games and going for "fake scumhunt points". I've explained this up and down, and if you've decided to not listen to me and ram on your way (as you obviously have and you've not listen to ANYTHING I've said ever, and I don't think you will) then fine. This is something I can't prove. It should be evident from my posts that my actions are town. Players can go back and see. You are the only one obsessing about this. This is the only thing you're even saying about me, apart from not agreeing (or even reading? Seriously, cause your "summations" sounds like fiction) with what I say. I'm so over adressing this. Which leads me to...
3. ...if you're so convinced I'm scum, why are you not adressing obvious things as how I called out Johnny D1? Or how I acted around wgeurts, asking him to contribute if he were town? Why are you not even trying to show me as scum as a whole, you're just. You know what. I don't even know. If this is your actual town play color me extremely underwhelmed.

Does Thor's "case" on me convince anyone of you guys? Why, why not? I want stances on this. If people want to vote me I want reasoning.
To me it seems like a cop out. A lazy vote with a lot of repetitive arguing over something I can't prove or disprove. He's not interested in listening to anyone but himself. I fear (and there's a reason I use this phrasing) that he's using it as a scum tactic to rally against anyone that will be likely to vote him and talk back to him. If he's scum and he succeeds in lynching a couple of town that wants to lynch him I fear that he'll be able to ram himself arguing semantics to victory.
---
I like Blair less. Especially 526, "Yes, if Dys is lynched and flips scum it would be perfectly reasonable to find my defense of her suspicious - that is a tell I wouldn't argue with. (Hold me to it!)". This does not seem town to me. It sound like you're not at all worried that I will flip scum. Which is curious, cause what she calls a "defense" of me doesn't sound very convincing to me.

What is up with me and Phil getting compared?
Can someone please answer me what and Alt is? I'm foreign and haven't played on here in ages. I also had a question about the replacement, asking how usual it is and what it might mean. Would be most thankful if someone would care to answer.
---
@Phil, 558, The reason I deleted the things I wrote about YYR in the first place was because my post was already so long, I didn't want to have too much unnecessary stuff there, and the read was highly inconclusive due to lack of involvement from YYR. If you or anyone really want to know my main point was that I thought "yeah, could be scum" after reading Droog's case but it didn't really convince me in any way. Since a replacement was here I expected to be able to read him better. In short: more of a null read on YYR and nothing I thought was worth spending words on as I'm naturally wordy anyway.
I would like you to adress the points in mine and Fink's case.
---
@shadows, I understand business. Please flesh out your reads and stances when you do have the time. I have a hard time remembering where you stand and especially why, unfortunately.
---
I would still lynch Phil or Thor, and not anyone else. Maybe Blair as a comromise.
All players reading the above as town, please state reasons why if you already haven't?

@Phil, I would also appreciate some examples whenever you say things are "odd" or that people are having "odd statements" or saying "odd things", or that you are more specific in describing that they are things you don't agree with or things that doesn't make logical sense to you or whatever makes it "odd", because I don't know what you mean when you say this. It could mean about anything.- Dyslexicon

@Droog, you keep mentioning "real flips". What exactly do you mean by this? What is more real about those flips and who are they? Seriously confused by this. What questions are you missing that I haven't answered? Thor is ignoring a bunch of questions too. His only way of tackling things is to just dismiss questions, or rather the person behind them as being silly. Frustration is too nice of a word to how I feel about it. At this point I'm just tired of fighting with him.
I just find Thor's defense of Phil really weird. And I really think Phil is scum.
Regarding Fink:He does come across as town to me. The only thing is that he seems very sure that I'm town, and keeps defending me quite fearlessly. I also after the Thor/Fink interaction don't see it as impossible that they are scum together. It's just something in how they seem to comfortably interact, a lack of worry or something (yes I'm talking feels, deal with it). This just feels different than the annoyment Fink has expressed earlier. That being said, a lot of the stuff he says are things I agree with and have thought of myself, and he even sometimes words it pretty much exactly how I've been thinking them, which is why I have a very hard time seeing him as scum. Right now, I think Thor/Fink is the only pairing I could see if Fink is scum. Also, his comment about if Thor is town he might not want to play with him again is brilliant if he is scum, cause that's exactly how I feel. When I do go "omg I feel the same way" i.e when Fink expresses confusion by Blairs defense/non-defense on me, that is how I see Fink as town. Plus he seems thorough and actually curious.
@Shadow, 586, In your read on me you mention stuff, but I fail to see why they are scummy to you, or what scum motivation you think you see, for example with me saying I was going to stop to respond to Thor, but then doing it anyway. What is the scum motivation? Also, I explained why I took YYR out of my reads in 560, did you read it? I see no reference to it.
I did notice acryon refering to YYR well after the replacement as well. Didn't like that tbh. I still feel acryon's push on Thor doesn't make total sense, but I don't see it as very scummy, I think because it's something he actually believes? I'd like to interact more with acryon. Hi acryon.
@598, just no.
Regarding what's up with Blair comparing me and Phil and just Blair stuff:Don't really understand how. I still feel that articulating intuitions and feeling are perfectly valid, and obviously it helps being as concrete as possible, but I feel that this is what Blair is doing. And that seems real, but her confident on me flipping is so bizarre. Even the way it's phrased.
@Blair, 607, I was expecting more words. Can you answer me what an Alt is, cause noone else will?
In post 608, Fink wrote:
The one motive that makes the most sense to me is that you essentially agreed with Thor because he didn't seem as crazy-pants to you as he did to me: because you feel like youhavebeen going after Phil unfairly: since you know both he and Dys are town or something. Since Dys is one of my stronger town reads, and Phil is one of my stronger scum reads (reevaluating this depending on how you play out), your "double standard" didn't seem at all crazy to me, it seemed logical. I wouldn't have agreed with Thor, and based on your behavior earlier in the thread, I'm surprised you did. My best thought for why you would do that is that you have more information than I do (i.e. are scum). I'm open to other reasoning.
About this, remember it was Blair that first brought up that the me-case and phil-case were similar (Blair's cases anyway). And reading it again I could see it from a meta-perspective, but definitely disagree that my reads were as non-commital and flimsy as Phil's first read post where he also explicitly stated that they weren't solid at all. (It was a very early post though).
I want Blair to explain further before I offer more thoughts (which i do have).

I'm still wanting to flip Phil way more than anyone else right now. He'd have to show up (!) and convince me pretty hard that I shouldn't want his lynch for me moving my vote.- Dyslexicon

Didn't adress the "useful scumhunting"-comment by shadow, so:This is one of the few things that actually makes me think much of anything about shadow (besides gut). I can buy it as a "didn't like this" and the way he's talking about it and how it wasn't a big issue seems real to me. It's also consistent with how he first misunderstood Fink's line of questioning. Reads town mindframe and not made up to me. There's not a lot of stuff to go off of from shadow, and I wish for more involvement from him. Makes me actually feel better about shadow than acryon, as I don't particularly like acryon pushing it further from there.- Dyslexicon

The other allowable solution is to actually, y'know, state your reasoning and some reads straight up, which would be new and exciting and at least let people know where you're coming from. I am bothered that you're not leading or stating much, yet are helping to lock down the wagons via an odd preference.
Dude. Pay attention. I have stronger reads than a lot of people, and even if you think I don't, I don't give a shit. If you find it hard to read between the line, here's the short version. You're welcome.
Scum read:
Phil. Let's lynch.
I don't even know, but dangerous if scum, and really obstructing the thread, going hard after two know town (from my perspective obv), not interested in listening, ridicules people he doesn't agree with, super defensive:
Thor. Would lynch.
Maybe scum, don't like the last posts and briefness of it:
Blair. Would lynch as compromise.
Just null:
Acryon
Leaning town:
Shadow (but still wanting more)
Bins/replacement (really liked Bins and read towny)
Town, right?:
Droog (BUT, please give more lengthy explanation for your reads, and explain this stuff about the "real flips".)
Town:
Fink (or else I'll cry )
Now tell me how these are any less strong than i.e shadow's reads, or mostly anyone else actually, or go bark up another tree. SO tired of having useless stabs back and forth with you, which, if you are town, is at least 90% communication style issues anyway.

Not really. How explicit you were about the fact that "Yes, if dys flips scum, I expect to be suspected!" without seeming worried at all, I could maybe attribute to you being overly and maybe even jokingly explicit since you were talking with Thor. Or else I don't see the point in saying it at all. What is suspect about is that Thor was basically "Let's flip Dys just cause, and if Dys flips scum, you are next!" dun dun DUUN!

In post 633, Phillammon wrote:@Thor: I do not believe Blair to be scum. So no. I could be convinced to move onto Dys, but not onto Blair.
Why do you believe she is town?
@Dys: ....you do realize that basically everything you attributed to Blair in that post was said first by Thor? And for that matter, the argument goes both ways-seeing as you are, to all intents and purposes, using Blair's case on me as your own, the fact that "your" case on me is near identical to Thor's case on you should be ringing some alarm bells, if you genuinely are town. Specifically, because if you're town, you know that the argument is incorrect, but seem to think it's alright when you replace your name with mine in the key points.
I'm not using Blair's case as my own at all. I don't agree that the cases against us are identical at all. On the contrary, Blair explaining why they are not makes sense to me. Also, it's only one point being discussed, not the entirety of the two cases. [insert wtf is the case on me anyway rant?] I have already said this, I have already said I don't even think it's fair to compare is in it. So what's the point here? I'm not doing what you're saying here.
Actually, now I come to think of it properly, I don't need much convincing at all to move onto Dys at this point.
And what isyourreasoning?
That I deleted my null thoughts on YYR? Cause I answered that, any comments?
Also, if you want to vote me what's stopping you?

Thank you, I did find it hard to read between the lines and find it beneficial that you state things clearly as you just did and had failed to do prior.
I'm glad it helped. I've been trying to be clear all the way. I'm not rigid though, so if you can't read between the lines you might miss important things.

I'm also willing to vote Blair. Phil is a stronger scum read, so I'd rather keep my vote on him.

Not to me, really. Which is kind of the point. And especially in this game. It's not a math equation, it's messy human motivation. Anywayyy... *awkward half turn*
1. Nothing besides my reads at the moment. But if he thinks they're both scum I'd still rather he stick to Blair.
2. A complaint that he is killing the Blair wagon (that I support) to embolden the Phil wagon (that I oppose)
3. There is a difference between being an unoptimal player and scum. I call lots of plays bad, I don't call all bad plays scummy. There is a large difference.

I was just about to write basically the same things. Especially the last point. I think moar voices are needed. And I'm ready for a lynch.
(Also, would you be our adopted child? If we earn enough from our sitcom, maybe you'll get a pony^^ Droog could be the haiku reading uncle :3)- Dyslexicon

How about responding to 636 in the meantime?- Dyslexicon

In post 659, Phillammon wrote:Unless I've misinterpreted (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong), it was prettymuch entirely #560 (and by extension #526)- I've already mentioned that I found Blair's defences more townish than scummish, even with the suspect reasoning in #526. I'm unconvinced that pointing this out is enough to take someone off my hitlist, based on the points I've already made.
I'm a bit confused as to what "it" is refering to here. You point out my 560 and Blair's 526, and you say that you find Blair's defense more townish than scummish. So that is kind of answering why you don't think Blair is scum, although it's not very reasoned, so I'd like you to expand if you can. I don't see you answer any of my other questions here unless I'm missing something obvious?- Dyslexicon

I can't tonight. I have a head ache.
But really, I can't understand why you think he's town. Like, at all.
I might even be Acryon > Blair right now.
More on this and exciting stuff soon. I've been thinking about things (I know, Thor, it thrills you, but ceep calm, and you shall maybe get opinions from me :3)- Dyslexicon

1. So I've been thinking about the "amagad Dys is totes fake scum hunting for asking for my scum games guys" and the whole deal with that. Being more removed from it, I could see players, especially a player like Thor, getting caught up in it and take it that way. So this is just admitting that. I thought it was scummy at first especially the weight he gave it (well that is weird still, but), I don't really see it as a scum point anymore. I could see both scum!- and town!Thor doing that. That's that.
2. Phil is scummy guys. Come on. He is being more and more passive, and not explaining himself at all. In addition to his previous scumminess:
- In 558 he is "about to pronounce Dys null-town but making some odd statements", but he has an issue with me deleting my YYR read. Which I explained, and he then has no comment to it. In 633 he accuses me for using Blair's case on him (not true) that is identical to the case on me (definitely disagree). So he says that if I'm town I should know the argument is incorrect and therefore not applicable to him. Clever. Especially since I am town. However, I never believed the comparison to be fair or important in the first place.
- After I ask him a bunch of questions, about this among other things, he becomes passive and has nothing more to add. I don't even know what 659 is a response to, I must admit.
I think it makes total sense for scum to be passive and skipping things at this point. Especially if it's likely that they get lynched. Scum has no NKs anymore, and I don't believe it's party time in the scum QT unless scum is droog and Fink or something. It reads scum that has given up.
3. I've been given more thought to a Phil-acryon paring and I think it's a pretty likely one. A quick ctrl+f search find that Phil is refering to acryon a total of 2 times in his ISO:

(Side note, Blair: #222 actually really amuses me because you're using a False Dichotomy to attack a perceived logical fallacy)(Don't do that, by the way)
Phil only once refer to Shadow, but that is an explained read at least.
Acryon refers very little to Phil too (except from two quotes, two times to give reads that are null).
Phil and acryon both have almost no interaction with each other or shadow.
Shadow have more references to both acryon and Phil than them of him.
Note: I don't know if this is a "normal" way of scumhunting on these grasslands, but I find it interesting. Especially since it makes sense for me that scum would be passive. And because being two scum buddies it also makes sense to avoid interacting (it's pretty normal for scum anyway).
4. Blair. I've not been able to shake the gut feel that Blair is town. But that's that. The "double standard" that Thor is talking about I don't see as a double standard at all. It's simply a case of reading different players differently. What makes sense forthisperson, as town? As scum? And what makes sense for this? That's how I understand it, and to me completely elementary and straight forward. The Blair made about being suspicious if I flipped scum without being worried that I would doesn't make sense for town. But really, it doesn't make sense for scum either, unless you believe Blair to be careless/incompetent scum, which I don't really think. That is why my reaction to it is mostly, this is just weird.
All in all this makes me want to lynch acryon over Blair. Still rather Phil, just because I so strongly believe he is scum, and I will be really upset if he isn't.- Dyslexicon

Wow. Ok.
- Acryon says a lot of stuff that seems rushed. I can only mostly gut read this now, cause that was a lot of back and forth and wtf is this, but to me acryon seems more townish than scummish through his defense.
- His push on Thor reads townish to me (agree with Blair) unless he and Thor are scum together. I don't at all agree with him insisting on that you HAVE to vote your #1 scum read, and if anyone has the time this would be something to meta him on. Or if acryon himself has a done game where he is town and is insisting that? That would make the push pretty townish to me.
- The fact that he just pulled together a top of the head read post also seems townish to me, if like he says he thought he was going to be hammered at any moment.
- But then there's a lot of things that just doesn't make much sense.
- I don't understand the scum motivation for not voting Phil, unless they are scum together. I don't understand it as town either though, especially since Phil is indeed a scum read of his (weaker than Thor, but still).
- Don't get acryons scum read on me, cause that's new and not explained, acryon?
