I was waiting for Cabd to follow up because if an IC jumps on this train he is ver likely scum, and to see what you would do after calling what is happening interesting, because I'm trying to understand if you are also waiting for people to jump on it to call them scum or if you are trying to break it up as soon as possible before a maybe less experienced partner gets caught in the bait.

Not fond of Cabd tbh because 73 is designed to make me think he is town while not really giving a read on my alignment.

That's probably fairly accurate.
What was your impression of Singer saying I had a strong start but might be trying to trap Cabd because I asked him for a fairly specific meta?

It's natural to do whatever comes naturally. I don't know anyone's meta, so perhaps this is what he does.However, to be super-cautious of not leading does not seem to be natural.I don't know if this is what he's doing, since I don't know how he usually plays. Also, like I said earlier, I think it's a bit early for anything but extremely vague reads. I am not saying he's scum, or even suspicious. I'm just making an observation to help move things along, which (I think) is the point of the RVS. If I'm doing this wrong, tell me

Yep, I have to ISO you because if you are really good there's a pretty good chance of you being scum here.
Choof's play is likely town, there is no reason as mafia to go around naked screaming lynch me as he did, unfortunately the fish he got are the two players that might genuinely believe he is scum, so the bait did not work. If I had to guess they are all town.

Are you telling someone about your meta so they can learn how to meta someone with a bias, or are you deliberately feeding them a bad meta?

Don't hold back observations. That being said, the whole "baiting" thing by withholding information really pisses me off because it's like "oh I was purposefully acting scummy or being coy DUH" which is just a lame excuse for "oh shit you caught me."

Okay, I get that you're basically trying to construct baits, but just one question: do you seriously expect an IC to answer something like 'deliberately feeding a bad meta'? And, if, what I find more likely, this was a rhetorical question: what was the point?

I will use that nice blue color whenever my post is meant as an IC post and not as a player playing this game post. If it's in my blue, it's factual theory stuff, not game play content.

Why would withholding information in order to get better reads be acting scummy?

Also it's "moot" not "mute" but that's neither here nor there.
