Alright so me and Lilith have been talking about this for a while and (thankfully) she's come around on Postie scum.
We are going to be voting there from now on unless required to switch to avoid a lynch on one of our townreads or a no lynch.
VOTE: Postie
The last few pages in particular have been so ridiculously scum!Postie that it blows my mind. Just a few examples
I like this wagon a lot.
Town!Postie every time I've seen her has been a lot shier from confrontation. In the original Slavic Music, when I started pushing on her she backed off really hard. In 1664 when we were fighting she kept trying to give me opportunities to show that I was town (which wasn't what I wanted at the time but we eventually townread each other so I digress.) I'm not quite sure what her scum response to pressure would be but this is absolutely not what I've seen from her as town. And I don't mean to portray her as a wallflower but this response is just incredibly jarring.
When you've called 5 out of 9 people scum, I expect you to try to sort them so there's some kind of progression in your reads. It looks like you're trying to keep your options as open as possible so you can just lynch whoever.
Like this is just so incredibly weak and nitpicky that it doesn't make any sense.
Lane's scumreading a lot of people, maybe, but Lane's stances have been extremely clear since he replaced into the game and in fact they precluded a Cow lynch, who as possibly the easiest mislynch of all time is not someone I would expect someone to come in declaring a townread on.
And he hasn't called 5 out of 9 people scum, he's indicated a townread on the rest of them. Like where does that interpretation even come from?
The only players I've called scum so far are you and BNL (now a townlean). I haven't been scumreading every wagon I've pushed; the reason I pushed those wagons was because I thought they would help me progress my reads (which they did).
There isn't any kind of natural progression in your reads, on the other hand - you just keep calling more and more people scum.
Notice that Postie here is entirely backing off from her Aristo read, which she ended up voting twice for long periods during this game but is now declaring as never having been a scumread without substantiating any reasons. 'because I thought they would help me progress my reads' what?
I misread the "why does it matter?" as "does it matter?" oops.
It matters because it looks like you're trying to look busy without actually engaging properly. You're being superficial.
AT THE VERY LEAST this post indicates a scumread that she's entirely 180ing on.
And this entire 'oh but I would have had my partner bus me!' argument just plain stinks.
She declared that before this game even started. I believe in the last game's thread, after the cop guiltied her? If Postie was a D1 lynch led by anyone besides me I would immediately get incredibly fucking suspicious and demand cop checks on the early voters and the major pushers. Like it just plain doesn't make sense to use that argument. She declared to half of the people present in this game that she would ask her partner to bus her. It doesn't even make remote sense for her to actually have herself bussed when it's going to literally buy the opposite of towncred for her partner. Make herself scummy intentionally to frame the people on her wagon, maybe;
but no one besides us is really pushing her.
Like it's patent nonsense.
Doesn't help that she's jumped on literally every single wagon that's gained any traction today, which is scummy as fuck, that she called out every L-1 besides Aristo's, which is scummy as fuck as well, etc.
Aristo, you said yourself that Postie might be trying to tie herself to you. Maybe you're town, but I guarantee you that if you continue defending her after saying that shit at the very least you're going to waste one of our cop checks. Vote her.
Oh, and Lane's town. I'll go into that.
