Also, I responded to you here:

He also feels calculated in his so called RVS exit and his reaction to Transcend's vote was pretty defensive. His concerns with notmafia feel fake too. An RVS wagon getting to L-3 is nothing new and notmafia being the one to put it there isn't surprising. Transcend's post 55 is a good point too. I'd probably vote realeo if I was here for all of this.
On your point about "BK's above thought"
1] I am skeptical of setup speccing because I have won a scum game by manipulating setup speccing. The Purge for reference.

2] I have lost a town game because town (imo) is too invested in setup speccing. Mislead 2 is for reference.

3]
Fire and Ice is not a new setup.
If there is a breaking strategy, I expect a) I would know it or b) Open is a moderated forum. Why would Llama give a broken setup? I check the game history and it has been replayed. If the game is broken, I expect it would be fixed (see Duck! Duck! Goose! on how they fixed the setup by adding 1 extra PGO). In Mislead 2 + The Purge, town invested too much in setup speccing and forget the scumhunting part.

TL:DR; I see no way how setup speccing will be helping the town. Even worse, setup speccing is usually NAI because the casual rule of "effort is NAI"

Other has been discussed.

Let us say that there are a lot of things that trigger me in RVS. Can I have your argumentation of me mafia beside RVS?
1) And that's why it makes sense for town to actively discuss it in a game where it makes sense to.

2) Right. You guys probably spent too little time on scum hunting. There's a necessary balance. (Reading your point 3 now, it sounds like that's exactly what happened)

3) I'm not disputing this. Read my post again if you think otherwise.

And for the bottom part, sure, it's been discussed. Doesn't mean I'm satisfied. And I don't consider any of that RVS and am frankly shocked that you are shrugging it off as that. I mean yeah, it's your reaction to RVS stuff, but that doesn't make it RVS itself. Your play since that hasn't done anything to change my mind.

------------------

BK's point on nn, when combined with my own concerns, is enough that I can definitely sheep that if needed, especially if transcend and gamma are the only other choices.

Josh, as someone who works 2 or 3 consecutive 16 hour days without internet access at work (Thank God I've been on vacation since Thanksgiving), I get having to work and sleep. But while you're back, some thoughts would be cool.

Nn, there are two ways to look at realeo not lazily voting you. Well, actually three with this setup. There's your version. There's him being scum who doesn't want to look bad by being on your wagon. Or with the two teams, he could be scum legitimately trying to sort you. I wouldn't write him off just for that.
So you acting like I didn't rubs me the wrong way. If you weren't satisfied by my response, that's one thing. But you spoke as if I ignored you completely which just isn't the case.

note: i dont think rory is necessarily your scum partner or necessarily scum. i am just giving an argument that id see for it and am curios if this is what people see or what people agree with. his recent few posts are quite bad though.
you didn't naked vote me. You gave an explanation that did not make sense. I asked you about it and you didn't answer.

this isnt meant to get townread even more, i literally do not get it. i have no confident reads rn so i left my vote on bk but its not strong, and i havent contributed much. this compared to when i get scum read after being active >_>

srsly ppl have no right to keep townreading me!

unvote and VOTE: rory
Where does this vote come from? I wasn't even townreading you, so the point you made was obviously not against me.
There is no explanation here; you didn't townread me and therefore weren't even discussed in the post

I'm gonna comment a little more in depth on in a bit but I'm a little conflicted, because most of the reads look town driven but a few of them have me a little confused / suspicious. When I'm at a PC ~

What ones look suspicious?

Excellent!

To 1), the risk of 2) > the benefit of 1) but this is subjective to experience. My experience is that the temptation to setup spec is to big than to scum hunt. It's just natural human tendency.

Shrugging off?
That's overkill.

:thinking:

nn is at least contributing to town. even IF he is scum, which i still think is a possibility, in this setup id rather he stayed alive and productively helped us lynch the other scum team. id still lynch scum if i was confident but im less confident in my scum read of him than i was and in a setup with competing scum reads i dont feel confident enough to lynch an active poster who is improving in towniness.

unvote and VOTE: rory

his interactions with me have been awful, he hasnt done much else this game. not really being a productive townie either and #563 is also a thing.

My entrance sucked, I play town in a way that is easy to read as scummy (votes bounce a lot), and... I'm sure there was more.

Rory wasn't bad early on, but recent posts are severly lacking in quality and really just one liners or not very strong stances for the most part.

Yeah, I'll join Josh for pressure.

Did you even go back and see why I'm scumreading you? Also, you do realize town needs to compromise more than scum does to avoid a no lynch, right?

Realeo, no it's not overkill. You called it RVS. It wasn't.
