Why?
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

In post 128, momo wrote:BTW, I started the wagon on Wheme as an rvs push. Why did people commit to it so hard??? I will be trying to find scum on that wagon??
My gut-read of this is still negative. The tone feels off. [Something petty: I didn't like his continuous use of multiple/excessive question marks ("??"), but he used them as town in our last game together, so less annoyed with them now]
In post 128, momo wrote:Also, Not seems very flip floppy, trying to please everyone. First he followed me on wheme and the followed wheme on me. Looks like he wants to please everyone so that he is not lynched.
I personally don't read flip-flopping behaviour as scum indicative during early/RVS D1 play. But ok, I can see why someone would scum-read that behaviour in isolation.
In post 131, momo wrote:
In post 129, Not_Mafia wrote:Okay momo is scum we can speed lynch this
Even more proof for my case....
Ok, potentially OMGUS-fueled reaction to Not_Mafia's wagon-pushing.
In post 137, momo wrote:Can somebody please tell me their thoughts on the case on Not??

It seems more solid than the nero one to me....
momo is confident on his Not_Mafia scum-case ranking it more solid than the scum-case on Nero Cain! Is this town-momo taking pride in his own scum-case on a player?
In post 146, momo wrote:Where is the town???????
In post 208, momo wrote:Guys unlike some of you people I am actively trying to solve the game. Not and Nero pushing the Wheme wagon that I meant as rvs strikes me as scummy. Thoughts on this????
Real or false frustration?

At the time of reading I thought all of this was scum-theatre (scum-distancing gone wrong).
In post 211, momo wrote:I would tell you to play to you wincon but your acting as if your wincon is mislynching townies.
Again, I don't believe the tone/sincerity of this post.
In post 221, momo wrote:Happy??????
In post 225, momo wrote:F U guys.

It is generally agreed by many people on this site (including Transcend) that I am lynchbait. So be smart and see past it...
Ok, the
'frustrated' element of his play is now raging up to boiling point
.
In post 435, momo wrote:VOTE: alban

alban just GAVE AN EXCUSE for mislynching townies

99% scum
"99% scum"? - I don't know about that. Alban did made a questionable decision to hunt for spammers rather then scum, but that is not a "99%" slam-dunk scum-catch.

What happened to your scum-feels on Not_Mafia, Nero Cain and Creature? (still strong?)



Thus, going back to Ircher's two statements:
"The Momo wagon is bad and you guys and gals know it" and "Because he has done nothing highly indicative of scum; he's lynchbait at worst"
...
True, I cannot find anything "highly indicative of scum". Most of my suspicion lies in the fact that I don't believe the tone of his posts as from a townie. momo has been pressuring/questioning players that I too do not town read (Not_Mafia, Nero Cain, Creature, alban), so perhaps my scum-theatre theory is making me blind to momo's actual reads (which are actually similar to mine, if not for the same reasons).
Re-reading his ISO, he doesn't look CAUGHT-SCUM anymore
. My remaining concern is:
is this 'frustrated townie' or 'fake-frustrated'?



Image

QUESTIONS:

1) Has anyone seen TOWN-momo become this frustated before? (Even citing his own town-meta as a defence of being easy lynchbait).
2) Do you think momo taking pride in his Not_Mafia scum-case is alignment indicative? I.e is town-momo more likely to get disheartened if no-one is listening to him?

Hello, Aristophanes.
Your vote is still in RVS
. Are you trying to sort players in your faction PT?


You have offered two (town?) reads so far (two defences).

On momo:
In post 239, Aristophanes wrote:Because I've never not scumread him, which gives me pause when a wagon on him grown like this!
And WhemeStar:
In post 240, Aristophanes wrote:This where's tar fellow is clearly town tho. Why is this a wagon?

What are your actual thoughts on the arguments used against them? (Your thoughts on them concern only the speed/size of the wagon on them).

@keyser
I have just played with Momo town and scum.

As town he was in 1v1. Ended up giving up and basically conceding. Lynched.

As scum he was mentioned as scum and then said " so vote yume?" Yume was the popular mislynch wagon.

So as town, concedes.
As scum throws attention somewhere else.

Is 'alban' the 'Yume' in this scenario?

There were 2 votes on alban... momo added the third (Wheme and Ircher have since unvoted alban).

It's time to gut that PT and share those thoughts, please.

Because that hydra isn't adding signatures to their posts it is hard to connect their thoughts-reads-votes.

[I think one head t/reads me, the other s/reads me...? I want some ownership.]

I wouldn't call it active lurking, but they aren't dominating as I thought they would with two strong voices (they are whispering).

Can we stop pushing the dichotomy that an emotion that fake = scum and real = town? Titus was genuinely frustrated in Rogue One mafia.

It's a better question to ask why momo is frustrated.

momo, I learned along time ago that most players are just junk. That said you should stop ignoring my question or I'll policy vote you.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

In post 217, Srceenplay wrote:You vote whemestar
You question him and his actions
You call it an RVS and people voting it are scumy
Then you call wheme and NotMafia scumy
Then you call it RVS again
The wagon STARTED with an rvs vote. 2nd post of p.2 I think.

Anyway, Wheme started reacting a bit scummy so I questioned him.

Then it suddenly became a huge deal and it looked like an early lynch was a possibility.

I stopped then because short D1 mislynch is never good for town.

Better safe than sorry.

Nero and Not seemed TOO eager.

Happy??????
Ok, here we go.... (Sorry if I'm very incoherent...)

Spoiler: Momo ISO - Day 1
1. --> Confronts Wheme on his "Does it matter?" post -->
I feel like the majority of us would agree that this is a decent if not good post from Momo. Wheme's post definitely causes people to question his motives, and Momo's post highlights that suspicion. --> Townish (+1)


2. - Responds to Wheme's , talks about the buildup of the Wheme wagon, and then switches topics and votes Not_Mafia for wagon-hopping -->
The response to Wheme's post was acceptable -- Wheme's post was kinda bad (though not scummy) imo. The rest of the post is.... not so great. You may have started the Wheme wagon, but you didn't propel it forward. What propelled it was Wheme and Not_Mafia asking people to vote Wheme. Your concern for its buildup seems exaggerated. The argument you used to attack Not_Mafia is a very questionable argument, and yet, I feel it's an argument that comes from inexperience.
TL;DR :
Weak post w/ exaggerated concern about Wheme wagon and a questionable attack on Not_Mafia --> Suspicious (-1)


3. --> Trying to solve game, etc. -->
I disagree with your assertion that you are trying to solve the game. You are somewhat trying, but you are also ignoring everythng else that happens -- in other words, you have confimation bias. Tunneling, while not necessarily a bad thing, allows you to forget the big picture. It comes more often from town, but the way you are pursuing it is making me have my doubts. Really hard to explain -- gut says there's something off about this tunnel you are pursuing. --> Suspicious (-1)


While there could be more to say about individual posts, its kinda hard to, so I think I'm gonna wrap this up with overall things I'm noticing:

1. Lots of confirmation bias
2. Very little and usually weak explanations for reads
3. Though never a reliable tell, it feels "Too scummy to be scum".

Undecided still. Minor scumlean.

And the wagon was bad because it barely looked farther than the surface.
