Hoping to post a readslist / thoughts tomorrow, started a new job today and didn't the time I hoped I would have. Apologies for the lurking

Is that because they are nearly confirmed town? If that's the reason just because they are town doesn't mean their reads are right. It's fine that you trust MM's reads but please have your own explanations and reads as well rather than just voting because that's what MM thinks.
Have you been reading? I'm having a hard time forming scumreads this game.
I fully understand what you're saying in that post and I do have some reads as well as a few other things to say when I'm not on mobile, but nothing in that post sounds like you think I'm scum. It sounds like you think I'm town not playing as well as I could, which is probably true, but then why are you voting me?
I was voting to pressure. I didn't like the recent sheepiness and I wanted to see how you would react under the pressure of votes. I'm feeling okay about your last post so I'll unvote but I still want to see more of your own reasoning in the future.
I mean I can get someone having a hard time forming reads. What I don't get is how a Town player could have suspicions of their own and then think that sheeping someone else is a better way to advance the game or to get reads than by acting on those suspicions. I don't buy the explanations he's giving because to me it sounds like he's trying to get by with doing as little as possible rather than actually fix the problem he says he's having. My vote stays.

You vote me for sheeping while sheeping?
I agree with a lot of what Alchemist is posting (280) and didn't have much to add onto that, this is also making me see him as a townie.
I'd like to know what changed your vote from Alchemist to me?
In post 302, Something_Smart wrote:Because Mario seemed like an easy lynch and easy lynches that are town are prime places for scum to vote, especially when the overall state of the game is slow.
What makes you think he was an easy lynch? He only had two votes on him at that time and I unvoted shortly after.
VOTE: SS
He switches his votes from people to people with very little reasoning and his responses' to Alchemist seem like scum.
You have shown in the past that you do indeed have some reasoning, yet you seem to simply sheep MM. If you agree with MM's case, you should be able to give reasons why apart from simply "MM is confTown", as that doesn't make their reads more likely to be correct.
Why are you sheeping when you have reads of your own?

Why are you asking a question that's already been asked and answered MULTIPLE TIMES?
And by the way, Mario being conftown does make his reads more likely to be right than any other player's, because it eliminates the chance that he's scum pushing a mislynch. And they're more likely to be right than mine for reasons that should be obvious if you read the freaking thread.
You want me to think for myself? Fine. VOTE: BTD6_maker
Derides me for sheeping while in the same post copying reasoning that has been used by multiple other people to vote me.
Furthermore, I'm seeing a pattern. People are voting me because they don't like how I'm playing. They're saying things like "you should be acting on your own reads" and "why are you following Mario just because he's conftown" which are addressing me as if I am town playing suboptimally. Which I am, but I don't care because in the past I have had a problem with tunneling in on small things and disrupting the game.
So I'm trying to avoid that by not voting things that are, like I said, more likely noise than signal. And the rate of scum lynches day 1, especially where scum doesn't bus, should corroborate this.
Back to the point at hand, people are voting me for what they think would be bad play coming from town, not what they think would come from scum. I specifically mentioned that what I did I don't like to do in most scenarios but this one is extenuating circumstances. The exception to that is Alchemist and that's one of the reasons I'm townreading him.
And to Dany who thinks I'm changing my vote too much: that's not scummy. What's scummy is if your vote doesn't connect properly to your reasoning, or if your read progression is stiff and awkward rather than organic. So if you vote a bunch of people while appearing to keep the same reads and/or maintaining suspicion on one person, THAT's scummy. But if your reads are changing rapidly then your vote should too.
honestly
i get what s_s is saying about btd6 i really do and it's similar to what i saw with dany
it's one thing to sheep
it's entirely another to wait until a solid argument is made to have scumreads, and then present that argument as your own VOTE: BTD6_maker
