Please address what I bolded in my last post at him, because that one is making me want to run the full train on him.
It's frustrating because Moz's whole back and forth with me about lies makes me wnt the full train on him as well.
Maybe I'm just fooling myself and both are scum and it doesn't matter, but the niggle in me is like 'odds are at least one is town derping right now' yeah?

@Max - he was voting HWS before the wagon though (unless I'm totally making things up in my head) does that or does it not effect your read?

I'll also note that being generally paranoid and attacking everyone is actually a not too shabby town tell in my experience.
I don't agree with the characterization of generally paranoid and attacking everyone, his transitions feel very scummy

That's actually what I thought myself before the reread.
In hindsight he voted HWS very early, dropped the read shortly after, called HWS town for most of the day and then regained a HWS scumread near the end of the day once he was looking like a plausible lynch.

@RC - His transitions are certainly scummy in a fast way. But I think speed from scummy and speed from paranoia are very similar.
Like, the read on me basically boiled out of nothing, went full bore, and then died instantly. I'll agree that feels iffy, as does the EP shift.

The HWS shift on Day 1 felt a lot more organic - really most of his shifts Day 1 felt organic.
So I'd say I see scum transitions Day 2, but town Day 1.
Do you see something different?

Can you support that call with a link or two?

@Max - so the section you're seeing is him townreading him after RVS for a handful of days before any wagon even forms he starts scumreading him again?

@Tex - that's fair enough, I misrecalled the conversation.
My other responses are still rather valid, want to address them?

If both Klick and Moz are town then you're scum because I really doubt zero scum bussed - I'm not sure what's confusing about that stance. Do you think zero scum bussed? (I will presume not since you're saying Klick is scum) so, same logic.
Make sense now?

Yeah, thanks. I get that there was probably a scum on the HWS wagon, but disagree obviously with where you think it is.

I don't want to address them, but I will give it a shot.

In post 1669, texcat wrote:Klick could be town asking RC legitimately trying to firm up his read of HWS. Or it could be scum trying to decide whether to start bussing HWS, particularly the part about how few people are giving HWS townreads.
WHat makes you think the latter is more/equally likely?
I think scum worry more about others' reads than town does. They particularly are concerned about reads of scummates, like HWS.

Agreed.
Except I'm not saying it does, whereas you're bringing it up as though it *is* a valid argument for them to be scum.
If it's not a valid town argument, then it is equally not a valid scum argument. A tell is either alignment telling or it is not.
Which are you claiming here?
And if you answer 'not telling' then why bring it up in the first place?
And if you answer 'scumtell' then please explain why you believe that - because it's bollocks.
I was just trying to point out that your assumption of town!moz to get to scum!me was not an assumption that a lot of people agreed with.

How about - do you agree or disagree with that stance and why?
I agree that Moz probably didn't bus his entire team. I disagree that Moz bussed me. He did vote me once yesterday after throwing up his hands and has always had me on his might be scum list. But OK, whatever, it isn't worth talking about since I know I'm not scum and I don't think Moz is scum.

If it's EP/Tex/HWS then scum played a very safe game, never pushed on each other, never seriously questioned each other. Until EP now started putting pressure on Tex while he thought that the wagon would go elsewhere because of my derptunnel.
If it's Maxous/Tex/HWS then we're looking at a lot of cross bussing and it still seems reasonable because some of the associatives feel bad but does seem marginally less likely than just slew of lurkerscum

It's worth pointing out that at no point did either Tex or HWS make any effort to get the EP wagon to go even though that was kind of free and they instead went on Beefster??? instead.

In post 1655, RadiantCowbells wrote:for starters what do these two games have in common with regards to aristophanes and chara

viewtopic.php?f=83&t=74699
viewtopic.php?f=50&t=73079

you have a player who as scum hides behind the meta shield of being known for being bad as scum
they are both objectively scummy in both games: I wanted to lynch Ari right when I replaced in and Chara I had as lockscum in spite of meta

they became unlynchable because the people who knew them refused to take my read seriously because they thought they knew better.

people get better as scum. I agree that mozamis has a shit scum game in the past that doesn't mean he'll have a shit scum game forever.

He has managed to in a significant way match his town tone that he hasn't before but he hasn't matched the playstyle, the stupid pushes the scum motivation none of that is characteristic in his town game.
Most importantly there's a complete absence of reconsideration and thoughtfulness that's present in his town game and he's just alternating derptunnel and loud AtE.
Okay, I'll concede this point. I actually have a unique perspective on that second game there because it was one of the first games I read and, unfamiliar with Aristo's meta, I scumread him just for his posting. I'll take another look at moz, independent of meta, but I wouldn't hold your breath if you're expecting a complete 180 here.
I don't want to be unnecessarily critical of your play CoA but you have a long history of incorrectly townreading people with similar playstyles.
On top of that, I get the impression from both this game and just general past history that, possibly because of Huntress? you have little to no respect for my town play
like you even ignored my advice when we were hydraing and it ended up (possibly! I'm not sure where math would have gone otherwise) costing us the game and you still don't take what I say seriously
This point, however, I will not concede. Not agreeing with you isn't the same as not taking you seriously. Of course I take you seriously and respect your town play – it's just that we disagree. I also disagree that that decision specifically was what cost us the game, but that discussion isn't particularly relevant.
EP is even worse because I don't understand how in hell you would make the decision that you want to go off of your own reads as opposed to sheep me.
I am probably going to get you lynched if I can't lynch Mozamis because it seems so, so uncharacteristic of you to give as few fucks as you do about my reads.
We have a super long history of me saying who the scum are, you fucking off and ignoring me, and me being right and given how our conversations about mafia have gone since then it's kind of flabbergasting that you're ignoring me and the only real answer I can think of is that you're scum right now, so.
When have I ever sheeped
anyone
? I also think you're overstating the degree of similarity between this situation and any previous situations.
