Big posts are a style choice, not a scum one.
As for rankings they suck, I do not arbitrarily give value to whom I suspect more when the reasons for suspecting one are not remotely similar to why I may suspect another. Even then there are difference between who did it, when they did it and the context. The only rankings I care about I already gave, would I at this point in time be willing to lynch them, yes or no. Other than that I will push them as appropriate(My big post in and off itself is meant to be reacted to) may drop them today, may push them harder, as long as the lynch narrows my suspect list I am happy.
Please don't say I'm ignoring the rest of the game with my FV stuff. These were my last reads, need to update them now, but I am working on it. There just... hasn't been any discussion outside of the
Strong scum gut pings, wtf is this post
Good vote in context.
do you always posture this much? :/
I can agree with this
Okay, but you have one scumread and your reasons haven't been supported by a single person. You're seriously alright with that?
Proph being lock town is part of my FV wall. It is parallel reasoning related to what I am informed about. I don't care if it makes me town, the point of the post is it simply makes them / Proph / one - two other people depending on scum action's 100% undisputable lock town. I think I will be townread off of the solve / claim I make, which would make a mechanical townbloc of 4 or 5 which is huge. That isn't important though. FV is not a common role, it is not luck that it is in this game. We are making progress though! Asek / Josh / Proph / MS / LW pretty much implied they aren't FV I think, so we are getting there. It would make this way easier if they would just claim and take my action and wall but ah well. Like, I'm really trying not to slip what I have atm, but Texas statements have an implication on other info I have which leads to my conclusion that FV is town and X can be used to catch scum reliably. Sorry that I am fixating on this so much, if it wasn't important I wouldn't care as much, I just want a town core I don't need to be paranoid of. :/
Are you implying because he is the only one who thinks you are scum, therefore he should think he is wrong?
No, I'm implying he should reevaluate and actually look at things with an open mind and realize if I am scum he should agree to my FV stuff since it gives him a free opportunity to lynch me.
"Okay, but you have one scumread and your reasons haven't been supported by a single person. You're seriously alright with that?"
No this is what you said, explain what you meant by THIS part.

If you're in a tunnel and nobody is biting, that implies you're either A) wrong or B) not giving convincing reasons. There are 9 other townies to bite, ignoring scum. Not a single one bit, in fact several shot it down. MS keeps posturing how I should be lynched today, but it so clearly isn't going to happen with the current arguments provided. You, the other person scum?reading me, even said so yourself. Additionally, he only has 1 singular scumread in the game... I can get that because everyone feels pretty townie for the most part but at the same time it means he's missing at least something. I don't really understand what you're asking, this feels like mafia 101 ?
Why is Paper so high? I can't remember any of his posts really.
...and, yea, Paperblade's town.
this, however, is also valid.So... paperblade... who is scum? Nobody is scum? Afk lurkers are scum?
I’ve never played with you before and I never read meta on past games as my policy
but from your own self description you said when you are scum you have difficulty generating scumreads on players because you know they are town...
please give us something to work with instead of “everyone is town”
... Does MU not do 10:3 setups too? I thought that was standard.
fineish
I don't remember specifically, but how I nearly always catch up is I skim to see if there's anything major and then I go through and reply to stuff post by post. I also don't read in depth during the skim though, so I do miss a lot of stuff. It is just quicker in case there's a random l-1 or day vig or something important.
PoE. I have you as town now. That said, at the time you hadn't done anything, iirc Paper and FH hadn't either but I remember the last time we played you as scum lurked early game and ended up endgaming bad town. Just meant I townread every poster for the most part.
This. :(
At the time I don't believe there were any non FV posts to engage? That was the centric discussion. I don't believe it is good play to focus on that and ignore the rest of the game either, don't worry.
I thought it was slightly sus too, but alright. Good mindmeld.
LW - mind doing a laddered reads chart? This is a good post, though.
Did I miss something?
Good morning. Walrus has been moved to Sunday, so I'm probably going to be scarce then between that and church.
Josh It's a meta read. Twin's usual play is to bounce naked votes and settle in later when the wagons have substance. I've been able before to see it for what is is: a guy who doesn't have to answer to anyone else. The absense of it is strange and worrisome to me.

What's the difference between Twin's town game and his scum game? What experience do you have with either?
I'm able to read Twin's Town game fairly well, as I described above. Can't recall his scum game.
New Twin is throwing me and I think it's fishy.
Da Letter El What slowly? I chugged Cuervo! Do I have to dig through the trash and send you a picture of the bottle?
the lowposting/lack of general interaction with the game thread is what's scummy, not necessarily the wall in itself. Walls are a style choice but they're easier to fake which is why I was wondering if you sticking around is a good sign, neutral, or if you're trying to skirt that read by being active by getting in a discussion that doesn't really advance reads, but I'm starting to think that was a silly line of thought because it'd require you to have a popularly known meta and then you actively trying to subvert it. I think you're capable of the latter but I think the premise of that meta being well known/completely accurate was probably faulty
Josh wrt scumreads, I do think there's a good chance twin is scum right now. Twin's a person who always thinks he's right and will let you know it. He likes to boss people around because he thinks he knows better than them. The fact that it's been over 24 hours and he hasn't done shit is concerning because as scum he's much more reserved, probably because he lacks the FIRE of feeling that he's right and everyone else should stfu and listen to him and is inwardly scared/anxious. That last sentence is kind of psychoanalysis bullshit but he does tend to be quieter and less willing to push things
thinking of it I'm also not super happy that Walrein didn't come back after getting his spaghetti since he felt sorta passive before that, I don't recall any real reads he gave while he was about
If you're gonna nitpick me, Dogface, do it right. /snark
I'm not seeing the same thing you are, Paper. I'm more familiar with Twin voting into the middle of other people's cases than making his own.
Trying to do catchup and current at the same time, bear with me.
How are walls easier to fake? Aren’t walls harder to fake since there’s literally more content in them which will means more information to be held to scrutiny?
Can you explain your thought process here
might as well put me below ttm, remember, you’re scumreading me
With walls you have all the time in the world to carefully construct a post, getting the wording and thoughts in order and make sure there's no obvious mistakes. Interacting with people in real time like LW did with you, you have to come up with stuff on the fly which makes it a lot more difficult to keep your story straight and not slip up
Townreading LightWolf more than paper right now, but that’s because me and LW has a Good Talk tm
Where am I scumreading you? go quote that
