this explains downweight of "scum psyche / scum bugspray", but doesn't give why "scum psyche / town bugspray" and "town psyche / scum bugspray" scenarios are upweightedIn post 22, Luca Blight wrote:

maybe elaborate later
you can't call someone who hasn't posted in 9 hours a quiet one. i literally posted twice and then went to sleep. even when about to sleep you could not consider that is why I have not posted for the amount of time that is around one sleep? that is strangeIn post 46, bugspray wrote: [quote="Luca Blight" post_id=14061031 post_num=45 time=<a href="tel:1706111918">1706111918</a> user_id=23263]
I'm about to go to bed, but right now my feeling is that bugs/Delta + 1 of the quiet ones is scum. I'm leaning town on Ketchup at the moment.

The fact Psyche scumread Bugs' opening, and then Bugs did nothing to redeem that first bad impression, certainly doesn't warrant a defence at this juncture, especially when Psyche has nothing better to offer up instead.
Dann/OutWorld/Psyche, I'm calling it now.

i don't really like to spend time doing this, but 145 is frankly all junk
you assert that bugs made more than one perspective slip. "perspective slips" and "scum pt slips" aren't a real thing. at best they're extremely rare. but the idea that bugs did it repeatedly over like a 5 post timeframe is ridiculous. how many times have you ever perspective slipped in a game as scum? on a similar vein, you repeatedly note that bugs fails to follow the context of what's being written, but only imply that this is scummy without ever engaging w the question of why someone being really bad at reading could say anything about whether they got a town or scum role pm. it doesn't. this set of accusations effectively requires that bugspray be, er, not very good at thinking, but never even considers the possibility that this observation about bugs' abilities could explain in a nai way pretty much every feature of bugs's play, even their first post.
also, you repeatedly cast survivalism -- trying not to get limmed -- as scummy. but town are at least as motivated as scum to not get limmed, both theoretically and empirically. stuff like deflecting attention, appealling to emotions, and so on are totally common responses by any type of player to scrutiny and again you don't attempt to think through how these things you don't like about bugs's posts actually suggest a scum win condition.
there's not enough weighing of alternative explanations here. you're taking things you don't like about bugs' play and handwaving the steps that explain why this play is more likely to come from scum than town.You can't step in the same river twice.-

i think the rest of bugs's iso recontextualized their first post in a way that makes it close to nai and a terrible basis for a vote on page 20In post 558, Luca Blight wrote:In post 557, Psyche wrote: i'll figure it out eventually, but in the meantime it's still helpful to try to keep town from getting limmed
It seems to me that, based on what you've posted, Bugs has made the scummiest post of the game in your view.

i'm going to avoid having a back and forth about this though unless dann's lim really seems imminent. i expect i'll follow up with specific players to try to understand whether their votes are convincingly motivated and so on but i agree that providing a better alternative would be the best use of my time.You can't step in the same river twice.-

But it being a genuine brainfart isnotoutside the realm of possibility. I've had dumber moments in my time playing mafia. If this is the case than you, Psyche, could very easily be scum trying to capitalize on a townie blunder, which is how I arrived at the either/or read since at the time I posted that your vote looked a bit more thought out than Drew's; Drew's looked more like a kneejerk reaction and it's why I lean town on him.You can't step in the same river twice.-

This is a disengaged player who will continue to draw out inactivity until their inevitable elimination at the end of the day, in the vain hope that people get distracted and another wagon will emerge. I've seen this pattern many times now. I say 'vain hope', perhaps not - in the meta I provided earlier I had Bugs pegged as scum from early day 1 but they managed to somehow survive until D3.

i am whining too much
by the way, i don't agree w the interpretion of ketchup's 323 (my impression lines up more w black's), but this post takes projectry off the table for meIn post 353, ProjEctRy wrote: I’d agree with OWER on the Ketchup post at 323.
It’s the feel of I want everyone to remember this. I’m not part of this etc. It reads fake. Its laying groundwork for a future defence.
I don’t think town need to make such comment and experienced scum wouldn’t make the comment so it seems like a newbie-scum comment.
it meaningfully builds on ower's initial reaction to the post and also it does so in a pretty understated way that indicates the opposite of performativity.
projectry essentially announces that he's parroting ower but imo he paints a much fuller picture of how someone might see a scum mindset in 323. ower's explanation by comparison almost looks like it's describing a gutread by comparison.
i feel like scum, being more focused on building town equity than on actually sorting players, would make a much bigger deal of their differences from of elaboration of ower here instead of acting like they're sheeping.
that said, i really don't think the characterization of ketchup's 323 is right.
people are reading "at least I know I wasn't part of it" as "at leastyallknow I wasn't part of it" -- or at least as implicitly expressing this sentiment, but these really are different statements. the latter would be focused on the shift's consequences for ketchup's reputation, but the former just expresses the sort of self-focused handwringing and indecision that might normally accompany big read swings. consequently rings more town to me than anything.
also it's not like the post was just some offhand comment -- ketchup had been directly asked to explain his shift on dannflor.You can't step in the same river twice.-

i feel the opposite. any reasonably experienced player can simulate attempting to solve. dann was scummier than bugs, just more polished. his drew vote and some posts prosecuting the wagon (e.g., where he solicits a "pressure" vote on drew from another slot) read as insincere compared to bugspray's consistently defiant messiness. made it very hard to marshall the resolve to defend dann as game progressed, and now makes it harder to interpret how people positioned around the wagon.You can't step in the same river twice.-

the either/or reads from earlygame remain interesting. a decomposition into "these posts are both scummy, but relationally unlikely" makes logical sense, but have an underlying implication that i think an actual person would find uncomfortable believing: that one of the scumreads is flat-out wrong. that discomfort seems a subtlety that scum might miss in a performance but range of ways it might be managed in an earlygame is diverse enough that i'm not clear on how to use that. guess if anything it makes outworldr look worse in retrospectYou can't step in the same river twice.-
