Okay, so the first thing I'm going to do is...
UNVOTE: Wisdom
Here are my thoughts on players:
fuzzybutternut:
Leaning scummy, he has a parked vote on Wisdom that I really, really don't like. In post #35, he stated that he didn't want to lynch anyone early. By post #130, he is still on the same vote he made in RVS. His scum-hunting primarily consists of him asking the opinion of others, I absolutely dislike this.
Human Destroyer:
Leaning town. I don't like his jump from the Zab wagon to Tiger, nor do I like his reasoning for doing so. However, he really seems genuine about it and his intent seems very pro-town. His game looks a lot like the one he played in the game I played with him, where he was town.
Kmd4390:
Completely neutral, have to hear more from him before I form an opinion.
Mitillos:
Neutral, would like to hear more from as well. I do like his response to Wisdom.
pirate mollie:
Leaning scum. Don't like her at all. Don't like how she doesn't explain her town reads. I don't like how she declares players as "scum", but doesn't follow through with a vote.
Does anyone know if she normally plays this way? I've never played with any of you except for HD and Zab, so I'm wondering if this is normal for her. I'd be up for lynching her.
ProHawk:
Pro-town. I completely agree with his stance on Mollie and Tiger and I really like the posts coming from him. He sticks to his reads and arguments in such a way that I do not at all question if they're genuine.
Siveure DtTrikyp:
Neutral, not really leaning either way on this guy. I haven't found any of his posts inherently pro-town or inherently scummy.
The Puck:
Neutral. I hate to sound like a broken record, but how can I judge someone with just three posts in the game?
theslimer3:
What I don't like about this guy is that I feel he'd be very difficult to read regardless of his alignment. So far he seems reasonable, I'm not a fan of the playstyle, however.
tigerzone:
The lynch for the day, as far as I'm concerned. Highly discourteous behavior that seemingly made the previous player in my spot replace, I dislike this and think it's rather anti-town to post like that. His posts also come off as highly defensive in my opinion. In addition, his attack on HD is a blatant OMGUS.
Wisdom:
Leaning town. I disagree with a lot of his reasoning, I've got to say. I thought petroleumjelly raised some decent points against him, but I do in fact like and am satisfied with Wisdom's rebuttal.
zabriel:
Leaning scummy. I agree with his reasoning for the Tigerzone PL, but I dislike the fact that he's kept his vote on the same slot since the beginning of the game. His scum-hunting essentially consists of him wanting to PL Tiger and questioning Wisdom about his stance on HD. He is only offering the Tiger PL, yet he dedicates posts to defending Mollie. I find the general lack of scum-hunting scummy. It also doesn't help that he has a decent post count in this game, which really drives the point home how little he's actually doing. ISO him and you find lots of posts, but little content. He played the same way in the game I played with him, where he was scum.
Right now, the best lynch is clearly Tigerzone in my opinion. He has a few votes on him, so I'm going to check the vote count before I vote him.I am the self-made liberator,
I am the alpha and omega.-

If tigerzone does prove to be scum then I'd be willing to bet the farm on PetroleumJelly being a partner. The way he jumped ship as soon as tigerzone showed useless behavior is quite telling.
That's hardly a tell. PetroleumJelly clearly wasn't comfortable with playing in a game with "foul language", he made a request to tone it down and tiger came back with a direct attack.I am the self-made liberator,

If someone has an answer to this, I'd really like to hear it.
My stance on Mollie hasn't changed with her most recent posts, I'm still fine with lynching her. I dislike the HD vote, and the HD wagon itself needs to die. An OMGUS is not what I wanted to see out of Mollie right now.
@ everyone defending Mollie, riddle me this:
If Mollie plays this way every game, then why should we keep her alive? How are you going to know if she got a scum role in this game? I don't care if she plays this way as town, how are you going to figure out her alignment if she's scum?
If you can't read her, then she's just a liability and needs to go. End of story.
@ fuzzy:
It's not the Wisdom vote itself that bothers me, moreso the fact that were unable to find a better vote. I don't care if he was ever in danger of being lynched, it's your lack of scum-hunting I find troublesome. I find your forms of questioning players a bit weak. Not at all liking your reasoning for voting HD, either.
Also, in my reads I threw out some points about Tiger that weren't just about his uncalled attitude. What do you think about them?
I must confess I'm skimming through a lot of the back-and-forth between Wisdom and HD. From what I have
read, I see this as a town-on-town confrontation. I'm confident that HD is town, Wisdom to a lesser extent but overall he seems pro-town.
@ Wisdom:
In the game I played with him, HD became increasingly frustrated when I was pushing for the lynch of a player I found scummy but he did not. Not quite as frustrated (he didn't resort to an all-caps post), but his frustration now definitely falls in line with the profile of his play in the game I played with him.
I haven't seen anything out of HD that seems out of the ordinary.
Mollie voting Wisdom is so sudden and ubrupt and it feels very contrived. I dislike Mollie's playstyle more and more with each post.
@ tigerzone:
Your vote was an OMGUS because you immediately responded with a counter-vote, for reasons that weren't quite valid enough to warrant the vote on HD. Your reasons basically amount to, "you're scum because you disagree with me." That's not a case and it's OMGUS.
As for examples of your defensiveness, you talk about your actions and how they're not scummy quite a lot. Definitely more so than the amount of effort you've put into scum-hunting. This comes off as quite defensive.
I'm not joining the Wisdom wagon. Sorry to disappoint. I see more pro-town things about him then scummy things.
I would like to say I completely agree with Prohawk on this, and instead of seeing Prohawk replace I would like to see tiger replaced. Prohawk, I urge you to reconsider replacing. You have support for tiger's replacement/lynch here, I'd hate to see you give up on this.
My vote stands on tiger, it is only partially due to his disrespectful playstyle, however. Also because he is overly defensive and he overreacted to a reasonable post by HD. These are scummy reactions and are definitely telling.I am the self-made liberator,
I am the alpha and omega.-

I read it and don't feel particularly enlightened.
You came off as very frustrated and Wisdom's reaction seems genuine to me. Pure townie frustration can be difficult for scum to pull off, so it's not unreasonable backing off the wagon.
I read your interaction with Wisdom as town-on-town and I stand by that.
Now come wagon Tiger with me, because I actually have reasoning other than his disrespectful behavior towards the player previously in my slot. Look at his defensive nature in his posts and tell me how he isn't scum.
In post 354, fuzzybutternut wrote:As far as your other reads, I agree with the OMGUS part. I honestly can't tell if HD and Tiger are town, or scum. I could see scum coming into the game, and talking back and forth like this, constantly, in fact, so much that it takes up pages and pages of what could be actual content.
So far, you haven't liked either of my votes. Tell me then. Who should I vote for Oh mighty Disturbed_One?
I guess I can accept that, as much as I dislike your scum-hunting methods, this post does seem genuine.
I won't tell you who to vote for, though if you're looking for approval, I would find a Tiger or Mollie vote much more productive than your current vote.
Do you really find HD using a meta-tell to discern my alignment all that scummy?I am the self-made liberator,

In post 357, fuzzybutternut wrote:Given that it was after your first post, where you had done nothing but state your opinions on certain people, yes. Had he waited until later, when you had posted more and scum hunted, I wouldn't have found it scummy at all. There is no way one post can give away alignment. That post read null to me.
But he actually played a game with me, is that really such an outlandish call to make? I'll admit, I found his declaration strange at first too, but once he explained it, I didn't have a problem with his reasoning.
I did the same exact thing to read him in this game, I used a previous game I had played with him to make a comparison. He even posted the game he used to make the judgment.
Glad we're seeing tiger replaced.I am the self-made liberator,

Well, to be fair, your "explanation" was simply putting together a ton of Wisdom's posts and expecting me to come to the same conclusion you did about them.
But yes, I do like what Prohawk has to say on the matter and I agree. I didn't observe this until now (probably because I skimmed through a lot of the banter between yourself and Wisdom), but Wisdom seems to say a lot of things he/she doesn't really mean. That does seem a bit strange to me.
I also personally dislike how he defends more people than he actually accuses, which makes it seem as though he's trying to "buddy up" with as many people as possible, so he has allies if he needs them. Some of his reasoning/explanation for defending players is downright weird, for example, calling Mollie town from a null read.
I also wanted to directly respond to Wisdom's point in post #365.
In post 365, Wisdom wrote:In post 348, Disturbed_One wrote:

I strongly dislike this. What, are you proposing a policy lynch on mollie now? Who said that nobody can read her?
Yes, I am. No one said they couldn't read her, but who said they could actually read her? If Mollie plays anti-town every game, then there is no way to prove what her alignment actually is. If she got a scum-role, we'd be none the wiser from her playstyle.
That said, I asked a reasonable question which you completely chose to ignore, and seeing as you choose to defend Mollie this means that you are in fact dodging a question that is directed at you. Why did you cut that part of my post out, Wisdom?
My question still stands. If Mollie is scum, then who here knows how to read her? Prove how you're going to figure out what alignment she is, ultimately. If you can't, then she is ultimately a liability.
I'm starting to think Wisdom may in fact be the lynch of the day.

In post 383, Wisdom wrote:Why would I know who can read her and who can't? We will read her as any other player - based on her posts and actions. There never was an issue that mollie is such an awesome player that we'll never read her (although that might become the case if you insert Majiffy in the mix, but we'll see), so proposing a policy lynch is terribad. We should lynch scum, not whoever is difficult to read.
Or because I'm trying to scumhunt and I can't see people accusing people for bullshit reasons, such as things solely related on playstyle. It's not even like I defended anyone, I just shot down the accusations on mollie and slimer because they were bullshit - I am not sure either of them is town though.
You didn't answer why you cut my question out of my post. Why did you that, Wisdom?
Not proposing a way to read an otherwise unreadable player is what's "terribad" here. What I am saying is that Mollie plays in a way that's anti-town, so how do we determine that player's alignment if they play this way every game? I'm not saying you should know the answer to this. My point here is that you can't tell the difference between town-Mollie and scum-Mollie. If you think you can, prove it. (Although judging by your responses to me, I think you cannot.)
I'd hate to be in a position where it becomes vital to our survival to figure out if she's town or not, for example, LYLO. That's my fear here, and nothing you have said has alleviated that fear.
You say Mollie isn't unreadable, prove it. Show me a game where she got busted as scum using her strategy. And I don't mean by playing the way she is now. Because according to you, there should be a difference between town-Mollie and scum-Mollie. Correct? If so, prove it. Show me a game. If not, then your point is null, frankly.
"We should lynch scum, not whoever is difficult to read."
And what do you propose we do if the ones that are hard to read get the scum role-card? I don't think Mollie can be read. If you think differently, show me that game.
Shooting down accusations, regardless of if they're actually "bullsmurf" or not, on behalf of someone else is defending them. Any player can defend themselves, so you doing it for them is defending them, whether you agree you did so or not. That's exactly what you did, you defended them.
This is my central problem with you, really. You're not sure if mollie and slimer are actually town, yet you're defending them and doing nothing to figure out their alignment. As I said, you are spending more effort defending people than actually scum-hunting.
So if you're not actually scum-hunting, then what in fact are you doing? My vote stands.I am the self-made liberator,
I am the alpha and omega.-

In post 390, Wisdom wrote:Yeah and I'll repeat, who said that she's "unreadable"? You're misrepping and it's bad.
Do you think that someone can tell the alignment of a player basing only on meta? Let her post more, let actions unfold and we'll be able to read her. I don't understand how she becomes "unreadable" because certain actions of her are null.
I don't understand why you think mollie cannot be read. Have you had a problem with reading her in the past? How is she different than any other player in here? Can I be read? Can you be read? Can slimer be read? Possibly, when we do certain actions and post certain things we might be able to be read. Same goes for mollie. I don't understand why she's different for you.
I didn't defend anyone, I merely pointed out the accusations were invalid. You're still misrepping.
I'm not quoting anyone, just stating my opinion, yet I'm misrepresenting? You're the one who's misrepresentingme, nowhere did I say that I thought anyone had said that.
That's not at all my point. My point is exactly the opposite of what you're saying. My point is that I do not believe Mollie can be read, my "evidence" for this point is that she plays inherently anti-town regardless of her alignment. You're claiming that you think we can read her based on her actions, I am just asking you to back that up with previous experience. I'm not saying that meta can determine her alignment, in fact I'm saying the exact opposite. I donotthink meta can determine her alignment. I do not think observing her actions can determine her alignment, either. And for these reasons, I am saying that I feel she is fair game to lynch. Based on the grounds that we cannot tell if she is town or scum, and therefore that makes her dangerous.
I have never played with Mollie before. Mollie is different from the other players because she plays in a way that is anti-town, regardless of alignment. slimer is also different in this regard. You and I are more likely to play pro-town regardless of our alignment, though we can actually "slip-up" when we post something anti-town. Mollie and slimer cannot, because they are already posting in an anti-town fashion, so therefore it is impossible for them to slip up.
I'm not misrepresenting you, and I have no need to argue with you about this. Youdiddefend them, and you're not fooling anyone. Simply stating that I am misrepresenting you does not actually make it so.I am the self-made liberator,
I am the alpha and omega.-

no, whatyouare doing is buddying up. wisdom is defending players against hd's dumb accusation do you know why? cos they are really dumb.
eta: I have not even read the xposts yet, I have been texting majiffy trying to get our account activated.
list what I have done that is anti-town, k tia
what hd listed were things he finds scummy...he is wrong and it is funny cos he is somebody who has actuallyseenmy scum game. I was recruited in a game we played together. you are calling those same things anti-town. you know what that implies? that you know my alignment. the only people who could know my alignment for sure are scum. and you have been banging on for pages about, "how I am so hard to read" and I should be lynched for it. w.t.f.
jesus christ I am hydra-ing with majiffy cos shit like this ^^^ makes me lose my temper and I will vote him cos I think he is being an ass although he just dropped that he thinks I am town but he wants to lynch me anyways for shitty reasons and then tries to paint anybody who disagrees with those shitty reasons as scummy.
scumhunting comes down to discerning whether or not a post comes from a town POV and yours reeks DO. so does hd's cos he is basically trying to meta me on meta he has but somehow is managing to ignore.
sorry I got paranoid about you wisdom.
Calling players dumb does two things:
1. It actually makes you look dumber than the people who are actually making valid points.
2. It illustrates how you don't have a point in the first place, because if you had one, you'd be making it instead of calling other players names.
I'm glad you agree that Wisdom is defending people, because you know he says that he doesn't. It's a very pro-town thing, to do one thing and say another, right?
Hmm... why aren't you voting Wisdom again?
I think HD's arguments were and still are valid. Prove how they aren't, preferably in reasoning that doesn't consist of "because he's dumb."
You are anti-town because nearly all of your posts are void of any content. The content that you do actually post is either impossible to understand or not at all useful. You also do not go very in-depth on your reads, and instead call your scum-reads names, suggesting you don't actually have any reason to suspect them in the first place.
Interesting... so HD is wrong, and that makes him scum? Seeing as Wisdom was unable to answer this question, maybe you can answer it for me. Show me one of your scum games and illustrate how it is any different from the one you're playing now. HD knows how you play as scum? I don't know how you play as scum, why don't you tell me?
I don't know how you made the connection that because I call you "anti-town" that I somehow know your alignment. Frankly, I don't care either, as it's a bunch of malarkey.
I honestly cannot understand the rest of your post, it's seemingly gibberish. Something about how my play "reeks", once again not for any discernible reason other than the fact you disagree with me.
Case in point, you don't actually have any valuable scum-reads. That's probably because you're not actually scum-hunting.

hey bud, I gave you some pro-tips on how to scum hunt...you read a post and you determine the motivation behind the post. if you use that criteria you cannot say anything that I have done in this game is anti-town
also your fixation is starting to feel a little creepy and weird and/or downright scummy, I just can't tell if it is feigned or not
I responded to your previous post how you are anti-town. I willnotrepeat myself.
The thing is, I'd be comfortable lynching you based on your behavior alone. Your behavior has been "anti-town" in my opinion, and I'd be fine lynching you for it. The only thing that keeps me from voting you this very instant, is the fact you seemingly play this way every single game. I can andhaveread you as anti-town, I would lynch you if not for the fact you always play this way.
No one has said they can read you. I've asked for specific examples from your pal, Wisdom, but he has been unable to answer that question other than saying that we'll somehow be able to figure it out from your play. I don't agree, because if you always play in an anti-town fashion, there's no way you can slip-up anymore than you are already doing.
Do you play pro-town as scum or something? Unless you do, then there is no way to read you. I have requested you to illustrate how your scum game is different from your town game. Until you do, I am forced to believe there is not a difference.
Actually, I can totally say almost everything you've done in this game is anti-town, using that exact criteria. As I said, the only thing keeping me from voting based on this information, is that it is normal play for you.
Interesting theory. I was previously unaware one could be "fixated" while pursuing another read entirely and voting for that read. I'll be sure to note this for the future, thank you for enlightening me!I am the self-made liberator,

Yes, you're taking several things that areyour own interpretationsas facts, and I call that misrepping. Like for example that "I defended people" while I defended nobody (because I don't count pointing out that bullshit accusations are bullshit as defending), or that mollie is unreadable (I still dont understand how on earth you came up with this).
We have different opinions of what is "anti-town", because I don't consider mollie's play anti-town. She's scumhunting in her own way. Same goes for slimer. Each person plays differently. They might be criticized at first but once you play with them and become familiar with them you understand that's their normal play.
I do not understand where you pulled "mollie is unreadable" out of. This is your claim, and you should be the one to prove why she is. I don't have any obligation to prove why she isn't unreadable because simply, by default, players are not unreadable. You're the one who suddenly came up with "mollie is unreadable". And now you say you have not played with her. This is bullshit, and probably scummy too.
That's not misrepresenting you, that's calling it how I see it. Perhaps I'm wrong, but that's my opinion. I am quite thankful to have one, actually. Your misrepresentation is in fact greater, because you are putting words in my mouth that I never said.
However, it's not an opinion that you defended mollie and others, though. What you did is the definition of defending someone. Feel free to disagree with the universal definition to defending someone, but by that definition you are guilty of defending others.
Think about it. If an accusation is made, it is up to the accused to defend that accusation. By attacking that accusation, you are thereby robbing them of that responsibility and taking it on as your own responsibility.
You can tell me I'm wrong, but I'm not. And I'm confident others will see it that way as well.
I still say Mollie is unreadable and have factual evidence as to why she is that way. Unless you have counter-evidence, you do not have a point. It's that simple really. Honor my request and find a scum game she plays differently, and then we'll talk.
If you believe Mollie is scum-hunting, you are mistaken. What she does is not called scum-hunting. You're a fool if you believe throwing out baseless accusations and using "this player is dumb" as a point constitutes scum-hunting.
I have more than adequately expressed my views on Mollie and do not need to prove anything. You claim she can be read. Until you back up that statement, you do not have a point. You're attacking my point, if you want your attack to have any validity, then you need to back up your statement.
My request is not unreasonable. By not abiding to it, you have proven you cannot back up your statement. Your argument is completely invalid and baseless.
Furthermore, answer my question this instant about why you directly cut out part of my post. I'm tired of you dodging it and I'm not even considering unvoting until you explain why you did that. You ignored a question that was directed at Mollie's defenders, which include you. You chose to respond to my post, but not the question. Why is that?
I am done arguing with you about Mollie. Prove your statements or I will not accept them as valid. Show me one of Molly's scum games. As you said, townies are supposed to look for meta anyway, so go fetch me that meta where Molly plays a scum game differently than how she plays her town game.I am the self-made liberator,

So what makes her anti-town is the "lack of content"?
Awesome - tell me how slimer, The Puck, Siveure, kmd have posted any more content than mollie. By your logic, they're all anti-town.
The content that she posts is impossible to understand? I disagree, I understand everything she has said. Ifyoucannot understand, that doesn't mean it's impossible to understand. Same goes for the usefulness.
No, that doesn't make her anti-town. That's a playstyle. And the longer you keep taking "mollie is anti-town" as a given, the more it will look like you're scum and you're misrepping on purpose. Because that's bullshit - mollie is not being anti-town.
Lack of content and putting forth no effort towards a cohesive thought regarding scum-hunting, other than "HD is stupid". Yes, that is what makes her anti-town.
I have expressed that I feel similarly about slimer, but he's actually been able to express some cohesive thoughts, unlike Mollie. For example, his vote on you was clearly reasoned in comparison to any post Mollie has ever made.
"Lack of posts" doesnotequal "lack of content." Mollie has a decent post count, but the content within the posts is what is lacking.
I can understand most of what she says, but some of her posts I find difficult to read. You're right, that is a personal thing, it still doesn't change the fact her posts are generally void of content.
Yes, it does make her anti-town. Simply stating it is not does not make it so.I am the self-made liberator,

Her posts are fine, if you don't like them/ don't understand them it's your own problem. Saying she is anti-town because of that is bullshit - saying she is unreadable is even bigger bullshit. You're merely attacking playstyle.
@403
I don't care who thinks what. I simply respond to whatever I feel is invalid. If you want to take it as defending, fine.
You don't? That's interesting, you've spent quite a lot of time attempting to do just that.
You are correct that my statements are essentially opinions. What makes yours any different? If I have to prove my statements using meta, than so do you. It is illogical to think you have a point here.
I could say that you thinking her posts are "fine" is "bullsmurf", but I won't, because that's not even a valid argument. Her posts lack content, it's a fact. Anyone that ISOs her (except for you, apparently) should be able to figure that out.I am the self-made liberator,

Mollie doesn't play like a "normal" player plays this game, don't try to act like she does. There's nothing normal about her play-style or theslimer's playstyle. I am not any more obliged to prove my statements than you are.
Not posting content 15 pages into the game is simply not a "playstyle thing."I am the self-made liberator,

He says they're just null reads, which is interesting because he spends so much time defending them that you'd think they're town reads. A null read typically doesn't constitute that, but there's a ton of posts he dedicates to defending them.

@Disturbed: Do you have meta examples of yourself where you support policy lynches, like that? (As both alignments if possible, please.)
I do not have any meta examples. Although, Tiger was not a PL for me. I had reasoning other than his behavior that made me think he was scummy. He played highly defensively and his case on HD was a complete OMGUS. I am aware that wasn't quite enough to seal the deal for you, however.
Why HD? He's one of the towniest players here.

You know, just because you call it something else, doesn't mean it isn't defending someone. In fact, attacking accusations is defending. So by attacking accusations aimed at other people, you are defending them.

I don't understand exactly what you mean. Are you saying that you think they're null or that they're indicative of alignment? Just don't quite understand your phrasing.

Really not liking your attitude. Truth be told, it's annoying the hell out of me. I had to replace in this game and had eight or so pages to read. And you know what? I read them. Twice. Then when I came back, I had six more pages to read. And I read them.

In post 480, Mitillos wrote:@Disturbed: To be honest I don't see it. You say he hasn't addressed your question. The thing is, I said you were pushing for a PL on mollie. The same thing Wisdom said. That's exactly addressing your question, in what I consider a pro-town manner. We shouldn't lynch mollie (or anyone) for being too hard to read, because that would be a PL and PLs are generally bad. Now mollie is in a hydra (which makes reading her harder) with Majiffy (who is also quite difficult to read). Should we lynch them for that, irrespective of their actual alignment? No, that's a very anti-town thing to do.
I take Wisdom's response to be a perfectly valid answer and my read on him is town.
If you don't see it, then you don't see it. I can't help you there. Either you're blind, or I'm reading too much into this. But I still see it that way and it has everything to do with the fact he cut out the question.
You tell me, why cut out part of a post if you're addressing it? That's because he wasn't addressing it directly.
PLs being bad is your opinion. I'll be honest; I'm not the biggest fan of PLs myself. However, I do think they can be a necessary evil when playing with players that would be too difficult to discern their alignment, if they got a scum role-card. In the case of Mollie and also in the case of theslimer3, who refuse to play this game the way most people go about playing it, it makes it difficult for us to judge their behavior rationally, because their behavior is not at all normal play for town or scum.
I feel this makes players like Mollie and theslimer3 a liability. It's my opinion players such as themselves are fair game to be lynched.
That's my opinion and I stand by it. I respect that you have a different opinion, but I think you're wrong and I do wish you'd see things my way, because I feel I'm not coming from an illogical place here.
I would never lynch Majiffy just because he's Majiffy, but that's because he's not different in terms of playstyle. He's just a damn good player. He is difficult to read, but not because he plays in an inherently harmful way to the town. His playstyle is fairly normal, he is just good at playing an identical town game to his scum game.
He's also not impossible to read, just highly difficult to read. I consider an anti-town playstyle, like the ones Mollie and theslimer3 use, to be an impossible to read playstyle.
I have asked for evidence to show that it is possible to read them, but it has not been given to me. I can directly prove that Majiffycanbe read, as I played a game with him where he was scum and we foiled his plan, ultimately. No one has directly proven to me that Mollie and theslimer3 can be read.
That's all I'm asking for. I don't think that's unreasonable.I am the self-made liberator,

I didn't cut out anything, stop using this silly misrep. Your claim that mollie is unreadable was bullshit, and my reaction to it was absolutely enough.
So now slimer too? Noted.
You are. Different people have different playstyles. That does not mean they are anti-town and that does not mean they're unreadable.
And nobody needs to, because saying they're unreadable is a huge stretch.
It is. The majority of the players can be read. If you can't read them, and you're not willing to try in just your first game with them, you're just a bad player.
Yeah, see the thing is this. Youdidcut out part of my post. The only person that is misrepresenting you is yourself, ironically enough.
Your mom. I know that's not a valid argument, but just calling my argument bullsmurf isn't a valid argument, either. Do you understand how silly your denial sounds?
I have always maintained that about slimer3. Check my reads, bro.
It does mean they are anti-town and it does make them unreadable. Submit evidence to the contrary, or be disregarded. The only reason you are continuing with this silly little "argument" of yours, is because you can't actually prove your point. That is because it is arbitrary. In fact, if you had a point, you would have proven it posts ago.
You can't prove that what I'm saying is a huge stretch. Neither can you provide evidence for your claim that Mollie can be read. Therefore, your entire argument is invalid.
What you can't seem to grasp with that head of yours, is that I have, in fact, read them. And the results of my read, are that they are anti-town. The fact that you think that you can argue with the results of my own personal read, is hilarious. A read is just that and nothing more. You have completely misconstrued my entire point and posted walls of text (if we were to collect your posts) about how I'm so wrong and illogical and you're somehow right. Despite the fact, of course, that you are unable to submit any form of logical evidence to the contrary.I am the self-made liberator,

Wisdom's reaction is still scummy. He could have just said that she's been caught or showed me a game, but he didn't. Instead, we got walls of text about how the burden of proof wasn't on him. He's still scum and needs to be lynched.

I read her as completely the same from this game to that game. Maybe I'm a bad judge, I can't really see much of a difference. If you have any specifics on what exactly is any more scummy about her than this game, I'd be happy to hear them.

I wasn't making a comparison. I was using your play as an example of a difficult player to read. I could have used Thor as an example, but instead I chose to use an example of a player actually playing in this game.
I do not actually agree that your play is similar and am not comparing your play to Mollie's. I am surprised you thought I was.
Only you could have the gall to tell me to read the thread when at least a page or two is formed every time I log on. Not using that as an excuse, just saying.
That said, is that really your best explanation? Come now, I think you can do better than that. That's not at all a very specific explanation. I've seen you go through an entire ISO to attempt to get me mislynched in the game I played with you, yet this is how you explain a town-read? With two sentences and no coherent conclusion?

Miscounted, it was only three pages. Basically, all I missed were some more back-and-forths between Wisdom and HD.
Which reminds me. People not reading HD's posts. Go read them. And then do something useful and jump on the Wisdom wagon, because this guy is ridiculously scummy.
He keeps going on and on about how I misrepresented him. I never did anything like that. On the other hand, plenty of my posts have been blatantly misrepped by Wisdom.
Yes, I was for Mollie's PL. So what? If it weren't for the fact that I'm completely sold on lynching Wisdom today, I'd probably still be happy with the Mollie PL. Majiffy isn't really redeeming the slot for me honestly. I'm really not sold on his sappy explanation for why he thinks Wisdom is town.
Though there's no way Wisdom and Majiffy are the scum team. Majiffy would be busing the hell out of Wisdom if that were the case.

Was for it, but now that the slot is a hydra it's not really viable. Even if it weren't a hydra, all I asked for was some meta and zabriel delivered that.

@ Riot:
What I didn't like about fuzzy first and foremost was his parked vote. He placed it on Wisdom for RVS reasons and never actually retracted it. He also directly asked several players about their stance on an issue before really formulating his own opinion, which is another red flag for me.
Didn't see much scum-hunting come out of him at all, really.
I don't like mcqueen because of the whole VI self-meta thing. I feel he's over-relying on that and I can see potential scum abuse there.
