I didn't dislike her at first. The repeated flaking and the sense of entitlement got to me though. I spent so much time trying to help but the slightest reality check and she'd wig out.

Have you played with Adorable?
I have, and never before in my career have I so strongly felt that the contrast between the Adorable I'm seeing now and the Adorable I saw before is due to a different alignment. Adorable this game is oozing obvscum, not to mention, radiating an entirely different aura than when I played with her before, where she was obvtown pretty much immediately.

Fair point. What do you think of Titus' reasoning?I have a This Game answer and a Not This Game answer to this question.In post 347, EspressoPatronum wrote:Are you asking about Titus because you also scumread her? Why not ask about the townreads, too?
This Game Answer: I think it is interesting that you both scumread one another.
And further, do you think my read of her questioning on me is accurate?
Re: the addendum -- I sometimes find it helpful to sort people based on their reasons for townreading (eg. Volpe's reason for townreading me in TM20). Your scumreads won't always be correct, so sometimes you can find town based on their town reads.Not This Game Answer: I think it is easier to find scum by looking at their scumhunting, not their townhunting.
Addendum to the Not This Game: Scum are going to be necessarily correct when they call townies town. Probing a scum's mind for correctly townreading a townie seems like an exercise fit for a Lovecraft punishment. [...]
That being said, I know from MM2 that your specialty is looking for scum first. It makes sense that you'd therefore focus on your suspect's reasons for their scumreads.

I had already explained in the above post my position in Suji, and I have also talked about how I haven't really read much of the game, skimmed a lot. It's somewhat apparent I wouldn't have a grasp in EP's situation, and Chronos x EP in this past posts have been so much theory oriented I have began to skim it as well.
I don't like you asking me about EP when I've stated multiple times to not have a hold on every slot yet but it's ok, something still relatively normal/natural to post/question.
Now, asking me about Suji when I explained in the post above seems like you trying to look busy. Skimming my posts would be fine as well but why question my read list when you've not even read my post explaining it?
This post right here is an excellent example. How can your reads have merit when you don't even know the context to put them in?In post 389, Churros wrote:If someone would post a succinct explanation of anything major that happened in the game before it would be very helpful by the way.

Best case scenario, Adorable flips scum and mastina is cleared, which we don't really need because she'd likely be a night target anyway. TEAM STRQ again, gobbles stepped it up a bit and want to call it a lean town. That's about it.
If she's town, we just let scum hide onto her wagon without providing much reasoning and on Day 2 it's like we start Day 1 all over again.

BP's vote was highly scum indicative. He complained about the pace of the game, which was slow. He also didn't vote anyone who was actively posting at the time.

In this case, that's Gobble in a landslide.
I have no interest in readwalling for you because there's two lockscum reads (EP and BP) , one probably scum read (Gobble), one backup read (RS) and the rest are town by PoE. Could I be wrong? Sure.

Everything I do is confirming your misconception. You're actively resisting the only way I know how to get you out of that tunnel -- by engaging with you. So you're either town tunneling me hard or you're scum trying for a mislynch. In the event that I am wrong on the latter, I would like to engage with you to help correct the former.
If you insist on scumreading me this strongly without engaging in a good-faith dialogue, I ask that you at least do a blank-slate re-evaluation of me later.
Hi. Don't think I didn't notice this vote.
No one besides Egix is willing to vote EP atm. BP is coasting and no one cares. So that leaves you. You're the slot that has a wagon on it. I'd prefer EP or BP because they're patently obvscum (no one TRs them) but I'll settle for likely scum defending obvscum.

I had you as a townlean because I strongly disagree with Raven's methods. He did something similar to me (ie. A condescending push) when I was town and he was scum, so his push on you suggested your towniness to me.
Mastina, on the other hand, put forward a compelling case against you. She is the reason I am now willing to vote you.
If your wagon continues to grow, I highly suggest you ignore Titus' advice and claim. Egix has rightfully pointed out that claiming loses some of its usefulness in a role madness game, but I'm willing to wait for your claim until I make up my mind.
