A follow up to your last sentence - who wouldn't go the baton as scum?In post 48, Gay Dance Gone Wrong wrote:
Depends how strong scum is. Usually I don't see them going for the first grab at the baton and they'll probably just get enough town cred to get the baton passed to them.

I am not super familiar with either of those players or their meta. I will take your word for it, but by virtue of their hydra partners I am not sure I am willing to entertain that for the first day.In post 65, Dannflor wrote:

Nancy can too unless you suspect RC will be writing her posts for her.-

Disagree with this logic.In post 402, Celestial Coordinates wrote:
I don’t think scum!Shoshin votes us here without pressure. I’ve played with town/scum and SK!Shoshin. RC usually catches scum!Shoshin, so it probably wouldn’t be in her interest to vote us here, unless town.In post 399, Nachomamma8 wrote:I like Shoshin's opening as well, don't think it's incredibly likely for scum to start a tilt on Wisdom for the reasons that she has so far.-

Disagree with this logic and it’s interpretation.In post 363, Nachomamma8 wrote:As far as setup thoughts go:
Your approach here for the first baton holder seems to be that you're looking for "someone I am 100% confident is town" as opposed to "greatest threat to scum", which is backwards.In post 56, Oversoul wrote:People I will never support for first round baton:
RC hydra
Ankamius hydra

Shoshin
Chances are there will be a number of firm townreads that are correct (there usually are), but the person you want to preserve for the next day phase are the people who will make the greatest positive impact.
Sakura, why did you agree with this list? Why is it such a big deal if one of those players were bulletproof N1?-

The last time scumShoshin tried to fight townRC it did not go well for her. I think the general scum strategy used to deal with problematic loud town voices is to placate them. Part of placating them is "correctly" town read them. I could see scum Shoshin do that. Since I made the post disagreeing with the logic, townShoshin has grown on me.In post 411, Dannflor wrote:Oversoul can you please explain which parts you disagree with and why
The two lists are people that I think are beneficial to town if town and received the BP. I just separated that list into two different insurance categories. The first list is a list of people that would destroy the town if scum and widely townread. The second list is if those people are wrongly town read as scum, the town would not get destroyed.In post 412, Nachomamma8 wrote:

This implies you townread the Cici hydra, right?In post 615, Oh wrote:Don't read "I think you should be protected first," read "If you're protected first because people are legitimately town reading you, that's ok with me. I'm not opposed to it."
TBH I'm not really sure how you can read it the former way anyways?-

I don't see how you can be ok with town giving Cici the BP ability if you're not town reading Cici in the first place. Even at null, I don't think
Iwould be ok with town giving Cici the BP ability.-

I don't like how Ceph began the day. He was commenting a lot on playstyle, mechanics, and mafia in general. I felt like that was not conducive to developing reads if he cared about them.In post 685, Shoshin wrote:Why are you scumreading Ceph, Oversoul? He feels town to me.
I also find it odd that people did not initially vote for themselves. Ceph did that and so did Gay Dance which is what pinged me about them, but it seems like a lot of people did that oddly enough.-

I don’t think it’s pointless to do. Discussion has to start somewhere. I immediately self voted and several people agreed, so that defeats your argument entirely.In post 1070, Wisdom wrote:
dont think thats scummyIn post 1066, Oversoul wrote:I find Shoshin scummy for a similar reason I find Gay Dance scummy. I did not like how they only self voted after people started saying they were town.
its pointless to vote yourself if other people dont vote you ie have a real chance to get batoned-

Not that this matters but RC has a 100% read rate on me. That’s why if he calls me scum this game, then he’s scum.In post 1071, Wisdom wrote:gif without even looking im positive rc hasnt read anyone 100% correctly-

Don’t these two points contradict one another?In post 1092, Gay Dance Gone Wrong wrote:Anyway, now that I had my fun with lollogic, I'll talk about reads now.
There were actually few things that pinged me re: Shoshin.
1. She showed confidence on reading RC and then, well, just assumed that RC is town this game. Last time I played with town her she was going all out trying to continuously sort RC. This plus voting CC for protection looks like it could be trying to buddy up to avoid conflict with RC. Because RC tends to bite less if you don't call him scum ya know?
2. The timing on her vote change.
Now not too long before her switch, RC posted things that could possibly indicate that he was not townreading Shoshin.
In post 534, Celestial Coordinates wrote:I think that Shoshin is 100% not going to die N1.In post 536, Celestial Coordinates wrote:Shoshin definitely shouldn’t die but statistically, we’re still the most likely to get shot.
Now I don't know if RC actually meant Shoshin here, but I think it is very plausible that someone as self-conscious as Shoshin would definitely pick them up as a red flag.In post 548, Celestial Coordinates wrote:I suppose that I could be doing both but I'm not doing both becauseI have a specific scumread in mind and I don't feel like pursuing other people until I spend more time on them.
Scum-Shoshin would now want RC slot dead, hence moving her vote away from RC.
Like, the timing is just way too perfect for it to be coincidence.-
