I got on maybe an hour ago, and I'm up to page 5. I'm trying to catch up, but here are my notes.
TD's #52, Miller post or not withstanding was probably the dumbest/opportunist post of this game. If everyone clears an early claiming miller as innocent in every game and it's known site meta, scum will catch on and adapt. It's what scum -does-. Voting Nacho because Nacho pressured Sven is counter-intuitive. It needs to be checked.
Orc's #64 shows he actually thought about what would actually happen, particularly if Sven is a weak player.
Sven #71. I hate WIFOM and you should too. Having one scum in front often can allow other scums to hide. Having an alibi of 'I'm a Miller, don't waste your time investigating/lynching me' is also a possible play, particularly if you bother looking townie.
Cabd #76. Wrong answer. Scum would probably monopolize the confusion or even risk lynching a scum buddy for free Town points.
Nacho #89, Cabd did pull a stance, but his conjecture's wrong. It also clears him.
TD #99, WHY IS NO ONE CALLING TD ABOUT HIS REMOVING HIS VOTE FROM NACHO?
GIF #100 I retract statement on #99.
Nacho #113, his logic is horrible, but that doesn't mean he's scum. By the way, TD, how you feel about that?
BRO #114: Generally, yes, Miller claims are town. The problem with this post is the logic almost goes back and forth. Not entirely fencesitting, but..
That's it for these sets of pages. I'll try to super fast read from here on out."You live for the fight when it's all that you've got."--Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer-

Up to Page 10:
Var #136: That usually means there's a 50/50 chance you ain't town
Sven #139: Why would you ask the first question?
Orc #141: Yes. I will lynch half a dozen reaction test guy with you too. I fucking hate reaction tests.
Sven #149: If you've ever played with Nacho he's not acutally 'being bad at this' right now.
Orc #158: GET OUT OF MY HEAD.
Mac #161: This is true of almost every claim. If you're townie, you get killed. It's why Townie's can't afford to let themselves die. Why did you feel the need to post this?
TD #168: Someone asked you a question. Please answer the question. Plus, why did you feel the need to post this?
Mac #177: WIFOM is bad, but you not giving any sort of read is more bad. (Badder?)
Mac #179: You going to be this lazy during the game? Let me know know so I can vote you.
Fuck it.
Vote: Mac
\Sven, 187: WHY WOULD YOU FULLCLAIM NOW?
Mac, 188: ....Yeah, I still like my vote on you.
Sajin, 190: Was this an RVS or a serious vote?
Andrus, 199: GET OUT OF MY HEAD.
AJ, 201: The bad: You bothered to do setup speculation in a Large Theme. The good: The TD vote isn't bad if albeit predictable.
Sajin, 202: Seeing this is not a bastard, what's the use of this question?
Varsoon, 210: I don't like this post. I think it's the whole 'gee, it'll be hard to find scum' and the 'flipping based on information' bits.
Sajin, 232: I don't think you understand what the word 'Miller' means...
GIF, 239: Not sold on that.
GIF, 246: *Groans. Expects some sort of labyrinthine reasoning involving a scum slip, or simply not reading the thread.*"You live for the fight when it's all that you've got."--Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer-

Up to page 20-21. There's a lot of omission here because there's a lot of meta talk here that I don't understand, bluntly.
278, TD: “My thought process here is pretty simple guys, I voted nacho because he felt opportunistic springing on something I'd never seen happen before, but have seen scum try to get a lynch out of. He proved me wrong, so I unvoted. Now I am going to revote because of the wifom shitstorm that sven has created. “ Speaking of WIFOM...this entire post is full of it. If claiming Miller early Day 1 is part of the meta, don't you think scum wouldn't of cottoned on to it?
288, Mac: ….why are we recycling this? If the first 20 pages are nothing but Miller spec, I'll flip a table.
291, don'tfucking: ...was there a point here?
294, Sajin: OK. You can be town. Varsoon can be scum for #247. I'm OK with both.
295-303: I fell asleep here. Nothing of value.
304, Varsoon: Yeah, you need to be lynched. He's given you plenty of things to respond to.
305-316: Scum claims aside, the even idea of RVS pressure makes me queasy. Or rather, fucking worthless.
339, don't: Stop crapping up the thread. RQS/RVS was about 10 pages ago.
340, Mac: This is another post that looks town but does nothing else. Maybe lurker pressure.
347, Mac: Yes, Nacho is town. Stop agreeing with him to look town.
356, don't: I only give a shit because you're shitting up the thread with nothing useful. “Learning curve” or no, I lynch that day 1.
358, BB: Don't understand your GIF and Mac reads here. Elaborate, please?
376, Rach: Next person who setup specs gets slapped. Fair warning. Elaborate on your reads a touch?
393, Mac: Scum are less likely to NK until too late for Sven, there's just too much crap there unless they need an easy lynch to end the day. I don't understand your question to Orc...are you pushing the fact that they can be lynched later?
398, Rach: Your confusion is understandable. Read 393 above.
450, AJ: Um...why aren't we lynching Mac? I mean, TD's horrible and all, but there's Mac...
477, GIF: “Fearvote?” What do you mean, fearvote?
Scum: Mac, Varsoon, don't, TD, T+random letters and all caps"You live for the fight when it's all that you've got."--Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer-

You didn't read my last post, did you. I've already placed a vote. So this entire post is not paying attention and completely fake.In post 978, Varsoon wrote:Ghostlin, it's interesting that you include me in your scum-list based off of things 500 posts ago, rather than what is currently happening.
Regardless, I find it doubly neat that you're supporting the TD wagon and my own.
Put a vote somewhere.
You should probably articulate -why-.
Also, could you explain why you're supporting some of the easiest wagons at this point? Seems like you're scum trying to push them through, rather than town that's actually convinced of scum being there.
Tl;dr- I'm not convinced. Slam a vote and make an argument."You live for the fight when it's all that you've got."--Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer-

573, Rach: Where are your scum reads? Do you have scum reads?
577, GiF: [sarcasm]Thanks...because the thread needed that...[/sarcasm]
646, Rach: What....is that a post...is this...revelant? WTF just happened?
663, TD: Could you have given us even gut reads? Checks his scum list N/M.
671, Orc: I don't know if I've ever played with Andrius, but I've read some of his games and he seems more..prolific than this.
675, Var: This shitpile gave me a headache. He wants to be friends with Orc, then votes him, then buddies him as part of the fucking reason for voting him. He's either trolling or being serious and neither one of this is protown and it's fucking CRAP.
676, Var: This just in: trying to be high king shit on high shit mountain is a fucking TOWN tell, not a SCUM one.
Varsoon's case on Orc: It's bad, and you should feel bad. No, really. PBP is a horrible way to make cases, and that's essentally what you do here. I didn't even really bother to read it.
685-686, Mac: Seriously, Mac's cruising this game. None of his posts show higher thought or anything besides things town could figure out on their own.
691, Mac: This is incredibly fence-sitty. Not on Orc, but Varshoon. Who I can't read without getting a headache, his logic is so convulted.
692, Sven: Oh, hi. No, I'm not commenting on this 'case'.
723, Mac: You want my reasoning, fine. You're being intellectually lazy, which is what they're accusing me of. A majority of your posts have been derivative reasoning to 'look town' rather than 'be town'. I've been accused of 'faking it' as scum before and honestly, you show no thought beyond the latest push and you're active enough to not be accused by lurking.
Varshoon's posts are mind-meltingly illogical, his push on me and Orc looks incredibly, incredibly fake (I've discussed this before) and his reasoning seems to be mostly based on silencing Orc, who is trying (poor guy) in directing Town. In fact, Varshoon has been trying to paying attention to certain details and ignoring others in his push for me, as evidenced in 978.
TD is much the same reasons I posted for Mac.
I don't like Don't/TMNT due to similar reasons to Mac and TD only much less posting. The words 'active lurking' come roaring to mind.
750, Var: WHAT THE FUCK DID I JUST READ.
757, Metal Sonic: Well, ok, that's lazy too. Care to explain in any of those reasons of Town/Scum?
Scum list: Same, with a order of MS (Metal Sonic, not Mafiascum)
Slightly queasy about Andrius and Rach right now, but I've got plenty of scum reads. In fact, too many damn scum for this game.
Sven is not town, but null and I want to see what happens on subsequent days.
Town is Nacho and Orc and Sj honestly. Still reading."You live for the fight when it's all that you've got."--Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer-

Alright. I'm willing to admit that I'm wrong, but this actually takes a lot of work, delves into the motivations of other players and shows decent logic in this post. This doesn't make him a 1000% town, but I like this post and seeing where he's going.In post 811, Mac wrote:
I'm not sure. you didn't say the Varsoon wagon was productive. BRO said Varsoon was under pressure and he wanted TD pressured too. you asked which wagon yields more results; he votes Varsoon because he is here (he isn't) and TD isn't.In post 801, orcinus_theoriginal wrote:
BRO voted varsoon in response to my pointing out that a varsoon wagon was more productive, no?In post 800, Mac wrote:
I kinda get what you mean, but you asked which wagon push would yield more results in general. And BRO is voting Varsoon because 'he is here' and TD isn't. kinda feels like he's wanting to follow your lead a little.In post 794, orcinus_theoriginal wrote:Because voting varsoon yields more results than voting TD?
And I feel like all the scum are piling onto TD which makes me nervous about him
I found his switch fairly natural
Talk to me about the wagon on TD though, I feel like we could figure something out here. Do you think he's town getting flak from scum as an easy lynch?
I don't see that as all that natural, it felt like he was doing it because you were pointing him in that direction but he let himself be swayed easily.
TD wagon.. hard to tell with TD. his sven vote is stupid and his "everyone hates me " post is stupid but I can't differentiate that between scum/dumb town play at the moment. Aj's vote on TD is a big misrep too, TD did not vote Nacho because "no scum would ever claim miller" but because Nacho felt opportunistic. I mean, yeah sure that is SO far from the truth about Nacho but that's a big stretch of a misrep. since then, Aj has tunneled the shit out of him and apparently believes TD is "conf scum" but how he came to this conclusion is anyone's guess.
Aj's 617 is baaaaad. like the only part I agree is the "huh interesting" part but TD didn't even say scum would NEVER claim miller. in actual fact, this is what he said:
and now let's hear aj's version:In post 52, TiphaineDeath wrote: Fakeclaiming miller is a moronic and dangerous gambit that I have never actually seen a scum use, and that's in like 20+ games.
sure the sven vote is weak but he's not wrong. sven has said some WIFOM things that is unnecessary, is it worthy of vote? no. is it scummy play from td or dumb town? probably dumb town. that's where I'm starting to lean.In post 617, Aj The Epic wrote: Post 52: The logical fallacy of "Scum would never do that and in my might 20 games, I've never seen it!" Bad logic, and if that was the case, scum would claim that shit all the time. Doesn't take a genius to figure out scum does what town is willing to give town points for.
Unvote.
Vote: TMTOLBTWNTOF
Can we talk about this guy a little? He seems to not be providing and at least five people haven't placed a vote yet; I'm liking at least one of them for scum."You live for the fight when it's all that you've got."--Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer-

Sajin's town.
Varsoon, 675 seems like you want to buddy Orc and then you vote him. Then you accuse him of trying to be 'town leader' in 676.
Explain to me the following:
675: Why would you take two diametrically opposed stances in the same post? What did it gain you, and what would the town motivation be in wanting Orc to post less? (Considering the more he posts, the easier he is to read?)
676: What would the advantage of taking a proactive role of Town Leader be scum motivated? (Keeping in mind most people scum styles aren't proactive, they're reactive?)"You live for the fight when it's all that you've got."--Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer-

Mostly because nothing you posted made me react. (I think in a later post, I did do a BB comment). With 19 players I don't know if they're town or not, that'll happen.In post 1055, BeautyAndTheBeast wrote:why are you staying away from us?
You might not like that, but right now I have you sorted in the 'null' category. I have no great love or great hate for your posting.

Elaborate. You have Var as a null, so how does my interaction with him seem scummy? Also, how does my last two votes and I'm quoting you here 'scumreads many people, never votes them without support,' considering my votes have been on Mac/you, neither of which anyone's joined me on?In post 1050, TMTOLBTWNTOF wrote:Ghostlin: After an ISO after Varsoon's read, scummy."You live for the fight when it's all that you've got."--Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer-

This wasn't what you said in your other elaboration post. Let me explain something about me to you; I despise lurking but I despise people avoiding prods by posting crap that is intended to make them look town even more. Until Mac's (I think it was 811) post, I really really thought he was part of the second camp.In post 1080, TMTOLBTWNTOF wrote:p-edit- when did I say your interataction with Var was scummy?
those were iso reads, and I misrep those, I apologize. And you never backed up your vote with a scumread, you just said "oh this guy is inactive, scum is inactive, let's vote him!"
Your reads aren't telling me much about you at all, and now you've kind of flipped slightly on your reasoning. Let me show you.
In post 1067, TMTOLBTWNTOF wrote:ghostlin: it feels like he doesn't give many reads, he mainly just fills his posts with random fluff to appear towny
post 1004's end
scumreads many people, never votes them without support
I've casted two votes this game. One on Mac. One on you to get Town talking about you (and to get you talking) because your entire game is shallow.
I freely admit I casted my vote on you because of the shallowness of your game. But I've not got much 'support' as you put it.
So, which is it, am I doing scumreads and not voting people without support, or do you dislike the fact my vote is on a player that before the vote was inactive?"You live for the fight when it's all that you've got."--Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer-

AJ:Is TD still scum to you? You explain that Andrius explained on how Miller/Tracker might be town (which explains your switch on Sven to a null) but between your last reads post and the reads post before that, you don't mention TD at all or any rationale why TD would be a null. It's like he's fallen completely off your scum list with no rhyme or reason."You live for the fight when it's all that you've got."--Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer-

First question: Yes and no. He's not the worst offender, no doubt about that, but he's responded pretty poorly to pressure. And no one's called him on it.In post 1297, BROseidon wrote:@Ghost: Do you really find letters scummier than other players that you have scumreads on? Scummier than the other players who are currently under pressure? What is your current read on Varsoon?
My biggest thing right now is he's posted a reads list, called a number of people varying degrees of scum and hasn't even bothered to place a single vote yet. That's not just fence sitting, that's extreme fence sitting. He should be getting an ass rash from the board so far up his butt.
He's willing to call me and others scummy, but isn't willing to back it up with any kind of stance.And it's frustrating me that the only other player that sees it:
1) is someone I'm completely ambivalent on my read of
2) thinks I'm scum.
A lot of people on my scum list are people who are gliding through this game. I'll own that right now. I also see no need to accelerate any wagon at this point with the amount of time left in the game. And my reads haven't changed a whole lot because of that, but I'll talk about a read I'm struggling with in the next part of this post.
Question 2: Yes, Letters is scummier than most other players under pressure. He's scummier than me, for example. AJ's got a bit more history to his reads, for example, and I don't think we'll get more out of TD. (Who I don't get muitiple player's reads on, but OK.) I'm not really contemplating either hydra for scum, not a lot has stuck out about either one of them that's makes me go 'wow, that's incredibly scummy.' He may not have been worse than Sven under pressure, but Sven was the type of bad (note I didn't say scummy) that only town can be that orgasmically, horribly bad.
Question 3: Are you in for a fucking treat. I'm going to let you in my head. There are two things warring here. Town reads and scum reads.
The town reads are that Vashoon seems to be an attention whore, being in the middle of everything. He's hard to ignore (even though Orc faked shooting him) and generally if you're annoying and kind of attention whorish, you tend to be town.
The second read is his love of reaction tests. I don't like reaction tests. Generally, they crap up the thread and you lynch someone who's innocent. I can give you at least one good example of reaction test gone horribly wrong. Generally, however, the people who execute them are Town, however I'm sure scum love their fallout because there's nothing better to scum than a lynch on a player that might not fucking suck.

First question: Yes and no. He's not the worst offender, no doubt about that, but he's responded pretty poorly to pressure. And no one's called him on it.In post 1297, BROseidon wrote:@Ghost: Do you really find letters scummier than other players that you have scumreads on? Scummier than the other players who are currently under pressure? What is your current read on Varsoon?
My biggest thing right now is he's posted a reads list, called a number of people varying degrees of scum and hasn't even bothered to place a single vote yet. That's not just fence sitting, that's extreme fence sitting. He should be getting an ass rash from the board so far up his butt.
He's willing to call me and others scummy, but isn't willing to back it up with any kind of stance.And it's frustrating me that the only other player that sees it:
1) is someone I'm completely ambivalent on my read of
2) thinks I'm scum.
A lot of people on my scum list are people who are gliding through this game. I'll own that right now. I also see no need to accelerate any wagon at this point with the amount of time left in the game. And my reads haven't changed a whole lot because of that, but I'll talk about a read I'm struggling with in the next part of this post.
Question 2: Yes, Letters is scummier than most other players under pressure. He's scummier than me, for example. AJ's got a bit more history to his reads, for example, and I don't think we'll get more out of TD. (Who I don't get muitiple player's reads on, but OK.) I'm not really contemplating either hydra for scum, not a lot has stuck out about either one of them that's makes me go 'wow, that's incredibly scummy.' He may not have been worse than Sven under pressure, but Sven was the type of bad (note I didn't say scummy) that only town can be that orgasmically, horribly bad.
Question 3: Are you in for a fucking treat. I'm going to let you in my head. There are two things warring here. Town reads and scum reads.
The town reads are that Vashoon seems to be an attention whore, being in the middle of everything. He's hard to ignore (even though Orc faked shooting him) and generally if you're annoying and kind of attention whorish, you tend to be town.
The second read is his love of reaction tests. I don't like reaction tests. Generally, they crap up the thread and you lynch someone who's innocent. I can give you at least one good example of reaction test gone horribly wrong. Generally, however, the people who execute them are Town, however I'm sure scum love their fallout because there's nothing better to scum than a lynch on a player that might not fucking suck.

Yeah, the badness of this post and the hypocrisy here make me want to vomit. TD ain't town, and Sonic's not town for many of the same reasons. His TD push seems fake (beyond the minute time stamp, but that was a good catch) and his scum/town list is vapid.
Also, asking to be cleared by Nacho, who has been so obvTown most of this game is bad. I could get into why it's bad, but I'm so covered in bullshit from this post I've got to take a shower."You live for the fight when it's all that you've got."--Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer-

Something was bothering me about this post, and I thought it was an painfully obvious scum slip, but it's not (is should be if).In post 1450, Aj The Epic wrote:Nacho was saying it was a scum slip because Rev claimed Miller, not miller tracker. Sven only claimed tracker later in the thread, so it would be hard to see on first look,especially is scum doesn't have day-talk.
It's that you start with one premise that's inherently Town, and then you slide into the premise that Rev's scum. (Or rather, one premise that's inherently neutral, at worst.) I can easily buy for a nice amount of US dollars that Rev hasn't reached or hasn't seen the Tracker addition to Sven's claim yet; but then you put 'especially if scum don't have day-talk.'
What does the green part have to do with the red part? If it was easy to miss, a town player could do it, why would it involve scum having Day talk or not? (Or, more simply: why did you rear end a possibly town premise with some sort of scum justification?)
I don't buy Nacho's assertion that it's a scum slip. What I think happened is he got to Page 1, decided to confirm the Miller part of the role before going forward and finding the Tracker part."You live for the fight when it's all that you've got."--Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer-

Bluntly, if I'm going in to reading something for Town, I don't go, 'hrr, let's see which of my Ghost approved town reads this pings' (and since a lot of my reads are behavioral, I need to actually read thefuckingthread. A single turn of phrase won't do it for me).
Scum can sometimes stick out in a few posts, but I personally like to read the whole thing in case the whole thing turns schizophrenic for me. And it sometimes does. (Read my response to BROsideon for an example.)
No, I don't buy that he, under a minute, gave it a nice, thoughtful read and posted something like this. It's taken me three at least just to TYPE THIS."You live for the fight when it's all that you've got."--Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer-

God damn it, I hate this reasoning, it's a sack of shit from the abyss. 95% of 'scumslips' aren't.
Unlike reaction tests, the majority of players that accuse of scum slips aren't necessarily town.
TD's horrible because he's posting in a way that doesn't involve a huge amount of scum hunting and isn't alignment indicative. (Generally, people who are Town want to be helpful in this regard.) Not because of "wow, just wow."
You're almost playing this game like scum Ghostlin would play it, create as much chaos as possible, keep people guessing if you're town or scum, and then ride the bullshit wave to a victory. Be sure not to include any actual thoughts beyond the most shallow, you can't fake reasoning well anyhow. (Yes. Self-meta's useless, but you're acting in a way I feel I would act if I got a scum role.)
The 'gambit' that I thought only Town would be dumb enough to suggest..I'm still wrapping my head around if that's still true, because you act a little insanely stupid and then you slip me a mindfuck mickey."You live for the fight when it's all that you've got."--Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer-

Scum, in order of most to least:TMT/MS, TD, Vashoon/KBW (both of the last two vacillate from null-scum to scum). Can explain my reads if you like, but a lot of them are activity/behavior based. Possible side order of AJ, but I'm not sure I dislike him as much as the five above. 1450 pinged something fierce; I explain it in 1455. We can lynch don't as well, he's not contributed when he was here.
Cannot read worth a damn, from likelihood of scum motivation to least:Rach (if she's not Town trollling, she might be scum), 2/BB (hydras are hard for me to read)
Null:People not listed above or below
Null-town, from most Town to least:Andrius (I'm not thrilled with his level of activity, but when he posts, he posts Town), Rev (I don't buy the whole argument that Sven would claim miller tracker and not be Town. Also, his VIness was a Town VIness, not scum being coy. That said, this read is mostly hinged on these two suspicions. He's not someone we can take to LYLO for example. Nacho will remember this, hopefully: remember when I lynched a Doctor Day 3 (Mute) because he protected twice in a row and I was paranoid. You were the scum IC that game. It's kinda like this with scum unlikely to perform a kill and everyone will question Rev's role for the rest of the game.) Sajin (had an early town read on him from his posts, particularly 294 when he pushed the lynch aggressively, but he's not been doing the same quality work)
Town, most to least:Nacho, who generally has been working harder than anyone to figure shit out, Orc, who has been trying to direct Town traffic all game. GiF, who's asking the right questions--although, where'd he go?"You live for the fight when it's all that you've got."--Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer-

Varshoon, I'm going to do this in four of his posts. The rest are kind of too shallow for me to do much with. Here's his initial reads post:
No vote. At this point his primary scum reads I could tell are me and 2, and he couldn't place a vote on either of us. This is a post we've literally been waiting pages for, and he's not secure enough in his reads to plop down a vote?In post 1050, TMTOLBTWNTOF wrote:

Metal Sonic: Null (no posts)
orcinus_theoriginal: Town. No scumreads, and acts and reads town.

Sajin: Null.
Svenskt Stål: Active lurking, seemingly. Active early on but quieter now.Lingering scumreadsfrom the claim and such.
Nachomamma8: Null. Towny early in game, but I feel a little less so about that.
TiphaineDeath: Town, scummy early in game, but did a 180
TMTOLBTWNTOF: No comment
Varsoon: Null, I'm finding it hard to read him.
P EDIT
Gif- I did not "disappear," I was reading all 42 pages and typing this read post the whole goddamn time.
Next post:
This post is bad when you consider he's not talked about AJ for a while and his reasoning for not liking AJ is AtE in one post in his reads posts. Yes, it can be an indicator that individual is not scum hunting, and a scum player freaking out all over town. Also, I'm thrilled he considers me not scum now as of this post, but there's not much logic as to why not. I can deduce he's sheeping a lot of folks who changed from scum or vocally said I was Town about this range of posts/pages.In post 1389, TMTOLBTWNTOF wrote:

Also, Ghostlin is not scum

Summation of TMT case:His pushes have been soft when he's pushed at all and make no sense towards any meaningful scum hunting. He's suspected 2 over at least two posts but has yet to vote them (it's a hydra). He does jump off AJ with little reasoning, but his soft push towards 2 seems to be weak without any meaning. He's not really scum hunting, and his opinions about certain players seems to match the temperature of the room at the time (myself, AJ, 2). It's pretty likely he's scum, and he's giving out other tells, such as being quiet and waiting for his wagon (the second highest lynch wagon right now besides 2) to pass. While I find 2 hard to read, if TMT goes down today as scum, the likelihood of 2 scum goes up."You live for the fight when it's all that you've got."--Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer-

No. The cannot read a damn pile is for people I can't read a damn. There's an a greater likelihood you're probably Town, and I'm really, really not interested in a 2 lynch at this time, for example or a you lynch. That's why the list is from what I see as possible most scummy motivation to least scummy motivation.In post 2118, BeautyAndTheBeast wrote:WAAAAIIIT a minute. how do you have nacho and orc down as town for the reasons you gave and me as scum when they are both sheeping my reads? like how does that even work?
Rach, maybe, but I can't help her trolling the thread has some arcane purpose. Stranger things have happened.
Varsoon, for example.
Why not place the hydras as null with Rach? Because I can't even read you as that, really. A null is someone who's either given me equal reads or hasn't pinged me with their towniness/scuminess. You and 2, I'm literally stumbling around in the dark, looking for a flashlight. Then again, I'm not good at hydrae."You live for the fight when it's all that you've got."--Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer-

Here's some disjointed reading of that pile:
Rach:is nearly impossible for me to read because of the trolling. I'm almost ready to sheep everyone else, but the trolling could be more sinister, like I think Varshoon mindfucking the thread is.
2:I have an association tell that might not be accurate or reversible if TMT flips scum, which I'm expecting he will. No one's bit on this assumption. Regardless, the tell would be greater if we lynched TMT, NOT 2 today. Otherwise? It reads two people occupying a mafia slot, neither one of them scummy and I'm not going into the WIFOM that's by design.
You (Beauty and the Beast):Read like two people occupying a mafia slot, neither one of you are pinging my scumdar. I've not been ignoring what you're saying, and I know you've been sheeped by many Town members, and the results of that sheeping might help me uncover your alignment, but there's not much there, and I'm not going to unsheep an unknown in my calculations on who is scum.
Regardless, lynching 2/BB is a bad play today and no one is interested enough in Rach and I'm not in the mood in that kind of PL anyway. If we lynched Don't's slot, that'd be another thing."You live for the fight when it's all that you've got."--Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer-

If I told you literally nothing, would you lynch me for telling the truth? Because that's the truth.In post 2139, BeautyAndTheBeast wrote:ghostlin, how about you tell me what do you find scummy so that we can have some interaction that will firm up your read.
You don't seem to be engaged in obfuscatory behavior like Varshoon; you're not posting reads with no rhyme, reason or meaning like MS; you're definitely accurate and there's something to read unlike TD; you've read my TMT case by now--I forgot to mention the rest of his posts are fluff, and KBW has done all of the above, plus has utterly failed to turn around a slot I didn't like for it's lack of contribution.
But I can't read you the same way I read a single player. I've found, at least in my case, hydrae don't necessarily work that way. I want to desperately believe you guys are Town, but I can't invest the head capital in it."You live for the fight when it's all that you've got."--Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer-

Read 2144, Mac. I'm referring to the game mafia. I actually generally do NOT use the term mafia to describe scum.In post 2145, Mac wrote:Ghostlin.
how can BatB read like two people occupying a mafia slot when none of them are pinging your scumdar? I could be wrong here but what I am reading is you classing them as scummy because there are two heads rather than a single head which is rather poor. I just don't understand your logic here. BatB is in the town bloc because they are pretty much universally read as town; you should probably just sheep the remainder of the town bloc's read on them rather than class them as scum because you can't read them.
I'm not even sure that para makes sense and could absolutely crumble if I am misunderstanding you."You live for the fight when it's all that you've got."--Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer-

Generally, when I read you, you have precise opinions and reads. For example, you just, under full disclosure, explained to Varshoon that the 'I don't fit in' AtE will not work with you and that you and three other people who read you as Town are working together in a mob to root out scum. It's accurate to your game state through the posts I've read, I know exactly what the fuck it is you're thinking/doing, and I don't have to dig for motivation there (and with a 85 page Day 1, I'll do it but I don't like it).In post 2147, BeautyAndTheBeast wrote:

"This guy?" Who are you referring to?In post 2148, TiphaineDeath wrote:this guy.
BNB, this is an example of an inaccurate post. I don't know TD's motivations for finding the above scum, and having to ask for 'this guy' irritates and annoys me.
I generally don't like being mindfucked and having to ask the followup question to a role that should be eager to feed me information, hence I don't find TD town.

I didn't, in any way, shape or form state they were scummy.In post 2151, Mac wrote:I see Ghost; didn't get a pedit. However the point still stands, surely you should find them null instead of scummy if there is literally nothing pinging your scumdar?
and mollie, why is Majiffy so quiet? I'd expect him to be preaching about how scummy I am by now.
I think you're getting a hang up that the 'I can't read you' list is hanging around near the scum list, which is probably bad list design, but that list shouldn't be determined in the scumpile...they're people I can't read."You live for the fight when it's all that you've got."--Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer-

About Rach 'trolling'.
Trolling isn't really the right word, it's more that she'll post stuff that I don't see the use of in this game. It's like she's catching up with friends, somewhat, not the thread. Here are some examples:
In post 478, RachMarie wrote:Cabd ehh did you pull a scum slot this time around?
I have been playing catch up here so yeah give me a bit more time before writing me off. I had a computer too when we played in that game.In post 531, RachMarie wrote:my head hurts
get that self vote off of you orc and stop that nonsense... There can one be ONE Rach and thats me and I almost never self vote so yeah
Fery why are you so sure that Sven is town?
Pedit good you unvotedIn post 634, RachMarie wrote:hey I paid attention to you I told you to post more
good news NS drug out his old computer and hooked it up it is slow as fuck but gives us sort of 2 computer access til I can buy a new oneIn post 648, RachMarie wrote:lol its notIn post 872, RachMarie wrote:oh yeah and Nacho was scum in that game he replaced Sex lol
I forget but someone asked about why I was leaning Town on Cabd and I mentioned playing with him before so this is the link to that game.In post 918, RachMarie wrote:no comment there though I will point out that Nacho did not replace Sex this time
It makes it hard to read, and I'm not sure of some of the references she's dropping DO have something to do with the game and I'm missing the in-joke.In post 1493, RachMarie wrote:now you are in the right game
I am sure Sanjay will delete that post in Popcorn"You live for the fight when it's all that you've got."--Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer-

This isn't scummy, btw, or any indication of BnB's alignment, but I hate posts like this about setup speculation--worrying how many scum there are doesn't matter whether it's 5/15, 14/3/3, 15/4/1; and it generally gives scum places to not comment or hide in the speculation.In post 2226, BeautyAndTheBeast wrote:5/15 isn't bad, but 14/3/3 is more likely IMO. Particularly with heavy PRs on all 3 sides. Expect an informative role on each scum team, plus a protective role for one, a roleblocker for another, maybe a strongman-type for each side, and a slew of PRs for town.
Multiball isn't *standard*, but it's pretty typical for larger games.
Balancing Multiball is actually a lot easier than you think. The only thing that sucks is being a mod who made a multiball game and watching town rip all the teams apart...
p-edit: if it's just one team, I would expect 5 scum, yeah.
People who post this speculation are trying to figure out the game, so that piece I'm OK with."You live for the fight when it's all that you've got."--Bon Jovi, Living on a Prayer-
