Not bad (for probable scum, but I guess I'll try to chill on that)
Thanks, I take these
I've got sum scum games for u
viewtopic.php?t=90462&user_select%5B%5D=28527 - I was scum in this game and got shot in the face after the first day. It's recent, but i didnt replace.
viewtopic.php?t=83046&user_select%5B%5D=28527 - This is three years old. I dont talk like that. But I replaced into this game as scum and was pretty thorough on the catchup
viewtopic.php?t=85649&user_select%5B%5D=28527 - this game is fucking embarrassing but I was *trying* so it's probably still a good reference. I also replaced I'm pretty sure.
Hmm. Not a great selection. I was a cult leader in this very recent game, but i dont really treat 3p quite like scum and i dont think anyone really does. And i didnt get around to collecting a partner before the game got cut short

This is very pretty and definitely makes me want to vote you a lot less. That doesn't make it non-zero, but I'm impressed and I don't really think a scum slot would townread literally everyone while they're one of the biggest wagons. That'd be maybe bad I think?
You've described my M.O.
I find that I usually only scumread in larger games or games that have progressed further. I agree with NSG that the majority of content today is NAI (EXCEPT for "Genuine" posts which town always make and scum can only imitate which i get sounds like reading with more words but its different to me).
For example, if I were scum on the first day, my primary goal is just to blend in. I can bend and shift however I need to in order to avoid suspicion. I dont have to make any reads which might cause someone to OMGUS me or otherwise cause attention, and so on... all I have to do is focus 100% of my brainpower into making something that seems "real".
But like, come third day, the game is much more complicated. Scum has FORCED choices that they have to make if they want to win the game (if they're losing). Or, if scum is winning, you can TRY to figure out *how* they're winning. They're obviously going to be playing different from the losing town. So many things

Yeah but that just seems like a weird mindset to have. You apparently scumread MT just as much as previously, but then you unvote not because you felt their post was townie, but just because it's "unpopular"?
Like you're more worried about your image pushing an "unpopular scumread" than the actual fact that you believe the slot is scum.
Norwe, have you never switched wagons because your choice was unpopular? I do that more often than I don't do that. This is a stretch. This objection feels paper thin. The way Cephrir reacted to my post (I'll get you later tweety bird) felt fairly genuine to me
I also agreed with Gimlis assessment

That leaves Brian, I suspect Brian for feeling towny in a game where most feel towny, but also I suspect this:

Ballpoint, if you're so distraught over the potential quickhammer, then why are you focusing your attention on the two players that unvoted the wagon (one of whom had nothing to do with the plan to quickhammer) instead of the players who were actually calling for your quick elimination?
I object, THat is not how that works! You almost let NM lolhammer (Granted you did the X-2 while NSG did the X-1, but a few posts passed before you unvoted)
But yes I kind of see how BPP latched on to the two unvoters rather than the people who started it which is a bit illogical considering the angle he was coming in at. Although I suspect both of you coincidentally
