I want everyone to watch the narrative as it happens:
Post 194 I vote fontisian. Buddying rolefishing, what-have-you. An early scum read and a nice place to put my vote.
Post 196 Atum agrees for reasons which come later. Good vibrations.
Post 343 comes. I read this one a few times.
"How are we feeling about fontisian now? Maybe a little more town now? About ready to find a new wagon?"
If Atum is scum and fontisian is scum, then it looks good for him to have been on fontisian's wagon but
he's probably not willing to bus Day 1
. I
looked at this both ways, Town Atum kind of getting bored of the wagon and Scum Atum trying to softly pry me off his scum buddy
. One of those just happened but I wasn't sure which.
I'm just going to dump this here for a minute for dissection and comparison:

Atum, is your unsight scum read because of them not posting alot pregame?
No. My issue with the pre-game thing is that she waited until D1 and then the reason for the reveal was unconvincing. Unless there were people besides ika the that figured out her role before the reveal. Plus, fontisian has a slight proclivity towards bussing scummates, at least on IRC and I'd like to watch those interactions develop. The same thing goes for her and Citrus. If my reads were based on activity, well there aren't enough scum in game for that.

No kidding. Half the players are never here due to V/LA or just lurkage. You can only read the same posts before you start thinking "Is that scummy? Or how about that? Maybe that's a scum tell."
Atum's whole "If you could have picked a role, what would it be?" is really scummy if you look at it in the light of "Tell me what role you're not" because then it becomes a more clever bit of rolefishing. But then I doubt myself by thinking "Is that really scummy or am I just that bored I'm seeing scum tells where there aren't any?" I don't want to tunnel on the people posting just because they're the only ones talking.
Firstly, I think you think I'm more clever than I think I am. Secondly, please for the love of god tunnel me. This is sooooo booooring.
Also, fontisian has posted some more since you voted her, thoughts?
Let's go one at a time and see if we can spot the inconsistencies.
1. I guess this is a misinterpretation. Probably deliberate. I asked you to update your read on fontisian since before it was for pre-game rolefishing/buddying. But fine I can get this I guess.
2. C'mon really, if i were scum and fontisian scum, how could you say I wasn't willing to bus D1, since I've been calling her scum since pre-game? Did you stop and think about what you were writing or get too excited about the opportunity to make a townie look scummy?
3.Way to cover your ass. I think I've made it pretty clear that I'm bored as hell.
4. Let's not forget the
HALF
of that post you neglect to mention in your analysis
POST 364 comes right after I answer Atum with a "No, I'm happy with my vote." At this point, I start getting really bad feelings.
He's not outright calling me scummy
,
he's making it as nonthreatening as possible
, but he's
giving fontisian the "Can we flip this around
?"
So that was on page 15. I'm thinking to myself, he couldn't buddy and pry me so he's gonna have to chainsaw me. Atum is gonna start poking at me and, whatever I say, he's going to wagon me. In my own
Post 468 I note that Atum hasn't done it yet. It's trending in this direction, but it's not there yet.
You can't possibly be this obtuse as town. It literally boggles the mind.
1. I'm not calling you scummy? No, that's because I called you scum all the way back in
239
2. I'm not even talking to you in 364.
This is the most legitimate thing you've mentioned thus far. The best way to find a group of scums I've seen is to force them to interact and respond for ISO. Thank you for doing so. However, at no time in 364 did I suggest that fontisian was not scum in an attempt to save her from the steadily growing wagon on her, nor did I, before that post, fail to communicate my intent to vote you.
Post 489 is the chainsaw. Prying failed, fontisian's wagon is gaining steam, and he's got to save his scum partner somehow.
What I'm getting here is that you can't actually answer to my accusations so you've committed the all too common error of attacking the person rather than the argument. This makes a great deal of sense considering the limited information the town has and the untenability of your current position. Unfortunately you are perhaps the least subtle person I've ever played with. That includes ika who while often brash can set up some interesting gambits. Go away, and if I can't get a wagon on you toDay I can at least leave my reads so the Town hangs you tomorrow.
And that's 2 out of 3. 1 left.
