A lot of what I said was definitely unclear, now that I'm better rested I can hopefully explain a bit better.

To highlight the difference here, Gamma and Penguin would give a read and have it magically change a page or two later, like they forgot that they scumread someone or why as they moved on. This is simple forgetfulness and difficulty keeping track of a quickpaced game.
This is different from BV's contradiction. BV is saying that he
always townread me for the LUV flip
, but his entrance flat out says this wasn't true. This isn't a read that could have changed over time or gotten lost in the flow. He
made it in his entrance to the game
.
You forget minor things or have your thinking change with new things.
Nothing new happened in between BV replacing in to now that would change his read on me at the point he entered
. The thing he would have had to forget is not a small thing, it's a complete 180. Neither of these explanations adds up if he were town.

Go find things that Shadow did that aren't related to you and give me interpretations of those. Go find things BV did that don't involve you and find scum motivations for those actions. I'm not interested in you defending yourself; you'll do so, and do so well, regardless of your alignment. I want your analysis.
I'm already working on doing this but I want to scream, this is how I scumhunt. It's the reason I asked for people's opinions on me 500x over, and is what wound up catching LUV. It's fine to want more than that but if you're just disinterested in anything else you're turning a blind eye to my biggest strength here.
Clarifying this some more, I'm not just defending myself, I'm showing why these viewpoints are unlikely to come from town. The way I scumread people is to try and get into their mind and add up whether or not what they're saying is
really
what they'd be thinking as town, which amounts to my best guess. The thing I have the most knowledge on, by a mile, is my own play, in the sense that if someone starts bullshitting-I can immediately tell. The strength that came from me questioning reads on me all game was doublesided, 1) It served as my best vehicle for reading them and 2) It serves to cement reads on me if they turn out to have basis.
I am doing analysis on BV and more will be done, but you have to realize that the easiest way for me to show you he's scum is to show why what he's saying is bullshit. It's me playing to my strength and the way I've always played, not me dodging analyzing BV. This
is
the vehicle for the analysis.
