Ftr I asked NSG right around here to back off thread because I needed to deal with MathdinoIn post 415, RC most awesomest wrote:okay, math, here's the story – me and rc disagreed on paradox being scum. rc saw him as scum but i didn't really see it – his play this game looked a lot closer to the marked game than to his one scumgame that i read through. to compromise, i voted him to get pressure on him. a lot of his posts where he was most obviously scum in his one scumgame came from when he was trying to defend himself from his lynch, so i figured that an even clearer comparison between this game and that game would help clear things up. that's why i never even explicitly said that i scumread him – take a look:"sheep me" – not that he's scum, just sheep me on the vote. "if even just for now" – i only want this wagon as a way to see his response to pressure, not necessarily as a lynch wagon.
these are exactly the reasons that i townread him and exactly the reasons that rc scumreads him, and they technicallyIn post 326, RC most awesomest wrote:every time i've signed it's actually been me.
i'm voting you based on tone and based on comparison to your completed scumgame.
-nsgarethe reasons that i'm voting him – because i want to get a better look at those things.
the mark of a reaction test. if me flat out ignoring your request to give a more in-depth read on him wasn't indication enough, this should be. i know i'm awkward as scum, but i would really only ignore a direct question to me if there was a good reason to – in this case, i had one.In post 327, RC most awesomest wrote:would like to hear from paradox before anyone else chimes in on this, please.

rc still thinks paradox is scum – i think scum are within elmo and dunker, with the outside chance that i'm wrong on schadd or paradox.

Hey Creats, any specifics on why you handpicked the players that you did?
Also Raybells is now threatening to policy lynch me if I ever try to talk past a hydra head to another head ever again xD
Tbh I'd like to think my play once RC/NSG got here was ultimately what I'd have done as town. I wasn't setting up Paradox for ML at all; I genuinely think I'd have townread him off meta, and thus would expect NSG to do so as well. I knew that once NSG was active in the thread I'd HAVE to townread her, but in the position I was in, I had to scumread the hydra (for basically the reasons I stated). The plan was to maneuver into a situation where I could townread the hydra as early as possible so as to not 1v1 them, get town lynched, and then either kill the hydra or claim a guilty on them.
Once Elmo became confscum in so many ways I really didn't expect the win. Thanks sheep for the sub-in.-

No this has always been my policy. The only person who I wouldn't apply this to was Elsa and Anna with FA because pocketing FA is an exercise in futility.In post 802, Mathdino wrote:Also Raybells is now threatening to policy lynch me if I ever try to talk past a hydra head to another head ever again xD2019 stats: Town WR 76.7%, overall WR 81.667%, 1 scum defeat involving a major mod error in lylo vs 8 scum wins.-

That post was all I needed out of NSG. It's obvtown and explains the Paradox situation. Enough for me to townbin you guys and focus on the people I could actually mislynch.In post 800, RadiantCowbells wrote:Ftr I asked NSG right around here to back off thread because I needed to deal with Mathdino
Getting so close to the deadline was such a help. I don't think I'd have accepted a Paradox lynch as town in that sitch. But so many people were scumreading him that it was weirdly better for my reputation to "compromise".-

Keep in mind that had NSG had control there, she wouldn't have lynched Paradox in the first place.
I wanted NSG around enough for me to townread her and "trust" you.
But I wanted you around enough to get Paradox lynched without my help-

It was also a really interesting situation how my hard-defence of Paradox actually made more people scumread him for being my partner.
They say that as scum you want town to lynch your townreads, so that was cool it actually happened the way it did. I'm not sure how I'd have recovered from a Dunker mislynch.
Enjoy the first recent real scum meta you all have on me!-

Legit just needed NSG to hurry up and obvtown herself so the game could continue. I never expected to pocket her, or that she'd be particularly pocketable by me anyway.-

At no point did I ever tell NSG what to do, I just made suggestions based on what I thought would give us the best chance of winning.
I think that at that point she should have just avoided posting and given any thoughts to me and let me front, but again it's not really my decision to make.2019 stats: Town WR 76.7%, overall WR 81.667%, 1 scum defeat involving a major mod error in lylo vs 8 scum wins.-

I just wanna point out that after you made that post, I didn't ask for NSG once nor did I direct any questions or talk at her.
I actually explicitly said once "Yo I trust town-RC's reads more than town-NSG's" which helped get to the point of believably being willing to lynch Paradox.
And at that point she pretty much did let you do shit IIRC.
Edit: this game wasn't super fun tbh
i just wanted to power the game to be over asap xD-

I picked the setup which seemed the most interesting for me.In post 802, Mathdino wrote:Hey Creats, any specifics on why you handpicked the players that you did?
I guess I wanted to pick a newer player (you) and an older player (Elmo).
I wanted to give Bins a power role, so between babysitter and jailkeeper I decided to give the least obvious one.
TheGoldenParadox was more because I thought it would be fun to make a lynchbait a somewhat good role.Sigh-

I wanted to see how you would deal with me playing hardball. I didn't get to see how you dealt with me playing hardball because she immediately sacrificed our standing to make things up to you.2019 stats: Town WR 76.7%, overall WR 81.667%, 1 scum defeat involving a major mod error in lylo vs 8 scum wins.-

Probably would've just stopped interacting with you. If someone's not giving me reasons to townread them or is actively trying to hamper attempts to townread them, I wouldn't play ball as either alignment.
I mean keep in mind that from my town-perspective, you could easily have been scum trying to hide NSG's scummy scumplay.
Edit: @Creats: I'm a newer player...?-
