prodge cause at this point I don't really have any opinions on anything happening in this game...
UnaBombaH: I think Im happy you turned up to be the scum, and that you won, because I will use this game as a guideline for whenever I finally land my first scumrole.
Five days left. Can we start to consolidate, at least on the 'no' list?
Today I'm not voting:
Echo (claimed 1 shot BP, not voting a claimed PR D1)
Transcend (because I can't get a read there D1, and I think it's worth the risk/reward having him around until it starts to look suss)
Aristo (because I haven't seen anything at all worth voting)
The three above I won't hammer if they get put at L-1 today.
I would strongly prefer to lynch Hammy at this point.
I am up in the air about these others:
Ali (reconsidering my strong scum read, someone made a good point that they're unlikely to be the team with Hammy and I am feeling really strongly about Hammy)
Penguin (reconsidering my strong town read, his early D1 unvote doesn't make sense in context)
Karnos (mixed feelings, lean scum)
BTD (can't get a read - you confirmed your replacement in on post 209, but it took you til 482 to post again. What gives?)

You're scum for this one read.
This read is legitmately saying "I haven't found an excuse to jump on them yet."
You're not looking for scum, you're looking for people to jump on.

I thought that in that case all of his reads were actually weak rather than strong. Why am I very likely to be scum?
What is your read on literally anyone but Transcend?
This is such an activelurking scum stance to take. Read the thread, find one inconsistency, and focus solely on it. That lets you blend in with little content or associatives while still looking like you have a case and not being technically incorrect.
Transcend obviously overstated his read, as many do. It's not even close to unheard of.

Yeah, that is horrendous.
I'd vote within {BTD, Hammy, Shannon} today, if you want a list.

Take the context of my whole post. Aristo is on a list of people I am not voting today. He is on that list because I haven't seen him do anything that's worth a vote. I could have added that I town read him but I thought that was implied.
In post 215, Alisae wrote:Ari I was trying to convey that PP was bussing but when I posted it phrasing was bad.
Acceptable actually, I totally misphrase things all the time!
Alisae, I really don't think you're scum. Who do you think has the worst (by that I mean scummiest) push against you and why? I could totally see scum capitalizing on this wagon.

I think Shannon might be scum but I'm not sold that this is a scumtell. But I also think there could be a hint of "being caught for the wrong reason" in Shannon's follow-up. More damning is her lack of pressure on me, who she is voting, and lack of follow-up on 413 and 516.

I want Karnos and BTD to give reads on Shannon.
OK then, why do *you* think I'm scum? Let's get it all out of the way now so then we can move on.

Regarding the follow up: I'm still mulling over the stuff I mentioned in 413, believe me. I am watching to see how my wagon develops now as I think it's going to hold some answers.
As for 413, thank you for reminding me that Transcend hasn't replied yet. I got distracted by the impending end of day and also by this rubbish wagon that is appearing on me. Interesting that you peg me for not following up, and not Transcend for not answering the question, though.
I am not sure about transcend. He still may be scum, but I don't like BTD on the wagon and I don't see any advantage to pushing a wagon that is going nowhere, apparently nobody else even wants to consider voting him so it's not going to happen.
While I do see Alisae as weak Town, I don't see why Shannon is scum for that read. It is reasonable to say that Shannon sees nothing scummy in Aristo and hence does not vote. I don't see how "I haven't seen anything at all worth voting" means "I haven't found an excuse to jump on them yet". The former is simply stating that you have no reasons to scumread them. The latter is being opportunistic and looking for excuses to wagon.
Overall Shannon is nullTown for me.
"one of these days i'll read you correctly" - Transcend, Micro 714

I didn't say I think you are scum. I said you "might be" scum. My reasons are bolded above.
