I refuse to base my own reads based on meta of players I dont even know, and one measly meta read does not a towny player make imo. It's entirely possible for scum or town to come to the same conclusions you did. It's not a meta read at all. It's a mafia mentality read.
A player comes in with a scum read on someone. I give them more reason to be suspicious of said person, and he changes his mind. What's the mafia motivation for doing that? Hint: there isn't one. As mafia, you don't close off potential mislynches for no reason.

As an aside its important to note, I dont think full meta reads apply to this game. You and another hydra head to ground you and help influence you to decisions you would not normally make.

You are missing the point entirely.
Yes, scum can be flexible *WHEN THEY HAVE TO BE*.
To play scum well, you have to be able to read thread atmosphere, and know how to 1) manipulate it, and 2) use it to know who you can push for a successful mislynch. Everything about the thread atmosphere at the time when Promato was talking about ObsQT was pointing towards ObsQT being a very possible lynch candidate. Scum don't shut down a potential mislynch option for themselves for no reason whatsoever. If thread atmosphere is turning, they will "change their minds" etc, but that was not the case at the time.
I think its very, very, very unlikely that Promato is scum.

Anyways, I'm not particularly trying to defend yamato. I'm explaining my read because I feel it is damn good reasoning and if someone wants me to think about Promato maybe being scum, they need to have some equally good reasoning.

I think its very, very, very unlikely that Promato is scum. Well my perspective is: (1) If they are scum; they *KNOW* your alignment.. im thinking you are town, and the thread atmosphere indicates the same thought. So (2) if someone you know is town; and everyone else thinks their town; and has a reputation for solving games comes and puts soft-pressure on you: do you cock up and stick to your guns; or be soft and play the nice-guy card. Survival instincts, and typical mafia play suggest: be jelly every time. Fact is: Day1, usually there are multiple candidates to consider (as either alignment). I think as scum, its a low risk option to discard a current read, to appease someone you are threatened by. + can always play the "reads subject to change card" to shift them back into the limelight. Survival suggest playing the long game; not the short one.... I think we are just going to have to agree to disagree on this one (moc) Why are you talking about my alignment? Promato didn't change his mind about *ME*, he changed his mind about Hapa/iamp. Who were a very real possible candidate during night 1, which was when the conversation happened.
And the basic premise of your problem with my read is flawed. I wasn't putting pressure on Promato because of his read. In fact, I was ENCOURAGING, his read. That's a major, major difference.

Notice the distinct lack of any dears.

I haven't talked to marv since he hasn't been around today, but I think it would be dumb to lynch Golems first. I would rather not lynch a claimed jailkeeper over a VE that I'm pretty sure is scum.
Who knows what will happen with night actions.

Anyways, I was going to relate a story that Oats experienced if it was him.
In Chrono, on day 1, I let slip something about my role that was extra information that by all rights I shouldn't have known. Not exactly a "blue slip", but I didn't go bitching and moaning about "aw I dun goofed" in the thread or anything. I explained what I meant, and moved on. I don't think their lack of...whatever you want to call it makes them scum, because i know I reacted in a similar way as town.
I'm not saying I believe the claim (I don't, right now), but at this point it isn't completely outside the realm of possibility. A town ObliviousEyes is.

The point is, ObsQT just posted about how you played in LX, making cases on multiple Toms, Dicks, and Harrys. In this game, you haven't given a solid reason to be suspicious of ANYONE. What gives?

Mocsta was arguing with the Dr. earlier in the thread, but took the opportunity to abandon the argument. Mocsta, as mafia, LOVES these arguments. He'll literally go at it for pages and pages, but here he didn't. In addition to this, his posts feel sincere, I can follow his thought process, his suspicions, and he seems to be genuinely trying to figure things out.

You guys as a town are just completely tunneling us without ever considering absolutely anything else, and so you guys are going to fuck the whole town over as a result. You've completely lost sight of the rest of the game because you think you have it solved but YOU'RE WRONG. Your confirmation bias is blinding you to any other possibilities. Nothing we will ever give you is going to be good enough as Soniv seems to have displayed thus far, and we're in danger of losing sight of the one seemingly sure scumread we as a town have despite the fact HE HASN'T EVEN BEEN AROUND ALL FUCKING DAY.
At this point I think Soniv has the right idea; I would love to entertain you guys further if anything I said or did got you onto the right track, but it WON'T. Therefore, keeping silent makes more sense because maybe you guys will be forced to turn attention elsewhere and save a mislynch. We are completely on board for lynching OE today. If we survive the night (which will only happen if you guys are fucking stupid and let mafia think you're killing us tomorrow) then maybe we can somehow continue the discourse.
What the hells is this?
First off, there are plenty of ways you guys survive the night.
1) You're scum. Obviously you survive the night. 2) Scum have a roleblocker. Then they can kill someone else and just roleblock you and it doesn't matter. 3) Scum don't have a roleblocker, but still think you will be lynched tomorrow and they take a risk that you really are jailkeeper and don't block their shot in one way or the other.
But, for the most important part: Shouldn't you, as a jailkeeper, *WANT* to survive until tomorrow? So then, why would it be "fucking stupid" of us as a town to be suspicious of you enough that you survive until tomorrow? It would be in your best interest as a town JK to survive as long as possible.

Newbie your scumhunting is relentless, to the point of absolute obstinacy towards us, yet you flip off of Promato directly after calling him scum once Yamato brings up his only solid case all game is worrisome. You appear to be so good at digging through old games, filters and posts to find exactly what you need, and much of is legitimately good, but simply the fact that you appear to be so bullishly opposed to the idea that we are town since basically THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME when you first got annoyed with our style just doesn't allow me to view you as town yet. You are null to me, leaning town because there are a lot of things in your filter that honestly seem like too much effort to go through if you were scum. You're constantly pressuring in places that require pressure at many right points in time, yet you also devote much of your time to discussing lurkers like us, WittyHydraName and Dirk, all of which are town. There is too much dichotomy to give me a clear town read.
Now, is it POSSIBLE to entertain the discussion elsewhere so that I may feel like I can contribute positively rather than continue to defend myself to no end? Fuck, lynch us after OE if you must but at least try to consider other points of you so that you might fucking LEARN something when we die. So why do you have a town read on me if I've done everything you just said keeps you from giving a town read to ObsQT? What is different about us?

Assuming that VE does flip scum, there is basically no way I would vote for Promato tomorrow barring some insane new evidence. I would reconsider them in LYLO, but before then I just am not interested in lynching them at all.

hi guys! I've literally not read this game at all today, but I'm vaguely aware that Keirathi has been playing in my stead and the lynch was going as it should.
I'm thinking we should do some sort of full roleclaim tomorrow. i'll explain more later closer to the deadline
