Future notes to myself (and anyone else who wants to read):
I'm going to have a problem attempting to read into Vayne's meta.
His play is way too erratic and as he has said (I can't remember if it was here or in the postgame from I Swear) he has only had one good game here on TL and it was Les Mafia where we were both scum. He played better than I did in that game and we both played well. His bluesniping was top-notch though if he's scum that skill has effectively been neutered in this game due to setup; could explain a slightly worse scumgame from him?
As town his nonchalance fits basically every game he's played. His activity is sporadic. He makes a point of noting that he often catches scum based on 'gutreads' in the early game. He offers very little to no analysis throughout much of any game yet makes a point sometimes of talking about how his reads later in the game are better since he 'hates' D1.
These are all basic notes of what I know about Vayne, scum or town, before actually diving in and reading this game and the rest of his meta looking for patterns. I will not be using this post a means to call him town or scum; rather they are simply starting points.

Oh dear, not being noted by vayne. How will I ever live with myself?!
You're wanting to lynch vivax. That's one. Then you're saying that both me and jay are setting you up for a "mislynch". That's three. Either you don't actually believe vivax is scum, or you don't believe that "setting you up for a mislynch" is actually scummy. You can't have both.

You had no reason to give a town read on rayn as town (as shown by the fact that you didn't actually have a reason for your town read). As scum, however, the reason is obvious.

How was he trying to change his lynch exactly by 'buddying' you? I remember you bringing that up earlier and thought to myself that it was strange that you'd think of ti that way. You, my friend, have warranted a re-read. In fact I think I want to start actually putting some effort in now since my lategame play is notoriously bad. Kita, thoughts on the mislynch please? At this point I doubt this town will ever win, much too fickle. At least I have a clear cut plan on how to approach this game instead of just randomly killing off town. You don't think its weird that scum that is set to be lynched would randomly say I am town when there is absolutely nothing I can do to stop him from being lynched?
I think scum do what they wanna do when they're on the chopping block.
You should know this.

I'm trying to figure out if scum would plant the idea or simply follow up on it. I think you know where I'm going with this. Your newfound aggressive/arrogant attitude is intriguing as the game clamps down on the few left and you struggle to fight for your life. Is your towncred from the rayn lynch perhaps wearing off and you feel the clenching noose coming down on you?
only time will tell.

But we did not know he was scum at the time...you keep asking/answering these questions with the assumption rayn was scum. At the time we did not know. I thought only a town rayn would attempt to get help from a newer player for no reason but apparently I was wrong. If he was scum on the chopping block I would much more expect him to try to garner trust from a vet and have them get the mislynch off him.

A scum Rayn would try to garner trust from a vet, huh? I think in every game I've ever played every time I've ever made obvious attempts to 'buddy' people (as town, mind you) I get called out for it. Vivax I believe one of those times was you.
If anything I think buddying up to a vet as scum is a horrible idea because it is likely to make said vet take a long hard look at you. (PS I don't have much regard for the vet/newbie split anymore for the record, I need to stop using the terms.)

so why do I not get to keep up looking into but people get to bring up the fact that I wasn't on the rayn bandwagon? double standard much?
You guys are gonna have to do better then double standards and inconsistencies to pin anything on me.

Nothing I've said has been inconsistent.

How is what I typed a double standard? Of course you're allowed to look into whatever you want, but I just find it interesting that this is one point you have consistently brought up as a defense for yourself, one that I personally see as having very little merit. I have to look into it a little bit more.
I didn't even bring up the fact that you weren't on the Rayn bandwagon.

Vayne I apologize for saying this in advance because I don't put much faith in it as a heuristic, but you're certainly pulling one of those 'the lady doth protest too much' deals on me here. I'm pretty sure I made it clear that I don't know what I'm going to find when I dive you, and I'm not doing so just because I think you'll turn up scummy. In fact if you're ever looked into any of my filter-diving analysis, much of it pulling up points that can be thought of from either alignment and turning to the thread for assistance.
This is a stupid question, but why are you so concerned?

I haven't been mislynched yet, and I plan to keep it that way.

I'm going to have to do some rereading. Two more days till lylo. We have to get a a lynch this coming day. Or we at lylo assuming no saves. (But hell we have done a good job on that so far XD)

Yes but there's a difference in how we play when we're about to get mislynched. (Which, as you've said, does not happen in the end.)
Your play is very self-centered and you're always out for survival, even when it's not arguably necessary (see your cop claim in I Swear). When I was about to get mislynched as GravityMan I didn't spout defense after defense, because you can still win a game even after being mislynched if you provide something that helps the town kill scum after you're gone. Your primary concern should be to lynch scum, not your own survival. End of story. I am aware that is not indicative of you being scum or town because that's just the way you play, but it's part of the reason why people haven't found you particularly useful in many of the games we have played together.
Eventually I imagine if you keep up your behaviour the way it has been you'd be the type of person to get policy lynched as people will realize it's not worth keeping you alive until later on. (Although a counterpoint to this is kushmasta's baffling lategame survival rate despite his play every game.)

it was actually pretty necessary considering I had work all day that day and wouldn't be able to properly defend myself before the deadline. Would have lost a blue for no reason, but I digress this is pretty off-topic.
As I've said multiple times to anyone that takes that route when approaching me - If you don't like my play, so be it, but don't try to make it alignment indicative.

I believe I've asked you this before, Vayne in other games. What do you plan on doing to help town win this game besides defending yourself? Why should you not be considered a policy lynch in future games?

This is a stupid question, but why are you so concerned? I haven't been mislynched yet, and I plan to keep it that way. Yes but there's a difference in how we play when we're about to get mislynched. (Which, as you've said, does not happen in the end.) Your play is very self-centered and you're always out for survival, even when it's not arguably necessary (see your cop claim in I Swear). When I was about to get mislynched as GravityMan I didn't spout defense after defense, because you can still win a game even after being mislynched if you provide something that helps the town kill scum after you're gone. Your primary concern should be to lynch scum, not your own survival. End of story. I am aware that is not indicative of you being scum or town because that's just the way you play, but it's part of the reason why people haven't found you particularly useful in many of the games we have played together. Eventually I imagine if you keep up your behaviour the way it has been you'd be the type of person to get policy lynched as people will realize it's not worth keeping you alive until later on. (Although a counterpoint to this is kushmasta's baffling lategame survival rate despite his play every game.) it was actually pretty necessary considering I had work all day that day and wouldn't be able to properly defend myself before the deadline. Would have lost a blue for no reason, but I digress this is pretty off-topic. As I've said multiple times to anyone that takes that route when approaching me - If you don't like my play, so be it, but don't try to make it alignment indicative.

If people didn't think I was scummy every game I would be able to do other things besides defend myself how about that? When people get better at scumhunting maybe I will find time to write about other stuff.
This doesn't pertain to this game at all so it is pretty off topic. If people want to policy lynch me, go ahead! won't make me or you any better at this game.

Of course it pertains to this game. You blame other people for your own scumhunting shortcomings ingame; you did so in I Swear. You shouldn't be giving a shit about what other people think of you; hell you've even said you don't give a shit what other people think about you but your play always ALWAYS belies that you actually do care. If you truly didn't care you'd let people say what they want and you'd go out and prove yourself through your actions. Which you never do, hence having to resort to things like shitty cop claims.
This discussion is helping me a great deal with my meta analysis btw, so thanks.

Oh I see so we will actually have to waste a lynch on me at some point. That's unfortunate. Bad luck but it happens.
He picked me and JJD to protect him from dying, not really the best defense but w/e I guess that's just WIFOM
Can you explain this, please?
Where is JJD even mentioned in Rayn's filter?
How exactly does Rayn giving you a townread protect him from dying? I still really don't see it. Giving someone a townread is probably one of the worst ways I can think of to try and protect yourself from a mislynch. You think if Rayn gave me a townread I'd just fold and say "Oh well, Rayn thinks I'm town, and he's right, therefore he must not be scum?"
I really don't follow your thought process here at all.

Oh and if anybody else feels like contributing and/or showing up, by all means, please.

He said I was town because he was trying to buddy up people outside of the mafia to get the lynch changed, he did the same thing with JJD. This isn't that complicated. ???? Read rayne's filter and it will become apparent
Even JJD was confused. It's not apparent at all.

Im pretty much confirmed town after rayne flipped red, anyone pushing on me reminds me of goodkarma from the les mis game, except im goodkarma this game.

I truly don't understand how your mind works, Vayne.
I've been trying to read Les Mafia from the town perspective and, like I've stated before, you try harder and look townier in that game than any other game you've played in thus far.
Why on god's green earth would you think a Rayn red flip where he names you town makes you confirmed town?
Your play in general is a clear indication for you being town this game (and it certainly should have been clear in I Swear but then you do things like YOLOshoot a town Oats) but I worry because I know you've become aware of your meta on this site. It's stuff like this that is going to force you to become a policy lynch in games that people (or at least I) play with you.
Still reading.
