Moc, I'm quite concerned that you have already used up >25% of your "self-allotted posts". If you're going to start spamming, it's going to be a problem.
Now to my goals/early game statements:
1. I'm not gonna make any meta crap posts. TBH I don't remember anyone's meta and it's ridiculously stupid logic. I'm not going to stand for it and I don't think you guys should either.
2. I'm voting for the scummiest person. My last game was Titanic and it came down to 3-4 days of "X is scum, Y/Z/Q is scum as well". That led the town way off of the path and allowed my scum team the easiest scum win in a very long
time. I don't care if they're not on the two lynch trains that are going to form. It's not instant majority so as long as I feel like I'm voting for the scummiest person in my opinion, I'm going to be happy with my vote.
3. I'm going to do my best to not be just an onlooker. I'm gonna try and facilitate discussion and ask a lot of questions instead of just answering questions and throw my ideas out there and just create more chaos.
On that note, sciberia needs to stop analyzing the first page so hard and just discuss. We're not going to find scum on the first page. You guys just need to talk instead of being at each other's throats 30 minutes into the game.
corazon is a player that likes to be overly pro-town (like me); so I get why a town Corazon would post the above 3 points. Even though the energy inserted is "selfish" I like the last note. It means hes not posting generic
pro-town spiel for the sake of a contribution. Hes also talking to Sciberbia quite calm (and with hindsight, we know what he builds up to). I do think this is a town indicator - for Corazon.

@thrawn
You are masons?
Thx for piggybacking on my post. I really appreciate it.
I'm confused here. Most times I see players scream for credit on non-confirmed information its scum trying to get town cred for when the flip happens. Its why i didn't
like this post now; nor when i first read it. However, when I think about this: the content of the piggyback is not goign to lead to any town cred. Its such a stupid & meaningless conversation.
It really reads as an emotional outburst of a post.
I haven't read Titatnic to confirm if Corazon is capable of this outburst as scum; but in my mind even if he wasn, as scum you often think before pressing post. I think a scum corazon logically would know this is a waste of a post -
regardles of his emotions - and not bother to post it. Its additional heat for no reward.
I am giving this a town lean.

The way I see it, sciberbia analysing the first page at least gives us something to talk about. Why don't you think what he's doing is productive?
I think it is sciberia either not understanding that the first page of a game is usually just joking around or he is trying to rock the boat ridiculously early in the game.
Seeing as sciberia is not new to this game, I think it's the latter.
Pages of the thread have gone out to this quote.
1. Previously he asked Scibs to stop looking into him.
2. Aqua suggests that there could be content in the first page.
3. Corazon reinforces his comment by stating Scibs is <scummily> "rocking the board".
Now when I think about this: I am not sure why Corazon now upgrades (*publicly) his read to scum on Scibs. If I have a guess, Corazon originally treated it was a weak scum lean so called it out mildly. When queried by Aquanim he uses
stronger language to reinforce his point. I don't think this series of events is out of line for town or scum to make. What I do think is relatively townie is that first part. "Sciberia could be town not understanding people joke".
This actually demonstrates he has an open mindset and is considering both sides of the fence.
Pretty weak, as good scum play also do this -- but I don't know if Corazon fits into this category. I will give a minor lean towards town.

and what's wrong with rocking the boat ridiculously early in the game?
did you notice that mocsta also did the same thing? according to him, from the 1st page, aqua, sciberia, and I are scum.
do you only take issue with sciberia's page 1 analysis only because it's about you?
He didn't do it with just me. He told Moc and I that it was scummy that we made troll posts. At least Mocsta was direct in saying who he thought was scummy instead of sciberia who is only doing a "window looking" version of scum
hunting.
Another confusing post due to the injection of "Moc & I"
1. Does he have a town lean on me, hence thinks, Scibs calling out of trolling to Corazon then applies to me? (i.e. typecase town) - Unlikely
2. Does he know I am town, hence, trying to lump himself with me (i.e. scum knowledge) - Again, I would have to assume Corazon is good at scum and non-emotional to assume he could be capable of this. Unlikely
3. Misread the argument - Unlikely: He came back from a shower and made that post to Scibs very calmly. It is clear he was in control of what he was writing.
4. Mentioned my name because Bereft brought up my name: Very likely.
Working off point 4 it shows Corazon is at least trying to have a baseline to compare things. Hes putting himself out there whether right or wrong. This is early Day1 and hes already gone out guns blazing and then backing up his views.
Gotta be town.
Think about this <unfortunately its a tell that only works for me>
I know Mocsta is town.
Corazon has a track record with me that isn't too flash.
He *should* be scared of me if he is scum; he *should* be reluctant to post when I am here if he is scum.
Instead, hes putting himself out there, in particular calmly as well. Hes trying to play this game well - just like me. Pretty damn townie.

This joke post is quite telling as well. This is the first vote on Corazon and he makes a joke about it. We obviously know how he now responds to critiques against him, however, the response early game when hes
trying hard to be a better player I think is COMPLETELY indicative of being town.
If scum and trying to play better; I think Coerazon would instantly question/fling shit at Thrawn - or even just ignore it. Instead he just brushes it off and continues on.

I'd like you to elaborate more on why you think sciberbia is scum. I don't entirely understand your argument at present.
He's trying to get us to tunnel each other early so he can just sit around and piggyback on town lynches and point the finger at others.
This is demonstrated when he essentially copies my post asking thrawn if he was a mason (deliberately, his post was at least 2-3 minutes after mine) and then decides that he can take my words and twist them when I pressure him about
it.
This is what troubles me about sciberia right now.
Corazon is consistent in his message. At the time he was very confusing to understand, but in hindsight reading this I know that this all aligns with his posts later on. Good
scum play can be consistent like this too though. I do like that he is willing to keep explaining his message though; it does seem he is phrasing thigns in a way to be clear *and* convincing. Its hard to argue he does not have
emotional conviction either. I disagree scum would be this emotinally involved early game - regardless of being voted/pressured.

Would you vote someone on being the "least townie"? Talking about town reads is only good to high-five and pat each other on the back and compliment each other's town play. It doesn't get scum lynched.
As I stated before. I
think this is town indicative. He was in the midst of a convo with Aqua/Thrawn; and decides to interject here to talk about pro-town stuff (i.e. giving out town reads). Hes not actually calling out Rean as scummy here which to me
indicates he is stating this opinion because he believes in it. Look, scum love to butt in with stuff like this. Its easy - especially if you do believe it. For me the telling point is that he interjected whilst being pressured.
It probably should be a null tell; but I do like it as town. Especially because he explains his ratoinale in his next post:

Sure, a good scum read is far more useful. But it might still say something useful. Put it like this, a town read and a scum read is better than just a scum read.
In my opinion, a better thing to ask would be a scum read and someone you would like to know more about. That would facilitate a lot more discussion than only a town/scum read due to the fact that having a town read on someone doesn't do anything for discussion.
what I like here is that he tries to improve the line of reasoning. Yes its still generic spiel, but the moment he chose to pick doesn't scream scum timing to me.

Both are ways to get discussion going, which one is the better just depends on the situation/person I guess. Sometimes people don't have strong scumreads but get a strong townvibe from someone, it's always good for discussion.
Think it just comes down to preference.
Fair enough. I would like to hear Aqua's reads if he's done dodging Rean (although to be fair to him as well he did mention Thrawn's vote as a town indicator for him).
I don't like this post due to the condescension placed. I'm guilty of this all the time though. Its not scummy per se; just makes the person become more unlikeable.

First of all, you skipped 11.
Second of all, are you trying to say that sciberia and I would be shit-flinging at each other in order to...bus each other? Gain town cred for after the lynch? I don't understand why you are trying to ship sciberia and I together.
If you didn't take a look at pregame, I made a bunch of comments about how towns self-destruct. As scum, I would let you guys shit-fight amongst each other and pick and choose my votes.
@sciberia
Put your vote where your mouth is.
Importantly, Corazon has a story that Scibs is scum. As town he truly believes it, as scum he pretends it.
I like "why are you trying to ship scib and I together".
He has consistency in his story; and in this scenario, cares MORE that I think scibs is scum, than that Corazon is scum. This is really telling as town. I don't see how this can be argued. Especially, when he asks Scibs to vote now.
(He was called out for this by me later on, and he suggested voting early is useless) but it is clear he did this ebcause he became emotionally excited.
Yes I sound tunneled on cora as town, but its not making sense to me a scum could play like this so far.

Alright I'm going to respond to the general criticism on me, the brunt of it being in Mocsta's case and then everyone else just rewording it.
First of all, most of Mocsta's filter analysis on me said that I had problems reading and that I was scummy. It's really shit casework from Mocsta because he's played multiple times with me and should know that I had a reading problem in general, whether I'm town or scum.
The rest of his case is his confirmation bias and calling sciberia my scummate. Lol.
I'm really surprised and disappointed that I got all the flak for the conversation between sciberia and I. In my opinion his actions were way more scummy and non-conclusive then mine and I believe that it is really hypocritical of everyone to attack me and simply ignore him.
On Aqua: I really agree with a lot of the points raised up against him. What troubles me the most is that he basically attacked Ream for sticking up for me and starting attacking Ream when it looked like my lynch wasn't going to go down. It felt like he was trying too hard to keep the lynch on me and that is what troubles me.
On others: I'm going to reread the thread but I already do not like the fact that sciberia and LoneMeow insist on keeping the conversation on me when the talk is about Aquanim. It's just making the town less focused and less able to discuss a good lynch candidate if they continue to ramble on about me. In my opinion, the first 24 hours should be allowed to free-flow and not have focused discussion (on one person) and the last 24 should be focus on the 2-3 wagons that pop up.
I'm going to reread Aqua and then reread the rest of the thread (pgs 10-13).
Good scum can make posts like this - at least content wise. Its pretty hard to fake the confidence here. Its written naturally. Because its from the standard checklist of how to play scum, I will stick with null.

I reckon Thrawn's town because I liked the vote on Corazon. That is the kind of action which will get us doing truly productive things. (His unvote doesn't change that.)
As for scum, I'm not sure yet. Not enough information.
I don't much like Corazon's case on sciberbia but I can think of reasons why Corazon would make that argument as town, regardless of how good it is.
I'm still null on Corazon but I'm very interested in what he chooses to do next.I still want an answer to this from you:

Given this, which way are you leaning on Mocsta in terms of alignment?
To an all-out "he's scum!" stance without really having a transition between the two stances. It really troubles me that this was only after all of the cases on me came out. It just looks like Aqua just wants to follow thread sentiment for the big issues and branch out only for things related to his "reads". For example, his case on Rean screams to me that he wants to attack Rean for defending me. His case is weak and he blatantly lies about Rean's questioning of him and calls them not important when in fact he failed to read the reason they were asked in the first place:

It's obvious that Aquanim did not read the reason that Rean threw out this post and simply calls Rean scummy for asking this question. This was a good post because Rean wanted to continue discussion and get a read on Aqua who he had felt was not contributing enough information and enough opinions to the conversation. The fact that Aqua calls this scummy is absurd and can only be attributed to his own scumminess.
TL;DR
Changes opinion on me to follow thread sentiment
Attacks Rean (and says his question about town/scum reads accomplishes nothing when in fact it does) for defending me
This guy is scum
I'm confident enough in this case to throw a
##Vote: Aquanim out.
I disagree with the case i.e how hardline it is: but its clear with the amount of content that specifically relates to Corazon that he is getting butt-hurt. A tunneled townie could definitely make this post.
I like that he uses a case to justify his decision to not push Sciberbia anymore. It indicates transparency in play. Not a great town tell due to the ease of doing this, but still a good sign none-the-less.

None of that stuff points to Rean being hardcore scum. It just points to him needing to be more active in the thread and throw some opinions out.
Do you really think that all of that stuff makes Rean more scummier than Aqua, myself, and sciberia?
I like that Corazon includes himself in the list of scummier people. Not entirely sure why, but it takes balls to do that. Its prob a null read though.
There are then a bunch of posts between him and JJD where there is a genuine misunderstanding based on how long it dragged out and Corazon becoming progressively frustrated. Null overall.
