Is there anything in particular you're buying?

Also, everybody makes some general statements, including me. I've also made some not-general statements. What exactly is your point?
I also can't help but notice that you haven't really answered my question. Would you care to correct that?

I don't see a single clear read from you in thread. If there is some, could you point me out to one? All i see you say about other people is "they might be town or scum". And yes i answered your question. You asked me if i have a reason to think VE is town and i said i do. Do you have a reason to think VE is mafia? I think JAT is much more likely to be scum than town, for the reasons stated earlier - namely that he didn't seem to have any reads, even when I pushed him for it. I've seen the PMs Thrawn referenced here and I find JAT's reads there entirely unconvincing, just some lacklustre one-liners. Derrida moderately more likely to be scum than town, but that could change fast since his filter really doesn't have much to go on yet.
And yes, I have a reason to think VE is mafia. There, see? Two of us can play that game.

?? There is interesting context behind that statement. I believe it originates from a PM convo I shared with Aquanim. Aquanim Feel free to cut in first. Actually, that PM conversation was after I posted that in the thread I think. Post our PMs if you like but I hardly see the need, they're not really relevant to the issue at hand here I don't think.

You know, it's highly likely one of or yamato is going to be mayor and it would help we get information about who is mafia in your opinion, because apparently it seems like in your opinion i am on the wrong track.
I am going to go re-read JAT because from what i remember your statement does not hold water, and taking JAT's meta into account this looks like just about his townplay.
What do you think of Xatalos btw? In short, VE's being bloody cagey when I ask him questions, verging on being deliberately obtuse.

Original Message From VisceraEyes: I'll do so eventually - you didn't ask me to explain my reads, you simply asked if they existed. And they do. Show nested quote +Original Message From Aquanim: Well, you won't convince me Mocsta and Marv are scum by not showing me an argument. If you reckon they're scum, try to convince me and I'll listen. Original Message From VisceraEyes: I think that's an unfair generalization of his play. I also have not shared many scumreads with the thread, and I know that I'm town. I don't think him not sharing reads is scummy by itself. And I certainly don't think the OMGUS vote is scummy - OMGUS comes from town FAR more often than it comes from scum in my experience. I'm mostly suspicious of Mocsta and marv, but I'm having a hard time finding anyone who agrees with me. Original Message From Aquanim: The point I was trying to make is that my argument why JAT is likely scum is short. It can be expressed in a single sentence, namely: "He gave zero reads on anyone else of his own free will, and when he eventually got pushed into it by Thrawn it basically boiled down to some weak-sauce OMGUS on me." That single sentence characterises his entire filter, and I think a filter which can be characterized by that particular sentence is much more likely from scum. Again, I would like to hear who you think is scum if you aren't convinced by this argument. Original Message From VisceraEyes: Well if there's not much in the thread because there's not much to say, then why am I dodging a question when I can't find the reasoning in your filter? Original Message From Aquanim: There's not much to say. He gave zero reads on anyone else of his own free will, and when he eventually got pushed into it by Thrawn it basically boiled down to some weak-sauce OMGUS on me. If you've got anything better in terms of scumreads I'd love to hear it. Original Message From VisceraEyes: I got sidetracked man, I've got 3 tabs open looking at three things. Going over your filter, you I don't see much in the way of actual reasoning. Wanna just sum it up for me? Original Message From Aquanim: On January 12 2014 14:12 Aquanim wrote: I guess that's possible.
Do you have an opinion regarding my suspicions of justanothertownie? Did you dodge this question for any particular reason, or did you just miss it? Last time I played with VE town, he engaged with the thread a lot, wasn't afraid to answer questions and was so obvtown he was elected mayor. This game is giving me none of those feelings. Maybe he's just distracted and for whatever reason doesn't think I'm "worthy" of a straight answer, but I'm running out of plausible town explanations.
I don't know a whole lot about JAT's town meta except to know he's not Hapa or anything. I'm always willing to debate my reads, and if you make a convincing argument why I'm wrong I can accept that.
Xatalos raised some nitpicking stuff early on which I'd scumread him for in a normal game but given most of the real work here is probably happening in PMs it's plausible that what he found was all he could find in the thread to talk about. I sent him a PM a while back but I think he's asleep.

Because you don't really have a stance. You call JAT out for not posting reads. Why is JAT a scumread when about 80% of the game has not posted a single read? JAT had clearly been present for a fair bit of the game but hadn't done anything which seemed like he was even interested in looking for scum.
If PM evidence is presented which shows he was looking for scum in that way I will reconsider my read. If ya'll reckon that JAT not looking for scum is his standard town meta I will (disgustedly) move him to null.

Same as JAT really, he's posted very little useful in the thread (this is his only post with any real content at all). Especially weird since my impression of Koshi is that he typically has a lot of thread presence.

What do you make of Derrida response to my case. Specifically him trying to make it synonymous with a lurker lynch.
Do you think a townie would respond in this fashion? I've seen stranger things from newbie town, so I think it's still possible he's town.
The scummy points which stick out to me are: - Largely giving up and resigning himself to being lynched resonates with me more as a scum move, though a newbie town feeling lost in this game and not having time could conceivably do the same. Leaning scum on the balance of probabilities though. - Saying that it's a "good read" but that he "doesn't really agree with your points that makes me seem more scummy than the other inactive people" makes very little sense to me, what other points were there in your "good read"?

At worst, if he's town I have hopefully communicated to him that he should have reads and make them public to convince us all of his alignment. If he does that I am quite willing to be persuaded that I am incorrect in my present read, if that is in fact the case.
I'm rapidly finding the alternatives unpalatable so

Does that even make VE in particular scummy? Well when I PM'd him (it's pasted in the thread somewhere) VE said he was suspicious of you (Marv) and Mocsta, but he'd had difficulty convincing anyone else. When I asked him for his reasons, he stone-walled me.
Can anybody else report that VE actually mentioned these reads on Mocsta or Marv to them, and that he actually tried to convince them?
