Lol that's what I was going to do, hence making his filter priority.

Time and again, I sign up for a newbie and we lynch inactives, newbies and inactive newbies. Can anyone tell me the results of that the last 2 Student games?

Town loss, no scum lynched. I'm looking for the active scum first this time.

Would love to see you come back when not on mobile and actually explain this. Because I'm in your filter right now and this isn't what I'm seeing.

Do tell.

-c-, i don't understand your hts read. why aren't you leaning town on her? she basically has the exact same reads as you.


I already mentioned why in my post above. Simply put: I know from personal experience she can make a good job of hiding as scum. A few pages ago Superbia asked for my thoughts on HtS and my conclusion was the following:

Okay, overall...fairly townie BUT seems to be taking quite an easy route of it. She's doing some of her own work rather than just sheeping but most of it is largely uncontroversial. Its typically just a continuation of what other people have said rather than anything hugely bold; although she does bring up a few fresh new points. I'm not really convinced of scum but given how smart I know HtS can be as scum from the last game its always a possibility. The whole thing of not particularly rustling anybody's feathers bothers me just a little. Though that could be simply because she came into the thread late.


Obviously there's been more since then. I WANT to townread her but honestly this game I'm not sure she's ever going to get better than a null from my own inherently suspicious bias. Sure, some of our reads are similar but I don't actually consider that to be outright alignment indicative in and of itself. I'm not perfect (as the egg on my face from pushing the scott lynch so hard can attest to) which means its entirely possible she's simply picked up on reads I've gotten wrong and is going along with it to fit in. Or she might genuinely believe it. Or she might think that I might think that and....

I'm drifting into WIFOM territory here. >_>


okay. so you're pretty much confirmed town.

so there's me, -c-, and probably y0su as conf town. although y0su is afk a ton so gotta be wary of me just giving him a pass on 1 thing.

dunno, i am real conflicted on hts. she says townie things but i dislike her tone, she notices things i notice but reacts the wrong way. i guess the heart of it stems from people having town reads on her at this point and i can't comprehend why. at best she is a complex null. i think that from a straight objective standpoint.


Bolded.

Picks his pocketbuddy for a yosu read. Then? Nothing else. No progression. One of yosu and Shining are scum.

Where did your confirmed town read go? And why are you confirming ppl pre flip?

Like Cel wasn't this aggressive as scum when we first played but it was his first game. And the list posts and WoTs were Cel's style, and it could be argued that Cel led us right into the Scott ML.

I'm not scumming Cel here but the spear head now on Prpl(wouldn't a newbie town be a little hesitant to push so Damn hard after that Scott ml?) Is enough to make me not strong town read him anymore. Definitely not enough to call someone confirmed town.

Also note that ritoky appeared with a mobile phone excuse but had time to give weird reads. Unexplained reads that seem to be based on association. Yosu and I were interacting so 1 of us is scum?

Meh, ritoky ignored or didn't see the question HtS put up, either. I'm taking my town read back.

Disregard my last post. I thought you posted and left. Lets talk, if you still have time.

I agree with the off wagon mafia point. Thing is, and I hate to use this, but I've seen ppl defend TTs vote, as well as TT defending it, too. Newbie, pressured, etc.

Prp doesn't have that excuse.

Mmmm welp yosus my next filter. I didn't like what Super pointed out about him seeming to make excuses for me. It's a stretch but scum yosu would know my alignment and would be weary of being blamed for pushing my ml the hardest without interacting with me or finding solid to scum me on. He doesn't have that on me so he makes an excuse.

@hts: don't understand the relevancy of your question. there's a lot of game, if your primary reason is tone at this point, read is pretty meh.

The way I read it, you're scumming her for her tone shift(tone reasoning), then criticizing the Superbia because of tone.

So when is it acceptable and when isn't it? You got at me for inconsistencies in my reads(towning A for doing xyz but not B, who also did xyz). What I see here is you scumming for xyz, then criticizing the Superbia train for xyz.

i guess to try and summarize in a small amount of text why shining could be mafia instead of y0su. it has to do with always being behind in the thread, summary information, only really doing shit when pinged out, and the like.


This was always going to happen, since D1 fell on my weekend. But this is misinformation now.

I'm here. I'm not behind in the thread. I've referenced recent interactions. I'm interacting. I'm not just summarizing, I've pulled examples from your filter. And yes, I was pinged out by everyone. Last night, yesterday afternoon, etc. So anything I do after that is doing it after being pinged out, regardless of whether I was going to or not. How is that alignment indicative?

Alternatively if I was showing I was scared and unwilling to push people then people would think that I'd drove the mislynch train and then gone quiet, hoping not to be noticed in the fallout.

Both are potentially very good reasons to scum me in fairness.


Yeah. My point is, it happened and it's enough for me to scum you or at least not town you. And no one has questioned it. You've even got a conf town read for it. I just want to know why.

i had a small scum read on her for it that i was intentionally blowing out of proportion to try and get a 2nd wagon for vote info. it mildly worked. in reality it was a small scum read. and yes i think by day 2 if you start your superbia is mafia reads with "he sounds off" and people really key in on that. it is a meh read that is probably bad.


So it's acceptable when you do it to make a read more serious than it is for info purposes but it's not acceptable when someone is using it, amongst other things, to make a case?

It's a lot of excuses. Very scummy. His only "read" is a weak town on HtS in which he goes wifom to justify it being weak.
That said, RL comes up so I'm not going to jump on him cause he's not the only one afk (or lurking).


Y0su, it's still making excuses for me. The fact that you saw me make the mobile excuse myself and are using that for why you can call my read weak(really soft push, take a stance) but accept my RL excuse is bad.

If you think I'm having trouble keeping up or because of real life, wouldn't that explain my "weak" read? You also haven't commented on the fact that you've been lying/misrepresenting me.

I lold at your response to Super asking you what you think of my reads. "Trick question?" So you've alluded, more than once, that I have no reads this game. I pointed out my D1 reads. Why was there no reaction or conclusion after that?

More or less. About to eat at work, then deal with evening rush so I'll be slowed down until 9 or 10 pm EST.

HtS is a bad vote in my opinion because she can be caught as scum. The scum HtS I played with did end up almost universally towned but she didn't maintain her level of play throughout the game. You could say that game started strong and slightly ebbed for her but she got lost in everything else, and allowed it to happen.

Town HtS is the opposite. Starts off okay, or in this case weak, then progressively gets better, while actively trying to solve the game. Until she gets NKd.

Until I see a dropoff in analysis, questioning, and active interactions, she is a bad vote. A dropoff will be a clear scumtell. So will maintaining this level of play without being NKd.

And now I say goodbye to my shyt tier HtS metaread XD

THAT EBWOP 8 MINUTES LATER. AGGHHHHHHHHHHHH.

You purposely let me see that, start my post on HtS, wait a few minutes THEN say you mean Dis. Yeah I'm not happy lol

Well I stand by my last post, though it has no relevance now lol.

As for Dis being wrong to vote, I never said that? Where are you getting this from? Afaik my last post regarding Dis had him in a list saying 2 of 4 on said list were scum. And me forgetting him until the last spot on list meant he was my prime suspect, inferring I'm suspicious because he's forgettable.

SN: good luck with everything, ritoky

Can you start making some reaction or conclusion or read posts? All these one liner questions seeming to lead nowhere are a red flag.

Interesting that you'd ask me about that post, when it wasn't who you even wanted to ask about, either.

When I said weak, I was referring to the inactivity first half of d1. My progression on her has been pretty clear. Don't lynch for pregame excuse-> still inactive, could plynch-> she's playing like town but past games keep me from strong town read. Now here I am.

the late change was not intentional

Still curious what you find weak about HtS's play?

to clarify the other question: dis is voting for you. What do you think of his reasoning?


Figured it wasn't. Answered your question. Off to dinner.

Man, I really dont know on Dis. His filter is in the very near future. Afaik, he's pressure voting me, but the progression so far I find strange. Like he made a post quoting me in which he clearly liked me for town. Then, instead of defending his read, he let it go and sheeped thread sentiment of "could be lurker, deliver on your d2 promises, etc." Making the early vote on me could be pressure, or could be getting on my ML wagon early.

Can't really say for certain until I revisit his filter. Also, for all of you saying "shining needs to do more", it's about time to start interacting with me and making conclusions. I'm not letting that wishy washy lynchbait soft push shyt fly anymore.

No, I wasn't interested in hts - and i'm not. I'm interested in why you make the read because I don't have a lot from you to go by. + Show Spoiler +
It also helps my understanding of the game


Would I be correct then in assuming that as a "pressure vote" on you, you approve of the move?



Not at all but it's a two way street. You're getting a lot out of this from me, from reads to thought processes, while I'm getting questions and no idea what your thoughts or conclusions are to the answers. You can see the scum motivation there.

Ok. Fair point. Lets move on from that, then, unless you have anything else to ask irt HtS?

Yes. If it's just pressure. Objectively, I'd probably vote the hell out of myself this game, too. I can't fault for him for it. But I won't town or scum him for it. My read would come from the filter dive, not his pressure on me. His follow up, or lack of one, is what I'm really looking for.

Ebwop: to clarify, pressure voting is NAI to me. It's how it was done and how it is followed up once that pressure has been addressed that is indicative.

And I approve of pressure votes on a case by case basis. I approve of his, it's pressure to get me to make good on my promises. But where does he take it from here?

See, a pressure vote for my obvious inactivity I can accept.

Being scummed for an entrance post, a slip I never made, and my defensiveness over being scummed over a slip I never made like D1 pisses me off.

I'm here. Just got home.

So you've been in the thread an hour but no thoughts, reactions, conclusions on my reappearance into the thread?

I find my name in your filter a few times. You had trouble reading me your first few posts on me. Has that changed? You had me as black, not green or red in your list post, with a little caveat that you're scum leaning me but would like to see more of me. You clearly say I haven't given you much to work with and ask for D2 reads. They're here now. Thoughts? Questions? Concerns?

Note: an hourish between your re-entrance into the thread and your most recent posts. In all that time, you didn't read or make any conclusions regarding my interaction with y0su? You also basically sheep my sentiment in in attacking Ritoky for using the word "confirmed" and spend what looks like a decent amount of effort analyzing SL's % thing and setting up to push him.

That scumread at least is consistent with your list post but there are 3 scum out there. What is your conclusion on Ritoky? You agree with his logic, but not the conclusion. You are tired of him claiming conf town. But that post literally tells me nothing about how you're reading Ritoky.
