Blah blah blah, here's some self-meta because why the fuck not.
I wouldn't say that being aggressive is a town tell for me. I am naturally an irritable person who loses my temper easily.
Also I'm not aimless as scum because when I'm scum, I have a goal. (to mislynch X townies from a list of townies) However I'm aware of my meta so take with a pinch of salt.
|
I was scum-reading Damdred before the mislynch happened, was ambivalent about you and suspected Superbia when he said "if TT flips town, lynch Calix and TW"
And those reads have little to do with the fact that you guys were on the mislynch.
So no.

Said it before, said it again. Fuck WIFOM.

Overall I think that her tone, actions, and black sheeping overshadow the scum vibes she gave me at the start.
Your 'scum tells' and 'meta reads' are going to evaporate so hard when I flip.

NU, you still around?
Since nothing else is really happening, want to discuss the TT train? Namely the sheep voters.
Off the top of my head, Shapelog's vote is among the least-worst because he voted right at the very end which I find odd for scum to do. (it associates them with a ML with little benefit outside of "muh WIFOM") I forget how he justified it N1 though.
Also I recall Skynx making a comment that revealed he was voting for a PL, not a scum-read, so I like the honesty there.

Morning.
I personally think Skynx is town even if his thought process was a little muddled at EOD. And I feel like his more questionable actions make sense from "bad town" perspective than "scum" (not saying that Skynx is a shit player, I'm saying that his actions aren't optimal for town but don't make a lot of sense for scum to do. For example, he votes for a guaranteed lynch that he admitted was shitty...something which would 100% get him suspected when TT flipped)
Shapelog made some good points on town!Skynx which I agree with, basically. It catches me funny that Shapelog spent a lot of time defending Skynx. However he did say that he preferred having a conversation to 'help catch up' or something like that so probably not AI but I'll note it for future reference.

In fact he complains about people ignoring the other lurkers and never really brings much of anything worth talking about up just says the filter he checked wasn't that bad.
Then he bites someone who he really shouldn't given his filter. So no it's scum
This isn't part of the reason I am town-reading Skynx, but I don't like Damdred's push on Skynx either.
A. His first line (where he asks why Skynx town-clearing is townie but him doing that is scummy) would be fine taken by itself because he's pointing out a possible inconsistency. However, it fits in with his overall pattern of only commenting on things that relate to him. It doesn't look like he actually cares about pushing a scum-read (Skynx) because his focus is on NU treating him differently to Skynx. It is another example of Damdred only focusing on himself.
B. His points make no sense for him to use to scum-read Skynx when he himself admits that he was doing the same thing. According to his logic, that makes him scummy. If a townie was aware that they were doing questionable things, they would have rationalisations for why said things are helpful to the town.
Therefore, that townie would be more inclined to town-read players who are acting similarly to them, because they can relate to that behaviour and have an explanation fresh in their minds for why said player is acting like that. So let's say that town!Damdred didn't push on anyone at EOD because he was busy. He sees Skynx not pushing on anyone. He would be more likely to assume that Skynx wasn't pushing anyone because of time constraints too.
(bad example but I'm not saying this is what happened. I'm just trying to explain my thought process)
So given this, why wouldn't Damdred assume that Skynx also has similar reasoning for acting like he was instead of jumping to the explanation that makes Skynx scum?
C. This is another example of Damdred focusing on the easy targets in the thread:
- His town-reads match up with popular opinion.
- Sheep-voted on the shitty TT train, complete with horrible WIFOM conspiracy theories about scum bussing which cannot be backed up by anything in the thread. (focus on abstract theories > logical arguments)
- He never discussed other lynch targets in any of his EOD posts. Why? Because the shitty TT train was already locked in at that point so why would he need to? Even Skynx, Palmar, etc were discussing other candidates. Regardless of how shitty said discussion was, it's better than just settling for a TT vote with NO comment.
- After TT flipped, he threw shade on Grack and myself because "their defense of TT was weird" (which isn't the same as scum-motivated, just black sheep) and now focuses on Skynx after NU drew attention to this potential inconsistency. I have yet to see Damdred actually push a 'scum-read' BEFORE someone else did. Classic scum tactic of evading responsibility.
- Let's not forget the "don't blame the TT voters, blame the people off the train" post.
This was said AFTER HF and Superbia had made it clear that they were going to attack people off the TT train regardless of how TT flipped. Thus, this is a safe position for Damdred to take because he knows he'll have support in the thread already.
- I am aware that he suddenly flipped and defended me against Super because he was 'playing devil's advocate'. I have no idea what the fuck he was doing there but it didn't give me good vibes. If he did that after getting pushback against a Calix train then I'm even more inclined to think he's scum because it felt like an awkward and insincere backtrack.
|
In any case, I am going to have to look at the filters of HF, Superbia, Palmar, TW before SOD because they're the ones whose reactions to myself have stood out the most to me.
Damdred too, but I've just cased him. I feel like I'm being too reactive in my reads on HF/ Superbia and I'm inclined to keep a close eye on TW/ Palmar in case the scum are trying to pocket me. This makes perfect sense because I've been under some suspicion since Vivax dissected my opening posts so the scum have probably decided on how they are going to treat me by now.
HF just reminds me of myself because I used to stupidly tunnel like he did so I can relate. (not AI, just means I can see where he's coming from as both alignments) Currently I don't think he's on a scum team with Damdred just because Damdred seems to be using HF to hide behind compared to actually collaborating with him. It's not impossible but I feel like "HF is tunnel-town who scum are using" makes more sense atm.
Also @HF, if you think TW was TMI'ing in his Calix post, you should try reading it from the perspective where you know I am town and see if that theory holds true. Novel concept, I know.
|
Also yeah, the fact that multiple people assume you are going to flip town is worrying.
|
Informative lynches are cancer - lynching scum is the only information that I want and anything else is worthless. All we really got out of that was "here are a list of people who sheeped this shitty lynch"
Secondly, I meant "read the post and give examples of where you think TW TMI'd that I was town" because it sounded like that was just your initial impression and I was trying to get you to elaborate on that.

He basically shut down my posts by saying "no that's not what he's thinking" DESPITE tt actually saying that is what he was thinking meaning tw was defending tt WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT HE SAID THIS GAME.
Tw's plan this game is defend people that don't need defending for no reason and push me.
Abd he's fucked up calling me town and he called tt town in a slip too although slips basically mean nothing but they're there.
Basically i lynch people that make cases that can't possibly be made with the information normal people have.
I used VCA, not WIFOM. My read on TT is all based on what was going on in the thread. If I had defended multiple town MLs then you'd have a point but I haven't. The concept of looking at votes in a game where there are no living TPRs should not be a novelty, lmao.
"lots of good players agree" - Invalid argument. Consensus is not always correct, otherwise you'd never ML in majority-vote games.
Also we must have different definitions of what a 'good player' is because I just see a bunch of lazy arseholes who people mindlessly defend because 'they CAN be useful'
I am always skeptical of slips because I see a lot of townies 'slip' and get CFD'd. I've only seen like, three legit scum slips in the games I've played.
I am going to look at TW now, one mo. I'm not opposed to a two-train approach here; I think that'll be a good direction to start off Day 2.
|
This doesn't have jack shit to do with your case but reading TW's posts just reminded me of his weird-ass early reads and convenient paranoia.
|
It always makes me laugh when people say "I don't care" because if you didn't, you wouldn't feel the need to tell me that you cared.
|
Yes, I saw the post.
Yes, I am still reading TW's filter and getting quotes.
Yes, I am defending myself because your point hasn't gotten any better just because you posted it for the 494707th time and shitty cases annoy me no matter what.
Yes, I can relate to insulting people.

RTFT. I am talking about the "Calix ignored the shitty WIFOM about scum!TT" case.
Stop being dumb pls. You might actually be onto something here.

You're missing the main point entirely, but since you're as dense as a block of wood and assume that everyone likes to do the equivalent of taking meth by using emergerd WIFOM with everything, whatever.
TW could be on a team with Damdred given these string of posts though.

If anyone town-reads Damdred or HF, then please speak up now.
Everyone is just doing their own fucking thing at the moment. I have a 50% townread on Damdred for vaguely looking town and 50% don't-lynch-read for being good but yeah my scum pool is outlined already and I am willing to go for any target in there although tt would hurt my ego yo calix, Damdred's meta D1 as town is to try and form a town circle (and to a lesser extent all game). he is also a valuable townie because that is a useful strategy. His scum play has become really good. I won't lynch him D1 by default but I'm certainly still open to the idea of him being mafia. If he actually lynched mafia at some point ahead that would make things easier. HF and Palmar are roughly in the same category. The idea of the town circle is only as good as the town circle itself, so don't really see any grounds for this being a reason to TR Damdred. I don't really care as much about mafia Damdred as I do about mafia Palmar or Hf. he's good, but he doesn't push mislynches and it's not a personal point of pride to lynch him, if that makes sense.
So his town-read of Damdred is because he "vaguely LOOKS town" (but what has he actually done that helps town? Nothing) and an obnoxious "he's a good player" defense which doesn't seem to be AI because people on this site actually seem to think experience is a good reason to not lynch someone, but it doesn't look promising as a 'town read'
The last post, however, is so fucking bad. It's not saying why Damdred is town. It's saying why lynching scum!Damdred doesn't do anything. WTF.
Like seriously, just look at that last line and tell me why a town would care about how good a hypothetical scum player is when the leading train was on someone he didn't scum-read.
|
Possible that he is so fixated on you being scum that he didn't want to lynch anyone else, but I don't see him pushing much for your lynch either. His longest post was countering your TT case iirc.

Fuck's sake N00b
tl;dr
- Self-centred and almost-exclusively talks about himself and responds to posts that mention him.
- Always hides behind other players' ideas. (e.g., he waited for NU to talk about Skynx before saying Skynx was scummy; waited for HF/ Superbia to say "if TT is town, lynch Calix" before agreeing)
- He takes safe/ popular positions in the thread, says nothing controversial whatsoever.
- Had no interest in doing anything useful at EOD except for responding when called out, was content with the TT train and did not even bother discussing other options.

I think the best plan right now is for you to push the TW train and NU and I can push Damdred. I see no flaws with this.

What even makes you say that TW/Damdread are a scum team? What happened to the "pre-flip associations zzz" Calix? I can agree with pushing Damdred. Right now I have a hangover, so you should push him for the time being, and I will take over when I don't feel dizzy.
Try reading when you are not hungover, ya lightweight, and get back to me on that.
