town.
fairly sure.

Why is that townish? "I made a half-assed attempt to do something and my result is a not-really-committed townread"

How is that townish?

*sigh*
why would scum do that?
scum would just finish up the half finished case to look like having scumreads and done stuff.
realizing half way through a case that you think the guy might actually be town is far more likely to come from town.
aaaand the read isnt even as shitty as you make it out to be.
"i cant see any agenda in va's filter" is a pretty strong statement.


Yeah I actually think this is a valid point. Like, here's how you should look at it.

On the really basic level, the first level, Scum aren't coming from the same mindset of hunting scum that Town come from. Which means it's hard for Scum to have good reads and feel confident pushing them. This means that Town might formulate a read and make a case, but Scum would worry about appearing scummy or something, and therefore try to leave open a line of retreat. See, if you're town, and you think someone is scum, even if it's unpopular to think that, you won't give it up. You have a belief; you have evidence; you're gonna go for it. Scum, though, they're not trying to lynch this guy they think is scum. Instead, theyr'e trying to not get lynched. so maybe theyw ant to build their cases and reads with a line of retreat so they can change their minds if it's unpopular.

So on a naive level you would expect Town to be decisive and Scum to be waffly.

But if you go down into the second level, it turns out taht sometimes as Town you're confused. And to a certain extent, town doesn't actually CARE about looking town. I mean, obvs you don't wanna get lynched but you're also highly concerned with finding scum. Whereas scum, their ONLY concern is about looking town. And if "looking town" means decisively posting aggressive cases, Scum will try to ape this as best they can. Town will only do this when it makes sense for them.

So, we might see someone posting waffle-like uncertain reads. This could mean "ah hah, this is scum planning to pull out of these reads if they aren't popular" and that's possible. But because this really stands out, and is obviously scummy, it's like... the kind of thing that scum tries (but not always succeeds) to avoid doing. And town to a certain extent doesn't actually give a shit. Town wants to lynch properly.

so "I did half-assed work and got a half-assed townread" is, you know, it's not something i'm gonna go giving people tons of townreads on that, but there's not a HUGE motivation for scum to do that because 1) a half-assed townread won't get anyone lynched and 2) it kinda stands out as "bad" in a sense. And I'm not saying "too bad to be scum" but you can see how a town has in some ways more chances of saying this than a scum, capisce

Can people at least look at what i have said about Rels and comment on it?

1) His explanation on the Eversince comment doesn't match up with the earlier explanation on the Eversince comment. In fact i don't even believe it matches the original comment.
2) His vote on annul is based on very bad reasoning and the way he went on with it on D1 in very surface level thinking which is not really typical for him.
3) All of his scumreads are based on very surface level reasoning and there is basically no thought behind them (see for example the read on me, earlier read on Chezitwo, read on Grack, read on sicklucker, N1 or so read on Skynx and the read on Ruxxar).
4) The way he has pushed his scumreads is... well he hasn't, it's non-existent.

The complete lack of ANY people to even COMMENT on the case makes me think even more i am right here.

Skynx is also super hard disagreeing with VA

so I think we got something here. I don't think both are scum together. so t/t or t/s and I'd say the scum is on Skynx' side here


yes you have a huge pile on unflipped associations...

you know just go back to ignoring me please. you're completely ignoring what I said about skynx/grack and I'm sick of you commenting with dumbfuck oneliners on things where people put actual work in

well a lot of ppl pushed/voted annul and i think ruxxar happens to look better than a lot of other ppl on that wagon.
and since we dont know what grack will flip yet, the other part is unflipped association.

Like, I can see Grack being scum. Granted. But the way Ruxxar is pushing Grack is weirding me out, this "auto on Grack guys and you all get a townread" thing is just... yeah dunno, it's weirding me out.

aight. fair enough.
question is what to do now.
i guess the best way of action for town is to lynch the guy that is most likely to flip scum.
so if you think rels or sl have a better chance, feel free to switch.
if you would like to lynch someone else, feel free to write a case.

Are you serious? You said something about it. We had a conversation about it. Why am I not allowed to reply to something right there? Why do you want me to townread Ruxxar when I don't? Would it make more sense in your eyes if I would just go ahead and say "oh Ruxxar town because disformation whom I made a huge-ass, universally ignored case about TOLD ME SO"????

Like literally Rels, you have made a case on Ruxxar that is basically "(1) he is trying to lynch his top scumread with (2) a bad case".

Now:

What is scummy in (1)?

Why is this a bad case:

2) He doesn't try to solve the game.

How many scum reads did he have the whole game? Let's see:

And I am pretty sure my play will not match mafia meta.


I don't like this statement. Comparing his own play to what an expected "mafia meta" is as a defense and validation of his own play seems like he's way too concious of how he's trying to project himself.

Add that on top of all his waffling reads between scum/town, and non-commital it makes it seem to me like he's trying to thread a golden middleground.

I actually like this explanation. Sorta wish you said this instead of just 'read Koshi's filter decided he's mafia' as now I'm suspicious you went back to read his filter after my post to find a post that is suspect.


For the second part:

People generally think this is scummy and it's not. It just generates suspicion because people don't like to see unjustified reads.

Mafia won't ever just carelessly throw out a scum read without giving any thought about how they are going to defend it unless they are under some kind of heavy pressure to produce a read.

Also I liked Ruxxar's reasoning for his Koshi vote.


who do you think is scum?

I'm kinda looking at you tbh.

Look at me as much as you like, but why?

I'm mostly just looking for someone kinda in the middle blending in.

Annul seems like an ok lynch to me. I dislike that he doesn't waver at all in his Koshi read after 10 pages of filter.

It would be worthwhile to check if he tends to be very confident in his reads as town, because his are still based on things from the early game.

I'm on my phone on a train, and the internet is not great.


"I'm ok with". "Seems like". There's 0 commitment to anything here. Just superficial non-sense without any substance.
So obviously he followed up and actually tried to push his scum reads? Nope.
Well, at least he voted for his scum reads? Nope.

It's like a total non-commitment to any of his "reads" and just screams "I'm just trying to blend in".

Explain me why this is a bad case?

It's a bad case because using sentences like "I'm ok with" and "seems like" don't make someone scum. Unless there is some meta going on.

So I went into VA's filter almost looking for reasons to scumread him and now that I made half a case about his read progression on grack and skynx...

I kinda think he's just low effort town.. The way he comes across seems so casual and while like 80% of his posts are setup talk or useless he seems to be looking at the game from a low information point of view and hasn't pushed any sort of agenda (scum or town) that I can see.

town.
fairly sure.

Why is that townish? "I made a half-assed attempt to do something and my result is a not-really-committed townread"

How is that townish?

*sigh*
why would scum do that?
scum would just finish up the half finished case to look like having scumreads and done stuff.
realizing half way through a case that you think the guy might actually be town is far more likely to come from town.
aaaand the read isnt even as shitty as you make it out to be.
"i cant see any agenda in va's filter" is a pretty strong statement.

A super strong statement contradicted by "I kinda think". And I super disagree with you regarding townreading "hey I almost did something". That's just bad.

no. you are just bad for not realizing that is a super obv town post.

piss off, 24-filters-I-have-done-nothing-disformation

i really really really dislike ppl telling me i did nothing, when i put more effort and time into the game then the rest of the whole fucking game combined.

I am not sure if there's a more self-righteous person in the game. Or have ever been.

i am not saying i am good at the game.
that is def. not true.
but telling me that i did nothing this game, when i am trying really damn hard to figure shit out on days where ppl want to auto is incredible insulting.

No. The fact is Rels was making a factually incorrect statement he should know is one, and couldn't explain that reasonably. Instead he is trying to defend the statement.


When I used this argument against him initially he said that he'd never try faking a dumbtell because he knew he'd be caught for it, so that's a dumb strategy, so he wouldn't do it

What are you talking about ?

Skynx/Grack/Disfo/Ruxxar.

Super possible. Everytime I start to talk about people, disformation comes in and onelines the thread into a shitfight with me.

I'll mute him now.

This is the post in question right?:

On my EoD stuff:

I ask for reads and SL: "vote with me if you think I'm town" Nothing else.
HF: vote for SL and loosely explains why. Nothings else.

I missed Rels big qoute post on Xata but I don't think it would have mattered.

Since I was left with "Blindly follow this because it's the one I want" I just blindly consolidated.

SL claiming I have him as a top town read at the time is funny.
And expecting me to make a vote based off reads that are almost 40 pg old, after I openly admit that my reads are outdated and I have no time to read to adjust them. Ooff to me.

HF claiming I say he's the only one to give input is misconstrued. Other than Rels post that I missed, he was the only one who said the reason for why I should vote with him. He just failed to do it for any of the other two wagons.


wow that makes Eversince town. My big quote was about annul. So to those thinking ES was faking entering the thread (and Ithought that too befor ethat post), is she faked that she wouldn't mess up the names there. That means the entering the thread was innocent at the very least.



Which he followed within the same minute:

well that probably doesn't make her town. but that makes her not faking entering the thread


Or am I just not on the same page as to what that is about? Because I was thinking this is what that is about.

Yes you are. I bolded the important parts for you.

This is what he says now when i questioned him for it:
Show nested quote +
I had a thought, then I realized it was not as strong as I thought, then I posted it.
"Not as strong as I thought" is different from "that doesn't make her town at all"

Does the second big part look like he said this?

I think he backed off from a statement he knows is factually incorrect in a manner that looks the least bad. You know like slowly fading into the background.. I hope you and other people get what i mean here. If i made that sort of a mistake as town i would just admit i did a hasty judgement call that was retarded (in the first place) and not try to defend that later (in a way that ALSO kind of contradicts your original retractment from it).

Nothing is factually incorrect. You're nitpicking something. The sentence "well that probably doesn't make her town. but that makes her not faking entering the thread" means "it's not as strong as I thought". As I explained multiple times. There is nothing else.
Now you can say that I'm just backtracking to explain a mistake or a slip or whatver you're calling it. OK. Call me scum for that if you want. The explanation is there, and you're choosing an interpretation of it that is nitpicky to attack.
