That was indeed a concern of mine which is why I didn't go after him earlier, but as a townie I have to make a case and throw down a vote sooner or later to demonstrate that I'm doing my job.

@jampidampi Please give your read on Cora.

EBWOP: You could say that by pushing him further I might be able to demonstrate my towniness without playing my hand. The problem with that is that 1) I still wouldn't be publically comitting to anything, which leaves me still with the problem of demonstrating my towniness. 2) His answers to the questions I'd asked already were so lacking that I didn't think there was much to be gained by continuing with that approach.

i don't see the distinction between mocsta's explicitly stating and sciberia's "window looking". how were they different? could you expand pls? He means that Mocsta is going around calling people scum or town straightup, unlike Sciberia who is more held back. At this point, what in Sciberias posting came to you as held back? Hi jampidampi, Help me out please. Firstly, I assume you have read the whole thread, thus consider this post to be significant enough to warrant being your introduction post? Secondly, Are you querying Rean for information about Rean or Sciberbia? I'm asking him about his thought process. I find that "held back" is a very interesting way to describe Sciberias play up to that point, imo he was one of the most direct poeple at that time. OK, thanks. Have you read the whole thread? Is it safe to assume that because you are "intrigued" by Rean, you are in any agreement with Aquanim case on Rean? Yes I have read the thread once for a sense of game flow. Rereading now with actual thought.
Aquas case has some merit to it if Reans reasons for thinking Sciberbia was "held back" are not good. If Rean had good reasons to think Scib was "held back" then it kinda falls apart.

I think Corazon's case is bad but obviously he doesn't. Corazon's vote doesn't have to be consistent with my opinion of his case, it has to be consistent with his opinion - and it's not.

So. The case was bad, in that it completely failed to persuade me that sciberbia was scum. (I'm aware corazon has said other things about sciberbia; I didn't find them persuasive either).
However, the fact that the case was bad and didn't persuade me IS NOT scum-indicative for Corazon in as of itself, for the reasons I stated earlier (namely, that Corazon could be mistaken or be deliberately pushing a bad case.)
The fact that Corazon, despite apparently believing his case, is not committing to it by voting for sciberbia?

However, when he'd concluded his argument and left without placing a vote even then? That was the point at which it became particularly scum-indicative. Which is why I'd made no mention of his failure to vote before that point, since I wanted to see if he would vote if left to himself.
Some things about Corazon's play, in as of themselves, do not point towards him being scum. Some things do. I don't see a contradiction there.
The difference between Corazon's vote and mine is that his vote is doing nothing at all, while mine is pressuring somebody who I also think is likely scum. There are other votes on Corazon pressuring him, and I consider that at this time my vote is better used to pressure Rean.

You say Cor's case being bad is not scum-indicative.. even though you already used the phrase "sketchy at best" to describe it. Anyways, according to you, at least in this post, you are not holding his case against him.
What you are holding against him is the fact that he's not voting for scib? That's the only reason? It must be, since you aren't going to hold his case against him. Why does that even make him scum in the first place? You say your vote on Rean is fine because it's a pressure vote, but then you're admitting that people don't always have to vote for their top scumreads. And this is why he's your top scumread? Because he hasn't typed in vote:xxxxx during the first few hours of the game? Bah! Bah, I say unto thee.

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.

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.

On one hand Cora could be a townie caught in a emotional tunnel. This falls in line with his tone when directly responding to Scib. On the other hand he could be scum. Reserving judgement until he returns and properly answears Sciberbias case and this post.

The only other game I've seriously read of his was Titanic, where he was smurfing, roleplaying, scum and.... well.... Titanic...
To answer your question:
Null, maybe very very very slightly leaning town. My impression is that he gets stroppy more easily as a townie than as scum, but he could easily make an adjustment to his scumplay to change that. Also, if there was a failure to communicate effectively between him and scib I can see that irritating Corazon regardless of his alignment.

Corazon's failure to vote is the most obvious expression of an overall pattern in his play - being that while he has been attacking sciberbia I don't think he's been doing it with any purpose in mind. If he was seriously trying to get sciberbia lynched (or even pretending to for the purposes of motivating the thread) he'd be voting for him. If he isn't in any sense trying to push a sciberbia lynch... then what the hell is he doing? The only explanation I can come up with is that he's scum making noise for the purposes of looking active, and maybe pushing suspicion onto a town player.
If Corazon comes back from sleepy-times and starts playing dynamically, pushing lynches and seeking information, my read on him could well change. It's not beyond belief that his play so far is that of a townie who does not in fact have a plan other than to randomly talk about a scumread. I just don't think it's likely.
And regarding this:
You say Cor's case being bad is not scum-indicative.. even though you already used the phrase "sketchy at best" to describe it. Anyways, according to you, at least in this post, you are not holding his case against him.
If Corazon's case had been good he'd likely be a townread for me, despite his failure to vote. The fact that the case is bad is therefore not irrelevant, but it's not enough for a scumread just based on that.

Couldn't agree more. Also, don't shit up the thread with useless spam like the LXIII game please. I tried keeping up but the amount of shit posts just trolling/making useless jokes/comments is unbearable and makes it impossible to tell low-laying scum from trolling townies. If anyone goes around posting stupid oneliners without saying anything meaningful they have my vote >.>
Reans first post into the thread and it just fakes activity. He doesnt say what he agrees with and there are multiple things to agree with, does he agree with all or only some he, never actually says what points he agrees with. This is a very scummy first post.
Also if mocsta didnt retract his post limit on himself I was going to call him scum, but he did and I am ok with it for now. I do want to point out he only takes it after cora points out his spam. But unlike cora I thought it was scummy, because it was a easy way to avoid conversation. The was one more post from mocsta I didnt like will find it in moment it was post 4or 5 where he gives 3 scum reads with no reason and then says half the thread hasnt posted so his reads can change.
Coras case on Sciberia is terribad and scummy.
Anyway rean is really scumm though.
Sorry Im at the mall but when I am home I will catchup on both of my games and be up late playing. Ill be checking in periodicly while Im at the mall though.
