understood?
historically, is this actually true when you're town?

I seem to have missed it in your back-and-forths with marv or maybe I read it and forgot it, but a link or a quote or something when you make statements liket his is important if you want to actually convice people. Of course, I am pro rayn lynch since he is scum, because he got RNGed, so as your ally in this let me advise you: posts like this won't convince peopel. Please link me pls

the fact you pushed me before under similar circumstances weakens that as a heuristic though
although i doubt you'd make the same mistake twice
BTW this is the reason that GB isn't necessarily scum for tunnelling Vivax. Obviously "stuborrnness as a towntell" is an easily fatigued heuristic, but you don't want to chuck it out just for that reason.

Uh, isn't that consistent with Xat buying into RNG, townreading me, and pushing the RNG target? The actions you've described are like, the actions of someone who has joined the glory of RNG so unless you're saying "buying into RNG is scummy" I dont' think you've got a case here buddy

I like this post a lot, I get a strong town feeling from this. I don't like any of these posts much. I don't think the anger thing is a good reason to townread yamato. I made an unexplained punt vote on GB and it reads as a bit of a weird defence. I'm also not sure that Chrome should be getting strong townfeels from the post i made rather than others/the whole body of play. Also have this nagging feeling where Chrome described ritoky as picking up on "textbook mafia tells" and he's essentially doing the exact same thing with Xatalos. I don't like it. I understand picking up on Xata's read progression on rayn, I think it's possibly reasonable to be suspicious of that, but the rest of it I don't think I like much.
I definitely think Chrom isn't being well-organized on his Xat push. He's on my "people i might consider lynching who are not named raynpelikoneet today" which is fairly impressive since currently that list is very short and includes raynpelikoneet, even though it explicitly excludes him, because of the glory of rng
seriously though I can't track that thought process. Still pushing forwards, one way or another I'll have this sorted out by the time I'm caught up with thread. what an adventure!

i'm not totally confident he's town but i have enough reason to take him off the table today
your call on this since you are obvtown and the best non-me player here, but if he is scum and got rnged, think about how mad he'd be to get lynched cause of that kekeke

It got a reaction from me because a) it's completely untrue and b) it's such a nitpicky thing to bring up. You pointed out one game as town I played and used it as the basis to say that I don't make townreads as mafia, which is a clearly unsupported statement that you then used as a point against me.

I think Slam has said a lot more interesting stuff already than he ever did last game (as scum). There he just basically hanged around, trolling, but I thought he was town because he was so "natural" in the thread.
This game... Mostly I was enlightened by him liking ritoky for his "town BH makes reads based on his RNG push DING DING" post (which really makes me feel better about ritoky too, since I forgot that post and wondered a bit about his confidence in BH being town... Now I understand). Also I liked how he brought up the weird progression from rayn regarding GB... Which basically went like certain town -> die scum, based on.. What? Missing posts from GB earlier? Then why that hard defense of him in the first place, without even reading his posts? And now the confident scumread because that's where the thread was flowing?
What I'm trying to say is, reading Slam's posts made me feel better about Slam and ritoky, and worse about rayn. Not really sure how you came to your conclusions marv...?
On the other hand, GB has felt a bit better lately. The Vivax read is a bit... But like marv said, it feels like a really weird target to pick as scum. And I liked his meta thing about me. And he's unlikely scum with rayn (no reason for scum rayn to suddenly go on the offensive this late in the day otherwise after hard defending him before). So I See you going to the mat for slam here. How does Slam convince you rayn is scum? I'm glad to see someone on board with the "GB being stubborn could be a town-tell" boat, but how does this have to do with an associative tell with rayn? Rayn is totally willing to attack teammates when appropriate as scum, and in a game with no investigative roles I'd be a lot more confident about rayn lasting through lylo as scum than I would GB. Can you explain in a bit more detail why rayn as scum wouldn't change his mind on GB as scum, if GB's push starts to falter?

Chromatically raynpelikoneet
That's where I'm at... I think there's at least 1-2 scum between rayn/Chrom and then 1-2 in the null section. Why do you have marv as scum? As I noted earlier, Marv is like supremely demotivated as scum now (to the point of almost throwing games, never trying, conceding with 3 or 2 scum alive, etc). It's super obvious to me that marv is town, since he's actually trying to play the game rather than be a little whiny baby about it. Just look at his game history.
It wasn't a decisive part really, but Slam brought up the whole issue of rayn's read on GB and how it shifted based on thread sentiment rather than anything changing about GB. He was first oddly certain about GB being town, then suddenly oddly certain about him being scum (and this happened because of pressure gathering on GB, not because he said new stuff). I don't really see why rayn should have dropped the GB read as scum since GB is still a lynch candidate.
Do you townread Chromatically and why?
I didn't have marv as scum back when I made that post. Currently I'm leaning towards the possibility. Mostly because of his odd hard defense of rayn that was based on something that didn't even happen. It makes the most sense in the event of a rayn/marv team, but we'll see if that's the case.

He failed the entry test of participating on a wavelength with others (which is why he didn't make it into my initial town list)
He's good at nonstop producing reads with some arguments attached to them but doesn't really interact with the thread much until he gets scummed.
The ritoky picture argument he called a slam dunk argument (Not sure if bad or mafia for this one, but both is also possible. So it's 66 % vs 33%, science never fails).
Feels mechanical (stick up his arse).
And obviously, this is part me, part marv propaganda.

I'm okay with Slam being lynched. I think BH or Xatalos would probably be better but I'm doubting myself on Xatalos now too so I don't really know.
I'm probably overreacting to marv because no one else seems to think it's weird.

Ah, the delicious tears of rayn :D
"Post: #2216RE: WTHITAHAIH?!?!?!?!? Mafia Like Xatalos doesn't have any reason to think i am mafia other than "sheeping cory". Xatalos when did you become adumb sheeple in your opinion? You sheeped me on D1, you sheeped cory on D1. You sheeped cory on N1, now you don't have cory to sheep so you are making bad cases, you are not being consistent at all.
You call me tunneling and attacking "easy targets". You FUCKING voted for Tiger who was the "easiest target" ever on D1, you had SIU as a scumread all game long, another "easy target". Your vote ended up on rsoultin who you yourself called "an easy target". At least i had fucking balls to think scummy play is scum.
Hypocrite scum."
