Cheers lads.

Zeusy seems to be engaging in some very lazy bandwagoning indeed.

VOTE: Zeusy
Uhh Zeusy's vote was one of the least bandwagony of all the D2 votes. Sure Nomad voted ahead of him but it's not like Kalor was at all likely to be lynched at the time of Zeusy's vote.

My point is that he jumped on someone that someone else had just voted for, with no explanation at all. Just done the same thing today. Perhaps bandwagon was the wrong word.

How do you know he didn't explain it? You didn't even check




...yeah ok he didn't explain it, and I wish he'd explain his votes more, but yours is the laziest vote I've seen all game.

I went back to look after you replied to me.

So a vote which I've explained (even if you don't like the reasoning) is lazier that votes with no explanation at all? That's bs and you know it.

Also I notice you're ducking my response entirely
Laziest of the explained voted then? Honestly I can't judge if the unexplained votes are lazy or not because... they're unexplained.

Your vote was just "hey guys Zeusy right? Ehhhh yeah Zeusy sure." It looked like you hadn't even looked up the D2 votes that triggered your vote, what could be lazier than that?

But as Sorian pointed out, your town, so meh

I would have questioned you regardless since his vote actually had a progression to it but I think not remembering he was town might actually be the best town tell you could give.

I'll be honest, I haven't read anything yet, mostly because I've been absorbed reading haikyuu. I've been on page 2 since forever, so must of my reads are in the "Who is talking about me and how much do they love me" field.

I'll feel bad if I don't read the rest of the game and I get voted out tho, since I'll be a useless replacement... ugh, I'll read... tomorrow
This is straight bull shit Salva

First off, I wanna apologize for being so flaky in general this game. I would try to explaine, but it’s a combination of outside-of-the-game issues that have kept my mind only half on this game for a while. Because of this, I can understand those voting for me for my inconsistent play and activity during the game so far. I would ask that you to trust me, though, when I ask to give me a second chance to fully throw myself back into the game. Second, my thinking on the last days events aligns with that of Giant Panda. I feel as if Scum is looking to get either Zee or myself lynched off of the results of the end of yesterday.

While I’m going to bed right now, I will be back 6 hours before the end of the day, so I’ll be doing as best I can do when I wake up in giving both reads and opinions to try and prove my worth more than I have so far. I won’t drop the ball anymore, promise.

I've made posts like these as town with out enough time on my hand (yes despite ouros continued jests I'm busy both as town and scum) so I don't really find it odd. It can be a useful way to try and force yourself into giving this game some time as otherwise you've gone back on your word and look bad. Maybe a slight town lean on this post, but when I make them I wasn't under the sword of Damocles either, soooo idk. I won't be voting for fat over swamped today.

Fuck this as well. I swear people just get bored of discussing the sensible options and jump on a random lynch that tells us nothing. Lynch Salva today and we repeat all this shit tomorrow, no thank you.

Hell he could flip scum and it'd barely advance the game.
I actually agree with this post and sentiment, blah blah eliminating scum always advances game, but generally lynching scum provides way more data in terms of vote and discussion to provide crucial links or signs of bussing. Salva would provide none of that, I really don't think this is a crazy statement and sorians response to it kind of baffles me. I'm trying to not town read splinter solely for posting logic I agree with as I think that's a pretty easy scum line to take, but it's definitely shifting my read of him regardless.

Lynching a theoretical scum salva would, by virtue of the process of voting them out, provide votes, discussion, and signs of bussing. Just because he hasn't been a major player in past days, doesn't mean a lynch would just go through on him without any fanfaire if he were scum.

His posts this time actually have reads and analysis in them. He was busy in love boat too and his contributions day 1 were super low key and barebones. I feel like I see him going out on a limb more here.

You think scum would lift a finger to defend scum!Salva with the position LoC and him has put them in?

The only reason I'm not directly going for Swamped is that I think she's smarter than all that. She's being exceptionally brazen with her sheeping and "logic," which seems out of character.

Also I know we assumed that the vote suppression is scummy, but I want everyone to keep an open mind about it. While I do town-read Splinter at the moment, if scum is going to use it on themselves (or if it's neutral/town then being suppressed is NAI) it behooves them to do it earlier in the game than later, so don't give anyone a pass that claims to be vote suppressed.

Quoted these out of order, but idk I'm a little worried about ouro. The first post I could very easily see as weak deflection/justification for not voting a scum team mate.

The second I could see from scum!Ouro to try and foster more suspicion on those who get vote blocked.

What is everyone else's opinion on Ouro?

They would react. Who says it needs to be a defense. If they find it to be a lost cause then they would bus instead. The point is a scum lynch never happens in a vaccuum.

You mean how he made a surface level read on Darryl that took him 5min to whip up and then played secondary while I wasted the threads time playing up an argument for half the day phase?

Also, I answered that question last question for Ty on day 1. I know there's more days now and you probably want quotes from there but honestly, I don't care about trying to convince you and I'm about to drive home and get some sleep so not going to hunt quotes on mobile.

You sleep and everyone goes crazy!


Sorian, let me just ask

Do you think you would learn anything from a Fat flip? Scum or town? I feel like I would, but I'm curious what you think.

Here's the problem with the Fat logic NOW is if folks are using it to read scum/town

If he is scum, I think scum will just bandwagon onto Fat so that they can prove themselves as town because everyone is saying what they are using a Fat lynch for.

If he is town, we're in the same boat we were with Kalor.

Fuck off with this Sorian it doesn't become true just because you keep repeating it. Zee pulled plenty of shit already. He opened day two pretending I was only interested in him because his name started with a Z ffs. You haven't even given a single reason that Zee is so obviously, just claimed the case against him is weak while voting out Kalor who was barely discussed.

Fat hasn't played scummy (which makes the apology odd imo) but is more implicated by the vote movements. When did "good townie play" become exclusive to town players? That shit is easy to fake and you know it, the idea that you'd ignore all of D2 based on some early town reads is completely farcical.




I think Fat is the best vote today as he's likely scum and provides a much better picture of D2 with his flip. Zeemumu could still be town or scum and his flip tells me less. Swamped is scummiest at a gut read level. But I still want to lynch Sorian for his (scum aligned) obstructionist bullshit.

So your read list is
Fat, Zee, Sorian and Swamped? Just so I parse out this information.

Also I don't like Penguin.

Well I don't like you either, but we don't need personal attacks here!

But seriously what do you wanna know?

The first post only looks scummy if you're already convinced Swamped is scum, which I'm not

I don't see anything wrong with the second

Also a small thing I don't think I mentioned at the time, but it was kinda weird when Kawl was trying to paint Bronx as some formidable opponent just because he had that neutral win last game.

I'm kind of null on Kawl overall, he's been agreeing with me a lot which can be a good or a bad thing, I'd probably be more concerned with him if I didn't have so many other scumreads.

Yea but it would essentially just have the argument "coasting scum" or "waste of a lynch" and split the members between the two camps. Viola hidden successfully with minimal info gained.

I've been a bit of a dick to Bronx in the past with relation to his play. I'm not going to take away from the fact that he played and won as a SK which is a pretty difficult task. Y'all might feel it was overly generous but meh, I've been overly critical of him in the past so what're gonna do.
 
Just woke up and I've got a few hours before class starts, so I'll take some time to do some investigating before I place my vote. I really wish today was shorter than normal.

I'm still kinda miffed about the "relying on town to change votes in order to not get a tie with 2 minutes left", but other than that I don't have much against him. However, if Swamped came out as scum, that'd make me very suspect of Ouro because that first post seems like bad reasoning to me. They clashed at one point yesterday too:

I don't even know how to respond to this lol. I'm very amused though XD Any specific questions for me to address?

Ouro's latest posts at least seem like he's trying to scumhunt more. he is looking at Panda closer which is useful as most people seem to have written him off as town, especially with Ty's read on him. Not sure I like his reasoning for scumreading Fat though. He's posting more seriously, therefore he must be scum? Not a fan of that logic, there are many reasons Fat may be playing the way he is. Maybe he just wanted to try a new style this game.



Are there any other posts that fall into this categorization? Maybe you found a winning formula for scumhunting!



- "shock and awe" at the NK
- cautiously call out his "scum reads" Faddy and Penguin
- "absolve" another player (Zeusy), while still leaving some leeway to vote for him again should the need arise
- ambiguously check several other players

But honestly, I'm not really feeling like his attack on Zee is genuine. Zee's speculation on the number of roles didn't read scummy to me. In fact, I liked that he stuck to what he was saying, he didn't back off, even into D2 (post #677)

This, coupled with some things from D1 (lightly attacking Ty for his read on Burb) makes me wary of him.

VOTE: Ourobolus

I could also vote for acohrs. I would feel comfortable voting for Penguin too, he's here but very cautious. Also feeling wary about Kalor actually. He hasn't done much this day phase, mostly stuff that other people have already pointed out.

I do want to look at the high posters more closely, like Fat, Sorian and Bronx. Oh and Kawl too. In fact, I'd be happy to vote him today, he hasn't really done anything this day phase which is worrying. Honestly, can't wait until the game gets a bit smaller.

Perhaps scum partners trying to put some distance between each other by having a public but harmless spat?

I don't see W/W between Splinter and Sorian at all. Does anyone else feel different?

I agree, their disagreements seem to be genuine in my reading, and the fact that's been continuous all day makes me doubt that's two scum against each other.
 

Kawl_USC

What's W/W? I mostly see there posts two town members wanting to push the days lynch in different directions.
What sorian said, but mostly useful for the case where one of the two is lynched and turns up scum, I believe that the conversation on this page would clear the other as pretty solid town based on their interactions.

Ouro is similar in that he's agreed with / townread me enough to make me a little uneasy, but I don't have much reason to town/scumread him beyond that.

Zeusy is still my only townread, based entirely on gut. Oh and Dusk too, to a lesser extent.

Acohrs and Nomadic are firmly null, maybe slight town leans.

Penguin is a lean scum, a little overeager to be on everyone's good side. Too far down my scumlist to be interesting today though.

Who'd I miss? Oh Salva. His fast response to a vote was sus, I'll give Dusk that.


Boom. Reads.

What are you even doing? Couldn't you apply this trash logic to literally any scum lynch? Ring me up again when everyone in this community is the bastion of perfect play. I'll probably be long dead by that point but you can at least try.

I'm home and about to go to bed, I should be awake an hour before day end at the latest.

No because other scum Lynch's have the slot actually playing the game. Which the salva spot essentially does not. This day has also been super lackadaisical in terms of fruitful discussion and a last day swing to Salva would doubtful bring up lots of discussion to catch people up regardless.

VOTE: Zeusy

Going to follow into this

Vote: zeusy

I'm giving fat the big town read now. Perhaps I am being naive but if I take that to its logical conclusion then scum were going to be going hard for him today since he sort of just faded away on day 2. Of the people who voted for fat so far I find zeusy the most suspicious, town confirm CCS is already on him. Time to get this wagon started.

It honestly baffles me that you are really trying to argue that a Salva lynch gives us a good amount of actionable info convincingly improve towns win chance beyond just a lone scum removed.

Yes if the scum team completely falls apart and shows their hand in the full on bussing or saving of Salva sure that would give us something, but despite your continued derision towards my posts and others, we can at least assume decent play from scum (or at the very least shouldn't make decisions based on assuming the worst reactions from them about something) which would almost certainly not give us anything if the train turned towards scum!salva

My comment on a possible Salva lynch was just based on past experiences. I've seen scum lynches that turned the game around and I've seen scum lynches that lead to relatively little. Salva's position had all the hallmarks of the latter, especially with a late Kalor-esque swing, but of course things can turn out differently.

Hell, just the fact that I cut it off could make that lynch more interesting from someone else's pov.


Also just realised I missed Dr Worm in my reads list. The only thing I remember is how much he wants Fats dead. The intensity of his tunnel has not matched the strength of arguments he's put forward. Not sure what to make of that but it does make me wary of lynching fats.
