I guess I have to be more explicit since this is a Newbie, I haven't played one of these for a long time and reading pages 1 to 5 reminded me that the playstyle here is a bit different.
towwl's first readlist in post 110 seems like town eager to solve the puzzle rather than scum trying to deceit. Seems like a natural readlist, not trying to achieve something like pocketing anyone in that readlist. I'd expect a readlist that early in the game to have at least one or two strong townreads but instead it has slight townleans and slight scumleans which makes sense with so little content so far at that point of the game.-

The funny thing about this is, I could go either way with how Delta is trying to position himself this early in the thread with this.In post 55, Deltabreedy wrote: cavalier and aggressive scumhunting that I would expect from townsfolk.
My first impression was that this was LAMIST (or "look at me, I'm so townie" if someone doesn't know the acronym): "I expect town to be aggressive" while being aggressive himself is trying to depict the idea that being aggressive = townie, so Delta must be town because he's being aggressive.
But then I saw Delta and Black's exchange about this topic in particular; Delta being aware that his aggressiveness was something he used to fool Black in another game where he was scum, and I don't think he tries to go for the exact same route and in such an explicit way. "Fool me once" and all that shit.
So yeah, the quote is not Delta trying to position himself as town because "I'm doing what town does", it's Delta saying that he expect town to play the same way he plays as town. That's not the best take in the world, but it's not bad either, and the important take here is that it comes from Delta being town.-

So the reason why I asked if Guerilla claimed VT was because this caught my attention:
If you're a VT you should actually try to get widely townread to drag the nightkill. This is softing PR in a subtle matter. Guerilla was trying to pocket Black and when Black didn't pick it up and backfired, he backed off.In post 338, GuerillaWoo wrote: I don't want a town consensus on me being town

I’ll have some time to explain more my positions if you want to, Delta, but it was 2 AM when I was catching up. Id rather lim Mafiabat than Guerilla by the way, but with less than 24 hours on the clock and with the lack of posting I experienced yesterday from the rest of the playerlist, it seems rather improbable to get enough discussion to move things there. You have to be more pragmatic at some point-

I explicitly said that I wasn’t going to quote anything else while catching up because clogging the thread with little time was not a good choice.
By the way Delta, I’m not Black; staying that Black sr the slot, then tr it and then I sr it again is not a progression.
We’ll talk when I finish the morning routine-

Delta scumslipped way back at the beginning of the game but I was being pragmatic; I won’t build a wagon on him today. Solving Guerilla today is better because with either a scumflip and some players with a pretty much lock town position, or a town flip and my read of Delta is correct-

If anyone were to quickhammer it'd basically be an admission of guilt so I'm pretty cool with putting someone at E-1. We'll see where everyone stands then.
The scumslipIn post 198, Deltabreedy wrote: Nah, we can pop a vote on then request a VC and announce that it's E-1. If anyone hammers after that then we know what to do tomorrow aye.
Also, by getting them to E-1, not only do we see their reaction in isolation, we also see everyone else's reaction to it. Are they for it, are they against it and why?
I could happily lim Bazuf today, but I want to know what others think about putting them at E-1 and declaring intent - I want to know the whys and the why nots and so I think we earn more than we could lose.-

You're right about my lim being the pragmatic one, and it should be noted that you and Jason agree on this, but Delta's never even come close to expressing this same sentiment.-

Like to be perfectly clear: my biggest scumread is Mafiabat, but the partner is between Delta/Guerilla and I don't care which one of those two is because I correctly identified the rest of town which is the very first thing that y'all should've been doing. towwl did it, mala did it, and they're town for it. Townhunting is the best and most proficient tool to win this game because you get scum cornered and they have to leave their comfort zone to break the town bloc.
When I say I'm being pragmatic is that I'm leaving my own reads behind and dealing with what I think is the best for the game state: Guerilla already claimed VT and the wagon has enough traction to get it done. But if you want me to bark and get my solve pushed then yes, I want Mafiabat limmed and I can get Delta/Guerilla tomorrow. That's the best scenario for me right now because I'm not convinced that Guerilla flips red because of the dichotomy, and I'm inclined to believe that Delta is flailing.-

And I called you part of the solve here.

I stayed up until 2 am reading the whole fucking thread. Read my post again and tell where did I even imply that you started scumreading my slot right after I put you in my PoE.

Unless of course, you fabricated it for noise which is what I think is more likely.
