I like this vote.

Please explain why you think Scatterplot is town. I saw that shitty townread on PC and became instantly suspicious of them, their defensive backtracking on their stance only convinced me further. Throwing townreads at someone playing non-seriously is so easy for scum to do.

This is mostly WIFOM, the meta aspect of it is largely unverifiable. In fact I have a specific and recent counterexample:
In post 401, PhantomCobalt wrote:In post 400, TheCow wrote:PC, are you sure you're not a werewolf? Can you double check your role card real quick?
Oh noes, I've been exposed.
This is PhantomCobalt after being specifically called out as his real scum role along with his partner.
Basically all that I noticed about talah was the serious conversation starting thing trying to move out of RVS and I don't find it scummy or see why that wagon is moving so fast.

Actually yeah now that I've said this, the unvote in 17 is weird. I still want to hear more from them since I can hardly know from 3 posts.

No, Antihero, I am not implying some nebulous scum influence on talah's wagon. Nor am I implying that he is likely to be town due to this. I am simply stating that I don't support the wagon much and disagree with those who do.

for what reasons? you seem to be disagreeing just because and that makes me very suspicious of you?
weird untouchable reads are weird
Because he has made three vaguely scummy posts and now has several votes on him and people wanting him dead.

Sure it is, but why is it impossible that a townie gut-townread a player for playing non-seriously?
Because I consider that unlikely, and the way they responded to and defended the read while downgrading it to a read of lesser significance. Also how their actual explanation for the read seems to be more based on tone than gut.
Why is it impossible that a townie was drunk and accidentally "scumslipped" in the thread?

Because talah understood I was voting Sakura to poke her for reactions yet not only felt the need to mention it, he asked me why I was voting her on top of that.
I see that and when I first read it I thought he was just trying to move out of RVS. However, 17 makes me think he genuinely wanted to know (or wanted to look like he wanted to know) why you voted Sakura.
My suspicion is that he is the one playing us all for reactions. Again, I want to hear more from him.

It's not unlikely at all. I've townread people based on tone lots of times.
Good for you then. Scatterplot was professing to know that PC had a jokey tone as town but I have specific evidence to disprove this. Therefore I think the townread is more likely to be fabricated.
I think your "read defense" issues are just you not being familiar with Plotinus.
So you're saying that Plotinus usually is overdefensive and backtracks as town and that this is a null tell for them? I don't like meta and am dubious of your claim.
Maybe I would like to hear from Ether then.

Also seconding this so fucking much. I got confused and thought it was just one person talking until I reread through their ISO.
In post 381, Expedience wrote:In post 202, Wisdom wrote:Why do scum lie about meta reads, Expedience? It's something that can be cross-checked. If Ether indicated that she has had experience with scum-Cobalt, and he was more serious, then that's true, regardless of Ether's alignment.
I think that Scatterplot carelessly threw out a townread at PhantomCobalt and then used meta to justify it afterwards. If they came out originally saying that they thought PhantomCobalt was town from meta then I think they would put more thought into their stance beforehand and it wouldn't be so full of holes, but they had to be pushed to provide reasoning.

Sakura and I have extensive experience with each other. Just going by statistics, the odds of me being right over you are pretty high.
Ok, I understand.
Damn. Scatterplot / PC are both scum, aren't they. This is almost too fucking easy.
In post 396, Expedience wrote:Third scum is probably Trebuchet or Sakura imo. I haven't decided which of those arguments is TvT yet.
The way Trebuchet backed down from Anti in 376 looks bad, as does the constant shit-flinging between Wisdom and Sakura (out of which Wisdom emerges the more reasonable-looking).

Indeed I do.
Talah is flailing under pressure. All of his reads are OMGUS trash and most of his defense has consisted of firing back questions and casting doubt at his accusers. On the other hand, the replacing out makes me think most of the frustration was probably genuine. I don't have problems with 15.
Ktthecreeper's posts on page 22 and 23 looked super fake, like he was trying to appear town but had no idea what he was doing (e.g. 546). I don't think he replaced out strategically. 560 and 569 are scummy.
He could be just a VI though so let's hear from Firebringer. Appeal to emotion for me.
VOTE: Firebringer
That's L-1.
