What makes a good town player?

[insomnia]

Really just looking for your thoughts on how effective town players are...well...effective. Maybe even point out what has consistently worked for you throughout your played games, more interested in what hasn't worked. What should a town player hunt for, etc.

Good scum players can chime in and perhaps give thoughts on what they see as a threat and what traits their n1 kills usually possess that makes them such a threatening target that impedes their path to fulfilling scum's wincon. Who are you generally afraid of, and why? (you can give examples of players in your past games if you wish)

Greatest town players are those with the spiciest gifs

[insomnia]

good towns have strong gifs and egos

also, they call other players idiots if they don't follow their reads

i think that's it in a nutshell

[insomnia]

I always thought a player that has high accuracy on their reads is always gonna get cap'd.

[insomnia]

so i've been working on the wrong thing all this time

rip

[insomnia]

so how do i get n1'd as town

[insomnia]

yeah i definitely can't convince town about my reads, that's a really great skill to have, i just don't know how to really develop it.

a lot of my reads might look like they came out my ass but each of my reads have some form of reasoning for their place and confidence and most importantly, time spent on making them. It's really hard for me to communicate my reads and when I finally do, people aren't satisfied with my methods and in my mind i'm like "bro he's obvious scum wtf are you doing?" and it kind of makes me not even want to post my reasoning anymore because i know that nobody really understands me / doesn't buy my methods.

so i mostly rely on the "scream the scum read at them until it's embedded in their mind and they follow you" but that's exhausting.

townhunting > scumhunting

as a town, you know how a town would act. you don't know how scum would act.

the nature of the game is to make you jump on anything that you see as scummy. town do inherently scummy things because they are uninformed.

now, if you look for scum in a game where 75% of the playerlist is town and, most importantly, UNINFORMED - therefore, they are doing a lot more scummy shit - you are at a disadvantage.

Here's another thing that my favourite philosophers can debate

How do you distinguish between confirmation bias and actually being right when other people heavily disagree with you?

[insomnia]

Also, a lot of team play talk here, but if I just

know

I'm right, how am I supposed to act in this situation if other people don't listen to my read?

Do I fall back on that read and pursue the common interest among towns?

This is more towards NSG, but what have you found to be a consistent way of catching scum based of off? I'm talking about...Some perspective slip / logical inconsistency / straight up lying / progressions not making sense. I guess the question is what are you looking for in posts when you want to town read someone and what are you looking for when you feel like you have a scum read on someone and want to see if your suspicion is right.

Sorry if the question's shit but I'm bad with expressing my thoughts anyway.
