Why do you say you took nadroj's words seriously here? You said you voted LQ for defensiveness and over-explaining rather than his logic, but as far as I can tell nadroj's "shade throwing" was only based on LQ's logic.In post 273, karnos wrote:
It's worse. He is throwing shade on LQ, and then when someone (me) took his words seriously he turned around and accused me of being scum jumping on an opportunistic wagon (of course, it was a wagon of 0 at the time I voted).In post 263, TheRealGin-N-Tonic wrote:So Shannon, you're saying that, from your point of view, Jordan's play was like throwing a punch at LQ but holding back so he doesn't get the blame for it?

Why do you think I'm more likely to not have any scumreads as scum than town?In post 289, Alisae wrote:Ok

My scumhunting tactics are really more reactive than proactive, to be honest.In post 337, Lexa wrote:
The condition for my posting reasoning for my vote on All Alone has now been fulfilled. That condition was All Alone posting so as to see possible reaction / lack thereof in response to my vote.In post 135, Alisae wrote:Fine. I'll be patient and wait look a good child.
Prior to my joining this site and signing up for this game I spent some time reading through a couple of the longer games on this site to get a feel for how the game was approached here (sidenote: super helpful, scumhunting tactics I picked up made me so much better in the game I'm currently in on my main site). One of the games in particular featured both All Alone and Alisae, providing a reference point for meta reads. At the time of my vote, Alisae had several votes on him as a result of his posting style and I decided that adding additional pressure to him was less beneficial than putting pressure on All Alone in an attempt to create reactions to base reads on him from.
Based on that previous game that I had read (which I believe is still ongoing last time I looked ~a week ago), I am reasonably confident that Alisae is town. His actions this game are entirely consistent with his behaviour in the previous game and his scumhunting, while arguable how effectual it is, follow similar patterns. That being said, I'm not willing to consider them a lock town at this point in time as their posting style inherently creates a looooot of noise that can hide more legitimate tells on them.
All Alone having posted is now grounds for me to place a FoS on them. Their previous meta as I interpreted it had them being, while not necessarily a lot more active, considerably more proactive in their scumhunting tactics. Their post 285 shows them unvoting as their only post of content since RVS based on "not wanting their vote anywhere" right now. While I'm willing to give this a pass for players who are more actively using their vote and have shown some kind of previous commitment to reads, his lack of activity on that front means that his unvote here looks considerably more like a scum who doesn't want their vote to be tied to someone they can be held accountable to for their opinions should they unvote and wagon in the future.
And also, Idoexpect to be held accountable for my opinions, even when my opinion is that I have no scumreads. That's why I came in here and admitted as much.dear princess celestia, sometimes it can be hard for a shy pony like me to stand up for myself, and when i first tried it, i didn't like the pony i became. but i've learned that standing up for yourself isn't the same as changing who you are. now i know how to put my hoof down without being unpleasant or mean-

LOL fake scumreads are much,In post 414, Alisae wrote:They're harder to fake, no?
Either way, the fact you didn't want to pressure anyone is a red flag to me.mucheasier for me. When I'm scum I figure out fake scumread reasons on as many slots as possible just so I know what to say in advance if I want to change positions, and I usually don't even have to think about it. It's way harder to come up with scumreads when I actually need them to be accurate.
And also I did want to pressure someone. But I had zero conviction to put behind any pressure I could have placed, and pressure without conviction is no pressure at all, to be honest.dear princess celestia, sometimes it can be hard for a shy pony like me to stand up for myself, and when i first tried it, i didn't like the pony i became. but i've learned that standing up for yourself isn't the same as changing who you are. now i know how to put my hoof down without being unpleasant or mean-

In post 410, PranaDevil wrote:So... AA and BBT do nothing of anything for ages, and charge right in and vote the person who called them out for doing feck all, sure, sounds legit.
If either of you have any sort of case though please share it with the class. Can hardly respond to votes when there's no content there. At the same time, reads on everyone else rather than tunnelling would also be beneficial to town. (If you're town it helps us hunt, if you're scum, well... it'll help the rest of us hunt)
These posts have convinced me that PranaDevil's push on me is a legitimate attempt to work out my alignment after all. I will therefore move on to OMGUSing the current worst push on me:In post 426, PranaDevil wrote: Just not a fan of doing nothing, then acting like someone's scummy and voting for them while providing no information.
However BBTs recent posting is fine, in understanding his reasoning I mean, as unlike me he was updating as he went, thus saw my few posts prior to that which very much could look like scum keeping their head down up to said wall. Perfectly fine reasoning. I'm going to say AA clearly doesn't have that reasoning as they quoted from said wall. Thus outside of OMGUS voting, I expect an actual case on me sooner than later from them.
Not going to say AA is scum for it, they may well have good reasons. It would be a bold scum move to charge in and go all guns a-blazing on someone with no votes, though I never completely rule things out.

so nothing alignment indicative then?In post 519, LicketyQuickety wrote:My problems with AA:
Infrequent posts
Not much info in posts
Not saying anything new in posts
2 OMGUSes.
I don't think you're trying to get a read on me though. All you did when you voted me was call my vote on PranaDevil OMGUS. My vote on PranaDevil was, objectively speaking, OMGUS. What am I gonna do, disagree with an objective fact? How does it help you sort me when regardless of alignment, my only possible response is to say, "yup, I can confirm that this vote was indeed OMGUS"?In post 527, LicketyQuickety wrote:Also, AA's analysis of my pressure on them is totally off. It should be clear to people by now I have put the most pressure on people I am trying to get a read on, which has come up twice now.
All I see you pushing on me is things that are objectively true but not actually alignment indicative, and I think you know they aren't. Convince me I'm wrong here.dear princess celestia, sometimes it can be hard for a shy pony like me to stand up for myself, and when i first tried it, i didn't like the pony i became. but i've learned that standing up for yourself isn't the same as changing who you are. now i know how to put my hoof down without being unpleasant or mean-

How exactly would we leash karnos? Like if we lynch him and he shoots out of the pool, we lynch him again?In post 713, Alisae wrote:Actually.
What we can do is we could leash who Karnos kills.
Suggest like 3 names for him to kill.
And then he kills whoever out of that pool.
Good idea anyone if the claim is real?dear princess celestia, sometimes it can be hard for a shy pony like me to stand up for myself, and when i first tried it, i didn't like the pony i became. but i've learned that standing up for yourself isn't the same as changing who you are. now i know how to put my hoof down without being unpleasant or mean-
