To answer Mena's question about what I think about Dunn, I have no idea what to think. I played with him once, had a conflicted read on him, and he was scum. I read some of his game in team mafia, was adamant he was town, and he was scum. I don't think I know how to read him. Atp I'm hoping someone I townread can figure out a read on him so I can sheep them. The part of Andante's case on Dunn I find most interesting is the idea that maybe his lack of activity is scum-indicative. I don't know if this is true and haven't checked.

It was a case that already existed for me as I held the same opinion about enchant's meta. There was another game where STD made a similar case and was correct, so I thought it was valid. Enchant solidified that by continuing to fuck around and give up, and I thought his pushback on implosion looked fake.

It had to do with a meta pattern that's actually been called out by various people across more than one game. I opened up Enchant's ISO and thought "lol, that's their scum meta."
I suppose, in hindsight, that they didn't play to that meta in the last game I played with them either (they were scum), so maybe they're trying to mix it up.
I townread Alianna.

Really? I didn't cause us to eliminate town yesterday. Maybe we should re-examine our priorities? Implosion from what I can tell you were pushing Enchant's slot pretty hard yesterday. Any thoughts on the rest of the wagon?

So, I ran all three games that you linked as well as every game that I can remember playing with Dunn through the spread sheet. Calculated Dunn's percentage of all posts made day 1 compared to how many players were in the game, then did conditional formatting to color his higher post rate games green. (because you are positing that lurk dunn = scum dunn) to then see if there is any corrolation.

The conditional formatting guessed incorrectly 4 times, got it right 1 time, and then it did not give a result on his middle of the road game.


If anything, this is wrong more then it is right, and lurk Dunn = town Dunn.

I'm not lurking in the first 2 games, I'm town in the last game.
omg. If you were town in Forest fire, that would eliminate the singular correct guess based on posting habits, and it will have been wrong in every single listed game lmao

This is a pretty weird take. Why would we
automatically
hunt on the wagon? You have among the lowest post count yesterday (only lower is ceph who I guess I'm sort of less certain how to interact with since he seems to be viscerally distant from the game). In particular you had about 4 days where you made a single post that was about Andante bogging the game down (fair, but not content). You were the closest thing to a counterwagon at the end. Me saying I think you're deserving of pressure
is
me re-examining my priorities..

I was pushing Enchant very hard. I'm fairly responsible for the lim, and I don't think it was an especially bad one practically since it landed on a VT who was doing nothing. But I was pushing Enchant because I thought there was a very good case for the slot being scum; because I think the case was convincing (after all, I was the one making it), I don't automatically think people on the wagon are scummy for being on the wagon. Scum shot on the wagon, after all.

I can give my opinion of the people on the wagon but I really see not much special about being on that wagon. I still think sheep is pretty hard town, as I would invis if he hadn't been shot. Alianna is potentially scum. skitter, like I said, is a candidate for scum who I need to look more critically at. Ceph is as I mentioned in this post already kind of detached from the game and I'm not sure what to do with him.

But like, going back to Dunn's post here, "I didn't cause us to eliminate town yesterday" is like, such a thought-terminating cliche. Yeah, I know I led a mislim. And?

More or less a burden of I-should-think-you're-townier-by-now iirc is where the initial trepidation is coming from. I don't especially jibe with your Andante push yesterday (though of course, I still could be wrong) and (as I said above) while I don't think voting Enchant is a scummy action it certainly isn't something that gets free town points either. I'm not sure why you're leading the day the way you are either. Is your sketchiness on me coming from me saying I'm suspicious of you, or otherwise? If otherwise, where is it coming from? Why do you want to hunt on wagon specifically (which is how I'm interpreting as justification for voting Ceph)?

I think it's also worth considering Menalque to be on-wagon yesterday since Enchant self-hammered in response to Menalque threatening. That said, as I said, I don't see off/on wagon as an important distinguishing characteristic of the set of players.

I think Menalque's i-have-a-grand-vision-of-the-game spiel is the sort of thing that I personally have a tendency to erroneously townread sometimes, so I'm going to throw out why I think I do townread it to open it to criticism. I think to make that series of posts as scum, Menalque would have had to make a lot of effort to essentially role play as someone who feels like they have the game solved. Me personally, at least, that's not like the level of effort I'd put in as scum for something that isn't even really guaranteed to get a townread or an analysis like I'm giving here. It'd be almost theatrical as scum to the point where I have trouble imagining it coming from scum.
