I don't think dave and Gamma are s/s. I think Dave is town - looking at his ISO, Dave looks to be genuinely sorting Gamma. I'm not sure why he's rhyming along with Gamma, my guess is it's just for fun, but there's an indication that it might be some sort of bait. I think pointing out that Gamma might be avoiding being tone-read by 2 people in this game at least refers to me as one of the 2 people, maybe the other is dave himself? Regardless, I don't think Gamma is rhyming to avoid being tone-read by me at least. I can only tone-read very specific posts of hers and she can just not post them at all if she's scum, though I suspect that is hard for Gamma to do in some cases.-

Appreciated, there's a few posts of yours that I actively did not like which was seemingly trying to tear down a town-read that was placed for seemingly awkward reasonings in RVS, which happens but then you went in so awkwardly to try and deconstruct it as a main focus it seemed like which I did not like.In post 725, Thomith wrote: I pefered to sit back and watch situations unfold so I could play reactionary, rather than take active steps to take over the game.
I'd like to think my play is better now than it was 8 or 9 years ago when i was a teenager, but who knows tbh. That's probably the best answer I can give you atm.
Sure, you're allowed to make arguments such as that but given the circumstances I feel that's more likely to come from a wolf as an attempt to pull apart what somebody is saying without putting too much effort in formulating a proper argument. Foolproof? Of course not.In post 725, Thomith wrote: I dont know how else to respond to this other than say that the way Hu Tao was questioning me in the early pages of this game was almost exactly the same as they did in the Micro I was talking about, which is why I was pinged early on that Hu Tao could be a wolf.
I concede that it isn't the strongest reason, which is why I didn't push it that far, but it was so early in the game there wasnt much else to go off of.
I never put them as lock-town, of course it could be faked I just don't believe it is at all. And Hu Tao is the only person I am getting this feeling from yeah, although there's another slightly lesser that I want to sit on my hands for a little bit before saying.In post 725, Thomith wrote: Do you not think this could be faked? Is Hu Tao the only person doing this?
My read on you has nothing to do with Black, those reads are seperate. I do believe you're trying to push the Town in a particular direction using tactics that would theoretically put you less in the spotlight (which the way ur doing it never not gets in the spotlight, I am just seeing from the perspective of yourself PRIOR to saying these things). Regarding the second part you said, I don't recall you getting all that much heat from pushing what you're pushing to be completely honest with you but assuming that you did, could you not also argue that scum!you didn't wanna seem like they bounced off because of their own self-image and thus you stuck with it. I don't wanna comment too much on that until I verify whether or not you did get heat from saying the things I'm referring toIn post 725, Thomith wrote: To confirm, just so I know I'm not missing something else I can actively defend against, you think I'm a wolf because Black TRed me too easily?
I will say since it seems like you think I could be faking reads or coming up with easy reads ect.
The reads I have been pushing were getting me heat, but i continued pushing them because i genuinely believe them, and wasnt going to start lying about my reads and what I thought just because of what I was saying was getting me heat.
If I was scum, and faking reads like it seems to be suggested, why would I not try and find a way to change the reads I was pushing to rey and get heat off of me, rather than double down and try and explain my reasoning?-

I'll be completely honest with you just for sincerities sake when I kept seeing Naerys say she was willing to get faded today and she had a plan, I did assume vengeful.In post 773, ssbm_Kyouko wrote:In post 734, DragonEater70 wrote:

You are voting Katsuki, saying you are scumreading Gamma/dave, but you want Snivy limmed.
Can you walk me through this
Gamme/dave was a gut feeling i had at a certain point
i wanted Snivy limmed bcz it would give decent info
now i think its better to lim me, only claim scum will get from me is "vanilla" tho
Two things come to mind here.In post 603, Naerys wrote:
I have a plan.In post 596, DragonEater70 wrote: Naerys wtf are you doing
If you are scum you should fight
If you are town you should fight even harder
If Naerys is town vengeful hoping to bait scum, I think her reads are more likely to lose us another town. It's hard to tell given my reads aren't all that strong, but just a bad feeling here.
It's also possible she's scum with cCS and with a less valuable role.
I feel like at least one or both of you are cappin - didn't occur to me in a normal, even if it's complex, to think she's vengeful. And I think dave's post makes it clear why he did point it out - he's worried Naerys's reads are bad to the point that we'd lose 2 town if vengeful!Naerys was limmed. I think if dave is scum he doesn't have to make that post ITT - that can go to the scum PT.In post 735, Thomith wrote: Yeah it feels like the obvious answer, but idk why you'd say that out loud either.
I will say if its true, I likely get shot and we have 2 town dead at the end of Day 1.
Oh, reading closer Thomith isn't saying he'd thought the same thing, just saying it makes sense. Which is where I was at - not saying anything about it now and just sort of bookmarking dave as +town.-

Why can't I say that? Even if I think you're wolf, it isn't like that throws how I feel about you as a player out of the window, and even with that as of the mafia tournament I've been trying to play in a way that combats my tendency to tunnel/conf-bias myself so I try and address people as if theyIn post 744, Black wrote: I overlooked this last night because I was a little flattered but this doesn't sound like something a townie would say about someone they think is scumareTown even if I think they aren't, as I feel there are no downsides to doing so as if I am wrong on them, it makes it easier to get to the point where I can correct myself as typically when I tunnel I can get quite aggressive and burn possible bridges in a game which I don't ever really wanna do.

1. I'm not saying you should wallpost a case. I just think explaining why you think I'm scum might help others see what you're seeingIn post 774, Katsuki wrote:
1. I rarely case people in the wall poster sense.In post 746, Black wrote: Katsuki feels townie over the last couple of pages and her scumread on me feels more natural than Jackson's
I don't understand this though. If I've been your most solid scumread then why haven't you pushed me at all? You say you don't think you're wrong but you haven't cased me at all, you've just been voting for existing wagons insteadIn post 702, Katsuki wrote: Black's been my most solid scumread today and I would like to think I'm not wrong on that one.
I didn't like a lot of Dragon's posts that he made recently, namely #348, 372, 375 and 428
I believe this read is genuine but I've never been confident that someone is scum and just ignored them or didn't push them at all. I'd like to understand where you're coming from here
2. Too much effort to push a player that only I am scumreading D1. Much easier to flip scumbuddies first and then nom you off their flips instead.
3. I quite like you as a player, and was perfectly happy to sit back and watch you play. After all, I don't have to necessarily get you nom'ed D1, just nom'ed at some point during the game. Obviously carried the risk of me dying overnight early before being able to lay down a foundation for you being scum.
On that note will be quite sad if it turns out that I'm entirely wrong about my reads this game and you were town. I have too many townreads for that to really make sense though, and would involve me being entirely wrong about all my scum/town reads. I don't believe we have something like a kyouko+hutao centered scumteam so.
2. I just don't agree with this. If you are the most confident in scum!me then it shouldn't be a ton of effort to push me, regardless of what the other players think. You haven't even tried. You've barely elaborated on your scumread at all. That approach just doesn't make sense to me
3. Are you typically right about your D1 reads? Because I'm not and I'll be shocked if your D1 read accuracy is high-

I'm not personally holding any weight to those reads in combination, I see all three of those individually as a wolf which I explained in a later post regarding how I don't necessarily see why your actions match a Black/Dragon world, I was saying that to get to understand Katsuki more as I said in a later post as they saw a pairing there, if someone does do association reads it's not like I ignore them, I just don't care about them in the sense of using them for myself. You're not also calling out that the three people I said there were not where my vote was? It's called trying to get on the level with someone to understand their motivations.In post 745, Black wrote:In post 655, JacksonVirgo wrote:In post 652, Black wrote:

The rest I just disagreed with outside maybe that post saying the game was already out of RVS which I felt was unsubstantiated and I definitely felt the game was very much in that state.I hadn't thought too deeply about it but I can say I avoid pre-flip associative reads as much as I can. I don't know what to make of it just yet I just know that I didn't like it

I'm treating you as a player, as by treating you as a wolf first and foremost I land into a variety of issues. Even so, disregarding your alignment if you get better and more clear as time goes on, I want you to do that, I want you to pop off. If I'm wrong, show me. Why is that such a bad mentality? I feel I have skills enough to be able to read you as accurately as I can even beyond this, so it only benefits.In post 815, Black wrote:

I'm getting gut pings here that this slot is scum. I think they have been super appease-y in their interactions with me/Thom despite us being their top scumreads. I also think they've been kinda defensive too
I think they had a perspective slip regarding me and saying they think I'm a good player and they can't wait for me to pop off later, despite me being their biggest scumread. I'm not buying the excuse that they were trying to address me as town even though they don't think I am
It feels like they are ignoring half of the playerlist which gives me the feeling that they're not trying to solve at all. They just want to push their own little agenda to blend in and seem like they're doing stuff
I'm willing to move elsewhere if this doesn't get support but I think we should wagon this rn-

The thing that pinged me a bit was that they seemed to hard tunnel on Dave early in the game, and then seemed to begin attempting to switch to faster wagons when they started emerging. The jump off of dave felt a little wonky to me.In post 757, Black wrote: I guess just your Katsuki read then
Pre-emptively saying things like "I dont like day 1" to almost give an out of how hard you're going to try rubs me the wrong way too, but tbh this is probably NAI, just pinged me at the time.
After reading the ISO again, I probably could bump them up a tier.-

Regarding my theory. I thought Jackson and Thom could be scum together. I didn't like the way Jackson was attacking my townread on Thom and it felt like they knew Thom was scum and was using that to try to paint me in a bad light
I joined the wagon because I wanted to see how Jackson reacted to the wagon if it gained momentum. I figured they would abandon ship. The vote felt like distancing and I didn't think Jackson would be down to full on bus this early. The wagon didn't really gain any interest though so I wasn't able to gauge their reaction to it
I'm less convinced in this pairing after asking Thom about Jackson and seeing them interact some more, but it's still a possibility. I think Jackson is probably scum independent of Thom's alignment
