I think I'm more wary of Naerys because I'm not sure why gob would townspew her like this after he fake claimed Vig and there was a real possibility that he would be fadedIn post 1059, gob wrote:

For me, I think intuitively it feels less likely scum would consistently hold their partner in that position without there being a softening in opinion at some point. Like there's never really a moment where Gob "feels better about Naerys" like I might expect if partnered. Stuff like 666 where it seems like Gob is less trying to shade Naerys to distance and more like he's trying to make a Naerys lim happen. It feels closer to scum trying to push on town than scum trying to distance from a partner to me.
Looking at it from Naery's end, I also find myself vibing with her Gob push during day 2 as well(it feels like it came at a point where Gob was still up in the air in terms of whether they'd be limmed). I think I lean town on Naerys atm, they're not in the group of people that i'm near 100% sure on being town, but they're also not in the group of people i'd want to look at limming today either right nowFriendly Neighborhood Scummer

Looking at Hu Tao+ Gob, I think I feel marginally worse about her than I did before. Looking at it from Gob's end, the most notable interactions for me were 129 where Gob accuses Hu Tao of a slip (This feels +town for Hu Tao. I feel like scum usually don't go for that method of distancing), 499 and 500 where he proclaims T3 as town after Hu Tao said she'd rather vote there (feels like shade), 749 where he calls Hu Tao his friend (eyebrow-raising though probs incorrect to read too much into it) and 1096 which could just as feasibly be distancing given the period in which he said that.In post 1123, Black wrote: Smiley what are your thoughts on Hu Tao
Looking at it from Hu Tao's end. The early part of the day 2 interactions are tough for me to parse. Looking back, the early push on you feels kind of bad and they also initially defended Gob during the vig CC stuff. Though I think their progression in regards to this feels perfectly reasonable, transitioning to agreement that it's just Gob when she realizes that he's not dropping the CC. I also think the way they approached this situation doesn't feel like it's informed. Like I feel like if you're scum in that position when Gob makes the vig claim, it makes more sense to stray away from Gob in case they get CCed (which is what happened). Instead, Hu Tao holds onto Gob town narrative for longer then what i'd expect in the event they were his scum partner.
Would probs put them in the same tier as Naerys. They generally feel towny to me, I wouldn't rule them out completely but I don't feel like looking there today.

Quick skim looking at Shaddow and I think they feel similar to Naerys in terms if how Gob interacted with them (365, 666 being my main reasoning). Unlike Naerys they kind of only address the Gob/Snow thing late into that day phase after the writing was on the wall there (It's NAI in my opinion due to them only being here for the latter part of that due to circumstance) otherwise there's not much meat there. I think i'd actually keep them where they're at on this list. They feel similar to the tier above, but i'm starting to feel like I might have too many TRs (not sure how confident I am in an exact Nurse/NAS solve, may need to look deeper into that at some point) and I think of Hu Tao/Naerys/Shaddow I feel the least confident in Shaddow)Friendly Neighborhood Scummer

Black needs to go. Her attempt at distancing was poor and awkward. It never felt a genuine interaction between gob and Black, her response was over the top and showy. Just go and read her iso and tell me it's a genuine attempt to find a scum, she seemed to have made her mind throughout the conversation with gob. It wasn't genuine at all.

You're completely wrong. I'm clearly trying to solve the game, and I was right about gob. You say that I had my mind made up but you seem to be ignoring the context. I thought gob was scum D1, and Snow had been one of the towniest players ever to exist. Once he counterclaimed gob I just knew gob was scumIn post 1135, NotAScum wrote: Black needs to go.

Don't understand Gob's motive. At first I even did not realise he was claiming Vig's role. Probably to find out who is Vig. But why a scummy me would have made a claim to challenge Gob-Vig if no-one is really pushing me?-

I've mentioned my qualms with this earlier in my 1081, about how the conflict between the two slots was too persistent and longstanding to be scum distancing. Digging deeper there were some moments where Gob got hostile with Black that I just don't think happens if their interaction was theatre namely stuff like 858, 861, and 992 give the vibes of legit frustration with Black that I don't think happens in a world where they're both scum and Gob knows Black doesn't mean what she' saying.

For context the last game I was in, I made a very similar read that turned out to be correct, so i'd like to think that I'm alright at identifying these sort of things

Read through Black/Gob interactions again upon daystart ocurring and I think I stand by what I said earlier in that I don't think Black is a partner here. Fairly certain she's just town here.
While doing this I noticed that there were multiple instances of NotScum believing that Gob is a goon (999, 926) and i'm wondering if this could be a freudian slip (like predicting Gob is a "goon" only for him to flip as a goon looks like you knew he was going to flip as that scum role). Checking through their ISO I also don't vibe with their progression on Gob yesterday with NaS trying to defend Gob against Snow and Black at first, before voting them later after most people stated they believed Snow over Gob

Would you mind explaining the above
1. Can you go through your thought process during the Gob/Snow vig situation? You start out more so believing in Gob in your 813 and 814 then precede to pitching the idea that both of them are town and thinking Gob's vig claim wasn't serious in your 867 and 870 before you transition to calling him scum in your 926. What caused your thoughts to change at these points?
2. Was their anything in particular that made you think Gob was likely to flip Goon specifically? Or are you saying it's more of a misinterpretation?Friendly Neighborhood Scummer
