I just get the impression that, since you've declared suspicion of me, you've been trying to pick apart my posts/behaviour more than is really reasonable (e.g. my response to CES, my stance towards Feysal). But that's just my feeling about it.

In post 1023, Herodotus wrote:Where did I call you guaranteed scum on the basis of how little you've posted? You're putting words into my posts. I did comment on your lack of expressed reads, but that was after I voted you or used the phrase "guaranteed scum", and that's different from a lurking accusation.

That's not what I meant. I meant that just considering how little I've posted I find it hard to believe that you can think I'm guaranteed scum.

Sometimes I develop inaccurate reads, but I'm open to changing them if there is a reason.

I'm not trying to undermine you. I just want an example of where you were wrong about such an apparently strong read from the get-go, so I can evaluate your attack in a larger context. This is purely to help me establish a read on you. If you're worried about looking like a bad scumhunter, you can give me a bunch of examples where you were right to offset it.

Yeah two flash wagons at the end of the day. Hence why I think Furc is scum. (Not only that but she is in a pretty bad place on the wagon.)

Re-read done.

For those of you who haven't played with me, I primarily scumhunt by associations - who attacks whom at what point of time, who do you suspect and who you actually vote at any given point. On a secondary level, I also look at tone+intensity+duration+when you switch of an attack to spot if it might be scum bussing each other.
Expect my post to be small and reason-light; I'll elaborate only if I feel the need to; If there is nothing there, then it is due to associations with other reads.


Town

8. Dekes
10. mockingjaye
13. Wraith - Love the kanye hate plus that colored wagon list was good
22. Herodotus (replacing LordChronos) - VitR, kanye, MoI suspicion mirrors my reads
3. Sun and Moon (CSL + Amrun hydra)
12. Gut (Cogito Ergo Sum + chamber hydra)
21. Will-o-wisp (Oversoul + Mist Beauty hydra)

11. Furcolow - Initially thought he was scum due to the massive kanye defense. (ISO #69, 88, 89). But D2 play has no attributable scum motivation - Town. (And what I mean by "Town" for self-aligned players is "Not Mafia")

15. Katsuki - Feysal - Resident SK. Read him as town during D1 with the rage quit and the lynch run up. Not going to argue theory here - not supporting this lynch. I'll reevaluate once we have a couple of dead Mafia-ites.

5. gandalf5166 - I would have said town but he hasn't even got his role yet. Not Mafia who is lying about not getting his role though.


Above list follows no particular ordering. This list starts from Null and works it's way down to scum
Scum\Null

14. SpyreX - Initially had him as town but all his votes have been on town reads (Gandalf, Pere, Dekes). Plus the kanye defense. The not lynching Feysal note was good though.
6. Ellibereth - Nothing to base a read on.

7. Mastermind of Sin
17. Espeonage

1. Andrius - I'd say Andrius was telling the truth about not receiving his role. However, I think he was recruited to the scum team at around page 28 or so (towards the end of D1). This is dependent on kanye flipping scum though. I would have also expected gandalf to change to town at the same time but maybe I'm wrong or Plum choose not to design the two roles that way.

16. kanyeknowsbest
19. VitaminR
20. MagnaofIllusion
18. Empking

(contd.)

After some low level wagon analysis and assuming 4 scum (+ 1 possible recruit), I'm making a scum call out of {kanye,VitR, (MoI\Empking), Espe} for now.

Not lynching kanye today is a big mistake. I am very sure he will flip scum.
Unvote. Vote: Kanye

Can sort out scumbuddies after that.

Right. In which case, he is town for voting kanye on D2 after he got the role. However, the timing of recieving the role during the night doesn't gel with inflection noted in Andrius's play towards end of D2. Might be wrong about that then.

Doesn't change the fact that kanye needs rope..

What recent activity? He hasn't posted since D2 started.
If your point is that scum wouldn't avoid the thread altogether like this without posting - note that he's not been posting on the site for the last week at all (he went awol before D2 started here)

I'm aware he's probably site-flaked. I just find it interesting none of the people on his wagon mentioned it.

See I'm going to have to go back to Battle for Olympus to look at your Day 1 posting there and see if it lines up with this post.

I'll be very curious how your reads list changes day to day since basically all your 'scum' are driven off your Town reads (which I don't see as very accurate ATM).

But please elaborate on you Sun and Moon Town read when they have posted nothing as far as content goes and both heads (Amrun and CSL) are active elsewhere on site.
"I am a leaf on the wind ... watch how I soar!"

Pretty much Geriatric game restricted at this point ... unless there are players I REALLY want to play with.

I am working on this... This game was supposed to be CSL's responsibility. He keeps saying he's read the game but then when I say, "Awesome! Please post!" I find that no post has been made...

Even though this game is on my #1 to do list I haven't got there yet. I'm pretty sick and it's hard to concentrate on long texts (like this game) and all my concentration has been going to schoolwork first. I spent the weekend v/la out of illness but the illness hasn't gone away (and in fact I've been sick for a month and it's a legitimate problem).

But I have some time set aside tonight. I've started working on this already. I've vowed to do it, and I will.

I will probably always feel guilty about this game. :(

But ooba probably IS town for his posting in general today and his putting us on the townlist when there is no real reason to put us there.

Feysal is the sk, but lynching the sk today is lazy. We need scum, not sk.

I ignore posting frequency when I make votes unless I specifically see them posting elsewhere and not here. Makes things simpler.

Okay, I see what you mean. But I disagree with the general idea that it takes a lot of posts to read someone. And you seem to be arguing here that you haven't posted enough to be scummy enough*; I don't like that either.
* for some value of the word enough

I'll give you a game that includes both. In Mini 815, I joined on page 6, and using only pages 1-5 decided that two players were scum. One was, and the other wasn't. My first content post was this one, about the non-scum one (I wasn't voting because of game mechanics). The best example of my confidence on those reads was this response after Papa Zito, one of my town reads, joined me on the scum wagon on page 8. You may want to continue reading on page 9.

If your point is to study my playstyle and see whether I often express confidence in my reads when I'm town, the answer is yes, and I can provide evidence of that. Whether those reads are correct or incorrect wouldn't affect my behaviour, as I would hold the same belief either way.

I look forward to future Sun and Moon content.

Reads tonight.

I have a massive amount of games to catch up in.

What's that search supposed to show? That he was posting elsewhere during N2?

Actually, now that I think about some more, the fact that he appears to have been forgotten about this game during the extended night phase suggests he wasn't talking in a qt.

Yeah, today's lynch should be VitR.
