No I mean why did scum specifically make it obvious that they let the hoods rand instead of letting it rand and letting people see AI hood choices where there are none

maybe it wasn't that obvious since no one noticed it straight away, but the choice seems more intentional than not
it's intentionally done to make it seem... not intentional? it could be specifically done to deny info behind neighborhood choices
I feel like it's not helpful to speculate on this? Real question, what does it gain?

Seems right to me, randomized or not there's still one scum per hood. VOTE: yesiree I don't like that you sheeped python with the vote on invisibility.
this feels a bit forced for a rvs vote? are you scumreading me based on that vote alone or are you just happy to vote in the small hood?
I said at the top of the post you quoted it wasn't RVS. I am looking in the small hood first, though, and I'm not sure why everyone wouldn't. It's awesome to be able to focus on only 3 players for a guaranteed scum lim.
Okay, this might be a bit weak but I townread Python bc the hoods are random. Having done a game with them I honestly can't imagine them not optimizing the perfect groups.

Hood choices let you profile scum, in this case we're hunting for the kind of stick in the mud that'd unironically randomize hoods as scum when signing up for a setup revolving around scum picking hoods

In this setup I think it's actually optimal for everyone to operate under a collective delusion that anyone can get limmed d1 regardless of hood because it generates the associatives needed to solve for the big hood scum later in the game

I'm thinking that the yesiree vote could be an attempt to create a false sense of solidarity with python.
I think Yesiree is the most likely scum in the hood but I dunno how how much water this argument holds (in gallons) considering his choice was 50/50. Like, yeah he could be doing that but I don't think it's more likely to be the case

Or what if the point was for the partner to pop up with a townread because Python wouldn't not optimize?
Seriously though, reasonable point, but what if the ordered player list already was optimized for what they wanted?
I'm guessing that would make the partner someone reasonably experienced or at the least confident, since they'd be expected to have to carry endgame. So I guess not you.

ok but have you considered the fact that I'd put myself in the big hood to keep my 0% lim rate?

Defintely possible, but this feels like something I could get sucked into WIFOMing about forever and I don't want to do that.
Your guess is interesting and would answer the player list question, but I think there's a lot of players that could orchestrate that in this game. Basically anyone but me and Burger (I think? Don't know if you're an alt account).

Yup. And I'm not at all surprised to see you in the small one.
I'm getting bored with my vote. Let's go vote... Um... VOTE: SirCakez

I'm trying to see who's reaction to the hoods being the playerlist js the most disingenuous since that's probably the biggest event so far.
userPython didn't notice and went full wolf on Invis
Yessiree didn't notice and sheeped (to get an rvs wagon going)
Invis was the one to point it out.
user's reaction is pretty decent so I feel comfortable townbinning for now.
This is pretty much BP's only post I could call scum hunting and it reads pretty fakable and like the thought might not really be there.
sooo VOTE: BurgerParty
I actually liked Burgers post since the genuineness of the "Oh I didn't notice the hoods were randed" is probably the strongest townslip to be found this early, why do you think their ISO is worse than Dans or STDs?
