First flag. Potassium replaces in, and takes quite a while to actually catch up, and invest himself in the game. He doesn't contribute anything but a J vote. Elaboration comes later, but the J vote was opportune. Both easy things to do as scum. His motive? To get an easy lynch, over Levi. (Which J was, he just let himself go without even a defense)
Guilty of taking a long time to get into the game.
Explain why exactly I wanted a lynch other than Levi D1? Your wording here makes it sound like Levi would be a scum partner I was trying to avoid having lynched. Except for the fact we have 100% confirmation that Levi is not scum from both the MOD and a member of the scumteam, plus the fact that there's no way it's a 4-man team.
You're reaching to call my low activity near the start of the game scummy, you should not have made this your first point. But yes, I took a long time to get invested.
Second red flag, and it is a big one. His wishy washiness towards Werekill. Initially he comes into the game stating how Were gave him a ton of red flags, but he flip flops on Were many times. As you can see, he eventually comes to the conclusion that he would want Gova/Werekill D3, but finally states he'd prefer not to have Werekill that day, and pushes towards Gova.
This point is the one that I think makes the most logical sense in scumreading me. I came into the game with Werekill as my only scumread due to his early posts. He was screaming scum to me. Then, when he began to make posts with 100% content and no fluff, they were suddenly really townie. I questioned my read and wrote it off as him just being a player who likes to post fluff in his games. Later when Werekill pushes were happening (mostly at yours and Levi's hands), I was prompted to reread the game a bit (I got to around page 9). On the reread I again saw scum in Werekill and backed the lynch again. Fast forward back to where the game was at that point and you have Werekill's improved posts and then, later, a scum flip from Bunzy. Some good distancing between the two of them and Werekill's improved posts pushed him in the townier direction, while some things still bugged me. I can say honestly and truly that I was very conflicted about Werekill. In hindsight (20/20), his fluffy posts really were scummy, and his content wasn't actually all that great. His distancing was though, so props on that.
All I can really do after explaining my thought process above is to present you with some sweet, sweet WIFOM: Why would I create such an obvious connection with a scummate by constantly flip-flopping my read on them and bringing a lot of attention to the fact that I can't make up my mind?
Honestly though the way I treated Werekill was
strange due to my read flipping a lot, and I can see you finding this scummy. Fair point.
Third red flag, he keeps Levi at an arm's distance. Consider that Were-scum was reading Levi as town and pushing for Levi to prove his claim to "test" it, but was the scum roleblocker in reality, preventing him from testing it. Now consider some scum-mates may either push Levi, or also push for him to prove his claim/stay alive. Dabuz pushed Levi as a lynch, but didn't do so convincngly enough. Potassium, has been pushing Levi to claim since he claimed, and even while we were pushing to lynch him. You can tell that he didn't quite care about Levi's claim being tested, as he even stated that there would be no chance of Levi saying he'd be RB'd until Lylo. This also shows that they aren't connected (like I previously suspected), but Potassium had the motive of keeping Levi alive so that he'd be suspected by others later in the game, to keep town confused.
Fourth Red flag, he distances Werekill. He comes onto the werekill wagon D2 when Zen asks for his hand, and did a read up to page 8 with a werekill scumread. But as you can see, it was still pushed back in favor of a Gova lynch D3. So in my eyes, he didn't really care to read/find scum in werekill, only to keep him alive behind other slots. (Like Gova)
Fifth and final red flag, Potassium is content with pushing avenues that are not Levi/Murder. (And of course, Werekill) He keeps Levi/Murder as TvT to continue to keep Levi alive at night, for the roleblocker to visit him. He pushes towards Gova (without a real scum read on Gova, just a pool) while pushing back his Werekill read. This shows that he isn't genuinely scumhunting, as you can see in the first quote that he sheeps onto Gova when Levi presents the pool. Later on when Levi moves to Werekill, he asks him "Do you town read him [Gova] now?" trying to push back to Gova.[/quote]
I hope you don't mind if I don't respond to your Levi points because they are conspiracy theory crap that while writing a response to I started getting frustrated. Long story short I think the point about how I was trying so hard to put myself out there to keep a slot alive
just so my partner could repeatedly roleblock him is stupid. Sure it makes sense to roleblock him while he's alive so he can't get his ability off, but the risk of justifying reasons to keep him alive just so the scum roleblocker is
forced to waste his action on him every Night? That's stupid. For what? The possibility of confusing town lategame? Well look at that, didn't work and now there's a mod-clear Levi. Sounds like a stupid plan I'd never condone but there you go.
I legitimately wanted to let him try to test his claim because I saw the possibility of Murder being wrong in his read and the value of a strong confirmed town player is very large.
Yes I wanted Gova more than Werekill. Now I realize Gova is town based on what Werekill has said and Werekill's scum flip. I was wrong for scumreading Gova and I was wrong to doubt my scumread on Werekill that I had as soon as I entered the game.
Miss anything?
