anyway, sorry for being slow with my response. I should be fairly active from this point on. Catching up on the thread was murder LOL

Example, if my lynch did go through, it would be important he answer this question for the next day so people could question him and his motivation for making such a post. It is a defensive tactic, yes. Yet I feel it's important to defend myself and ask a person why they are posting what they are to understand their motivation.I think it's important for you to answer that question in the case my lynch does go through, because 'that's just a lot' is flimsy. Also I answered in that manner because that's how much thought I put into the early game. Why does that make me scum over town?
What does him leaning to it to that extent imply in relation to scumhunting in your mind? I'm just curious why you cared to ask him this, when you didn't ask him about Rockin, who had less posts than Maven at the time.I mean we all know you're trigger happy but do you have to lean into it to this extent?
Hes a town lean, not a hard read. He seems to be actually digging and isnt hiding the ball which puts him over the line in the right direction ya know? Marshy is putting pressure in the right places which is a good look imo. Kary is null for me and as mentioned above Id be willing to put pressure in his directionFrozen, why do you have Ryker as Town right now? Curious, also how do you read Marshy and Kary?
lol nah no mistake there, ran and doop can totally stay, you arent my top choice for the noose but not against the ideaBruhoooo I think you accidentally put my name in there instead of Ran or Doop. I got you though brother, no worries!
Mind going into detail about why you came to the conclusion you did about Ran? Like, if I just read your thoughts on him with no conclusion, including how him vs Tom is TvS to you, I’d have totally thought you’d be down to stick it to him today. I’m getting some wicked mixed signals! My freakin head’s spinning man!
Whoa whoa whoa, I’ve got enough time to hang out on this train for a while. I’m not giving up on the scum/dumb lynch of Rockin just for some fart in the wind.Kevin M, it is time. Hop on this wagon.
You mis-read the post. When I said similar, I meant that I also have some issues with Tom and Jex, At the moment, I don't see any scum intentions in his post. Jex, however I see slight scum intentions (The willingness to jump on the wagon, and again, I don't think I heard of anything important from them). However, the 1st part (willingness to jump) isn't enough of a strong reason to vote/want to lynch them, and thus want to see how the day continues to see if anything different happen.Rockin’ my man! Before we inevitably send you to the gallows like the ****in narc you obviously are, might as well have some good ol’ conversation!
I can totally dig the way you worded your take on the Ran vs Tom situation, but you say you have a similar stance to Ran on Tom (that he’s a ****in narc). Assuming you narcread Ran, do you see them being on a team, or is it more that they’re both individually narc-y, but the interaction is TvS? And can you go into more detail on your Tom read for me?
No, wasn't 'moaning' about the catch-up. More of feeling bad it took me longer than I thought TO catch up and post.Honestly cant tell if Rockins moaning about the length of the thread and how "brutal" the catchup was is genuine. Seems exaggerated imo but iirc rockin did have a penchant for being a little dramatic. Definitely more willing to push in his direction now than I was before
so #315 is the post that was a lot - as in it was a lot of nothing. that doesn't make you town or scum but it makes you onerous, and thats discussion too. so i poked you on it,Just concerning that response, so yes me at the moment. I'm fine with waiting but I'd like some elaboration on that it doesn't and why you felt the need to post that 'my post was a lot'. Then I want your updated stance on me after others touch on us.
Woah. Not cool man, not cool.lol nah no mistake there, ran and doop can totally stay, you arent my top choice for the noose but not against the idea
I can dig it man. Totally appreciate the clarity!FF said:It doesnt mean I know which of them is the S in the TvS just because Im getting a TvS vibe from the ran/tom interaction. Thats why Im not looking to "stick it" to either. Like theres conflict there but neither party seems to want to really take a bite out the other which makes me feel one is scum but is holding back for fear of a full on assault backfiring
Hey KevinM if you’re looking for dumb or scum here’s the freakin goldmine, man!He only posted the vote on Marshy saying his post was forced and never returned to post again. He is scum. Trust me on this.
Yea man, totally misread your post. I thought you were saying your Jex and Tom read aligned with Ran’s.You mis-read the post. When I said similar, I meant that I also have some issues with Tom and Jex, At the moment, I don't see any scum intentions in his post. Jex, however I see slight scum intentions (The willingness to jump on the wagon, and again, I don't think I heard of anything important from them). However, the 1st part (willingness to jump) isn't enough of a strong reason to vote/want to lynch them, and thus want to see how the day continues to see if anything different happen.
I'm just saying I want to keep a closer eye on them.
and as for your question, I don't see them on the same team and Tom's #318 and #320 were valid statements to Ranmaru, and then Ranmaru took it as some sort of way soon after. As far as reads on Tom, I haven't seen anything of importance that labels him either Town or scum. The posts have been light with content, but the posts themselves have been pretty good with valid points of what's been going on thus far.
Perfect example dude! I forgot Nabe was even in the game, and realistically Maven’s in the same freakin boat man.maven n nabe
same regarding JTBno read on kary huh
what about JTB
do you find them similar
curious to see what your thoughts were and if they lined up with mine.. and in extension would wanna know how you read both uto and pythag. but i don't care to pursue those questions anymoredoesnt tell me much. i think some players may feel like discussing their own playstyle could b helpful to the town for understanding their style. i really havent seen many scum caught off of what theyve said with regard to their own playstyle. but i have seen townies take issue with the use of self meta; i know theres a school of thought that volunteering self meta is frowned on. that said its an easy statement to make regardless of alignment so shrug
why do you ask?
im slightly leaning on you/ryker/frozen being all town with kary as null atmMarshy how are you reading me right now? How about Ryker and Frozen? Kary?
Also, just to put it out there, I feel like it’s too early and easy defaulting to a wagon like Maven’s just because it’s inactive. If he keeps being a mondo lurker by the end of the Day and the content that he conjures up is akin to his only post, sure. But I’d rather my main man Fandangox come in here and take his place to be honest. Like, we got time, man. If you guys want to be pushing inactive narcs I kinda wish you were pushing players like Pythag or Doop or Macman, since they’re like in the next tier of inactivity where they have things worth looking at, and they’re playing enough to prove they’re not replacement bait, man. I dunno.
Slightly concern with the pick of who you think/feel are town. Not because of who they are or the reasoning, but more of the presence that it's there in the first place early on in-game (though I guess that's just 'experienced Marshy' talking).im slightly leaning on you/ryker/frozen being all town with kary as null atm
I dunno dude. Like, just off memory (and I know it’s a hazy one man!), Doop and Pythag have the same sort of contribution level, but Pythag’s was more spread out and Doop’s was more focused on the Marshy thing. I wanna take a better look at all three of them later today since there’s, like, so little anyway, but unless Mac’s promised catchup post puts his freakin face on the map those three are prone to be sorely overlooked man. It’s like they got enough to exist, but not enough to matter much, man. And what’s the point of preaching peace if you’re not gonna try spreading it bro?!I wouldn't say Doop is inactive. More like, his only target was on Marshy, and I'd like for him to elaborate his thoughts on other players. Pythag and Mac have been somewhat inactive, but I trust they'll post more content in due time (otherwise they can be replaced out like the others).
it looks like he finished his post to me. so this looks fake
uh I'm failing to see how this even remotely scummy - is it THAT weird that ranmaru misread pythag? why would scum wanna fake something like thisYea, and in that same post he totally finished the post. It's totally weird that your interest lies there but like you didn't even realize that.
if anything, some of his pointless questioning of Uto read as ranmaru town, but question for you: do you always find it scummy when someone asks about a players scum meta?Nevermind, I already feeling a carsick and I don't want to throw up during engagement photos, so I'll keep this short for now
I don't like how Jexs and Ran approached questioning UP as the answers he could potential provide have no bearing how to read his alignment. Specifically, Ran asking the questions I previously quoted and Jexs asking something about UP's scum meta that could just be used as a source to push a mislynch.
can you clarify what tonal issues you had?did a brief re-read, no other real scumleans aside from some tonal issues with Ran
despite you having posted a lot and having pushed ran scum heavily, this is the first post that seems liek it has real substance. and i'm not even fully sure what you're going for with it, are you expressing suspicion of Doop? And if so how did it compare to your ran read at the time?See, like, you can say you were riding the same wave as Maven here, but you totally jumped the shark in trying to back your vote with a reason, and realistically, that reason is kinda bogus man. Like, objectively speaking, marshy's opening post isn't bad advice man. I seriously doubt marshy or Ryker expected those posts to be read and for people to get a town read on them. I know I didn't think of mine in that way. It's just, like, their objective take on how the most effective way to keep the ****in narcs off our tail. One and done. I'd have to wait on Maven to weigh in, but like the reasoning you gave for your marshy vote (the notion that giving breadcrumbs is gnarly and pr's outing themselves is no bueno is a contradiction) is NOT the same as his post feeling forced. See what I'm saying man?
Your bit about marshy not wanting to vote you, like, makes "sense" I guess, but it strikes me as, like... forced man. I don't know. And I'm not gonna, like, throw in some cockamamie reasoning for why I think it is, but like it seems like it's just there to add more credence to your marshy vote.
just to clarify, was your initial reason scumread of ranmaru because of his "pressuring a new player" and everything you mention here just reinforced that initial read? also your last paragraph seems to imply you expect town ranmary to be hyper and ask a ton of questions, but that also kinda seems like the issue you and others had with him initiallyI'm not tryna lambaste you or anything, but that's some serious stretching to justify pressuring a new player dude. Like, to be honest, it reads to me as you trying to scramble onto something early game to pursue a narcread on, and the newbie didn't bite. Especially since, like, since that point you haven't really made any of the pursuits I'm used to seeing out of you (I know you've got a readslist on the next page but, like, I'll get to that when I get to that man). This sounds like a justification to backpedal, and from reading the interaction back I can totally see narc!ran trying to paint town!poyzin in a bad light with some wicked confusing questions.
---
I'm not interested in playing the meta-myself-into-a-transcendental-reality sort of game, but usually when you're town you're like a freakin' Mexican jumping bean with how sporadic your play is, even with this bit of time in the game man! Like, you haven't even annoyed me with your bombarding of dumb questions!
maybe later, im sad you switch off pythagMacman: Talk to me.
