Sorry guys for latish post, had school plus job hunting. This is a wall of text, so be warned.

Out of FF/RR/AM, FF's opinion to me I trust the most. I think he is the towniest out of those three and therefore respect his opinion over the other two if he were to speak up about something. I said it to let it be known that FF was my strongest town read at the moment from that post.
Okay, but this brings up a new question. How can you find FF townie? The only thing he has done this game is come in, complain about AM and the town in general, talk about how we should treat some very general situations (the princess claim, inactives/lurkers) and left. What from that convinces you of FF being town, and why so readily give your trust to him? Do you think he's town, or do you just want him to be town?
SD - I already responded as to why I thought Joey was scummy. Small as hell D1 bulletpoints coming up.
I'll appreciate that. You've haven't done this yet if I read correctly, but have posted again since you said you would do this. At the very least, quote to me where you stated your reasoning, because I don't feel like looking through this whole thread for it.
@J's 470 & 474: Hard to tell if you're buddying people or just identifying people who you think are pro town players. Going to go with my gut on this one and say the later of the two. That's kinda cool.
AM said:
Sword and Red Ruy, explain the premise for the Gorf wagon.
Jumped on the Gord wagon originally because I thought Gord was being opportunistic (following you) and because I thought he was attacking a point which I thought was wrong (that RR provided no content). Later I admitted that upon further reflection the points were legit but I still questioned his overall reasoning (what could he expect out of RR so early on?). Possible connection to FF is an addded bonus.
I've realized since my 450 that some of these points for attacking Gord are weak (Gord being opportunistic, saying that the reason he originally attacked is weak (I think this still holds truth in it but staying on Gord's wagon for it is what's weak)) so I'm probably going to jump off of it.
J said:
Red/Orange can die.
Personally, I want Gord. Upon a GordScum flip we have a scumJoey or a scumAdumb. A scumAdumb flip gives us a scumGord but little to work with regards to Joey. scumJoey lynch will add to scumGord.
Gord is the better candidate out of the red for me personally.
How exactly does Gord scum = Adumb/Joey scum?
@LJ's 526: Agree that RR's scum or town flip isn't indicative of Joey's alignment.
Gonna go off on a little rant here, because I have no idea how anyone could think that there is a scummy connection between those two. What a weird way it would be for two scummies to interact. I mean, a scummy directly defending their partner just to bus them after someone tells them why they're wrong? Nah. A town Joey genuinely changing his mind about RR seems much more likely than scum playing a large WIFOM game of purposefully having weird interactions with one another.
also @ LJ's 526: Iffy about though how you're leaning town on RR. Can you explain this please?
@Tery's 540:
Frozenflame expands on the princess stuff for people like me who have never seen one played before, but also wants answers from the people are doubtful of Aggressive Mediation’s claim. Good policy on inactive and noncontributing players as well. I’m aware other people have similar stances, but Frozenflame has actually said something in the open. All in all, I see pro-town implications. Also backed up by #326.
Ugh no. Anyone and their mom could of said what Frozen said. Don't be naive. He didn't write that post out for you, or anyone like you. He did it just to post. That's it.

Hi J.
I’m gonna have to disagree. People have lives (I assume) so stuff like that happens. Like my catchup followed by this one, since I’m always busy on weekends. While it doesn’t really sound like a great idea, this doesn’t always imply suspicion. You also contradict yourself (?) later by saying you doubt Red Ryu sidelining because of interactions with Aggressive Mediation, but then later calling Red Ryu out for only pushing when pushed? Is that not sidelining / fake contributing?
You're gonna have a hard time catching scum if you let people off the hook because they have "lives."
Did I say that I doubt RR sidelining? I thought just asked Gord if he still thought RR was sidelining?
In anycase, you're right that I don't think RR is sidelining, at least not anymore. I have admitted that he was sidelining early on. However, that does not contradict my find that he is attacking only the people who attack him. Sidelining is when someone tries to avoid direct conversation (see: my scum play in RG and Community mafia, two great examples there). Only attacking those who attack you, or OMGUS, is bad because it shows a small focus, and a concern only for oneself (a scummy thing).
Tery, you're points against RR are kinda nitpicky.
LJ said:
Joey was looking pretty town early play, but i'm not sure about late play.
Vult is town too. #177 makes me want to just hug him or something.
Sword can go null now, i'll lean town with him though.
I thought I was townie to you. Why the sudden change of heart?
also FF is town with his introductry post, this bro gets it
noooooooo heeee's noooooot. At best, he's null.
LJ said:
Joey is totes scummier anyways and he hardcore defended you and then suddenly backstabbed you and has you leaning scum.
unvote vote: Joey
weasel4lyfe man
Wait, you totally said in your 526 that you thought Joey was town. In your 558, you said Joey was scummy because of his play "of late". However, here you're voting Joey based off of a reason that happened way earlier than his play of late. This looks like a hefty contradiction here. Explain.
fos LJ
you're trying too hard to look town (posting walls, asking questions, etc. etc. protown stuff) while when you are town you don't care how you look or appeal to people.
gross meta reasoning here.
Obtw adumb comparing me to Ran or SWORDSR? Yikes I didn't think you thought I was THAT bad lol.
Hope you're referring to SRB here, or else my feelings will seriously be hurt.
AM said:
Yeh, we decided to make the most of our role. After claiming it, we decided we'd use it to gain reactions and get people out of RVS. We found it weird Vult would rather call us lying scum and attack us for it than to realize our case on him was a reach and dismiss it. Why would he take the time to point out a gambit he recognizes? What's the town benefit for it?
What he did/didn't do also kinda feels like a week case. Pointing out a gambit is indeed illogical, but it's not so scummy in my eyes that I would kill him for it.
AM said:
**** like this is what makes me think he's not scum, he's just being misread. almost positive that if a gorf lynch goes down, it'll be a mislynch.
Fair to what you pointed out
What about them isn't noobtown?
Almost every post you make looks exactly like your scum meta. I'm starting to think that you should go before Gord.
gross meta post from Beat's end this time. Also, it's kind of a blanket term for you to say that every single one of RR's post looks like his scum meta.

Questions/Stances:
J I'm liking a little bit. Definitely disagree with J over some things but I generally just like J's play style. Slight town read.
LJ, I've been meaning to ask you this for awhile, but what was the point of your 365? Why ask the questions that you did to me and Vult? More specifically, why ask us about those people?
I's leaning null-scum on LJ as of now. Not liking his very early play or his contradiction as of late, but he came to the same conclusions as me over a bunch of things, so that's cool.
I could see beat being scum if RR were to flip town. I get the feeling that he has simple been riding off other scum picks. Going off of that chain of thought, he could just try to be riding the RR wave. Conversely, a scum RR would make me feel more confident in a town Beat. Now, I'm not saying he should be the lynch toDay, or even that he should be toMarrow's lynch if RR flips town. Rather, he simply should be looked at upon a town RR flip.
I could also see Adumb as scum for AM’s listed reasons. Like Beat, a town flip of RR would make him look grimy.
I really hope that Joey is town, because my town read on him is pretty firm. Don't fool me Joey.
I can't agree with Tery's stances on Joey and Frozen. Also, I'm still bugged by his lack of vote. However, I kinda get newbie townie vibes from his (form instinct), so slight newbie town read on him for now. Subject to change.
IIRC, I remember AM saying that Gord wagon can't really go any further. That I can agree with, I don't think we, or at least I, can really get much more from the Gord wagon. Plus realizing that some of the points I originally had against Gord are kinda week, I'm willing to raise Gord from scum to null.
unvote
I could see scum wanting to focus on the whole princess issue, which is one reason why I might see Vult as scum. Although Idk man, I'm still not entirely sold on it and am going to need a lot more convincing.
@AM: If you please, could you summerise all the points against Vult? I'm not entirely convinced by your case, so I want to talk about it.
The longer FF remains silent, the more he can die. His introduction seems scummy in a Gehb sort of way.
RR can still die. I like his activity a lot, but I’m not liking him only attacking of his attackers, and his early play was sloppy. Plus, everyone seems to have made connections with him, so seeing his flip will give people a good reference point I think.
Vote RR
Roxy/LJ are still maybes. Vult is entirely up in the air for now.
