My activity is going to continue to dwindle. Life blows.
Allegory case coming next. Die you filthy... cheeky... disgusting... rat *******... scum.
Completely unnecessary and extremely distasteful. The tone towards Soup~ can be assumed to be taken because you found his slot directly scummy. But to take on the same attitude based on a connection you believe exists between me and him deserves questioning.
Ok. This was something I did just to show Vandy my thoughts on Allegory. At the time he had a slight town read but was worried about his wishy washyness and him being open with his options. He just thought he may have been a over thinking townie. But after I showed him this, he told me I should deff post it, so here it is:
I can see two qualifications for these statements. The first being the end of D1 in which I reconsidered my read on Spidermang for the reason I listed earlier today (D2). The second being my statement that I don't want to see Swiss, S-Tier, or No Name on the lynching block for D1 since I found their slots to possess organic thinking, pro-town actions, or town telling.

He attacks No Name while also saying he disagrees. Yet no push on Soup ever? I felt that was a bit odd on re-read
I disagreed with No Name's comment. Soup's early play seems to be overly conscious. Standard RVS play is to park your vote on a slot and then start pushing away for information. This was captured more or less by Soup~'s #39:
Soup~ said:
I'm not ready to call it anything, nor am I ready to vote.
Indicating he doesn't want to take a position nor park a vote which is one thing, but to blatantly announce that he is going to fence sit and withhold his vote during RVS is weird. However, Soup~ was already giving away information with regards to Swiss and Spidermang. I didn't want to get involved in that triad because they would likely produce enough information on their own without my intervention. Instead I was more curious how No Name got a town read off of Soup~'s behavior since it was not orthodox at all and deserved pressure, not praise.
I prioritized getting some information D1 that would give me results I would be satisfied with and one that would help town since they were not approaching it. I pressured No Name for reactions on his slot and aw his Soup~'s comment as an excellent start to make him feel pressure and to hopefully crack and let us see what intent was there behind the surface.

Now hey here is Allegory's next post:
#198
He mentions soup (while voting No Name) yet doesn't really give a suspicion towards him. He disagreed with No Name's read, but doesn't give it now that No Name has given reasoning.
No Name never gave me a reason to why he thought Soup~ was town. He did it because it was a gut read and also thought that it would make for a funny pun. Those aren't statements you refute, much less statements that would open me up to explain why his read was illogical when weighed with mine. Your post implies that I was given an opportunity to refute reasoning with reasoning. I wasn't and had no opportunity or reason to out why I didn't think that Soup~'s initial play was townie.
zapp said:
Bold, he seems to imply No Name refusing to give reasoning for his Soup Town read means No Name may be newb scum who doesn't want to get himself dug in a ditch. Underlined, he doesn't really give a read on Soup.
No Name was withholding reasons as to why he had an early read. There were a lot of possibilities tied into that decision. An alignment tell would be based on his explanation behind his read and why he was intentionally stalling in outing it. Also you note that I don't express a read on Soup~ during this exchange, I don't see why I would need one since that wasn't the central question that needed to be answered in the push. The central question was, why was No Name delaying his explanation of a read that he nonchalantly gave in RVS?

Doesn't really show if he has a read on Soup. Just shows that he actually misunderstood Soup's view point, and is ok with it. Doesn't really draw a conclusion from it. Just says for him not to dissapoint him... I don't know why he said that.
Underlined, this just seems like distancing.
I thought Soup~ was going to treat Swiss as null and just try to determine his alignment by PoE'ing everyone else around him and trying to draw relationships. I believe I stated this shortly afterwards.

Underlined, he mentions an... awkward feeling of Soup. It's like he is slowly feeling... no warming up to a soup scum read. As opposed to his No Name scum read that came like *snap* (I even snapped man whew) Maybe I could be looking at it wrong? You tell me.
This is perhaps the most important and central thing you need to know about me. It will also skew this game against me since knowing how I think allows me to be manipulated. However, because you don't understand my play I will do it since I do not want to refute another ridiculous case like this anytime soon.
People make awkward plays as both town and scum. Just because someone plays in an off manner or departs from their own meta, it doesn't necessitate that they are people who have gotten mafia roles and are acting weirdly out of some weird guilt reaction from receiving an alignment in a game. So yeah, I'll call people out on awkward play and no, I don't think that looking at single actions is enough for me to get a comprehensive alignment read.

I don't see anything about Soup, just NO Name. Which I liked at the time... because I was focused on No Name + Stier. Maybe he dropped the pressure? I just feel that he was trying to focus on No Name more than Soup for a dastardly reason...
???

Now hereeee:
#332
Underlined, he mentions that he had trouble reading Soupa from the start (which I find hard to believe) and now only says that he read Soup as having a bad start, and not just being scummy. Even tho he did state disagreement on him being town early on. So this sounds to me like he was just saying "I'm eager to disagree on your town read"
to have a reason to push on No Name.
Sorry for the long wall. I was going to just use links but I want people to see the underlined text too.
No Name was pushed because [1] he said something questionable [2] he wasn't being pushed by anyone else and [3] his push would give more information since no one was trying to do [2] + the possibility that he would be easier to read than other players due to the hydra being players who aren't quite that experienced.
The reason why you see a lot of Soup~ thrown in with No Name is because the No Name push came from his super early town read on Soup~. The major quotations that you took from me are related and needed to be put in context with this in mind. My read on the Soup~ slot was not related to my push on No Name nor do I believe that a read was needed on the slot at all to find out No Name's intentions.
tl;dr Aside from the lack of viewing a push in context:
"He mentions soup (while voting No Name) yet doesn't really give a suspicion towards him"
Several pieces of zapp's "analysis" are summary comments
"He attacks No Name while also saying he disagrees."
Trying to gauge/slander my intentions when he can't grasp it
"... for a dastardly reason"
And a failure to understand the meaning of pressure
"... no warming up to a soup scum read. As opposed to his No Name scum read".
This was really stupid. Ran does Van really have me on gut town lean? I don't think so if he wants me wasting time explaining to you stuff like this.
