I started re-reading the game but given the sheer volume of posts it’s taking a bit long, so apologies for not posting in between.

VOTE: Nanook
Can somebody remind me what the plan is again?
I have tried to keep up with the game, give reads, and articulate repeatedly why this is a game that’s difficult for me to get a good grasp on. But none of it matters - I’m not playing “Town positive”, or I’m probably Scum because ~role related argument~
Nobody has quoted posts of mine yet to tell me why my reads are suspect, why I’m probably Scum, and why AD has to be my Scum buddy. It’s entirely a role argument, or a POE argument, or some other nonsense. And now, we’re about to “railroad” the Town into submission?
I guess what I’m most frustrated about is that these arguments have completely taken over the game, to the point where no one has reads on players anymore - we have a strategy and a plan around roles that the Scum can also read and anticipate, and that’s about it.
From my early read of the game, I don’t feel like Skitters is Scum, and I am certain that AD is Town (for obvious reasons). Cats can publicly clear (or condemn) a player, so lynching there makes no sense. Skitter has Mylo as strong Town, and I think that Mylo’s role and use are a strong indication that this is the case (besides his constant checking in and trying to come up with a reasonably sound plan to tackle the rest of the game), but if Mylo is Scum we have a bit of a blind spot. Riley was extremely inactive early in the game, only jumping in to defend Neymar in a post after a vote from Erika in #388 (and before Neymar had said anything), so that is the only thing that gave me pause (to the point where I pushed Riley about it). Besides that, I can’t seem to clear Srceenplay, Urist, or Nanook. Nanook I thought I had a good feel for early in the game, calling him Town, but his arguments against me have been terrible. It’s massively misguided, or just plain Scummy. His job at this point has to be to insert doubts into people to turn against us, and it seems to be working. Which is why I said that I would want to force the lynch to be one of us two. So yeah, perfectly happy to vote here. If this is Town, then just lynch me tomorrow. I don’t really care - the Scum clearly have played it well and there’s no use for my existence anymore.
