No I’m not. I know it was brought up. If anything it draws attention to the fact you have an excellent scum game. So I’m not posturing anything. Also like how skitters tags along to your train of thought here.
Maybe because it’s an obvious train of thought because you were obviously posturing to make my past games have some sort of influence on this game when that has nothing to do with anything at all
I’m out so I cant really read everything or respond.
But DS is a pushy little weasel as scum. I’m just baffled that many seem so certain on him. It’s crazy! Lol
I’m not certain he is scum but I definitely dont have this certainty that he is town!
There has to be scum in {nanook DS skitter} I dont know who or if just 1. But something is rotten… I FEEL IT
Mantis has never played with me before so she has no clue what my scum game is like
The fact that she is saying there “has to be scum” within those three players is an absolute and something scum does often
Absolutely is not. You can say it but it doesnt make it true.
You’re not getting me mislynched. I will do whatever to not allow that to happen
What absolutely is not?
Are you saying that you absolutely did not just use an absolute when you said there “has to be scum”
Or are you saying that scum doesn’t do that?
Both are wrong but I just want you to make a distinction.
VOTE: mantis
I kinda want to lynch DS today.
If they are really good it would be great to lynch them if they are scum and if they are town I guess they aren’t that good to be mislynched.

Policy lynch?
One would think that Riley might be teamed up with Neymar given how he immediately questions Erika’s vote in #387.
Nanook stepping in between DS and Skitter is possibly him establishing the higher ground as Scum [#393]. However, I have Nanook as Town initially from his tone and approach - and when cornered, he definitely tries harder (I’m thinking that game you replaced in @Nanook and I was Scum and you were Town and you tried a few tricks to turn it around).
I clearly missed Srceen’s vote on Mantis prior to #405, but looking at the vote count it doesn’t feel right.
Mantis’ frustration in #408 just seems genuine to me. It’s a running theme - I’m reading some of these posts and there’s some clear exasperation to being read (possibly) wrong.
#412 from DS is kind of silly. Arguing that someone else’s push on you is bad because they are voting you and you know you are Town doesn’t make sense. Unless DS knew for a fact that Mantis was Scum and had access to that information, how is that fair?
I appreciate that Diction is definitely a thing, but we are all different. Using a Scum tell of mine (that I would obviously work hard to avoid next time) to get vibes on someone else might be right, but it might not [#420-#421].
#442 - relying on the Town announcer as your defense for why being Scum read by Urist is bad doesn’t make sense. That’s one player (I’m guessing). Why is their read any more valuable than anybody else’s?
Skitter’s complaints about being Scum read because of writing style ring true to me. I have had this happen to me already - and it’s annoying [#444]. I’m with Urist on the reason for Erika’s vote on Cats instead of me though - I do think it’s just not great. The more I think about it, it could just be bad Town process.
#463 @DS I really don’t like this. I mean sure, you think you’re really Town or whatever but people can disagree about that without them being Scummy. I don’t have a Scum read on you but this “I’m ObvTown” gets boring real fast.
#487 - Srceen could be Scum. If that turns out to the be the case, this weak push on Nanook might be the first evidence of it.
#507 - I agree the claiming from ActionDan was premature. However, though I can understand why you might want two Confirmed Towns in the game, given how early it is, I don’t think it’s optimal and I’m curious as to why this is your first reaction.
#515 is good logic from Cats. #519 is not. Since the roles are hidden, immediately assuming that the one claimed Mason can only be a Scum aligned role seems like a bridge too far.
I agree with Srceen in #525 and Skitters in #526.
Erika’s #580 makes sense. It might be too easy though of an argument to make though.
Erika’s threat in #605 is interesting to say the least. I won’t ask for further details, but I just don’t like it at all.
#612 from me - ignore. I misread your post. In fact, I think you are right on the money.
#617 - wow, I’m full of shit now? From reading someone differently than you? I get that you are pushing on Skitters hard and all, which might be misguided I don’t know, but it was my honest impression. You are focused on language - my point was more about the tunnel focus on Mantis. That’s different. Could it be Scum? Sure, but I didn’t read it that way. And that tunnel focus is not something I think of as being careful. Because say we were to flip Mantis and she’s Town. That tunnel focus is going to come back to bite you (if not to be Scum read, to devalue your reads and impact on the game). And that’s worth something.
#642 - though I understand where you are coming from Skitter in terms of how you read Erika’s response to your question about the vote, you can just ask first instead of assuming. Frankly, you don’t really know.
#666 I agree with Dan here.
#719 from Nanook is NAI. He’s argued this as both alignments.
#769 @Nanook could you detail why you thought AD and Erika are a Team in your mind? I might have missed it.
DS thought experiment makes no sense and sounds Anti-Town (of announcing who can’t use a protective). Why? It’s between three. Say there’s an investigative or watcher role or something. There’s still enough uncertainty that you might miss the action and give them a free NK. Doesn’t work in my mind. Unless you’re trying to waste it, which you are not since you are just saying you won’t use it. Just overall strange.
I don’t agree with #921. More time can be very valuable. Particularly if you are a good schmoozer. Also, Town paranoia is definitely a thing. The point about investigative roles though is very valid. Also, it’s very bold to associate the use of the power with your name directly as Scum. On the other hand, I really dislike that the clarification about the Vig Shot came out the next day. If you wanted a Town Vig to waste that shot, this is the way to do it. And since it’s something you could have asked (and should have asked) prior to using it, that’s bad. You admitted it, so let’s just move on. Im Town reading Nanook here.
DS’ catch on #966 is a good one. Will bookmark for now.
#982 I agree with Nanook here completely. I wrote a similar argument down in this post even.
#993 makes me want to flip Riley to be honest.
#1018 it could be a good Scum move. Or it could backfire massively. It’s risky. Urist could do it though, so I don’t know.
#1028 Srceen wants to lynch DS because DS is a good player and has a reputation? Kinda Scummy in my mind.
That’s my catch up. Will be around later.
VOTE: RileyCake
For now, this is where I want to be.
I didn’t say I thought Erika and AD were a team—i said that I was townreading Erika for doing something that makes more sense for her to do as town than as scum unless she’s scum with AD. The point is actually that I didn’t think they were a team, and that’s why I was townreading her 
Got it.
can you do a tl;dr of your reads? this is literally unreadable.
i assumed she was constantly catching up in ds9 because she didn’t have time, and that’s why she replaced out eventually.
uh chances are pretty high that if i were scum i’d defend mantis no matter her alignment.
It’s just some notes. Can you read my comment on post #617 and respond to it?
Reads list:
Early on I have negative leans on Srceen, Riley and (to a lesser extent) Erika. I’m not liking Cats all that much this game, but it might just be from a contribution standpoint. I’m Town reading Nanook and ActionDan. I have no idea how to feel about you or Mantis, or DS or Skitters. You might literally all be Town and just banging heads. Neymar I’m completely null on.
If I had to take a guess, I would say there’s one Scum in my negative lean basket, and one Scum in the group of you, Mantis, DS and Skitter. And I would go from there.
yes because obviously scum are told in their role PM the gender and mafia history of the other player, so there could be no way of making mistakes like that in-thread!
i played a game last month where i said in my opening post that we should commit genocide against the turks. turns out my scumbuddy was turkish. oops.
