I thought about that and declined to ask the mod about it because I believe it shouldn't influence my read on him.

Also, it is good that you are voting because that leaves a trail and can be analyzed later. However you should try to articulate why you are voting for that person. Just because they appear to be the common consensus might be a good enough reason for you but for the others it's rarely enough. Why vo...

I'm about 88% certain that heury is not scum. ok, i'm thinking i should vote for someone else then. but i dont want to just make a shot in the dark. i see nothing in any particular post that makes me think its that person. You should not base your vote on what others think. I could be scum for inst...

was your use of percentages here specifically meant to bait out something like this? Not specifically, though I of course was interested in any reaction to it. isn't this more an argument for not tunneling early reads, as opposed to not having early scum reads at all? I tend to believe that I'm rig...

why not?

Because in the past my early tunnels were more often wrong then right.

Because a little tiny town Sabrar lives in my brain on a little tiny xcadia and he's said you'd think the was the most suspicious pairing at that moment. I know your vote was RVS I'm not counting that. Please explain how you came to that conclusion. - up until that point you haven't interacted with...

This seems incredibly sure for so little content from me (I've been at work and school). And why rule out us as buddies specifically? I don't think we interacted You interacted indirectly (heury failed to notice that you already posted). Do scum have daychat? I checked the rules and the word chat w...

@messie: why are you so sure that there are only 2 scum?

Eido wrote: ↑Sun Mar 06, 2022 11:08 am Scum!Phillip, being new and all, probably seeks this type of guidance from the private chat ? They would have a buddy and a mentor after all.

However his buddy could advise him to repeat this question in the thread as well to give off this exact impression. Similar things have happened before.

No, I've started RVS and left my vote on you because I'm lazy. I try hard not to do quick scum-reads anymore.

Not entirely. Your timing is suspicious. Yeah, because I'm known for being patient and not refresh the page every minute when I'm expecting role pm-s to be sent out. I'm sure you have a GoJoe post about that saved somewhere. Why an FoS why not a vote? Is there a reason you want to leave your vote o...

Why do you think there are 3 scum? Why does 66% mean 3 scum? That's the standard chance anyone would have being town. heury is supposedly town from their own pov so 9 players, 3 scum means 6 other townies, 6/9 = 66% give or take. @Sabrar: Why do you think Messie is my scum buddy? Why do you think I...

Your goal (if you're town) is: 1. figure out who the bad guys are 2. convince the rest of the town that you are one of them so you don't get eliminated by mistake You might be able to do the first one while observing from the background, but for the second we definitely need your active participatio...

Yes, that would be extremely helpful.

Ruling out buddies. but doesn't the second option mean the same thing?

Why do you think there are 3 scum?

I'm about 97% certain that heury and Mark are not both scum. I'm about 88% certain that heury is not scum.

No, he's usually not. He might try something different this game but that still falls way short.

@Makhaira: could you please describe how you normally play as town? Do you have any strengths (e.g. good hunches, vote-analysis, etc)?

Okay, for starters, I think only half my brain hates D1 now and I also have half identified the scum team from their confirmation posts (hint: Sabrar). I knew it! It was the dot that betrayed me, wasn't it? I'm familiar with messie (both halves), boomfrog, Wam, less so with heury and somitomi, even...

I already apologized, what more do you want from me? Cake?

That would be Makhaira I think.
