Closed for summer.

I dont think this is an iso really but more of a case against him lol.
How is this TMI? Does this affect your read on Jay?This, as well as shaming Gemma for protecting Jay over Nova, all seem like more TMI to me. Granted, I probably would have been townreading Nova pretty strongly at that point in the game as well, but he's making such a big deal of it all and that sets me off in retrospect.
How is it an attempt to pivot away from Mac? It really just looks like he wants opinions around his scumreads.More of this, trying to look like he's steering discussion, and an attempt to pivot away from mac -- tmi or teammate?
I know the point of the ISO is isolation and to remove things from context but like
I dont think it’s a faked dumbtell considering he dragged it out for a few daysI could quote more posts but in general his ISO reads like he's tunneling DDL but whenever another easy target comes up he's all "oh yeah I'd totally lynch there" -- happens in regards to low posters like jessie and rdw, and also the way he suspects owner, backs off when she claims because of his mistaken "assumption" about the roles (easily faked "dumbtell" which I already brought up) and then eagerly goes right back to suspecting her:
B( i still dont know what it means.Nova called this salad. Drago probably doesn't know what that means. At least one of his teammates probably does. Nova died.
(don't @ me for NKA lol I just think it's funny, and the salad accusation in itself is a fair one.)
Why does it not look natural coming from him? What about it made you feel that way?Then there's the stuff just from today. Going after Owner for criticizing the Gemma lynch ex post facto when he did much the same thing both pre- and post facto. Yeaaah, hypocrisy yada yada, civilians have double standards sometimes, I know, but I still really don't like it -- he's too eager to jump on owner. I grant her post was weird but drago made it into a whole thing that doesn't look natural coming from him.
k this is what i've got for now, will gather speed stuff next but probably eating first

AAAAAAAAAA NO! Hesitance is NOT BAD!! Townies SHOULD be hesitant! Why does everyone have it in their head that hesitance/hedging/wishy-washiness is suspicious? Like of course it varies player to player but this is absolutely a hill I would die on. Townies SHOULD be unsure and question their opinions. Also, not giving a crap is often bad.
I know i just scrolled past this convo trying to find the last post i was on so I’m gonna read what’s been said and then come back with any questions I’m still left with.
Fwiw though I think being hedgy is scummy. Reconsidering opinions is different than what I think you’re implying here
@nutella I think we are talking about two different things. People being hesitant to post or state opinions is bad. Second-guessing those opinions or waffling is NOT bad (Or, at least, NAI).
Ultra was lynched for being hesitant to interact with the thread. Being scared to post openly is bad.

Combined with the fact that all she gave was a toneread without any assembled details... it's a very detached read by design.
I could see town nutella making the same post, technically. It just felt engineered to be a little off.

Part of the Jay thing was tied to Gemma, yeah, so that's dwindled a bit, but it's still possible he's bad and got her into his pocket early on. He's putting in a lot of effort today though, which I think he could fake but it feels legitimate so far.

"Player salad" is a term invented on this site afaik for when someone lists off a handful of players that they would be "ok with lynching" or something similarly hedgey/noncommittal, widely regarded as a scum tell bc they are leaving their options openLuxurious wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2019 12:20 am Nutella that iso is like

It’s mostly because it looks like you’re trying to lynch him rather than interact with him at all and convince us that he should be lynched.
A bunch of your stuff I dont agree with anyway since i was interacting with him at the time, but the only thing I really want answered is
What the fuck does salad mean

I may need to do some research on how often speed sets early traps like this as town. It's not something I associate with him but my memory could be failing me. If he's scum it would be an easy way to set up an early mislynch target.speedchuck wrote: ↑Mon Apr 29, 2019 11:24 amTo add to Jack's above thoughts, DDL could have just voted as a disapproval and then moved on.

I don't feel like I'm the authority on this, as I'm the one who baited the trap and might be biased, and DDL was the first to respond, but he definitely looks worst at first glance.

Ended up being a nothingburger.
If not for my hypothetical statement, these are two completely separate suspicions, yeah? Not sure how it relates.
Like... all of his scumreads are extremely weak. There's no heart in it.

I use the term iso when I create a post from going through someone's iso, but I just pick and choose the things I care to react to
TMI in that nova was his strongest townread/he said nova should have been protected. Not sure what you mean about Jay, the fact that Gemma apparently townread him is irrelevant here. ..Oh, unless you're saying Drago and Jay could be w/w?How is this TMI? Does this affect your read on Jay?This, as well as shaming Gemma for protecting Jay over Nova, all seem like more TMI to me. Granted, I probably would have been townreading Nova pretty strongly at that point in the game as well, but he's making such a big deal of it all and that sets me off in retrospect.
How is it not? He's expressing annoyance that people are only talking about Mac and not these other people, and says hey please talk about these other people. And yeah, I townread mac, but there'd be more actual motive in pivoting away from him if they were teammates so I'm putting forth both possibilities.How is it an attempt to pivot away from Mac? It really just looks like he wants opinions around his scumreads.More of this, trying to look like he's steering discussion, and an attempt to pivot away from mac -- tmi or teammate?
Based on your reads you would assume this is tmi so like, why ask this lol.
it was more indirect, there was at least agreeing with him on DDL re: the no lynch bait, and maybe something elseYou’ve quoted the nova post he made regarding townreads, but idr a speed post. Is there something that you saw that connected that for you? I’m gonna look for it myself after this just in case I can find it.
Well I was only looking at his posts so I only saw his responses to that progression, and you're right that there was a progression/he needed to be prodded to answer the question, but once he answered he really answered lol. He gave five names and then two more without being further prompted I don't think (correct me if I'm wrong there bc that is the main issue I see) even though earlier he was like "no I really don't like to name townreads" -- suddenly when he's being criticized and poked and prodded at for it he's all too eager to fix it.I know the point of the ISO is isolation and to remove things from context but like
You had to skip the whole discussion where Nova called bullshit on his pocketing post.
It took a lot to just get this list from him.
So this kinda looks like you intentionally removed the posts around it to make it look as if he went from having no townreads to having a lot of townreads which is like
Wayyyyy bad. Especially since he was so hesitant to give any in the first place
Anyway my point to this is: did you skip past the parts where we had to harass him for any kinda reads at all?
okay, sure. it doesn't have to be fake for him to be mafia though, maybe the mafia all have roles that seem like common roles for mafia to have and he still didn't realize how the setup workedI dont think it’s a faked dumbtell considering he dragged it out for a few daysI could quote more posts but in general his ISO reads like he's tunneling DDL but whenever another easy target comes up he's all "oh yeah I'd totally lynch there" -- happens in regards to low posters like jessie and rdw, and also the way he suspects owner, backs off when she claims because of his mistaken "assumption" about the roles (easily faked "dumbtell" which I already brought up) and then eagerly goes right back to suspecting her:
Otherwise this is like, fine. Not good, but fine.
have explained it now. And I know I am guilty of confbiasing when I do isos bc again I cherrypick stuff that sticks out to me. this in particular was sort of a joke though, I don't think nova was suspecting drago otherwise and his salad accusation seemed like probably joking in the first placeB( i still dont know what it means.Nova called this salad. Drago probably doesn't know what that means. At least one of his teammates probably does. Nova died.
(don't @ me for NKA lol I just think it's funny, and the salad accusation in itself is a fair one.)
You already assume he’s scum here so lol iso.
as in it didn't feel natural how much he pounced on owner for this one thing that was similar to something he did himself, looked like he was trying to push suspicion on her from whatever source he could getWhy does it not look natural coming from him? What about it made you feel that way?Then there's the stuff just from today. Going after Owner for criticizing the Gemma lynch ex post facto when he did much the same thing both pre- and post facto.

k this is what i've got for now, will gather speed stuff next but probably eating first
Also re: critiquing Gemma lynch, Mac also criticized it and didnt vote there. He then voted for Dragomir claiming TMI. How does that affect your Mac read?
Oh this is fucking bullshit. Excuse me here but I am triggered by this. BY NO MEANS did I ever do the same thing that I called out Owner for! I literally said my brag post wasn't telling town that they shouldn't have lynched Gemma but just me bragging and I explained why to you! You haven't responded to it yet and now you're ignoring it over here acting like I'm being a hypocrite when it's not the case.
