That behavior, that he's trying to solve while progressing towards being baked rather than anti-spewing, trolling, etc, along with the fact he claimed vt, which I wouldn't expect from scum him, makes me think he's town

have u played with them being mafia to know this? or is this u just assuming?

I'm making assumptions cause I feel like it

So without assuming, whats ur read there?

Ellie has lower likelihood of being partnered with other people in Mac’s poe, so she has lower likelihood of being mafia in general from his POV.

Doom reminds me of another player that gets scumread wrongly for similar stuff.

ok well this seems extremely vague and noncommittal

how strong is this read to you?

You seem vague and noncommittal

Strong enough I don’t want them to die D1

I'm not but ok. What's ur PoE rn?

Today it’s made and LC basically

How about you start again and reconsider that?

Unlikely to happen atp

Excuse you, but when did I say I'd derive satisfaction from mass drama? I think I literally posted that I believe the reaction would be "oops, we were all SO SURE!" and they will move on with very very little game progression from it.

Maybe something else is making you cranky. How was your day?

show me where he tries to solve?

i remember him tossing out "alison and nanook are scum" a bunch of times but like.... nothing with remotely any depth of reasoning

MacDougall wrote: ↑Wed Jan 20, 2021 6:33 pm Personally I don't think he's been very scummy but some people I am townreading who know him very well are sure that he is. I'm actually not sure his reaction was incredulous ENOUGH given the circumstances. Like he got snarky but if I'm town with 7 votes on d1 after posting fuck all I would be a sight more snarkier. I also think Ellie is scummier than him and have grown weary that we're looking at Alison's scumgame and they're both voting him.

i'm sure that's vague, but whatever

I'm going to be honest - I think that you're scummy Jimbo but the last time we played I tunneled you a lot and I was wrong so I'm afraid to say it in case I'm wrong again.

what's got you spooked toots

It's hard to verbalize. I just read your posts and my gut reaction is to feel that they're manipulative.

a student forgot to mute her Zoom before declaring "oh my god my teacher looks like Jesus". i'm still not sure if i should interpret it as insulting or complimentary or neither

anyway, with regard to you, Syndicate First Ballot Hall of Famer Long Con, who should know better?

what does that even mean. if i was scum i wouldnt say anything because id be fine with either of you getting baked. i ask because i dont see how people are dropping you in favor of made, who I don't think is scum. what do you mean "wrong side of tracks"?

dunno if i would say that the LC wagon is losing traction - he still seems to be the consensus scumread, and i still scumread him. i'm just satisfied with the amount of pressure that he's under right now, and it feels beneficial to push outside and see how it impacts my reads

i'm willing to consider an ellie!scum world - do u have any major points against her?

he still is, but he's beginning not to be. Points against her are the thing she did earlier with 1 scum in x/x seemed extremely set up. Thinking back on it though, it presumed that if LC was town you were mafia, right? Wonder how that functions with my teamreads on her. Regardless, she did that. She's outing reads in a way and frequency completely different to her town game, and I really don't see how she could progress in her town games so much from one game to another. It feels like TMI. Her town game I linked earlier was in a low posting game with newer players, and she had barely any reads. I had to tell her to ISO someone to get more than like 2 and she came out of it with a null read. This game the players are way stronger and there's 10x more posts and somehow she comes out of this with more confidence. I understand why for a lot of people more content=more confident reads, but Ellie's other games were decently low volume, so I don't see how this isn't at least a little overwhelming. This is supported by the fact her town reads didn't have much depth.

Are you saying you think she’s coached or that because she knows who’s what, she’s more confident in making reads?
