Although I did add something: I added quotes to back me up and try and convince others, where you were lazy and relied on players checking for themselves.

I appreciate the response. I’ve done similar things in the past, and I was basically looking to see if you would respond directly to me or not to help further guide my gut feeling on you. And I agree, the case is better with examples included rather than my description of what he was doing

It's the same overall point against both of you. You are here to make safe reads instead of hunt scum.

Which part do you consider the safe read. What I said about Andy/Sci or the case I put forth against E+ ?

KK's tone reads pretty scummy. He's acting like town leader in posts but hasn't done anything to really advance discussion.

This is a classic scum move when a player is voting someone you know is town. Appear helpful by asking a question... but really distance yourself from that player's vote on town.

It doesn't really look like KK helping a scum buddy because a subsequent post where KK says that Andy is town.

It seems reasonable, but I will say what you're finding scummy about him here is very much like what I found scummy about him in Grandi's Cookfia just a couple weeks ago, and he turns out to be Town there.

It's only one data point and any other meta reads I have on Miku are years out of date, but it makes me less inclined to believe that "posting thoughts but not pushing for any particular lunch" is a scum tell for him. He's still in my null read pile as a result.

To me, this looks like a player coming to the thread and wanting to make consistent, light callouts and throwaway town reads rather than someone actually here to find scum.

I'm ambivalent about your Mikujin case: I can see the logic, but something about Mik's posts reads as sort of innocent. I don't know, it's a feeling, they just feel like he's trying to catch up on the thread and is posting as he sees it. I don't read an ulterior motive in the tone.

I’m not expecting to convince you of anything, but I definitely disagree. Andy was a prominent topic of discussion yesterday, and I made a firm read on him though it was based on weak evidence (e.g. a gut call from prior playing experience). I also made a firm read on Sci with reasoning to back it.

The case I made was a novel one, and is pretty much the same case you made against Mikuljin and myself. So, by that, you’re lightly flinging stuff as well. If I’m missing the difference, please explain (can’t figure out a way to word that where it’s an honest ask and doesn’t come off as defensive or sarcastic)

I guess we just differ on what we think constitutes a effort post

One of the basic goals of scum is to get town to attack each other, and then push that lynch while making you the fall guy. If you're town, who would you suspect doing this?

Yeah, I saw this too. I thought it was weird Humalong voted Kashuno after me when I made no case. Part of me thought I might be right and that's a scum buddy distancing thinking I might have would up to making a claim, but then I thought I was overthinking it.

I like this along with the point about his case on Jen. Combine that with that weird roleplay post and yeah, I can dig a KK vote.

For reference, I feel good about KK being scum. Slightly less so about Kash.

Also, for anyone on the fence about KK or not really seeing it, there's a strong case to be made for a D1 lunch that can clearly be attributed to one or a small number of players.

Often you end up with votes scattered around close to deadline and Townies shuffle around semi-randomly trying to figure out who there's enough support to lunch. That makes it very easy for Scum to get a Town lunch without taking direct responsibility for it.

I'm not going to say I'm 100% sure KK's Scum cause it's impossible to be 100% sure. But you've got me and merk here willing to take responsibility for this, plus probably DBD though I don't want to speak for him. Anyway, IMO any lunch where you can say clearly "here are the people who made that happen" is a good one from the perspective of information later in the game.

Also, KK will probably turn out to be Scum, so that's also a very good reason to lunch him.
