well rn its an absolute cluster fudge between me flower fuji, and melon dragged in it. i think all 4 of us here r town tbh

can u iso these ppl and tell me what u think in the meantime: odd, AL, krog, drago
I iso these 4 players you mentioned and odd is null. AL said you slipped and I don't know what the slip was that you did. The post I didn't like from AL was he said his take was Fuji is giving him exe vibes and then later he said nothing wrong with Fuji wanting to lynch Flower for no reason. This doesn't look like a town mindset to me since if he thinks that Fuji is exe who wants to lynch Flower then it shouldn't be okay for an exe to lynch their target. Some of Drago's arguments I like and in one of his posts it does look like he is solving. Drago is a town lean for me. krogo's posts are mainly fluff.

You keep falling back on the fact that my suspicion relies on just a handful of posts. But really, that's irrelevant. Because for any sem-experienced player, there are going to be posts that are not as congruent or sound as you would hope from town, because players are human (kinda), and there are going to be posts that are very good. And if you want me to consider the whole body of work then I'm pretty sure there would be more good than not. But that's not how scum hunting works. I'm not making a list of pros and cons, because there are going to be pros, and there are going to be cons. I'm looking at things that stick out to me, and focusing on that, because it's within the mistakes that scum are found. And in this case, your early posting by forcing a town read that I see no reason for town to force, and your subsequent defence of it, strike me as mistakes borne from you being scum. And can I just say, it's pretty rich of you to accuse me of "shading" your post. Over the course of our discourse, you've attempted to discredit my arguments, without actually doing the hard work of discrediting my arguments. You've pointed to this, you've pointed to that, but none of it has delved into the real meat and bones of the matter. And that, Usopp, is what I would call the defintion of the term "shading".
no ratchet this post is not indicative of anything but a comparison read i have over fuji this game vs last game, and in the post itself i mentioned that he could maybe change his playstle from last game, therefore my town read on him was very soft as the day started and required me to see more of his posts to solidify. stop trying to make it seem more than it actually is because if this is a mafia play, according to your standards, then the read wuda remained as it is: wishy washy at best. but, instead its now solidified into something tangible and a strong town read of fuji, which from your posts tell me that you have not read or skipped over. also u know that townies will have good and bad posts as well. the fact that such a post is in reality NAI and ur trying to dismiss that and make it seem as an inherently scummy post is weird. u cant tell me someone makes 99 townie posts and one post u consider scummy then u hang him for it. townies make more mistakes than scum, u cant just latch on their first mistake and ignore everything else they say. granted i dont even consider my post a mistake, i told u it was an early read that i solidified on and i dont see anything wrong with that. its a totally possible townie post to give slight town reads then build up on them. as for the shade, yea ur post was hella shade because of the timing. everyone at that time was questioning and voting me and i built up 6 or 7 votes, yet u randomly appear to quote one post and throw more fuel into that flame then leave. this is a type of shade as well, specially since around that time i wanted to leave and take a break.

i dont have to defend on anything, u arent making a case u r making an assumption ratchet
make a proper case then i will defend
Is this it? I've given arguments, I've given reasons, all of which are attackable if they're logically unsound. All scum hunting is founded on an assumption to some extent, it's a part of deductive reasoning after all. But what you haven't mentioned here is that I've acknowledged that the assumption here relies on you being scum, but I've gone through the deductive process because I've explained why it doesn't make much sense for your initial post to come from Town. By all means, if you can provide a reason for why a Townie would want to come up with a read that was, quite literally, "yes I think he's town, but maybe he could be scum too", then I'll happily concede provided I have no further objections to your reasoning. But you haven't done that. You've tried to downplay my arguments, to disregard them, and then attempted to throw suspicion my way all before you've made any effort to address what it is I'm saying.

I don't know where this misconception of me being lazy as town is coming from. I've been inactive, yes, but that's only due to circumstance, not out of laziness. I know I haven't played much games here so I don't have that big of a sample size to draw from, but in every single game I've played here, I played with effort. Town or scum. I was inactive for one game that being the Dragon Ball game from Fuji. And again, that was due to circumstance. I was online early D1 but disappeared because I had a track meet which took up the whole day. I return and I'm lynched. Circumstance, not laziness.

I've been mostly ignoring the suspicion on me, but this is one that's actually ticking me off. I will get defensive over it.
Tbh I completely missed this post/forgot about it. Drago, you would ignore other suspicion to answer a question about you being inactive as town to such an extent? Come on.

If Lanji didn't quote it, I seriously would have forgotten it.

We need a majority to lynch someone anyways, but we got about 6 hours so we got time.
I won't be here at EoD. I say for now my vote goes to Xlaw.

Vote Lynch Xlaw @Zem

I am on page 43 right now. My read on Usopp is town.
@Flower i dont see anywhere where that implies that i know ur alignment. im clearly saying its even better IF you were town and the whole sequence of posts was a joke. these posts are treated as one so i dont like u picking off the last one alone.

whats far worst is melon actually voting u replying to the joke



but then she unvoted right after and dipped
well 7 ppl have above 30 posts, how about u highlight those for starter
shud be enough posts to give a read on them
a town read on others surely should be easier than a forced scum read on me this early
Usopp's worst posts to me are these two where he deflected to someone else while responding to suspicion on him. Deflections are inherently suspicious and a bad thing to do. But I will refrain from suspecting Usopp just for this due to how commonly deflections are done by townies. It's naturally suspicious but not alignment indicative.

This post below from Usopp is very good.
it should be easier to give town reads as scum yes, BUT it should never be done. no sane scum helps town solve the game. it being easier verus it being done are 2 different things.
if i got shot by an SK or vig or got lynched and flipped scum then town can iso my posts and gain huge info off it
i wont give that kinda town reads as scum, im not dumb.

no im more interested in town reads early game to see if we share any. the idea is a scum would know whose town or not so if i ask a scum his town reads he might give me couple names that i agree with, further solidifying my pool, but if i ask a scum his scum reads he will just throw everything amess and give me random names or wacky reads to add more confusion.

i rather start by taking the town reads then pushing scum ones
I understand his logic in here perfectly and it makes a lot of sense. This leads me to my reason for town reading Usopp. He is town for his consistent townie progression. He has constantly defended himself and explained everything thrown at him logically in a way that would make sense for a townie to do. Case in point, Mel rescinded her scum read on Usopp after revising him, stating that he's been consistent. On the topic of Usopp throwing out town reads like candy. That's not suspicious for him to do. He's done it as town all the time and truth be told, never as scum. I know I said earlier that he can easily replicate that as scum, but fuck it, I'ma add it to the reasons for why he's town. The way he's playing the game bar for bar matches town Usopp.

Another reason why he's town is how he's defended himself. He was composed at the start, staying cool and collected, responding constructively to everyone who questioned him. He was not flustered. Then he slowly became more frustrating, specifically at Flower and Al as he believed they were coming at him with some bullshit. I agree with that(will explain below). Usopp's defense strikes me more as town defense than a scum defense.

Overall, the reasons to suspect Usopp, to be frank, suck. His "slips" are nonsense. I already explained why Flower's wasn't actually a slip. And really to me, Flower is just coming across as spiteful towards Usopp for him being happy about lynching a town Flower(which is a boost in her favor. Makes me town read her more, but it still wasn't a slip). Al's slip, I don't really understand. I get what Usopp was trying to say. If he, me, and Xlaw are scum but not together then logically, at least 2 of us are indies. What Usopp is saying is that none of us can be buddies together, ergo at least two of us have gotta be indies. That's the logic.

So yeah, Usopp is town. I would also like to really talk about somebody: Odd. That man is yikes all-around. I'll talk about him in a later post after I catch up.

the whole idea of town in day 1, or atleast in my understanding and playstyle, is to identify other townies and throw scum in PoE. when u say X player did this post "Y can be town, but they can be scum too" its something a townie can drop in the thread to give their initial read on player Y, and see how they react to it, then continue developing on that read as a way to build up a town pool. the only time, and i cant stress this enough to you, when that post is scummy is if the person that said it just leaves it as it is and doesnt build up on it. at that point yea, they r just feigning contribution and leaving a blank post in the thread that cant be tracked back to them because it doesnt really add any value. its posts like this that u cant look at alone ratched. u need to look at my entire posts as one context and see is it towny or not. do not just pick one or 2 and tell me this is towny, this isnt. u dont know what motive i have in mind unless u read the whole story. i am here moving the game forward and making interactions with players INCLUDING town reading players. i have made more than one post like the post i made about fuji maybe being town maybe not and i continue building on them as the game goes on. SO by that logic, the post is ONLY bad if its left alone and not continued, which is totally what isnt happening here

Yeah, cause it pissed me the fuck off. I feel insulted that anybody would suggest that I am lazy as town.

Once again, you've failed to actually address my point. It developing into a stronger read later isn't the issue here. The issue was your initial read was redundant and provided nothing. It was extremely awkward as early posts go. I see presenting information that basically adds nothing and tells us nothing, but acts like it does, as intrinsically scummy, not "NAI".

As for timing, I can't comment on that. You yourself have claimed I've only read three posts - if I'm that disengaged with the game then naturally the flow of the game is lost on me - you can't have it both ways. And finally, none of what you just said is "shade", is actually shade. I provided a pretty good example of it to you when describing how you've opted to read me in this game, the reason it is called "shade" is because it simply casts a poor light on what is being said without dismantling what is being said.

you arent typically this aggressive particularly early on
which was why i said you are overcompensating
but dont dial it back
its a soft read and I dont think anyone is particularly pushing a vote rn . little reason to get defensive over it


you changing how you are scum-hunting tbh currently so that you will look better will be even more damning actually.
Changing how I'm scum hunting? What are you talking about? Where did I say in that post about dialing it back? I just wanted to defend myself over the baseless accusations about me being lazy as town.
