Oh, really?
I also never "admitted" it. I simply agreed that my pressure vote wasn't going to have any pressure on Brendan because I presented it as a "placeholder" to use your words. And we were wrong. It had some pressure on Brendan.
Reading through his new posts gave me more confidence in his lynch. The "whole scum team" he figured out (Me, FB, Eggy) were all people who voted him. He gave no explanations as to why he scum-read any of these three, I'll assume it's because we voted him up.
Also, the fact that he tried to start a lynch-train on Eggy when he is town-read or at least lean-town-read for most of us (GF, Unknown, Gyrlander and Brendan are the only ones I've noted who were against Eggy) pinged suspicious to me. There's no way Eggy's being lynched today. What is he trying to accomplish? A mislynch on the mayor, a town PR? Probably. He's been throwing shade on Eggy since the very beginning of the day. I wouldn't be surprised to see him claim States attorney. Most of his posts were against Eggy, none were reasoned.
Then, Calix made Brendan realize that it made no sense for Brendan to cast his vote on Eggy. So, Brendan changed his vote on me, the train with the second most votes in an attempt not to get lynched himself today.
His defense was really shitty, too. He first blamed his lynch train on the fact that he's not in the sfm circlejerk (whatever the fuck that means). He then made a very rushed and unpolished read-list of everyone, with some of his reads contradicting his says and actions. For instance, he earlier said that Eggy and FB were scum-reads for him, but he didn't tag them as scum in his rushed list. Also, he voted the mayor, when he hadn't tagged him as scum. Moreover, as Calix asks him for his opinion, he talks about other video games which is completely off-topic. It doesn't make sense for someone who was sitting at L-1 to make off-topic posts. They should be worried of being lynched, not of the games they'll play tonight.
In addition, the list he made about the role slots was basically a copy of what Mesk did with a lot less depth and, again, with no explanations. This player seems to lack an opinion and just sheep others' opinions.
Lynch him.
Breaking news! The two main wagons are throwing shade on each other. Let's see what Calix has to say about this.
Your vote by itself did NOTHING to pressure Brendan. Don't try to take credit for that.
Your first valid point of the day stumbles in, half-naked, and flops on the couch.Reading through his new posts gave me more confidence in his lynch. The "whole scum team" he figured out (Me, FB, Eggy) were all people who voted him. He gave no explanations as to why he scum-read any of these three, I'll assume it's because we voted him up.
It's possible that he is trying to doubt-cast on a town-sided PR role and use paranoia to get an easy mislynch that way. It is also possible that he genuinely believes in this retarded host meta.Also, the fact that he tried to start a lynch-train on Eggy when he is town-read or at least lean-town-read for most of us (GF, Unknown, Gyrlander and Brendan are the only ones I've noted who were against Eggy) pinged suspicious to me.

What I find strange is that he took so long to cast a vote on you, his one scum-read. If he was scum and you were town, he would have been much more likely to have voted you sooner; it helps with his survival and he can easily get away with it.
Why scum would doggedly persist on trying to policy-lynch the Mayor when you were a more viable option eludes me. It's possible that both of you are scum and he was trying to divert the train onto Eggy but that is a pre-flip association. However, it is a possibility that would explain why Brendan's defense is so shitty; two of the scum are on the line. Also helps that you are making your strongest points against him - scum find it much easier to attack their team mates, after all.
This is just a theory, however. Can't determine its validity one way or the other.
Ah yes, yet another scummy player whose actions don't match up with their words.His defense was really shitty, too. He first blamed his lynch train on the fact that he's not in the sfm circlejerk (whatever the fuck that means). He then made a very rushed and unpolished read-list of everyone, with some of his reads contradicting his says and actions.

Sure, but wouldn't scum be more concerned with their own survival, generally speaking? Only explanation for scum!Brendan to shitpost like that is if he had given up entirely on evading a lynch.Moreover, as Calix asks him for his opinion, he talks about other video games which is completely off-topic. It doesn't make sense for someone who was sitting at L-1 to make off-topic posts. They should be worried of being lynched, not of the games they'll play tonight.
He's not doing a very good job at trying to lynch you. In fact, he's not trying at all, which makes me suspicious.
That moment when you realize you HAVE to make a reads list.
oops_ur_dead:
This is pretty much the only post that could give someone an opinion on oops_ur_dead (without Metah). He basically says he has nothing original to contribute to the conversation, and uses it as some sort of excuse to get away with participating in the discussion.
Then, not to mention that he votes Brendan for the worst reason, which was defending someone else. Not sure why this is suddenly a 'scum-tell' nor was it even explained further.
Finally, we arrive to where he discredits Firebringer saying he has a terrible argument. Almost the least town thing to say to defend yourself: "I don't like how Firebringer is scum-reading me, and i'm not even going to defend myself but everyone playing should just ignore anything else he says. I'm 50% sure of this!"
Not liking oops right now.
More Firebringer attacks. Fun.
Scum-reading this slot for low profile and their reasoning/throwing shade towards people accusing themself, without actually defending themself.
Gyrlander:
Starts off with the usual, stupid Gyrlander with a vote that has no relevance.
This post seriously makes no sense, it just seemed like he was waiting to pick on whoever called him out for it. Somebody explain how MY reaction was showing of me being corrupt?
He shifts to someone else once people are questioning his actions. This is really terrible, and another post that he doesn't explain it's significance.
Says a dumb obvious comment, ANYONE IF YOU'RE TOWN can counter one of those groups (except the Mayor). Nice work Gyrlander!
Calls people out for what he always does. Odd.
Votes me again for being a 'dick'. Seems highly aggressive towards me once again for no reason.
Once again, tries to implant it into everyones head that he is town. What the fuck are the point of these points? He's doing it A LOT more then he usually does. Also, somehow Calix tunneling is "fun" for him, which is another weird comment from him.
The slip Calix pointed out. He either
1.) Knew Brendan was town. OR
2.) He "assumes" Brendan will flip town for whatever reason.
Calls me out for nothing again, Damn Gyrlander is really hating on me this game. Is that scum-tell? Not sure yet.
This is what logic he uses to explain why he said "mislynch". The post he chose does NOT really describe why Brendan is not scum.
This is the quote that makes Brendan look town. Apparently.
Thats it for Gyrlander. Being his usual, clueless self and earning himself a scum-read for me based on his interactions, whatever that slip was and his terrible defense of why he said it.
When @Eggy answers my previous statements, I will look into him.
Eggy surviving = No town-read. Why?
I can somewhat see why he said these things, but going back to my previous post about him not saying enough, he needs more justification. GameFreak DEFINITELY wasn't the only one who jumped on the train. Also, being a hypocrite isn't a scum tell. Don't know why you see it that way though.
What? Because he wasn't AFRAID TO PUT A VOTE ON CALIX? All i need to do is vote Calix and I'd have a town-read? This is lazy logic at worst, but I will keep it civil right now as i've been pretty hostile in all of my analysis's. But seriously, Gyrlander would vote anyone regardless, so it's not a valid point.
He had logical opinions? How so? Laid back is a town tell? I don't follow this, I need more explanation.
Spruance is a Null-Scum lean For his lack of reasoning and trying to get too much pity in this game.
Spruance:
Spruance says, very little usefulness....
I've seen a few of these comments, and I find it completely pointless and moronic to say. How would she act if she wasn't town, Spruance? Apparently playing the way she always does = Trying too hard. Interesting.
The Lazy answer. Trying to avoid analysis by saying "I don't have enough, so if I DO say something it won't be very good". Seems to be looking for too much pity this game, after completing the last game with poor results.
Obvious comments 101 from Spruance. Stating the obvious is the only thing he's really done this game.
This is WAY too much pity needed. I don't like it.
I don't like this post. It's been made VERY obvious that scum don't often slip, it seems like he's changing his play because he's of a different allignment, no? I don't think he's ever played scum and this could be the first time, thus the change.
Says Eggy is top town, then says Eggy is second town. Not that it matters, but he made a lousy point in order to justify his town-read on Eggy. (See next post)
Weird that Gyrlander has made his SLIGHT TOWN list. I don't know what Gyrlander has done to seem town.
The entire scum list of this makes no sense. Never Unlucky seems like a sheeped opinion as of right now, but I can't find anything about why he reads people where he put them. Hopefully the reads list is followed by explanations soon.

Nah mate. You do not get to say "lol Brendan is a mislynch" and refuse to explain that read.
Good way to state the obvious by pointing out Unknown stating the obvious. You still haven't answered his points and if you don't do that, you will just confirm his accusations and get lynched tomorrow. Stop fucking around and answer them.
Why are you not voting for Never Unlucky? Do you town-read him?
Unknown's train is going nowhere. You are currently voting for a No-Lynch.
Thank you Anonymous Donor
Explain how he is a town-read in general for you then. In fact, work on a reads list and finish it before EOD please.
Contribution =/= town. "Can't really tell" - Piss off, explain your reasoning.
You're being anti-town by voting for a No Lynch and refusing to give us any solid reasoning for why Unknown is scum.
GameFreak:
Early post from GameFreak, but I do like what I see. It shows that he is actually trying to scum-hunt, whether or not it's really on the mayor doesn't matter. I agree with this post though.
I never saw an explanation on his Firebringer vote. I've had a slight suspicion from GameFreak about the sheeping votes, especially given he was commenting on other people sheeping votes.
I don't understand this logic though. Never Unlucky and Spruance don't play at all the same way, you're basically saying "If one of them is scum, they both are" which is stupid. Never Unlucky puts way more effort in, but Spruance on the other hand hardly tries (IMO).
He has been carrying this theory for way too long, and it doesn't even make sense to me.
Why is NU lower fruit than Spruance? That makes no sense from my perspective unless you're talking about games played which is irrelevant.
I like this post. It is countering Firebringers terrible argument and not actually sheeping other peoples thoughts.
He seems highly aggitated with Eggy, which is bizarre. I don't see why Eggy is scum, regardless of how he acts.
I wouldn't argue with Mesk though, it really get's nowhere.
One of the only reads list so far that has made sense from reading through this player. I will say, however, that it doesn't touch ANYTHING about Eggy, which has been his top priority and target for the longest time. I don't know if this is a mistake, but i'd rather hear what you have to say about Eggy.
GameFreak is a Null-Town lean for having explained his scum-reads and actually making useful points towards scum-hunting.
I will ask, however, @GameFreak where does Never Unlucky fit into this? You have him placed at scum but I didn't see much on him. Could you clarify this?
"What I find strange is that he took so long to cast a vote on you, his one scum-read. If he was scum and you were town, he would have been much more likely to have voted you sooner; it helps with his survival and he can easily get away with it. "
It's strange, yes. I believe the opposite to be true. If he was town, he'd have voted me sooner. Instead, he tried to lie low, waiting for the day to end to survive. Since that may not be an option anymore, he voted me to drive a mislynch on me and buy himself a day.
"Why scum would doggedly persist on trying to policy-lynch the Mayor when you were a more viable option eludes me. It's possible that both of you are scum and he was trying to divert the train onto Eggy but that is a pre-flip association."
It eludes you? Eggy's a PR. Obviously scum would want to get rid of him asap. And yes, that's exactly what he did. He diverted the train on Eggy and swapped his vote on me once you made him understand that Eggy wasn't gonna get lynched today.
"it is a possibility that would explain why Brendan's defense is so shitty; two of the scum are on the line."
What? I don't see how those two ideas relate. How could that be the reason that Brendan's defense is so shitty?
"Also helps that you are making your strongest points against him - scum find it much easier to attack their team mates"
Making my strongest points against Brendan makes me scum? Where is this coming from? If we were both scum, why would I start a train on Brendan?
"Sure, but wouldn't scum be more concerned with their own survival, generally speaking? Only explanation for scum!Brendan to shitpost like that is if he had given up entirely on evading a lynch."
That statement is universal for all factions. Town is as concerned as scum with their survival. Eggy (who I think is town)'s posts are a prime example of this. My explanation for the shitposting is that he tries to change subject. I do not think he gave up on evading a lynch because he voted me. He's still trying not to be lynched in a way.
"He's not doing a very good job at trying to lynch you. In fact, he's not trying at all, which makes me suspicious."
Me too. Also, the fact that he didn't bother replying seriously to my posts about him makes him even more suspicious to me.
"I wouldn't call it rushed, just low effort."
He admits not really trying.
Never Unlucky:
I don't think it's okay to take thoughts from others and call it acceptable. Why don't you just make your own argument, and having overlapping comments? That way, we can actually determine whether or not you have anything original to include.
A lot of setup talk from NU, which I find at times to really take away from a potential scum-hunting conversation.
Never Unlucky, you have a high amount of Scum-reads, can you try to narrow this down more before EOD?
Firebringer's scum-read seems based on him not agreeing with you. Why? You can scum-read more than one person, but you seem to expect everyone who scum-reads you to vote them. Seems like a dumb reason to scum-read anyone.
I agree with this Spruance post. Spruance has stated this game that he is going to try a new strategy, but has failed to hold his side. I don't like that he never contributes, and it's really awful to have to say that it's not AI of Spruance's play. I will say however that the "looking for pity" has really bothered me this game. It seems like an excuse to avoid giving reasoning, something that he does not do a lot of already.
Brendan feels like a guy who needs time to get settled in, and I don't support your idea of a policy lynch.
What is the difference between oops and Brendan? Too many people have been making this error IMO, and I don't like it.
This feels like you are trying to get in with everyone else who is town-reading her (for the most part). I don't remember your argument on her previously, other then a 'slip' you thought she made. Slips don't happen often. Also why are you telling her how she can get town-read by you? Don't know if this is just a dumb play or not but you basically tell the scum in your eyes what to do and what not to do.
Do you not have ANYTHING original to say about me? This seems like laziness at best.
GameFreak's read seems identical to Firebringer. Once again, people telling me you your actions don't match your tone shouldn't be AI, it seems more selfish of you to scum-read people who don't like you. Also, you interprete what GameFreak's post about what Kovath said, and yet you don't even question him about it? YOU'RE supposed to ask questions and scum-hunt, not point out things you don't like and then not follow through on it. Are pre-flip associations to you AI of someone being scum? If not, why does this matter how he reads you if he is using individual reads as well?
Not really a big fan of NU's analysis, felt it making no sense most of the time and I can't say I liked the posts.
Once again, you are telling Mesk that voting oops = scum. I wouldn't be Surprised AT ALL if you and oops were scum. That's how obvious it feels.
Scum-reading NU for his reads list and his hard defending of oops as well as scum-reading people who are calling him out on stuff they don't like. Seems like deflecting, which is something he used in his arguement on Kovath.
-vote Never Unlucky
Death, yet the Town.
~The Town Code
Going to respond to Gyrloser's post next because it truly is awful. For those of you who read the M-FM, think of it like Widowmaker's 'response' to my wallposts of him.
I'm going to leave this cancerous format in so you can see how the conversation progresses. My responses are in blue and white.
This makes no sense. How can he 'lie low' when he was the leading train? How the fuck did you conclude that?
He is also not 'driving' anything, lmao.
Scum also have this thing called a 'night kill'"Why scum would doggedly persist on trying to policy-lynch the Mayor when you were a more viable option eludes me. It's possible that both of you are scum and he was trying to divert the train onto Eggy but that is a pre-flip association."
It eludes you? Eggy's a PR. Obviously scum would want to get rid of him asap. And yes, that's exactly what he did. He diverted the train on Eggy and swapped his vote on me once you made him understand that Eggy wasn't gonna get lynched today.
It doesn't take a genius to figure out that the general lack of support for an Eggy vote throughout the day =/= viable lynch target.
Hypothetical theory time!"it is a possibility that would explain why Brendan's defense is so shitty; two of the scum are on the line."
What? I don't see how those two ideas relate. How could that be the reason that Brendan's defense is so shitty?
Assuming that the two of you are scum, he would be likely to respond by giving up as you two are the leading trains. Thus the scum team lose out either way because they will have one of their own lynched. Therefore, there is no point in defending yourself. Also possible that you might get town cred if he flips scum for 'pushing' him.
Again, this is assuming both of you are scum which is possible but not probable."Also helps that you are making your strongest points against him - scum find it much easier to attack their team mates"
Making my strongest points against Brendan makes me scum? Where is this coming from? If we were both scum, why would I start a train on Brendan?
Scum know who the scum are and thus are more attuned to any scum tells their partners make.
Placeholder vote on Brendan =/= 'starting' a train just because it was the first vote.
It's a really blatant and shitty diversion tactic that only served to draw more attention to him."Sure, but wouldn't scum be more concerned with their own survival, generally speaking? Only explanation for scum!Brendan to shitpost like that is if he had given up entirely on evading a lynch."
That statement is universal for all factions. Town is as concerned as scum with their survival. Eggy (who I think is town)'s posts are a prime example of this. My explanation for the shitposting is that he tries to change subject. I do not think he gave up on evading a lynch because he voted me. He's still trying not to be lynched in a way.
I had to prod him to vote you.
