drealmer7: this process will nitpick ... , some of it is baseless, ... , all of it is assuming the player to be Evil
Your analysis here effectively starts with a disclaimer saying that the entire thing is going to be biased and possibly empty. Not a good start, and definitely not a good way to run analysis as Town. If you start off by assuming the player in question is scum, and interpret everything in that light, then you're going to look (and act!) like a Paranoid Cop. Nobody trusts the reads of a Paranoid Cop, and for good reason.
drealmer7: trentonlf - <snipped for length>
-No role talk is a standard D1 line with Trent. He even gets flak for it in multiple games.
-Trent may have happened to be the first to respond to a4plz's role suggestion, but he was hardly the only one, and he was completely right in his response.
-Trent indicated that his thoughts on No Lynch can be affected by the amount of flip info available. He didn't say he was more in favor of it D1, and I didn't see any back pedaling from him about No Lynch. If Trent suddenly whips out "Lets No Lynch instead of finishing off that player", he's going to get looks. Lots and lots of looks. Probably not friendly looks, either.
-Town needs to know what flips are going to look like early, when the potential damage of a mislynch is both significantly less and more easily recovered from, than late, when a mislynch (or a lynch that turns out to yield no data) could create a Scum Win. If anyone that believes Town should confirm flip information early rather than later is Evil, then you need to advocate for eliminating me as Evil. You have no idea how close you came to being the first spectre, assuming HSL would have followed my lead.
-If you swing 10 times, and only get a hit once, the 9 misses create plenty of basis for saying you're often wrong. The shotgun approach lends itself to hitting a target, not to high accuracy.
-Requesting that someone refrain from posting a vote count format that the requester finds hard to read is not a scum tell (town or scum might do it). The different between your vote counts and most other's, is that most players giving an unofficial vote count tend to use a very basic format (and/or the mod's format) instead of trying to track all votes for the Day.
-Trent already stated his reason for finding you scummy: He considered continuous pushing/advocating for No Lynch on this game's Day 1 to be scummy. Post 417 (which you linked) outlines the results Trent expects to get from No Lynch.
You assumed Trent was scum, analyzed his posts in that light, and then voted him because he looks scummy. This isn't a good method to hunt scum, Drealmer; it runs straight into confirmation bias.
drealmer7: Wagons can still be read if no-lynch is achieved.
Yes and no. A wagon can still be analyzed, but it is much weaker, in part because you don't know whether people hopping on/off might be scum trying to save a buddy.
drealmer7: All of these games [Flub]'s been in, I get more and more the feeling that he's simply scared to put himself out there much and lurks in fear
If I were to assign an emotion to Flub's posting, "apathy" feels so much closer to the mark than "fear". "Unconcerned" is probably much more accurate, though. Flub keeps his eye on the prize, but he's not overly concerned about being wrong. I refer you to his absolute "Unzip Fly, Unpack Fly" Town Arsonist play.
