gogtrial34987: And then, look wider.
Micro questioned trent's read in #75 and #90.
Vitek was reminded of scum!trent in #76.
blotunga indicated strong dislike for trent's read in #81.
Blotunga then followed up with a remark about microfish in #84, which Lift spun out to an entire subthread via #85, #91, #100 and #113.
Joe questioned trent's read in #98.
dedo said he didn't like trent's read, but liked his explanations of the read in #134
So we have two players questioning trent on his read, two finding his read scummy to some degree, one who is ambivalent, and no one else saying much at all about it (I think; I might've missed someone else commenting; not pretending to be complete here).
How "pure" and solid do you feel each of those reactions to be if trent is town? What if trent is scum?
...
For the record, based on this "dynamic", do you find it likely that I could be scum without trent being so? Do you find it likely that trent could be scum without me being so?
I'll turn your question around at you. What about you? If you are town, do you think this read is coming from scum trent or town trent? If you were were scum, do you think that you have or could fool a town-trent enough to mislead him? I was going to question you about lift, but then you went ahead and said you couldn't read him accurately. Micro questioned trent's read in #75 and #90.

I know myself as being completely unable to accurately read Lift, though.
gogtrial34987: I think his observation has merit, yes, based on the way I haunted scene in #55, trying to look as townie as possible. The thing here was that I knew scene would flip scum, so all I had to do was to keep digging, certain in the knowledge that his slips were real. (Of course, I didn't set out with that intent, but scene's answers were such that I couldn't back off.) I don't think my behaviour in that particular setting transposes very well to a regular game, where I couldn't do any real scum-hunting, so I'm doubting the strength of trent's town-read - but it's been 2+ years, so I can certainly believe that he's been left with that impression about my play.
I didn't play 55, nor have I read it. Could you please summarize how you knew Scene was scum? Gut? Concrete knowledge or abstract knowledge based off of assumptions? No comment about your Stanley hotel game, as I don't recall many details.

GymHenson: 2. I pointed out how odd it was that NMillar dropped their vote on Catte, when there were only 2 votes on Catte at that time.
Musings for you and all other players: ALSO, oddly enough, NMillar then voted for me a bit later on.
Plus Catte never once responded about my vote on them.....make of that what you will, but to me it seems out of place.
have you voted for anyone yet? Do you think this is scum catte? nuetral catte? tired town catte? Do you think NMillar was odd enough to warrant a vote? Musings for you and all other players: ALSO, oddly enough, NMillar then voted for me a bit later on.
Plus Catte never once responded about my vote on them.....make of that what you will, but to me it seems out of place.
Your thoughts please on Trent Gogtrial & Joe?

I am voting Joe but think the concensus (no doubt with at least one scum helping the narrative, so i have to be cautious here) is we have enough people questioning gogtrial to actually achieve a non-last minute lunch, and so am willing to switch to him, if only to avoid the dreaded NL and the connected lack of information.

You did read my reasoning? no secret message, just ordering my thoughts in alphabetical order and bolding those point letters, plus the mental game to see if i could?

Lifthrasil: And I think I have stated several times that using FOS is a scummy move. Or at least it is a move that can easily be used by scum to fake activity and is unnecessary for Town.
I would, but I was also voting and if the player is voting, i see it as a "i'm voting X, but I'm giving notice that I'm taking a close hard look at Y". Which I was, or so I thought. +++
Microfish_1: it might be something you have done (you say, but I don't recall), but has gogtrial done so? I remember not at all.
my name is magike catte: My point was that I don't regard it as inherently scummy, however your question was pretty much my point. Does this seem un-gogtrially? nmillar: It's a reference to GH bread-crumbing his role a little bit too obviously on Day 1 in the previous game.
my name is magike catte: It goes back further than that! Breadloafing is the term we coined in the previous Uniwizard Tournament, when GH's friend GR was a cop and breadcrumbed his results so obviously on D2 that we (the scum) immediately knew he was a cop. I'm still a bit broken up about the fact I was outvoted about NKing him... (it didn't end well for us) Also, that was such a good game. Even a blind-as-a-bat town (me) could pick up on the breadloafing and play at follow-the-cop.
As I seem to be caught up, I'll drop this here.
I really don't care for people not voting after 5+ days of the game. They need to give us something to analyze.
