how is that a reason to not vote him out
Thanks second half of post
I.e. I saw nothing that outweighed the fact that it was a 30-minute-to-EoD flashwagon
okay Light
you’re probably going to think this is a dumb request
and I promise this isn’t some sort of trap where I’m like ‘this is LAMIST! you are lockscum!’
but could you, like, towncase yourself
like explain why you are town/why I should believe that you’re town
No, I can’t, because I have four minutes left on my break and a sundae to eat
I’ll be back in about 2 and a half hours and will do my best to explain my thought process behind my posts
okay
thank you
it would be cool if people who are not Light could also give their thoughts

like regardless of your alignment you’re always going to say ‘no, your case is wrong, this is why I did what I did,’ right
whereas other people can be like ‘no, Arete, this read is completely illogical and you’re bad’ or ‘wow, that makes a lot of sense, I’m going to vote Light’
I mean realistically probably what people are going to say is ‘this case makes sense but I still think you’re a wolf because tOwN cAn’T bE wRoNg and therefore this makes Light town’ and then self-congratulatory pat themselves on the back, and then proceed in postgame to act like they had absolutely zero responsibility for the resulting loss because they refused to actually make a proper attempt at reading me and instead just pretended I’m some sort of mysterious enigma that can only be read on the metric ‘were they wrong about the alignments of two players’
You think it’s Arete then,
Then?*
he blatantly TMI’d Helen as scum, like, he basically deathtunnelled her to an extent not really fitting with the strength of the logic behind it and then spent the rest of the game being like ‘well I pushed Helen so I can’t be scum.’ this has been pretty consistent across his wolf games.
others were scumreading Helen that game and there was nothing I could do, as Helen wasn’t even defending themselves
his reads that game … lacked nuance? I’m not really sure how to explain it, but they weren’t very “sophisticated” in reasoning, it was basically like ‘this person is solving so they are town’.
Let’s face it, most people are not the solviest on this site and thus them being solvey = towny with a fe exceptions.f
he was really worried about appearances, and specifically about appearing consistent. example of what I mean:
No worse than usual
TL;DR
I don’t trust people just townreading me all the time and the purpose for this is I don’t like bs trs on me. I have been pocketed far too many times and I don’t get obvious town vibes from you like I have in the past when you have had bad reads (like RM4)
it’s not a BS TR because my reasons are actually good
you’re just convinced that you’re a better wolf than you are, which makes you perceive the reasons as worse than they are
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Like I have caught people for having bad reads on me, even if it was a townread
I TR you because you don’t make sense as scum.
That sums it up!
Gorta
I think you are probably town, and I’m going to speak to you in this post as if you’re a villager. if you’re a wolf feel free to, like, make fun of me in scumchat for doing this or whatever.
You are incredibly confbiased right now. You have openly acknowledged your tendency to do this – like, you specifically talked after WYM about how you were going to try not to do it anymore, you did it in JoaT9 with me.
right now you have a read, and rather than actually thinking about whether your read makes sense, you’re thinking about how you can fit the existing evidence into the read. Like, if I’d written a giant wallpost coming to the conclusion that you were scum, you would probably have said something like ‘you are a wolf because you’re pushing on LHF to try to get me exe’d,’ you’re not seriously evaluating my alignment.
if you are a villager this game, you need to take a step back, and actually think about whether literally any of your reads make sense
because as point of fact, you did not make it to day 4 of this game by having good ones
I think I am better as a wolf than you think I am and I feel like you are downplaying my wolf game to bs a TR on me. Like I need some refinement, which wouldn’t be an issue if I didn’t rand town every game, but I can imitate my town meta as a wolf pretty well
Maybe me and Light are both scum and bambozzling you all.
No, I would have done stuff differently if that was the case.
it’s not a BS TR because my reasons are actually good

InB4 I get Lock Towned by you next game and I roll Scum
