Honestly this game really hinges on whether we get an early scum flip or not so we can understand the mechanics of the unknown faction because I feel like scum abilities in this will be much stronger late game.
I don’t like how half of this read is based on pre-flip associations with other players.
Pity I’m null, but can’t contribute now.
Guys, i’ve had a revelation.
this post made by arete as scum in LOTRFM
this post made by arete in this game.
Defend yourself arete
Or maybe I am undervalued but also onto something simultaneously
Don’t even do that. I would in fact claim that I would be more confident as scum. Scum is more fun to play as and the excitement would make me more confident.
We seem to disagree a lot in this game though. I don’t hold the same beliefs about how to play that you do.
It worked for me as Priest 
if I were to make random scum reads without taking association into account you would criticize me for my reads not making sense. You did ask who would be on your scum team. I am trying to gamesolve
Let’s face it, both Arete and Marshal are scum and attempting shenanigans with one another
Honestly thought it would be like an identical post between games wanting me to make Arete eat the rope even more but you did this to me.

Squid: still null
Frost: still null
Magnus: scumlean, unlike the other lowposters he has a pretty clear town meta in most town games that he’s not following here
Cheeki: still null
Jgoes: Generic scumlean like everyone else has. His reads are all super hedgy:
To paraphrase something Alice said over in the Paint game when she was explaining how to distinguish between town wallposts and scum wallposts, when townies who are unsure of their read on someone else try to interact with them to figure out what’s going on there, and/or try to solve other slots (obviously that doesn’t mean they can’t nullread someone with three posts or whatever, but Geyde is definitely not in that category). Here Jgoes instead nullreads them and leaves it.
This:
Is basically the only post in his Iso that’s both a read and not hedgy.
Overall Jgoes is a moderate scumlean here.

Also why is it a problem to do reads based on associations? If one person from that group is lynched and they are town then the train of that theory ends. If you are town you shouldn’t have a problem with it because it’s not even something that could involve setting up future mislynches
It’s not that you can’t use associations ever but when you’re contorting yourself into a read that’s only justified if you go based on pre-flip associations with like three different people, that’s kind of weird.
Generally wolves use it to set up mislynches on people when the person they associate with inevitably flips town because of their TMI.

Okay my theory is that if Arete is scum, one of Jgo or Magnus is also scum because they didn’t respond to my question earlier and they stalled to wait for permission to sus out their own scum mate. In this case I believe J would be the scum by association if this is a non conversion game
