After rereading Naerys big read post, I have to say I completely disagree with Bobs read about it earlier and still lean town on Naerys.

Yeah I just have to say that what Greeting said about me possibly acting confused newbie town really is bizarre to me. The things he pointed to that I said were not alignment indicative in the slightest, so why not just say I could be newbie scum, why apply this extra layer onto my behavior of ‘he could be a competent scum pretending to be newbie’.
Also I’m just going to post my read list and then take a break, I’m being a bit OCD I realize.
I’m order of increasing scumminess with an asterisk indicating a possible failed read on my part, or to say that I think the player seems town but might just be scum playing a very good game (lord knows I’ve been wrong before):
Civil Scum- of course
STD- on meta
Starfire*- just a read
Bellaphant- for reasons previously stated
Naerys- on meta
Random Nurse*- obviously hasn’t given much to work with but was the first person to come back and take me off E-2. Gets plenty of points from me for that.
Iamveryhappy- tough to read but I liked that he made note that my asking about the mafia scum tag under my name seemed a little paranoid. I would argue WIFOM since as scum I wouldn’t draw attention to myself in this way, but I’m glad he mentioned it cause it seemed like an obvious question to be asking.
Hu Tao- really unsure about them so far but haven’t done anything particularly scummy.
Political Clout- I initially thought that his banter with Starfire seemed like genuine scum hunting, but personally I am able to go after others pretty hard and pretty convincingly when I’m scum, and I’m sure many people here can so I’m taking those towny points away.
KKFC- He seems pro town at times but I’m struggling to put much faith in some of his arguments thus far.
Bob- for reasons stated (see my ISO)
Greetings- for reasons stated
Bazuf- Bazuf top scum and due for a prod shortly if I’m not mistaken.
So, let me get this straight.
You are very sure that
Bazuf
is mafia because he is a low poster and that I am scum for defending him, even though I never even mentioned him in my posts?
I also don't see an asterisk near those reads, does that mean that you are absolutely certain of them?
Of course that doesn’t mean absolute certainty, only more confidence I would say.
I am not voting Bazuf because of lurking, that is just icing on the cake.
As for the game you linked i will take a look, although preliminarily I will say that I’ve seen newbie scum feign confusion plenty of times about reads and the way the game itself is playing out as a cover for their lack of conviction and being wish-washy etc, but when it came to me you cited things like asking about acronyms and I don’t see a connection between those behaviors.
I am voting Bazuf for the following, which you must have missed somehow (possibly by skimming rather than reading)

It’s not like anyone will hammer this early, so… why so serious?!

Mainly vibes? Starfire is relaxed, enjoyed.the humour, random's response to civil is more thought out than I think scum would bother.
Hmm… I don’t buy this…
If you had played before with Starfire and Random, I’d believe your vibes… This because, from your own experience, you’d might recognise some pattern in the way Starfire and Random are posting this early on D-1.
But right after this post you say you haven’t played with them, so these vibes… are really just vibes… or are TMI.
I think you might KNOW that they are indeed town.
UNVOTE:
VOTE: Bellaphant
Let’s get this game out of RVS.
I don’t know how Bazuf knows no one will hammer but whatever.
This case against Bellaphant is flimsy, and I feel Bazuf overstates it.
Bazuf says he would believe Bellaphants vibes (which Bellaphant had on post 34) if Bellaphant had played with either Random Nurse or Starfire before. Since Bellaphant hasn’t, Bazuf votes for him.
The most favorable reading of “believe your vibes” means ‘I would trust you are having genuine vibes’ and the me, finding it scummy that Bellaphant has gut feelings about players he hasn’t played with and finding it townie if he has gut feelings about players he has played with (on post 34 mind you) is the type of absolute nonsense logic that scums sometimes resort to in their effort to make shit up.
