What in any of those posts is "effort"? It's

-a vote with no real explanation
-him backing off as soon as it's questioned by the very player he was supposedly scumreading, all while also placing his vote on a player that seems to be trying to push the game forward early
-a weak excuse of "not reading" to explain his bad vote
-and a one word "yes" answer to a simple question

So, what exactly makes this "effort" (I really struggle to call it that) town-oriented when it really seems so easy to fake and low effort overall?

Even more, why were they scumreading Andante on only the first 5 pages? They kinda ducked that question by claiming their read changed on the 6th.

well considering they have been in almost every game I have, I notice a stark difference,and I early lean town on it.

and I don't see why not? Like I'm not saying its a fire-tire panda team or anything just that I don't think Fire "shitposting" and calling for votes on himself is particularly pro-town.

of course, he and others will just wright it off as shitposting and say that scum wouldn't bring that much attention to themselves

but that's how I feel so eh
Calling me not pro town when I bring an open bar?
Rude.

Cain is mostly right no one should have read on me yet I haven’t even started my grand solving try hardness yet

@CSF I mean, it’s not a TR I’d die for, just an early gut read I had, consider it a town lean vs lock town read, and I liked the overall energy coming into the game, felt like Fire wasn’t afraid to post/afraid of appearance, was just having fun, breaking the ice, making it super easy for people to make an entrance. That kind of stuff I generally view as townier rather than as scum behaviors

In post 140, Andante wrote:I didn't take Fire's post as buddying you, so this feels odd.. like, is Fire your scum partner and you feel like he's being caught, so now you feel the need to go "but as scum would he buddy me?" Fire is fire... does random stuff as both town and scum, of all the things said thus far, this stands out the most to me, like, it feels like you are genuinely defending fire here, but there's almost nothing game related to defend off of.
This raises further questions on why u townread me!!!

I don't think I really said that maybe in a way I did.

magic is town reading u though.
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

This is a possibility, but I also haven't see you rooting around for scumreads as scum yet. Haven't seen any of your scum games though I'll admit.

Could you link me to a scumgame or two of yours?

The tone dissonance, yeah first post sounds like hell is messing around with /annoyed sarcasm then the next post sounds not all aligned with that. Especially with previous ones. It’s big mood shifts

In post 94, Tejate Raichu wrote:I shifted to serious because I was under the assumption that it wasn't RVS. I don't think this sudden switch is actually all that out of character with my meta offsite or on, but you can check over my early ISO of my previous game (Open 842) if you don't believe me. I actually don't think it's even particularly uncommon from my experiences off-site, so I find it interesting that it's pointed out here. Even in this very thread, basically everyone who got here early was goofing around, so I'm not sure that that's just me being unfamiliar with site meta.

88 was pretty much exactly what it said on the tin, I'm fairly confident I've made that exact mistake once or twice. 90 was me being a little confused at the re-vote, I was kind of hoping he'd come back with some reasoning if he was gonna vote me again but if it's still RV then I guess there's no real reason for me to prod at it much further.

And yes, I'm pretty much free for the next couple of hours.
Every single run is different.

Just because Libra and Soymilk worked in one run, doesn't mean it works in every run.
