prodding titus and skygazer

[Skygazer]

ah whoops

[Aisa]

What is this thing called a reed and where can I get one?

[Titus]

Hey y'all. Not used to having daystart on these things; I'm guessing the protocol's randlim.

VOTE: Aisa

Did you play Blood on the Clocktower?

[Titus]

Interesting; so it's more of a rxn-based meta?

My feeling is that Bella's lack of disclosure on the tr itself after being challenged reads as scum. Initial post could be an attempt on getting a foot in first with an easy read to present with towny appearance, coupled with the openness of Bella's #41 leaving ambiguity in the conversation from T3's #26.

Not a strong presentation per se but it's notable imo. Dannflor reads as town to me as of this vote. I'm mainly in agreement with shaddowez on Aisa, no comment on the others for now.

VOTE: Kurtapika

Gut

[Titus]

UNVOTE: Kurtapika

Im new to the game so struggling to get involved, but whilst weak my initial suspicions would be for T3.

I’ve found his posts to be the most defensive. Particularly 39.

I also don’t like 63. I don’t like that he answered for Asia, whilst saying not to answer for her. Asia has been prodding slightly at T3 and I’m conscious whether answering for her was almost doing her a favour to get her off his back. Almost a ‘look im on your side’.

This read could be completely off, but I’d be curious to know peoples thoughts.

I feel Kurtapika is awkward and distant.

Mainly vibes tbh, it's page one.

I can't argue with vibes but I'm a little surprised your vibe-o-meter picked up on that post and not the several other jokes on that page

[Titus]

Fear not, for the Scum Queen has arrived to save this tortured town

I dispute this claim.

[Titus]

You can be the princess to inherit when I retire.

[Black]

I think Kurtapika's posts feel a little awkward and maybe forced but that might have something to do with him not being used to day starts. It feels like he's trying to adjust to an unfamiliar situation

When I take my first loss as scum then I will consider relinquishing my title

[Bellaphant]

How many scum games have you had? My issue was about a year ago I hadn't rolled scum in a year and then got four In a row!

[Aisa]

One thing about Kurtapika's post is that as of this comment:

I'm mainly in agreement with shaddowez on Aisa, no comment on the others for now.

The only thing shaddowez had said about me was this:

Aisa

Why is T3's 15 bad vs no comment on Bella's 13?

And ehhh interesting that Kurtapika thought that was something worth voicing agreement with?

VOTE: Kurtapika
I don't completely dislike this wagon and I have nowhere better to put my vote, so

Why do think this is a scummy trait rather than a symptom of being new to the site?

[Aisa]

List of my most important thoughts so far:

- I have Projectry as a town lean so far
- JupiterXV also has that one very towny post, but my estimate of their towniness goes down if they have mafia experience from other places
- I kinda think Titus is a little towny so far? I've

definitely

not read her wrong before
- I don't think OutworldER is necessarily

evil

, but I disagree with the townreads they're gotten so far
- I think 118 might mean Bella and T3 are not scum together

[Black]

- I kinda think Titus is a little towny so far? I've definitely not read her wrong before
- I don't think OutworldER is necessarily evil, but I disagree with the townreads they're gotten so far

Can you elaborate on these two reads?

Titus: vibes. I have this theory that she sounds a bit more agenda-y and calculated as scum. In this game so far she seems to be mostly chilling.
OutworldER: all he's done so far is ask questions. Which is great! But I don't feel like it's enough to give someone a townread. I'd like to see how his reads evolve.

Kurtapika - In this post you had Dannflor as town. On what basis?

By post 60, Dannflor had offered nothing serious or substantial to give any indication either way.

You refer to ‘as of this vote’. I assume you were referring to Dannflor’s vote on Shaddowez in the previous post. However, Dannflor offered no comment or reasoning for that vote. Dannflor’s vote didn’t seem serious either as Shaddowez hadn’t contributed much by that point to give a read.

Why would you think Dannflor is town based off of his limited involved to that point or off of that vote?

Most of my townreads are just vibes so far. The questions don't really have a whole lot to do with where my reads lit atm because I'm mostly asking them as setup for later in the game to try and get an idea of how people approach reading the game and their general thought processes, and seeing if they contradict themselves. I know someone asked (I think it was shaddowez?) why I felt Jupiter's post was townie and it was just, they seemed invested in a way where they were spewing things off the top of their head, even if it wasn't super useful.

[OutWorldER]

the other actual reason I'm asking so many questions is because I watched a shitton of Columbo recently and am adamant to turn this game into my secret Columbo RP session.

[JupiterXV]

sorry got distracted with food. not sure why it took me an hour to make and consume ramen but it was fire so idc
i'll come back later lol

VOTE: dannflor

[Dannflor]

VOTE: t3

Why is T3 scum fypov?

I am voting T3 because aside from their initial light push on Bellaphant, there isn't much content in his 24 or so posts.

I feel that T3's primary motivation in this game thus far has been to get people to town read him rather than to find scum or even genuinely push the game forward.

• I dislike that T3 immediately undercuts the strength of his push on Bellaphant with 38 and calling it "weakly scummy" in 45.
  
• Aside from that one read, T3 hasn't put forth a single other stance or thought about the game in terms of people's alignments.
  
• Instead, his posts consist entirely of questions (that haven't gone anywhere yet) or explain-y self-defense posts.

For these reasons it feels like T3's start to the game has been more performative than not and I would think town!T3 would have outed some more reads by this point in the game with how clearly active he's been.
