Dragon Fact #5:

Dragons have for centuries been depicted as a symbol of greed for their supposed compulsion to amass large amounts of gold. This tale of common wisdom may not be further from the truth: they actually prefer silver.

Anyways here's a recap about what i think of everyone, not sure that's too useful but whatever

Spoiler: ooo

Upwards

Classic newbie slot, i feel like they're still quite likely to be scum? Obviously their reasoning is always gonna be somewhat rough, but there's an air of it being fabricated? Him stating his entry paragraph was motivated by worrying of being unoriginal makes me think it leans scum for instance

I think you misunderstood me. I wasn’t really worrying, it was more me being excited to finally start. Hypothetically speaking, which upside would I have as Scum to open like this? To put anything out there right away that people might feel strange about? None that would come to my mind at least.

While i get the excitement, i feel that as town you would be less focused on if what you wished to say would come out good as since you're town, it should naturally be towny

Yes! Exactly my thinking, it shouldn’t come across this suspicious to you and yet I’ve been told otherwise which strikes me as strange. Will try to make my mind up about this situation when I have more time later today, as well as hopefully getting to write something about most players in this.

Somewhat of a gut read but i've been really thinking it is town, i guess depending on how that towblock stuff goes i'll reevaluate or lock it as town?

Can you expand on this or is it pure gut? I looked at D1 in some past town games of hers and this game feels different.

i honestly don't really care about what more you can give as an explaination at this point tbh, just focus on other stuff

E: fixed formatting. For reference, the original post was thusly:

by zeus this can't be happening

[DragonEater70]

Hm

I'll try to fix these posts in a moment

[Gypyx]

No keep them as is it's funny

Gotta say, it's my first time playing in a while, my meta isn't as fresh as it could be and i'm generally not too fond of these kind of reads !

To expand on it, some comments like 179 or 114 Make me read her as like, more laid back that usual, but eager to help with anything constructive?

But yeah i gotta admit in a vaccum the ISO is not stellar, i wouldn't shut down any somewhat constructed argument against her

You do realize I stated my approach to this game was a bit special, right?

[Claptastik]

Yes, and I find that approach - declaring a 4-person townblock in post 44 - to be highly suspicious.

Town blocks are great when they form organically, over time. I don't see town motivation for your approach. Seems more likely to be scum buddying.

[Gamma Emerald]

When did you read those past games?

[Gamma Emerald]

And which games did you read, as well?

[Claptastik]

When did you read those past games?

A little while before I posted about them.

And which games did you read, as well?

I didn't write down the numbers. I just went down through your topics looking at completed games. Unfortunately I didn't get to a scum game. From what I saw you're usually more aggressive and inquisitive than you're being here.

[Gamma Emerald]

:/

[Gypyx]

Hot take but people should be allowed to switch up their playstyle

it especially gets less worth as a meta read here cause Gamma is making a conscious effort to switch up how she plays rather than failing to reproduce her town meta

[lucca261]

It sounds to me like lucca got some backlash from gypyx for what was legitimately an odd post #71 and then immediately backpedaled it. If it's really an RVS vote then who cares. That's what the R means. Then lucca pegged you as town in #78. You get more friends by calling people town, especially early on. If you put this sequence of events together, the problem is evident.

ehh I wasn't really concerned by the reaction to my RVS vote, even if gypyx thought it was weird

but looking at this from your perspective:
you got backlash (from FD on @143) from posting nothing today, came back and posted only about a guy who was inactive and not likely to defend himself?

seems like you are more concerned than me to make friends and not provoke anyone (which I truly believe is NAI, people hate being scumread, just ironic)

What's your read on lucca?

Super town and frankly kinda cool in general. Yours?

[Claptastik]

They are allowed. And other people are allowed to question such switches.

it especially gets less worth as a meta read here cause Gamma is making a conscious effort to switch up how she plays rather than failing to reproduce her town meta

Maybe she's making that conscious effort

because

she has difficulty reproducing her town meta as scum.

[Claptastik]

Scum lean.

[lucca261]

I'm on that weird path where I kinda think my only scumread so far is Upwards for

@91

.

Not to play armchair psychologist, but I think a guy who read a 100-person game on this website (and probably read several wallposts on the way) would feel a little more paranoid on his first post.

Too non-commital, too agreeable. This paragraph in particular:

So I guess I will just start talking about things I find notable reading the previous conversations. Please let me know if you think anything about the points I am making or if I am mistaken in some way.

I mean, this looks a lot like newbscum to me.

Why exactly should I be paranoid, and of what? Don’t really get your point here.

The thing is: if you are town here, it's very likely that scum will try to use your status as a new player to advance their game. Not in a "I'm evil, kill all the newbies" way, but maybe by buddying you, maybe by trying to use you as elimbait, stuff like this.

Being so open on your opening post, even asking people to correct you? I see newb!town would be a little more wary, especially on a game like this with several very experienced players.

Keep in mind this is a early D1 read, so it's not final or decisive in any way. But it's something that pinged me early game.

[lucca261]

btw @Upwards what do you think of the players so far?

any scumleans, any townleans

You mean like you're doing now?
