aristeia goes from pushing one (hu tao) to the other (naerys) without much fanfare, which i think is indicative of genuinely just trying to figure them both out and isn’t exactly great optics for scum

If I’m right about hu tao and naerys being TvT i would expect scum to be either not engaging much with the conflict at all, or taking a much more static and/or one-sided approach to the 1v1

the thing about gera is he can put out substantially more content than this D1 as both alignments

however, i do think he’s more prone to leaning on his “d1 sux” schtick and talking about that schtick to subsidize his content as scum. i think he’s been a little over explainy about his actions instead of just owning them

In post 512, Psyche wrote: the page provides an entire system for classifying self-votes and explains in detail how each type of self vote could come from scum
or
from town.

then the only sentence from which it can be gleaned that anyone thinks self-voting is a scumtell is:
"While this practice is commonly seen as scum-indicative, no data has been compiled on the actual effectiveness of self-voting as a towntell or a scumtell."
this is arguably the most disapproving way that a writer could conceivably share that information without openly abandoning wikipedia's editorial guidelines

but someone clinging to the mafia wiki for dear life took the exact opposite message home?
it does not pass the smell test
i dont know this feels like a genre of case i would make as scum

like it’s so logical that it misses the illogical ideas that

1) the wiki link being posted was clearly just a cute rhetorical point

2) people dont actually read

If this becomes the majority consensus, I better start rereading this thread because I focused way too much of my energy on figuring out who I believed on the Hu vs Naerys drama just to realize I should’ve been paying more attention to psyche’s read on NAS or the 3 votes on gera that happened in quick succession.

1. No one has the full picture
2. Posts like these are half the reason i can’t seem to comfortably town read KJQ. I feel like she keeps reiterating that she is alienated and confused and struggling to make reads, but i also dont actually feel that anxiety in her posting. I don’t really know how else to explain it

I would love to have Titus’ opinion on things once they’re caught up. I feel l can’t factor Titus in anywhere until they post something with game substance.

Oh and like idk

What is stopping you just clicking psyche’s ISO or the post i just quoted and seeing what you think about it right now?

it feels performative to talk about all the work you gotta do or that you might have to do or that you should’ve done before because if you’re town and genuinely interested in solving, i don’t get why your energies aren’t just focused on doing the solving now

pedit: drew (titus’ predecessor) made posts! What do you think of those??

I've felt the need to be more forthcoming this game because there hasn't really been anyone who has done it for me this time. I can normally rely on someone like Enchant to do it for me, but no one has and there feels more players in this game I don't recognise (notascum, Aristeia, Political Clout and KayJayQueue) so had to fill the void.

I’m a very anxious person but also a very thorough writer and I express myself best when writing. I only feel alienated when people start referencing other games and meta reads on people’s behavior because it means nothing at all to me unless I just take everyone’s word for it. I suppose I also feel a bit out of the loop when I don’t understand the game terms being used but I feel too embarrassed to continually ask for clarification because I feel like I’m just annoying people at that point.

I won’t deny that I’m struggling to make reads on the people that are either: not engaging with me, or: not engaging at all. I’m probably playing overly-cautious (in my own way, some overly cautious people might just shut up, obviously that’s not me) but I’m just trying to be thorough.

I understand being anxious. Also, please feel free to ask questions and ask about game terms and also to change your mind and be uncertain. No one is going to get annoyed.

to be frank, my issue right now is that I can’t distinguish whether you are town too anxious about being wrong, or mafia using that as a front to look good
