Okay so I've started doing this really early game reads thing, because it gets excellent reactions. The reads themselves aren't random, just based off of very little, like small language tells. For example iamausername reacted adversely when I used it in
That 70s Smalltown (she was scum, I had a scumread on her as a result), and CES and DDDP have been subjected to it too, in [redacted]. I used it in some Open with glowball once, basing both of my reads off of confirmation enthusiasm -- and both of them were town as I predicted.
I've started to put a lot more stock in language tells, actually. They're right up there with VCA, in my eyes. In Box Office Mafia, they went a long way to finding chamber!scum (too bad nobody believed me).
So anyway I'll go pick out who I think scum are from that. I agree with the lewarcher vote, by the way.
