So anyway, there are some things I like from the day shift...but there were mostly things I hate instead. I hate that around the #150 mark, BnB had 70 posts. (BnB hate shall be a theme). I didn't like Infinite Jesters and Sven early in the day, but the scumhate on those slots cooled off a bit. Jordan is another player who I didn't like in the day shift. On the flipside Zednek and Agar were players that I loved. Everyone else falls invisible or in the middle. Cheery and I want to talk about the players we disliked the most and why.
BnB really tops that list. There are 400 posts and that they have 100 of them is unacceptable. If you cut out 70 posts they'd look like a better slot (but not really). BnB spent way too much time jumping up and down going "hey guyz look how town we are! We are so town! Oh by the way we have a town role PM in our inbox! Have I mentioned that we are town lately?" It was really over the top and counterproductive. I'm not against players calling themselves obvious town, players do it, but it's just so over the top it's anti-town at best and scum-motivated at worst. Almost every post is about telling everyone that they are town rather than just being town, and that's the difference. Some players bought into the shtick so obviously it worked. We discussed how early on their posts fucked things up for other players. Ika drew early heat for his one post in the middle of the BnBshitposting because he promised content at a later time. Cheery didn't like it, and I countered that because of the volume shitposting that was going on it nullified anything that one post could have said about ika's alignment. The most recent posts that draw my ire, is BnB trying to butter up Zednek (in #394 specifically) going, "oh Zed I think you're an excellent player, and I can read you, trust us baby we're town" you know, that sort of thing. Overall we feel BnB's entire performance was NOT about finding scum, sorting players, or anything like that, but their performance was about trying to somehow "prove" they are town. It's scummy as fuck. We'd like to see this slot eat rope.
Jordan is another player we don't like. I mentioned above how Ika's one post was drowned out by the volume posting was going on...Jordan was like the opposite. He participated in thread, he accumulated a fair amount of posts, but a majority of those posts were to push off any sort of participation, or content, or anything for a later time. Some people may refer to it as "fluff" posting. I think it's an intentional scum tactic by Jordan. Push off posting content for the first shift, and then when the 11 of us who play at night start posting, he could get completely lost from the conversation. There was NOTHING to his posts. I feel like it was an intentional strategy to just "get through the day phase", rather than make use of it.
Those are the two players we're really high on being scum and lynching from that pool. A few other players have our attention, but none that we're ready to commit to being scum yet. Plus we still have our own shift (yay!). On that note I (Bone) will be absent for most of this shift, so these are mostly my thoughts, but Cheery and I are on the same page as to what I wrote here.
