y tho

Gut town based on the same micro I linked to you. I was reading him as town there too to my recollection and I feel like it's a similar game

Disagree with his reads but the push on Melody and Dunn seem genuine and not something scum Aldus would do. Like why is he drawing attention to himself.

I tend to think Day 1 is about not drawing attention to yourself as scum so you try to blend in and go with the flow of popular opinion, lurk your way through, or produce content fluffy enough not to get lynched but also useless enough not to give any info.

Oh hey cool I think you're town again

[Farkset]

y tho

Tell me why you scumread me, because i never understood your reasons yet i don't think you sound like scum here

-Farkran

[skitter30]

you feel ingenuine

[Datisi]

no, you just made me annoyed that i'm playing it

why is fark scum what did i miss

pedit: the first line was @pepper

ppedit: okay thanks

[Farkset]

you feel ingenuine

How?

[DoctorPepper]

^ you're not making me feel better about your slot Dats. I mean you asked for more activity and it's here

Do you realize the inconsistency?

All of your reads and votes do not follow this theory. I suggest you re-ISO your strongest reads in either direction

-Farkran

[skitter30]

you feel ingenuine

i don't know
the tacks that you're taking just feel very weird and coming at things from strange angles
and like you're trying to catch people in gotcha!'s that don't actually matter
and i can't track what you're thinking and why here

like dats at least most of their posting is stemming from 'i'm bored and i'm just hanging out in thread waiting for things to happen and i'll just push random things to see if it makes something happened'

i can't figure out how you're approaching this game

[Datisi]

^ you're not making me feel better about your slot Dats. I mean you asked for more activity and it's here

no i didn't

i asked for more activity from dead slots
skitter and farkset have been plenty active

^ no?

I get the feeling that you're discrediting me without outright calling me scum.

Like you're openly saying "you don't make sense" but you're saying I'm not scum. So am I like the game's VI?

[DoctorPepper]

no i didn't

I mean I was a dead slot, now that makes it more people you can try to engage with, right?

[brassherald]

I'm just straight up dead, IRL. Hardclaim corpse.

Good god, I always forget these big lists get me confused.

Who's being replaced?

[Datisi]

you were half-dead but your only contribution was a shitpush on me pretending to be productive so that nullified the success you've had in making skitter and farkset talk

pedit: @pepper

I mean if anything I initially scum read you because the early reads list was kind of pointless FMPOV especially because we were like 4 pages in. You're active now but I don't think your recent posting has made me comfortable of your slot, especially since you've done nothing but misrep me in our entire engagement.

If anything the only aberration in my reads is Alimdia but that's because I thought the push was bad and wasn't town driven

I suggest you metadive some of my games. All my completed games are listed in my wiki page. This is how i play, and you will notice i am a vote magnet especially during d1's. The same holds true in the one game we played together, but you were scum so it might have not stuck in your memory.

My approach to towngames, unless they are landslidically easy, is to spark interactions between people - sometimes with reaction tests, sometimes with gotcha moments. It usually brings good results. Advancing the gamestate is my main concern, i usually fight people who don't do that.

We had similar reads earlier about dunn and doncorleone, i can't get myself to realize why you would townread alduskel or scumread us or CSF. If you want further engagement, i can deliver any time.

Bruh.

That's rather an oversimplification at best and a misrep at worst.

[Datisi]

ok.

VI would be offensive in my vocabulary, but i do think you're wrong in the way you're approaching the game, yes. I don't get scum vibes from you. Your approach is not scummy, it's... inefficient. I mean, i don't disagree that there probably is at least one vocal scum in the group, but i find it counterproductive to look specifically for that one instead of looking in the pool with better odds - especially if you punish people that are trying to get people

out

from that pool and see their reaction.

As for the inconsistency, read again: "I tend to think Day 1 is about

not drawing attention to yourself as scum so you try to blend in and go with the flow of popular opinion, lurk your way through, or produce content fluffy enough not to get lynched but also useless enough not to give any info.

"

This is the opposite of what you've been looking for in this game with your votes. I suggest you re-ISO your reads.

[Farkset]

To be honest, that line is the very description of Melody, yet you're townvibing them and i don't understand why. I am not trying to discredit you - i'm trying to cooperate with people i think are town, but i get voted back instead.

I want CSF to reply to the votes cast against him, and i want to understand the reason behind those votes (this is generally speaking, not specifically talking to drpepper)

-Farkran

[brassherald]

I think CSF is being replaced. Do you want a response from him, or from the slot itself?
