Someone asked me why Marquis' entrance townpinged me so now is a good time for me to try and figure that out.
In post 127, Marquis wrote:hi VOTE: the worst

In post 129, Marquis wrote:actually VOTE: gypyx l-1
In post 381, Marquis wrote:I should have posted this yesterday but
V/LA until Thurs
This just seems like a very "I don't care how anyone reads me" entrance. I'd expect scum would think strategically about whom to vote so probably wouldn't come in and vote and then instantly change it, and particularly opening with an invitation to a reaction test like that (I really don't think Marquis believed they were putting Gypyx at L-1) seems like they're more interested in seeing what
other
people do and not so much interested in giving a particular impression themselves. I'd also expect scum not to come in on page 5 with an explicit announcement that they're not going to play right now, when Things are already happening in the game.

i find it pretty hard to believe that their impression of the game went from "neutral ergo rvs voting tw" to "zzz this is boring" in 45 seconds.
i find it pretty hard that the gypyx vote was for literally any clean-conscious reason.
the entire intro feels like it's constructed to be read a particular way.

It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die. You don't know whose children are going to scream and burn. How many hearts will be broken. How many lives shattered. How much blood will spill, until everybody does what they're always going to have to do from the very beginning... SIT DOWN AND TALK!

contrary to popular belief, things aren't happening. this is quite possibly the lowest content 25+ page game i've been in.

it's been largely pointless waffling, people jostling for allies, and empty threats that don't carry the risk of execution.

lets actually put someone to L-1 and see what happens.

marquis will do.

That's funny because after reading the worst's reply I'm not sure I'm with myself on this one.

Bold of you to describe that reply as a "conclusion"

I think it's pretty townie! I a really non caring nature and just putting someone to L-1 like that is something I don't expect a wolf to do unless they're pretty confident in their own wolf play.

Work is finally calming down so I can happily put more attention to this game. I have townreads on The worst/Marquis/Hoopa/word/Grumpy and I'm not liking Green/Doctor. I wanna get my feet in this game, if you have any questions about some of these reads hit me up!

So you think wolf them just comes into the thread and makes up some persona and fakes an L-1? Hm, it's certainly something they could do, but I don't think the chance of it being a thing is something we can really base a day 1 execute off of.

what's got you scumreading graycray?
i think ddl is pretty Polarising so i'm less excited about that; maybe later

pedit: sure, that's fine. i am still happy to vanitywagon players over stuff that reads highly disingenuous to me, and i am enjoying the wagon on them a whole lot!

I posted my main reasoning a bit ago. The read does deserve a bit of a relook though given Green has posted more content since then, I'll take a look.

It's uh, not as much as I was expecting and I still don't think Green's vote progression makes any sense to me. Doesn't really feel real still.
