Someone asked me why Marquis' entrance townpinged me so now is a good time for me to try and figure that out.
In post 128, Marquis wrote:zzzz this already looks boring ill deal with things laterThis 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
otherpeople 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.“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay. Well, then there’s me.” — J.R. “Bob” Dobbs-

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.marquis, Post #129 (ISO) » Tue Sep 01, 2020 2:21:23 am wrote:actually VOTE: gypyx l-1
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.-

contrary to popular belief, things aren't happening. this is quite possibly the lowest content 25+ page game i've been in.In post 702, Umlaut wrote: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.
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.-

how, from 2 random questions without prior context, and no other kind of input on the thread arrived at that conclusion?In post 706, Umlaut wrote:

That's funny because after reading the worst's reply I'm not sure I'm with myself on this one.In post 708, word321 wrote:Im actually with umlaut on this one regarding marquis“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

Being overconfident is not cool, kidsIt'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.

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.In post 704, the worst wrote:(pardon fucked up timezones)

i like, specifically very strongly felt those posts were engineered to look nonchalant/towny rather than actually *being* nonchalant/townie-

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.In post 719, the worst wrote:i like, specifically very strongly felt those posts were engineered to look nonchalant/towny rather than actually *being* nonchalant/townie-

ooh ooh you like posting words and have a hot take!
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.In post 722, the worst wrote:what's got you scumreading graycray?-

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.In post 723, Clover Ebi wrote:
