Mini 1426 - Hell's Bottom

[Elyse]

What does town leaning scum even mean?

And how does "being rude" make someone scummy?

[jeromus]

Elyse is only posting to push the wag on or defend herself. Yup.

[Mr. Flay]

YOLO
Has been a really lurking player (actually only has 5 posts) and even asked someone else why they were lurking. Only one of his 5 posts were really that useful to look at, and it was just a catch-up post that didn't explain much about him.

I'm assuming your lack of Town/Scum/Null rating here was an oversight?

Liking the new Blue Yoshi (asumming he keeps it up).

If someone claims for absolutely no reason, I am going to question that claim. I'm actually rather surprised noone else commented on it.

What's to discuss about a VT claim on D1? What would you think that player was hiding? It's usually just someone being spastic, especially when unprovoked. I'm not trying to get you to discuss anything else about the roleclaim, but this seems like theory-based posting rather than actually having your head in this game.

I'm surprised about the lack of good stuff from Mr. Flay. When he replaced in, I was quite happy because I assumed we were going to see some amazing moves from him, with him being the site head and long time player and all. But his play so far has been very disappointing. He hasn't done much really.

*shrug* It's early still; my strength is in lategame once I have a lot to analyze. And really, length of time on site has very little to do with being a 'good' player. Not that I'm bad, just that I'm middle of the pack overall. My lynch accuracy is just slightly above random, in fact (which is better than a bad player, at least).

---

So, looked over jeromus' old games. His claim to be worried about quicklynches falls way flat in the face of something like a dozen completed games. Yes, like me you haven't played much in the last two years, but seriously? You know better than to spout that crap, especially after this:

I...Wow, alright, loving the quicklynch... Bring on Day 3.

Mini 1152 also seems to be much higher quality play, as is NG 926. One is scum, the other is as town, so I'm not playing confirmation-bias-billiards.
Also you seem to be wanting to deflect hardcore onto Elyse now that pressure is on you. VOTE: jeromus (that should be L-2).

[Elyse]

Elyse is only posting to push the wag on or defend herself. Yup.

Jeromus is only posting to deflect attention onto others, coach others, or tell others to post, all while taking no stances himself. Yup.

UNVOTE:
I'm sorry, but it was nice to meet another KH fan!
VOTE: Jeromus

[Keybladewielder]

Correction: L-1

[Mr. Flay]

Welcome back KBW. Is your access fixed? Have you read the thread?

[Keybladewielder]

Nope, still using iPod, but i did read back

[jeromus]

Well, at least now I don't have to be nervous about a ridiculous hammer from KBW, that's a plus.

Also, not while I'm at work pls, if I'm to die today, let me have a good ol' bigass post. No sense in hammering with this much time left and me yet to give my player-by-player.

[Desperado]

UNVOTE:
I apologize for my inactivity and downright bad play, but from here on out I'm going to do my best to improve that. And of course I'll be more active.
That said:

jeromus

:
As far of the way of reads go, he's done a little but not enough to make it look like he's contributing. Following that, he's made many snarky comments, avoided some questions, and hasn't really had the best play. He's even made a lot of posts with not very much content per. #180 does a good job of encapsulating his play to this point.

Leaning Scum

Mr. Flay

Has played good active play, finding things and trying to help the town a lot. The case Bub is putting on him is basically revolving around the first post that he made, where he said that he hasn't been playing for a while and might be bad. The way I see it it's a perfectly natural post to make, and he has been playing a good game since.

Leaning Town

qwints

Various lurky, short posts, though most have content. The fact that he hasn't made extravagant posts or anything with too much content makes it difficult to get a read on him. Though it could just be he's trying to soar under the radar.

Null

ArcAngel9

Has 6 posts, one of which (#44) is legitimate. It's not a bad post, but it could still use more.

Null-Lurker

Blue Yoshi

Hasn't been around much, and has made very sub-par posts. He thinks he's helping stir up activity, but with the current state of the thread, it's obvious he isn't trying very hard. Maybe he should suck it up and start trying harder.

Null-Lurker

Bomb

Was a productive player with good, content filled posts that were albeit short. He is now replacing out, but unless his replacement does something totally insane then he's one of those that is a pretty good slot.

Null-Town

Bub Bidderskins

A very attacking player who posts a lot of content. Though the style of play that he's using makes it seem like he's done this before, so I don't know whether it's because he's town or if it's just his all-around playstyle of why he's attacking like this. His first attack on Flay just seemed really vague. I'm thinking he's town, but I'm still wary.

Null-Townish

Keybladewielder

I...don't need to say anything about this one. Get an avatar plz.

Town-VI

Elyse

Has one of the higher postcounts with a below-average amount of content still. Acts a little bit rude which doesn't help. This is like a jeromus case, though not as severe.

Town-Leaning Scum

Rainbowdash

All the postcount of jeromus and Elyse, but with a lot of good content. Is a really helpful player and consistently shows good involvement in the game. Definitely the best player.

Town

YOLO

Has been a really lurking player (actually only has 5 posts) and even asked someone else why they were lurking. Only one of his 5 posts were really that useful to look at, and it was just a catch-up post that didn't explain much about him.

Desperado

Currently tunneling jeromus, but is doing it in a towny way. Is really involved in the game and deserves to be called town.

Leaning Town

I don't really like writing posts more than 8 lines because then I stop and do something else, which is why I started writing this post 8 hours ago.
I guess this doesn't speak well for the future. I barely even remember all that is in this post.

This post extremely uninteresting. Dubious categorizations pretty much everywhere (what specifically separates null qwints and null-lurker Yoshi? You even use the word lurker in qwints' blurb. Null-townish and town-leaning scum are equally vague). Only one straight up read, in the form of a love letter to rainbow. Are you suggesting that being the best player is a towntell? I think there are far better (and convincing) ways to establish someone as town.

In other words, I don't think there's really that much to cull from Yoshi's reads. I'm also not sure how accurate we can expect someone's player-by-player to be on D1, so I question the purpose of this post. As someone else said, activity is not a bunch of big, catch-all posts interspersed by inactivity, but constant and fruitful engagement in the town discussion. This does not qualify.

Human Destroyer replaces Bomb!

Claim.

Go go go.

Hi there. Your 'catchup' and reads are almost a week overdue. More contentless posts are not the answer.

[ArcAngel9]

Slow down Flay, I am jumping in today!!!

[qwints]

Going back to answer a question:

Yet you moved your vote a few posts later for something like 'content free posting'. Is this really such a big scumtell to you that you would contradict your earlier statement?

The game was stalling as basically nothing had been posted over an entire day. I'm glad to see it didn't prevent you from contributing.

Blue Yoshi, how can you do a gigantic read post like that and not come out with a vote?

[Keybladewielder]

Great, HD is here. Lay off me this time, k?

[Keybladewielder]

Sorry for DP,
but dear God someone post SOMETHING.

Doesn't anyone have anything to say or want to put the last nail in jeromus' coffin?

[Human Destroyer]

I'm going to approach this game differently than I usually do, since I'm a bit lacking on the time front.

Who should I be sheeping and why?

[Keybladewielder]

Sheep me, for fun.

[Human Destroyer]

Mmmm, not good enough.

Someone else try, with better reasoning.

[Keybladewielder]

Why don't you try shipping Elyse, she seems to be begging for someone to sheep her.
Let's hear your reads on everyone HD

[Human Destroyer]

I haven't read the game yet.

Still eagerly waiting for a good vote to have.
