flip side, new scum could see banter and try to engage to ease in early (although that would be based on the personality of said person) rounding it off with a heaping lob of a question.

splitting hairs
i think yours makes more sense though.

Hi!

VOTE: nacho

Nacho - I'm town. I hope you're town too. I've recently realized that maybe part of the reason it was difficult to get/feel good about reads on each other in forest fire was me feeling weird about the sorting process because and making the interaction stilted. Maybe. I think. Anyway, I'm going to try to be more open and less weird and hopefully that will make it easier to read and feel good about our reads. Please be town.

Implosion - in case you didn't see it in the sign ups, I'm so happy you joined this game. Please be town too.

I agree layla looks town but it's not for page 1; I mostly liked her questioning ffery's town read on her (25) and her lines of questioning after that.

fferyllt · Post Post #55 (ISO) » Thu Jul 16, 2015 7:34 am

she hasn't done anything (yet, anyway!) to make me question my initial impression.

also, I love this game's name!

i don't think it was just the question itself, i think my last post kind of clears that up?

How so? And how does that make you feel about Vinkah?

Vinkah · Post Post #59 (ISO) » Thu Jul 16, 2015 8:19 am

can you explain why you think my analysis of page one is a stretch but fferyllt's isn't? curious as to how you are parsing the two.

Gnomeo · Post Post #60 (ISO) » Thu Jul 16, 2015 8:46 am

Hi everybody!

I was going to announce a town read on Vinkah, but apparently he likes red gnomes. Leaning scum.

VOTE: Tammy

Your hope of your friends being town means you're probably scum manipulating them already.

it's essentially saying Layla is scum because scum might open in the way that she did. there's nothing in there that explains why, specifically, she wouldn't be likely to do the same thing as town. I didn't have any problem with her opening posts, either.

ffery, on the other hand, said "newb-scum are less likely to be spontaneous than newb-town". I don't agree that 20 by itself was town, but either way it laid out something she specifically thought was unlikely to come from scum.

walk me through this in more detail?

don't really think he's scum for it, just on the wrong track

it's fairly standard for Tammy to immediately reach out to people she knows/wants to work with at the start of the game. do you have any scum reads outside of her?

notscience · Post Post #64 (ISO) » Thu Jul 16, 2015 8:58 am

I'm rather hurt I didn't get a reachout

Tammy's not getting a damn christmas card this year.

Also is that actually a scumread? I read that as RVS.

I guess I'll wade through the inevitable 400 pages when i get back.

A preemptive excuse for doing nothing at all. Scummy.

I only made 3 posts.

it doesn't take a ton of posts to get the occasional snap-read.

Either I'm an idiot or I was FoS-ing a town-Fferyllt in another game for reads and posts like this. I wish I remembered.

Vinkah, was there a reason that you didn't poke at me for my layla-read reasoning when you said your read was opposite?

We've only played 2 games together, so it shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

I replaced into both games, and you replaced into one of them. I'm curious what the circumstances were. My approach when there's game-data is not much like my early-day 1 approach.

that's ok, we can form the first townbloc and exclude both of them!

I know it sounds weird but I'm not sure whether it was you or someone else. It happened about the time of that Newbie.

Only if we can include layla

I have a very slight town read on him right now. His point against you is null imo, but I can see where he's coming from and it looks like he's trying to start helpful conversation. I'm inclined to believe that scumVinkah wouldn't voice disagreement with another player's read in his first serious post of the game. This town read would be stronger if he hadn't been so easily swayed by ffery to change his mind;

This came ten posts after he said he disagreed with ffery.
