Not something I can quickly pull together in jam timing.
But the basics behind Aeronaut as scum come from an early iso which felt awkward. In his RVS posting on the first page, we got things like
5,
9,
10, and
12. None of these felt sincere. They felt forced. When Aeronaut came to my entrance, his stance was basically to defend Nacho without actually defending Nacho, trying to have the best of both worlds. He tried to place peacekeeper without actually playing the part of a peacekeeper. He then focused on
31 by drealmerz, one of drealmerz's towniest posts, and used it for a justification.
All of these immediately gave bad vibes.
155 where he asks for reasoning is something which felt faked especially since he knows he's engaging mastina of all people and that asking for reasons is not something he's likely to get a productive answer out of: it's content to look good that doesn't actually serve a purpose. In
164, he again tries to get the best of both worlds where he takes SirCakez's side, while not taking his side.
188 was basically a scumclaim, because it was keeping a stagnant read/vote past its expiration date: "Well, there's nothing really
wrong
with dreal past his entrance, but I'm not going to move my vote to a more productive place".
265 had the blatant misrep of me when my position was rather clear, and Aeronaut continuing to focus so much attention onto "Pine didn't pick this way" felt like something he shouldn't need to say if he were town. It's pseudocontent.
276 has in it the problem: Aeronaut says that it's common sense, that the whole game thinks it...so why the fuck does he feel the need to say it? This was my problem that I pointed out, the riddle of the ages. Aeronaut insisted that it was something everyone would know. Aeronaut insisted that it's something so obvious that it needed no explanation. But if it needed no explanation, why did he bother to give one? It's a rather egregious case of giving content which isn't actually content. Something that looks good, but isn't actually good.
This was more or less the basis of my original Aeronaut scumread. There's more content than that, but I'd prefer you and Nacho take on this much.
