I get this and it’s like that sometimes, but I don’t see it that way on Scorp.In post 1616, Crescent wrote:For the record I don't town read Scorpious at all
I read him as so scummy I question whether or not scum would allow themselves to look as consistently bad as he has.
I havent had the "too scummy to be scum" paranoia in *years*.
That might’ve been me. It’s not really what he hasn’t done and why he’s not here, but what he has done when he is here. I know people see it as he is not doing anything or promising to do things that he doesn’t do. To me it’s kinda unfair for people to always say this about him because who are you or others to say what constitutes as substance? It’s all subjective. Imo he’s done more than a lot of the players.In post 1616, Crescent wrote:Regardless, someone decided to townclear Ger earlier for doing basically nothing but rehashing what we already know and treating it like content. I don't remember who did that offhand, but it's not like it really added anything. It was more fluff disguised as substance. Lots of Ger posts have been fluff disguised as substance or simply promising to give more.
Could he be scum? Sure he can and it’d be best for us to keep that option an open possibility for later in the game, but for now I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt. I can certainly towncase him if you want me to.
I can try to towncase Scorp as well if you want me to.In post 1616, Crescent wrote:I actually question how anyone could actually have a strong townread on Scorp though based on his play.
Another thing, for meta purposes I have 3 games with Scorp, well more like 2.5 games. In one game he replaced into a scumslot that had already been part of the game solve on the last day before endgame, so I won’t count that one although I won’t totally throw it away because there was still something there to glean from him being scum.
The other two games was scum!Scorp and town!Scorp. In the town game he was a lot more frustrated and emotional (not in a bad way) but in a townie way. I pegged him as town after scumreading him for a time and ended up trying to get town to move off him. He ended up being the Day 1 miselim.
As scum he does claim roles but overall his tone is less frustrated and more semi-arrogant and snark; at times condescending. Now it’s fine line there because he does have that as town, but there’s an ever so slight difference that I pick up on because I’m a tone reader. I’ll try to find examples tomorrow if I can.
