@Narwhal what do you think of Plus right now?

Other than Isis right now, Plus is the other person I'm leaning scum on right now. Admittedly, he has said that he tried playing differently because he often gets mislimmed, which is part of why I am looking at Isis and have my vote there. I have mislimmed Plus in the past as town, but some of his posts in this game give me a feel that he has thought about them more and have scum drive behind them.

i dislike this post. plus is a growing wagon here, while at the time pretty much nobody is looking into isis, and i think a post like this is like, a good foundation and/or springboard for jumping onto plus's wagon later while still seeming like they were ~doing things~ by ~having a vote elsewhere~

also my hot take is that plus is probably Just Town? if someone makes a(n actual) solid case i'll look into it, but like, his readslist for this stage of the game seems fine? (i swear i'm not saying this just because i'm on top of it lmao) and what i found interesting is that later on when asked to talk more about his read somewhere, he refused. this pings me as town since i think scum!plus would be trying to do what he's asked of and keep explaining his reads, as opposed to just being like "no"

[edit] i might have misunderstood 549 earlier when fast-skimming ahead, i thought it was just the second point. still think plus is town tho. [/edit]

so as i was reading, i opened noraa's iso, and i was kinda surprised to see 135 posts, then i realized i was mentally skipping over the vast majority of them because i'm having trouble there, and i'll probably proxy this read to george

That is a terrible way to think. I get frustrated/upset as town far more often AND I only get upset as scum when I'm getting tunneled or under pressure.

*snip* say no more. self meta is not valuable

i also feel like i should be able to say something about this pair of quotes but honestly i don't think i can in good faith say it's scummy

I also think Noraa seems more likely to happen so if nothing else it'll save my behind.

Hold up I missed this earlier.
People think this is towny?
Take a good look at this sentence.

reads like these are like... very bad. it's pushing the level-zero thinking of "hurr durr only scum wants to survive" which i really don't understand where that ~myth~ came from? especially as someone whose first goal is "don't get executed" regardless of the colour of my role PM, reads like these make me genuinely annoyed

and my further Hot Take that a blatant post like "i'm voting there to save myself" is more likely to come from town

I'd find Jewel Barons a little scummy for being sideliney if I ignored the PT thing, but I agree with Dunnstral about that being a strong push town and that matters more.

I don't understand what you're agreeing with me on

oh cool, so i wasn't blind when i couldn't find whatever 483 was referring to

It’s not badass to spam the thread. It is the be a man of few words, because those words get listened to.

Cobra Kai never dies.

You understand you could ask me questions if you want my thoughts instead of just voting in the hopes I feel even remotely pressured by you keep waving your finger at me for not playing how you want, correct?

Not sure on scumreads. Was planning to reread at some point. Nothing is standing out as overtly scummy- I don’t particularly understand why joyed or Noraa are the leading wagons presently. Feels TvT.

cobra kai is like, either cocky scum or town and i thiiiiink i'm leaning town?
i think this read would hold more water if he was a newer player, though i think i'm gonna hold onto it at least until there's elaboration on this part of 572

I rescind my earlier thoughts, I no longer think this is TvT.

If you look at +joyed’s iso noraa is the only scumread he won’t explain and he’s said multiple times why he can’t. This hyberbolic explanation shows Noraa cares more about eliminating him than trying to understand and read him.

He had explained scumreads on multiple others.

welp nevermind lmao
though i'm digging this read and still looking forward to a reread

BM is annoying me because he seems to still be scumreading taylor hard (who i'm currently leaning town on too), but also seems alergic to actually explaining/presenting that read
maybe i'm just throwing a fit at continuously being ignored when asking about it
who knows
also i'm leaning town on isis as well so that might be a factor too
time will tell

I’m really tempted to vote Noraa here but I’m not sure if it’s scum being intentionally obstinate or town.

i feel this on a spiritual level lmao

anyway. lemme skim some iso's.

i originally voted for canadian because posts like 10 and 18 were giving me a distinct gut-scummy vibe of "i am posting things to appear active and/or helpful while not actually doing anything" (which was a mistake i made in a scumgame semi-recently which stuck to me) and i wanted to see if that would continue. it did not. i've already said why i disliked 478. the read on isis is, in a vacuum, *fine*. the rest of it is like, meh. i wanna see what he brings out once he returns.

xof i still think could be the easy and correct answer for scum, but my other head is telling me they're low-hanging-fruit. i think i'm interested in their read on gamma though, seems like there's meta there.

i've already spoken a bit about jewels in 146/316 and like... norwee is giving me the same vibes he did when i was playing scum against him. like, the closest he has to a read is 394, which like. it's bad. granted, i don't know how to read gamma, but nothing he's done or posted so far is like, jumping out at me or saying ~town~, so.

my current hot take: VOTE: jewel barons

yeah egotisi lockscum

[xofelf]

Hi sorry, had a busy few days in LSGland, ran out of spoons for posts. First priority as soon as I get out of bed and to a computer.

explain why. Normally being this scummy isnt ur town play. In the newbie we were in together, u weren't this distant. I don't really think ur scum but I'd appreciate if you actually participated and inputted useful info instead of doing whatever ur doing rn.

[Noraa]

yeah egotisi lockscum

[Cobra Kai]

@Datisi- I’m experienced. I’m townreading you because I’ve seen you play scum, frankly.

Reread will hopefully come tonight or tomorrow. Depends when I get off work.

[Cobra Kai]

In case that came off of rude, sorry, it was unintentional. You seem much... peppier? There’s a noticeable difference tonally.

actually id say my normal town play is to be pretty scummy. im less engaged atm for 2 reasons. 1) irl has been really busy so havent had time to be my normal self. youll see that with me sitewide atm. 2) this game is gonna be heavy mech for a bit. thats boring for me so im not gonna participate much. i cant get through bunno posts about mech. too boring.

hectic?

[Tayl0r Swift]

oh some of that was not relevant to this game. uhhh pls disregard. see point 1 though.

[Cobra Kai]

I’m not playing guess the alt and am intentionally disguising my go to phrases.

ouch.

it's fine lmao, i'm (un)fortunately aware of my skills (or lack thereof)

[Noraa]

*sigh*
plus and isis have slinked off to ????

[Cobra Kai]

Plus is on v/la. Isis was literally here yesterday. People have lives that aren’t this game. Besides there are three people with more time away than them.

[Noraa]

who else has been away?

[Noraa]

the timing is hot considering they were so active before I started sussing

[MURDERCAT]

In the lower right is the activity overview

[Noraa]

So random, gamma/Norwee hydra, and the big hydra haven't posted in a while.
