@acryon, 170 feels like attempting to show that you’re giving content and then filling in the spaces with insubstantial.... stuff. Even the content parts are insubstantial, like there’s no attempt to gather more info for reads. Re: The part with GL you don’t even seem to be pushing GL more, which I would expect if you were town. The rest of it seems like posting just to look like you’re doing stuff.
I'm not one to rush a game. One because I think you make more mistakes, and two because my time is limited so I prefer to build a case over time than try to go full-bore early Day 1.

My main question is:
how do you feel about nom? She seems to be scumreading you for similar reasons to GL, but why haven’t you addressed that and are focusing on GL’s vote? What is your nom read? Secondarily, why have you not pushed GL further? Or for that matter, skitter?
Nom is likely town. She was pinged by that one post from me, which I can completely see coming from town. As I mentioned before, being wrong doesn't make someone scum. There's little need for me to address it because it feels like a (wrong) gutread. See my point on GL and skitter above. I'm not the type to tunnel on people, especially early on. In my experience, that tends to lead to mistakes.
Skitter I did make comments on twice now, but ultimately my feelings are a gutread on their posts being disingenuous--not much to push on there since my feeling =/= an argument.

Overall I feel like you are not attempting to engage others but more waiting for them to engage you. If you’re town, I would expect/like to see more pushing and questioning.
This isn't far off because of what I said before. The amount of time I can dedicate to the game dictates the way I play. I'm going to be much more of an observer at this stage than the one putting together a big case (that's probably super misguided) based on limited interaction. You'll likely see more of that from me later on, but I don't think it's helpful for me to conjure up a case from thin air.
Mostly tone, especially in the back and forth with skitter where I felt skitter appeared inauthentic--Eve appeared the opposite.

Yes. The whole tone of that back and forth felt manufactured. Skitter is almost acting as if she has never played with someone like how Eve is playing. In my experience, there is someone with Eve's style in nearly every game. Like I would expect
128 from someone who had never played before or never seen an RVS jokeclaim, but clearly that doesn't match her experience level.
In post 175, The Limit Does Not Exist wrote:Once again, feels like you are trying to have others push GL for you, I don’t see any attempts from you to engage with that slot beyond surface level. Same goes for skitter.
See some of my other comments, but the summary is some combination of "I don't exactly agree with that characterization" and "I'm not one to push that hard this early."
Maybe you read it wrong, but nom's 149 is absolutely
not
defending me. It's rejecting the idea that my response couldn't come from badscum because scum aren't perfect.
