   ---------O---------
(the 6 is not related to anything in particular)

As of Post 149
  • Keyser Soze: All right, this guy is null. The only thing I can see is that the vote on Reundo should probably restate the evidence as most of Keyser's recent posts are about Dun. UNVOTE: Keyser
    3.5
  • Reundo: Four posts. Post 119 is great if you drop the first block of text.
    For now
    I think I want to slightly take Reundo's side of this.
    4.5
  • Ausuka: I like the honest effort in 111 and 139. These posts may not directly gain conclusions but I appreciate the effort for someone who clearly was unable to get online.
    5
  • Dunnstral: Why vote for Sesq? This player is lurking, as far as post 149 is concerned.
  • Flicker: Oh wait, that is the mod.
  • GameNBurger: I am just confused here. 108 should be alignment-indicative but I am unable to read the indication. Nothing else is of any value.
    4
  • Irrelephant: Either I am too worn out from trying to read 5 other slots or nothing really jumps out.
    N/A
  • Posiedon: Did this guy like get replaced?
    N/A
  • Sesq: is a vote magnet. I think there have been two or maybe even three votes on Sesq with next to no explanation. I see that Sesq's play is unconventional but not
    really
    scummy. This is a hard slot to read, so I will just deduct half a point and say
    3.5
    .
  • Volxen: Too little to read. But the posts that he did make are town.
    4.1
I tried to read NSG and Kop but making this list is getting exhausting and I am not getting anywhere.
Retired Account
. I have no replacement.

After 2 years (almost exactly!) of inactivity I am giving MafiaScum a second chance...

Nah. I'm gone. Again.

I’m not gonna bother making a readslist yet as more than half the players haven’t even made 10 posts.

RE: Dunnstral, yeah his entrance has been underwhelming but not worth a vote yet, as I think he owes us a catchup and thoughts on everyone.

what does this mean? sorry if it's like obvious and i'm missing something but I honestly have no idea.
In post 147, Irrelephant11 wrote:@Ausuka he just feels overeager to provide reasoning for his votes. At this early stage, as NSG pointed out, there’s a lot more for town to gain by keeping things close to the chest at times. 2718 seems like he’s the one that wants towncred (as opposed to the townsite reason for oversharing - to actually help others sort)
Really scraping the bottom of the barrel for reads here, though, I admit

VOTE: reundo
can you elaborate on why 2.718's posts look like they're grabbing for towncred if you can? also why did you vote Reundo?
No matter what happens, I'll be right there with you.

If you're confused about my sesq vote then you're not seeing something in the ~5 posts they had when I voted them?

They voted Keyser in rvs, then followed it up by shading their opening post and then post 80 where they keep their vote on keyser while saying some contradictory things and they seem to be focused only on keyser

I think Keyser is town from the quick glancing I made. I have played with Keyser quite a bit under a different alias on another website, and kinda know what his town game is, and what his scum game is. Unless his game play is different over here compared to over on the other website I play with him, but at the moment, I am getting his town game play from what I've seen so far.

Dunnstral, I over looked Sesq ISO, what contradictory things are you seeing in #80? From what I'm seeing, it strikes me a lot as careless play which is something you don't normally see from scum. She did also tried to explain a little bit, albeit not very well.

Yes this is a poor entrance, but I've only quickly glanced over everything, and everything is just a mess to me. When I'm not proper tired, I will actually go through and try to put things better in my mind, and can put things into words.

I'd vote for numbers, because he is a one that stood out to me, from the quick glance, Keyser seems town from what I've seen, Ruendo first few posts stunk, why is he the highest wagon? Is it down to his first 2 or 3 posts he has made?

please Please townread me
This was a page one question intended to be answered before we enter serious/non-RVS gameplay.

You shouldn’t see it as an attempt to look ‘townie’: it’s as non-alignment indicative as say a player asking if there is scum day chat - why are you being lazy/shortsighted?
you're right. if you were scum you would have at least tried to phrase it differently. and you're not new. also; town tries hard to look like town too. so theres that

after reading further its clear (i hope i dont come off as too rude) that keyser is entirely detached from the state of the game ... but not in a scum way. nothing you have said has really made any sense and ive changed my mind. vote stays
detached from the state of the game seems like a made up read and the rest of it made 0 sense

Keyser is interesting. Although he seems scum, I am unable to support that logically. Why is Keyser wanting to limit
the forbidden topic
to page 1? (And why not wait until day 2, when
the forbidden topic
actually becomes a thing that can be done?)

Reundo's 46 is a little annoying but I like how he looked at everyone.

I kind of am concerned about Keyser, so VOTE: Keyser.
I am not in that good of a mood, so do not expect any more reads from me at this time.
pretty bad post and especially bad take on reundo

"annoying" and "looked at everyone" don't describe reundo's 46 and aren't alignment indicative characteristics of any post. seems fake.

ok, and so what? do you townread it, scumread it, null read it? who cares if it's unnecessary? is it scummy?

I already clarified that I am null-reading GameNBurger currently in :

In post 108, GameNBurger wrote:So I'm back for a while

Let me weigh on some shit

@NORTH:

Short summary of my last game, i'd do some game theory stuff or long pairing posts that were like open notes, which is just my style of play for the most part but people kept saying "this is never town" which is just the dumbest assumption

I know lazy scum is a popular strat on this site but god damn somebody's gotta break the circlejerk rip tides because scum could just easily coast by putting in effort in note taking

Thats probably the largest reason why i felt the need to comment on it ahead of time since I really hated having to just not say anything in the interest of the town not flip flopping more than it already did that game, not only that but if scum tries to ride out a similar strat of just putting in over the top effort and taking town cred from people I want to be able to call it out with scum potentially being armed with ammo of me keeping quiet in the case that anyone gives me towncred

And I don't buy into that shit of "act bad then attract scum who try and attacks you or buys into it" because town has every right reason to call you out on that as scum does so its just a big showy waste of everyone's time that will cast doubt on ones self to the rest of the town

@Volxen
How have you missed my references to my previous game being the main hitch that motivates my action its in the quote you quoted
I didn’t miss the reference you made to your previous game, I just disagree that it was beneficial/necessary to bring it up in regard to how people may or may not be reading you in
this
game. To me at least, going out of your way to say “don’t townread me for this” comes across as odd and forced. Why not just let everyone come to their own conclusion? That’s all I’m saying.

In any case, you did elaborate more on your reasoning in this post in your response to NSG, so perhaps we will just have to agree to disagree on this point.
In post 111, Ausuka wrote:
@volxen: why do you think scum!GNB argues that people will tr him for mechanics when he doesn't actually believe that?
As I see it there are really only two reasons why he would go out of his way to tell people not to townread him:

1) If he is town, perhaps he really just did have a bad experience in previous game(s) where people incorrectly equated effort with towniness, and he’s worried it might happen in this game based on that.

2) If he is scum, he may just be using basic reverse psychology to plant the idea that he is acting like town by essentially saying “don’t give me easy town points, make me earn them”.

At the moment though, he’s a null-read for me, as most of his content has been the mathematical proof, talking about hypoclaiming and lurking, and the whole bit about him not wanting people to townread him solely based on providing the mathematical proof.

dunnstral seems kind of scummy right now, so that's a good a place as any for a vote.

i remember someone asking or pondering upon why i wasn't voting GNB if i was apparently scumreading him, and while i didn't and still don't really understand the mindset of what he was saying, it didn't really ping me as all that scum indicative on an instintcutal level.

anyways,

how accurate would you say you are when it comes to reading keyser? i just want to know your degree of confidence here.

on a different note, kop's staccato sentences with all of the commas are standing out to me. from memory i don't really remember him talking like that, although i could certainly be wrong here. i'm going to check for myself soon (if not right after this then this should serve as a reminder), but does anyone else who's played with kop remember that?

saying that my opinion is "commas are scummy" is an utter misrepresentation of what i'm trying to say

he's typing in an awkward manner and it's an awkward manner that i'm not sure i remember him doing in the games i've seen him as town

not sure how you could frame that as my opinion being "commas are scummy"
