didn't
post.Here's a summary of my points:
- He never had any real scumreads.
- His votes (or rather, vote, singular) were (was) terrible with terrible reasoning, which I don't think is present in his towngame.
- His activity was poor, and he didn't make good use of the small time that he wasin-thread.
- His depth of thought was lacking compared to previous towngames.
1. No Real Scumreads
Unless you expect me to quote every post of his ISO there's not a great way for me to demonstrate this, so I encourage you – go read through his ISO. It's not long. Search for a real scumread, because you won't be able to find one. Now, some people might say rb, but rb wasn't a real scumread of his. He never calls rb scum and never brings him up outside of his initial vote.
Also, nobody ever makes a post like this about someone that they're scumreading:
If he had unvoted while making this post, I would consider it genuine towny confusion. If he had mentioned in some future post "not sure what to think about rb", I wouldn't be making this point. He didn't. Even further, the posts that he quoted are really just rb being weird / goofy, so I don't think Thespio was even saying "Rb confuses me" in terms of his alignment – he was just joking around about those posts.In post 110, Thespio wrote:In post 104, rb wrote:wow my opinions are facts imoRb confuses me...In post 106, rb wrote:wow what's wrong with it
In fact, I titled this "no real scumreads", but Thespio didn't have any real reads period, town or scum.
This is pretty closely related to the next point, so:
2. Bad Vote
The rb vote is just not good. It's as simple as that. It's not good and it's not good in a way that is pretty easily scum indicative.
Notice how he doesn't even call rb scum, he just says "people who do the thing that you're doing are scummy". He never even says "you are scummy". The only direct statement he makes towards rb is "your reason sucks".In post 75, Thespio wrote:People who ride wagons for the sake of riding wagons are scummy imo, your reason sucks.In post 74, rb wrote:y dat scummy tho
This is scum talking to someone they know is town.
3. Poor Activity
I looked into Thespio's soul. Maybe you should do some soul searching yourself?
Anyways, Thespio had pretty weak thread presence during his time in this game, and he madeIn post 1, sheepsaysmeep wrote:
really
scum-indicative use of what time he did spend in the thread. Let's look at everything he did between entering the thread on January 14th with 284 and leaving after 305:
It's literally nothing but asking me why I think he's scum.
Now, don't get me wrong: that's a reasonable question to ask. The thing is, this happens a lot with me: scum get hyperfocused on hounding me for reasons why I think they're scum. Even apart from rule reasons, I was deliberately avoiding giving concrete answers just to see if Thespio would fall into this scum behavior. Town in this situation does
something
other than just asking me for reasons. They'd catch up and respond to posts they missed, they'd maybe give their thoughts on my own alignment for not giving a reason, they'd do something
else. Thespio didn't.That's a point to emphasize, too:
Thespio never once gave a read on me.
4. This isn't his Towngame
Let's look at Thepsio's last game before this one. The first thing I want you to do is just look at it. There's a really obvious just
visual
difference between his ISO here and there. Even beyond that, let's analyze. Let's take a look at just the sixth post of his ISO:More reads in one post than in his entire ISO this game.In post 89, Thespio wrote:So hear me out here, just want all your opinions on this, I’m currently scum leaning on RCE but assuming he is just saying I think we’re simmiliar then the most beneficial thing for teacher if he was scum would be for them to lean into this idea that they are similar, this would let him pick up a townie and he could attempt to shift suspicion off of their pocketed townie to gain their trust. At the time there wasn’t really any pressure on teacher so they didn’t have to worry about us flipping on them. But now teacher is trying to justify their interactions and even more he strait up says he thinks it’s weird how similar they are. Meanwhile I think the rest of us are like ‘wtf are they talking about?’
Currently feel this makes teacher scum and a hard lean with RCL
VOTE: Teacher
I think I've made my point. Thespio was a frozen wolf who just wasn't playing his scumgame.
