Quick couple notes regarding predecessor:
@Oka
How do you think you'll play differently with respect to apthet this game?
Seemed like a weirdly specific question to a specific player.
Also, I belong to a neighbourhood with S_S and their predecessor immediately called me town for... apparently thinking I was the one who posted that post.
It seemed like a really easy townread, some of the stuff that they posted really seemed off, and like I hate to call the replace out Alignment Indicative but I kinda feel that it was.
This is both 1) way too forward in assuming that apthet is scumreading him for playstyle and 2) essentially assumes good intentions on the part of apthet. Also just the engagement is... weird. idk.
A lot of this is more gut but I think the logic of him just saying that being scummy also applies.

What you almost certainly just scumread me for.
I'm a very logic-oriented, passive, and reactive player. I try to understand reasons for everything and to keep people from jumping to unjustified conclusions. I townhunt much more often and effectively than I scumhunt, especially early on.
What specifically did you not like?
Again there's a certain artificialness to just stating oh you're scumreading me for my playstyle.

And the thing about RC is that he is both a strong town player and a VERY strong scum player. People unfamiliar with him will tend to townread him regardless of his alignment, and that's dangerous.
Just saying 'thats dangerous' feels more likely to come from scum in a way that's hard to express.
again saying this so bluntly sounds more like a scum perspective than a town one.
error: citation needed. etc. feels too strong a read at the time and fake.

Should? No. Will? Probably. To be honest if apthet is scum I would be very grateful for whoever managed to strongarm a lynch through on her.
...But I also think her interactions, and resulting reads, on me and Nimueh read as extremely genuine. So unless she's an alt of a few specific people, I doubt she'd be capable of that as scum.
Do I have to have literally the same conversation I just had with apthet again?
... Because you're doing it too.
This is just such a weird thing to say. He thinks that I can read him and yet he's getting salty at me for scumreading his playstyle. And just the phrasing of same conversation etc., feels off.
In post 321, Something_Smart wrote:The way apthet voted me, and then immediately reevaluated and pivoted to Nimueh, and then immediately reevaluated again, is something that is vastly more likely to come from town. That would be a weird and very advanced thought process to fake as scum, and it definitely shows that she is genuinely reacting to and analyzing what is happening.
Just the way he describes the read feels TMI. This really isn't the way that town describe reads, particularly wrt the "weird and very advanced thought process. The "definitely shows" is also super scum indicative.

expects me to townread him then gives me an out when I errantly scumread him.
excessive use of definitely and literally and ellipses in his iso is definitely and literally... a scumtell.
I might be doing this wrong like I did to RCE in GIF's game regarding his use of the word hmm excessively but I ALSO scumread SS for other reasons, so.

this is the kind of thing scum say a lot wrt the "but what I'm concerned about" and then even the content.
so yeah. scumz.
