I'm liking Hectic's content and reads, but the difference in his playstyle is really nagging at me. It's almost like he's too good to be true now that he's playing normally, and I'm seeing that as a possible scum tactic.
@anyone else who has played with him, what are your thoughts on his behaviour? Do you think the change in his posting style is AI? Why/why not?

If yes, can you tell me a bit more about your NC and RCMA reads?

He has played every game differently, as far as I’m aware, from my occasional readings of newbie games, each with a different gimmick. It is true that he lacks a gimmick this time... but I don’t know if he’s been scum before or anything about that so...

RC reads was talked about earlier and it’s based on NSG actually posting.
Whoops, ignore that quote up the top.

Why would you take out NC and Gamma? Is it just the lack of a townread, or is there a more substantial reason?

I was hoping you'd have a bit more to substantiate the read at this point, as scum!nsg could very easily post more. What's your read on the RC head*?
*Note - I find it hard to read hydras. Is it better practice to split the read by head and consolidate later, or approach the read in a holistic manner from the outset?
HEAL: Hectic[/quote]
I still have some meta reservations about him, but I like his content. On a brief iso skim:
+ he was willing to retract his RVS coalition vote
+ he's asking about reads and furthering discussion
+ he's being proactive with providing information
+ his reads seem to develop naturally
+ I agree with his reads
- he hasn't changed on his townread of me. Slight chance of this being an attempt at buddying.
- the meta/posting change, as discussed above
Overall, I'm happy with the +'s and think the -'s are probably just me being paranoid.

12 seemed like a typical TownRC post to me but not definitely.
Most people go by reading individual heads if they knows one of the heads well.

So your defense is basically, "I'm not being obvious scum, therefore I'm not scum." Also, RC hasn't really given out any reads so you could even sheep him if you wanted to.
for my part i'm just going to treat EP like a nonparticipant in the game and hope that we win via coalition not including them regardless of their alignment.

it's not about my feelings, it's about the fact that it's objectively wrong to do so
the only way that feelings come into play is how everyone ~feels~ about the prospect of losing to me
it's not some kind of personal fucking favor to me to treat me like an actual player in a game of mafia
