i know that random voting is site meta on MS but i guess i’ve never understood the point of it and as a contrarian, want to set myself apart from the many by not doing that yet. and announcing that i’m not doing it, to boot.
(also, gentle heads up that i think dkkoba’s pronouns are they/them. not to embarrass anyone but i know it’s important to have gender identity recognized externally.)
This is towny from nepenthe.
Koba is being fairly aggressive but actually I think it might be NAI because Koba always plays like this.
I don't like the self-conscious attack that Koba is making because it doesn't really add up to me and honestly it feels kinda off.

also, am i being pocketed by ben? is this what it feels like? am i the pet townie?
This "being wary about pocketing" act is pretty towny coming from nepenthe.
lenora's tone is so...pure it just feels like she is town from tone. I don't really want to read into her tone farther than this.
Maduisha's posts are giving me town vibes but it seems that she is competent so I'll keep a close eye on her.
Koba's behavior isn't something I really like so I'll just read most of their posts as null since I think their playstyle antagonizes mine. Not in the mood to go full arguing mode like I do with Trendall in Newbie games.
lenora's attempt to sort Koba just feels like it comes from town.

The only person I might of played with before might be Umlaut and that's a big maybe. There a lot of new people here so I am not sure exactly how to read them. There is also not much to work with . Page 5 in the RVS usually does not tell us much about a player in my opinion
Some observation
If Nepenthe is town he would be an easy target for scum to try to eliminate. I am not sure if Nepenthe is an awkward town or awkward scum. As both seem possible at the moment
Also dont know if Umlaut is faking outrage over the newbie posts. I been burnt by newbscum before but I also got railroaded as a new player by scum because I was an easy lynch. I think Umlaut is a player that's worth keeping my eyes on
Fuzzy's observation is very surface level analysis and I'm really not a fan. I definitely could settle on a Fuzzy wagon if we have nothing good to go off of by the end of the day.
Umlaut fearing lenora to be scum who is trying to get TR'ed by "newbieness" feels like unnecessary paranoia that only comes from town. Definitely ok leaving Umlaut as nulltown for rn.

Definitely do not like the sequence here.
Chumbo's drunk posting is quite surface level. Feels awfully filler and I want to see where clidd is going with this slot.
Maduisha is doing some deep analysis which I like for how slow this game is currently.

I figured that most posts were mostly first thoughts and I wanted to see if the accusations were there to get things moving or things that players were willing to push harder. My thoughts were just basic observations that popped out. Things are moving forward and I can start to sort things out.
This would pass for me if it wasn't the fact that Fuzzy hasn't said much about actual thoughts. That doesn't reflect very well for him.

I did think his drunk-posting was alright, but let's see.
Just seemed like classic lurkscum. Also the drunk-posting, which wouldn't be a factor at the time I Made that post cuz he: wrote it after I posted, was just rapid-fire nothingness replies if you ask me. Never been a fan of those, it's the easiest effort to ape.
Since you scumread him before his drunk posting I won't factor that reason in
tbh this still doesn't explain why you explicitly revealed Chumbo from the envelope. Like if "classic lurkscum" is the only thing you have against Chumbo then wouldn't it make sense just to hold onto that read for a bit longer and then see how it develops? Calling someone as "classic lurkscum" 5 pages into the game isn't a great read especially in a low content game like this.
In post 152, Maduisha wrote:I wouldn't call him noob because he clearly has experience for years and stuff. The only thing pinging me kinda weird is that he refuses to explain whether he has a read on Fuzzy or not, but Chumbo already pressed on that matter.
I'm mindmelding with this line of thought. For calling Chumbo out just for lurking on page 5 Zulfy should be fine with calling other people out? I want to see what he has to say with this.

I feel a organic frequency of opinions coming from her, which is probably coming more from town!Maduisha than not. Evidently, I'm not sure if there was an evolution in her scumgame, but I believe that I will be able to reconsider if I notice that my impression is incorrect (eventually).
In post 171, clidd wrote:My experience with Umlaut is more from player to mod than player to player. Particularly, I don't know how his meta works, but the point that I found towny from him was his approach to the behavior that Lenora had, as it reflected me as genuinely skeptical. It's hard imo to see scum!Umlaut using a very specific material to push someone
(112) as scum, instead of rescuing a piece in memory unconsciously stimulated by the need for scumhunting as town.
Obviously, "genuine" does not always come from town, as scum could also argue about a real event that occurred, but in the context of Umlaut/Lenora, I see it as more town indicative than scum indicative.
clidd coming in and absolutely obvtowning out of the gate. Now I'm feeling a bit paranoid about him but I'll see how he progresses on from here.

Ben dover: Have honestly completely skipped past em in my skimming.
Oh dear, maybe I have to get a bit more into this game. The last thing I want is to be completely unnoticed, that's not how I'll get in my groove in games.
