can i just cut out the middleman?

it would be a bad idea I believe

[implosion]

I think I found that Datisi Scum game and it is JK9++, where I was sk ~_~

I was genuinely townreading him but definitely a little different of a lens.

Mala and GeorgeBailey are unreadable so far and hutmeil I kind of see why people are calling them town or scum but I don't think their posting so far is really indicative

Mala may be scum here unfortunately. I've given her two opportunities to interact with absolutely no return. Not a good sign.

I will back this as she seems like she was in PYP

Also meant to say: this did also cross my mind. I want to give her space to enter the game if she gets an opportunity to, and of course her being gone could be just RL reasons, but, well, yeah.

[Aristeia]

she had a slow start here as well as town:

viewtopic.php?f=83&t=89426

it's been just 4 days since game start and half of it was over the weekend.

hopefully she will show up to play

When you were catching up, what did you think about fire?

See below.

vulture kinda locktown for being willing to take the hurt that will come from proposing that tbh

I don't agree with that proposal since it outs Town PRs. So fire agreeing to this seems scummy to me.

do...do you actually think that i was serious?

i thought 98 felt off and i wanted to see if you had an actual read or not

if you were 0% serious then i think 98 is a little awkward

if you were, like, 5% serious then i could see it fitting, but id want to know where that 5% is coming from

i don't think you're more than 5% serious but the distinction between 0 and 5 is meaningful in this case

it takes 7 votes to elim

you're the 3rd vote

why are you scared of someone quickhammering at this point? you did the same with implosion on 3 votes

I'm not gonna quote all of fire's posts but to me they seem like he's scumhunting, so he goes from scummy back to null for me.

^ This. So I'm not town because I don't post that much? I understand though, I don't like lurkers too! Speaking of, Malakittens hasn't posted yet has she?

idk if i mentioned this or if i decided i didn't care enough, but while we're on the hut subject this is prob the one thing from them that looks more like new-ish scum than new-ish town to me

the like slightly awkward acknowledging that the pattern of play is scummy while redirecting onto someone else

nothing else really stood out to me or looked that different from their approach in their town game

Hmmm it might be scummy but my point remains. Mala hasn't posted anything substantial at all. In fact, per ISO she's posted only once in 33 pages!

I don't have your meta abilities, so I'd go with just gut feel. Suggesting to out PRs early plus saying that he/she doesn't have energy to play the game seems like an excuse for scum to lay low.

VOTE: Vulture

[Datisi]

you ever have a thought "i'm gonna go to bed early and wake up at 8am and have time to do everything!!" and then you pass out and the next time you look at the clock, it's half past noon?

i do not agree with the notion that gamma is town for the andante vote and things that preceded it. it feels trying to latch onto something to push when that something is most likely not even ai. like, what's the difference between andante (accidentally or not) misrepping people up until this point, and her over exaggerating the amount of people that are not contributing or quoting/misrepping gamma's post. gamma's tone there just feels nai to me. he has enough experience to be able to fake that i think.

also, gamma implied i don't have a good scumgame, so she can die

My reaction to this post from Datisi comes in two stages: stage one, "this post looks really town", and stage two, "shit, didn't Datisi convince me he was town in a scum game once by making exactly this kind of post". So I need to remember which game that was and maybe look at it.

i don't think that post is like, impossible for scumtisi to put out, but i do not remember if i've done a post like that in jk9++ or not. can you elaborate what your thoughts are after checking that game? top of 801 is confusing to me.

Datisi

why?

i had a thought of making a gif readslist but putting in random gifs and watching people trying to interpret them, don't think i will do that though

On another note, datisi, what's your read on ari right now?

obvious town <3

Spoiler:

slightly townie. i'm not thrilled about her push on you because (1) i independently think you're town, (2) her reasons for making that push don't really resonate with me the same way some other reasons for her pushes have when she was town (e.g. prism in lake melancholy)

however, i also don't think scum!aristeia would have a reason to be trying to stop scumreads on people like andante and gamma. so like, unless she's scum with some of them AND thought i / other people were about to tunnel them and it's gonna end in a disaster for her team, i don't think there's incentive for scum!her to do that

if you want me to fine comb through her iso and try to make a more detailed response, i can do that in ~9-12 business hours

I don't have your meta abilities, so I'd go with just gut feel. Suggesting to out PRs early plus saying that

they

don't have energy to play the game seems like an excuse for scum to lay low.

what's the difference to you between vulture making that excuse, and me making excuses that i have exams, or george and mala straight up not being here?

[hutmeil]

what's the difference to you between vulture making that excuse, and me making excuses that i have exams, or george and mala straight up not being here?

The difference is vulture suggested the PR out thing.

Congrats on the exam results by the way! Does this mean you're in your early 20s? I feel ancient now lol.

[Datisi]

thanks! and as per my profile, i am 22

can you make a readslist? doesn't have to be overly long or detailed, i just wanna see the cliffnotes on where you stand on people and why

[Aristeia]

I just hope this is the time Dats!town correctly townreads me becuz if this is another scum!Dats townreads town!ari I will be sads ;_;

1) You said early on that it was scummy to you that I suggested it. Do you think that I would, as scum, do something that early to the benefit of a team? You also followed up the idea with you being unsure if it benefitted town or scum to do so. Have you defaulted to it benefitting scum now? (Not a fair word but the one my mind used).

2) You think I’m making excuses to lay low, but I’ve also posted after stating my energy levels. Why not engage with my content as it is? Have you read it and do you agree or disagree with my reads, any thoughts?

[Vulture]

Like, Hutmeil, the level that you’re engaging the game with right now feels very shallow, I guess?

I don’t think it’s worth going back and forth on whether or not suggesting a strategy like that is scummy because I came into the game aware that it would be received poorly and people would kneejerk react. But I guess you seem to be... stuck on that early thing and basing things around it longer than I think someone would if they had... more to give.

[Datisi]

vulture, why are you not voting and do you have any Strong Townreads?

[Datisi]

I just hope this is the time Dats!town correctly townreads me becuz if this is another scum!Dats townreads town!ari I will be sads ;_;

i could never make you sad :<

do you think this is town!dats?

[Gamma Emerald]

Was hoping for a reaction or two to my gif list

[Vulture]

vulture, why are you not voting and do you have any Strong Townreads?

I haven’t felt like it yet.

And no, actually. I have people I’m less likely to vote come time to kill but no one feels especially towny this game.
(Those people right now are that knot of people I mentioned earlier, S_S, probably Andante...? Probably Penguin...?)

[Vulture]

Was hoping for a reaction or two to my gif list

Your gif for me made me laugh.

[Aristeia]

I really really really really want it to be <3

Spoiler: thoughts

I'm mildly worried that it isn't but you know I don't have the heart to actually push you <3

[Datisi]

Was hoping for a reaction or two to my gif list

i don't understand the meaning of the gif for me

[Gamma Emerald]

You seems generally well-liked + I TR you rn

[Gamma Emerald]

Btw Ari I wanna ask why you used the gif you did for me? I have an idea but I am not pleased if my interpretation is correct

[Aristeia]

I think you're cute when you get angry :>

[VP Baltar]

if you want me to fine comb through her iso and try to make a more detailed response, i can do that in ~9-12 business hours

No need. I think I get the idea from what you posted.

[VP Baltar]

Was hoping for a reaction or two to my gif list

I like that my gif is age appropriate for me.

[VP Baltar]

But if I'm being more specific, can I get words on why you feel the way you do about hutnmeil and SS?

[VP Baltar]

Datisi, you still think vulture is scum?

[Andante]

Was hoping for a reaction or two to my gif list

didn't understand mine
