Newbie 2101 | Better Call Saul | Game Over

VOTE: MegAzumarill

i can probably guess why you're doing this but explain it anyway?

It was actually a serious vote rather than plainly RTing, I left it naked to see what the reaction would be. Meg already felt different from Mewbie 2092 in this game, more jokey in a way.

nah that was what i figured your reason was actually, just wanted to hear it in your own words

I am liking peta's entrace into the game so far. I'm gonna go with my dVOTE: esires.

this is good, because there is no reason whatsoever to distrust me

Did you think my vote was serious or a reaction test?

At this stage of the game, I would have just assumed it was RVS. Why was this line of questioning something you saw worth pursuing?

i thought it was serious for basically the reasoning you gave

Moreso I'm OK with being the first wagon.

this is very slightly >rand town

Why does being okay with being lynched make someone town? I would never accept a lynch on me as we have MLs that I would rather use to lynch scum.

[MegAzumarill]

Friendly reminder to avoid the L word.

[esires]

OK I have a slight scumread on BS2000 now. Post 51 is a little sus; first he casts aspersions on petapan, then puts him in the townlean category. I get a weird wishy washy vibe from that whole post.

UNVOTE: VOTE: BS2000

Townreads so far are Meg and fancypants.

[Bulbazoor]

Interesting. Why do you townread meg? I haven't seen anything particularly towny from him.

[MegAzumarill]

On a semi-serious note I don't like fancypants' entrance

What's wrong with it, too serious too quickly?

The idea that it's self referential in a way, like here are two players mobing the game early so they are town, where they also do the same thing.

On a reread of this thread (thank goodness it's only three pages), I do not really see what FP said as alignment indicative.

Did I ever claim it was?

[Bulbazoor]

You said you didn't like his post which I took as saying you saw it coming from a scum-POV.

didn't say they were okay with being eliminated (that's another theory discussion altogether), said they were okay with being wagoned. can be feigned nonchalance but i'm choosing to take the easy answer for now

[petapan]

Going based off of vibes, I don't really like furtive that much and I need to see more from juice.

what don't you like about furtive?

[petapan]

Meg's posts are awfully loose, I'm good with my vote being parked there for now.

why does "loose" = scum?

Maybe I read this post wrong, but I could sense a bit of worry. This is why I asked him why he felt the need to question this statement you made further. Seemed kinda self-conscious about how his vote came across. And then the jokey attitude he has had for page 1 and 2 are pinging me quite a bit as tryhard. I haven't played with him at all so I have no idea how he plays.

[Bulbazoor]

tryharding in the sense that he tried hard to come off as jokey and carefree.

I just thought the initial vote on you and then quick vote change to juice was odd. Not a strong scumread odd, but a "this seems impulsive, please explain your logic" odd. Turns out it was a gut read. However.....

this is the fastest i have ever been townread in a game

don't really think it's warranted but w/e. don't find myself more suspicious of the people doing it

maaaaan this feels performative. "oh you think I'm town already? I don't think i'm being very town. but if you think i'm town I guess you're kinda town."

Meg's posts are awfully loose, I'm good with my vote being parked there for now.

I would say loose is more anti-town. Can be distracting. Most of that ended after page 2. (I'll also note I have no issue with peeps making posts to try to get others to use appropriate verbage)

tryharding in the sense that he tried hard to come off as jokey and carefree.

just from skimming FGs meta, that's kinda their style early in games, I think.

i mean i'm normally not someone who gets townread early and while i think my play is solidly protown i'd be lying if i said i was out of scumrange. but i don't think the reads on me are necessarily coming from an informed point of view where i'm being townread too easily by people who know i'm town, it just feels a bit careless

that doesn't really answer my question - what posts seemed "loose"? just them joking around on page 1?

VOTE: BBT

[petapan]

i have a lot of vague positive good feelings toward people and no one pinging me as especially scummy yet. it's possible i'm being overly generous because the game is still a bit stagnant but no one has done a thing that makes me want to murder them yet

[esires]

High level of activity and scumhunting.

Yeah I realize it wasn't the most impressive or useful entry into the game but like I said in a prior post, I was at a con over the weekend, but still wanted to participate in the game. Rush-posting from a phone between sessions is less than ideal but hopefully I cleared up what I meant.

@furtiveglance: your top 2 scumreads? Top 2 townreads?

[BlueBloodedToffee]

Alright, who should I be voting?

[petapan]

Alright, who should I be voting?

yourself

[petapan]

@mod: juice needs a prod

[BlueBloodedToffee]

yourself

How silly

VOTE: Petapan

[petapan]

meg, furtive, and fancypants all seem fine enough in a slightly towny way for now. kind of like esires for that same reason and bulbazoor's entry is okay, though i'm kind of biased to townread rigid posting styles

[petapan]

yourself

How silly

VOTE: Petapan

if you would like to out yourself as mafia by all means go ahead

[BlueBloodedToffee]

How do I do that?

By voting you?

[petapan]

hm, thought the bad lazy entrance was +scum for you but on a quick check it's meta neutral. i don't know why you show up to a game as bare as this and refuse to put forth any meaningful effort though
