does this matter*

[ProfessorDrapion]

I don’t know if it’s all that great. What if you are town reading scum, don’t you risk spreading that misconception to others? What if scum uses it as a way to plant town seeds on their members?

You are not a newbie, as far as I can tell, why do you keep asking questions about typical mechanics of the game?

You choose to enter the thread saying this?
Have anything else to add?
Rather then trying to pick on Porkens like that and not even in a good way.

I entered the thread before you, in case you didn't notice. I'm already voting, btw.

What's wrong with my approach to Porkens?

OH
You changed your profile picture.

[Porkens]

Sometimes I can pick the scum perfectly t the start of the game but then talk myself out of it by the end. Other games I’m dead convinced I know the scum and am just totally wrong sometimes it’s super obvious but I still can’t see it. The worst is when unfortunately I last until end game and hammer wrong. I’m a chronic hammerer but I’m trying to be better. And when I’m scum I almost always get caught.

[ProfessorDrapion]

It’s not as bad as I initially thought then.

[Porkens]

So I’ve tried different approaches but yeah haven’t found one that wins games

[Porkens]

I mean I’ve thrown away some legendary wins. That’s what cuts the deepest.

[NJAC]

I don’t really have one. I’m going to try and not get miseliminated. That’s really my only goal. Although I know that can’t win the game by itself, it’s my goal for the first couple days, at which point I hope to have gotten some idea who is scum er not.

Yeah, if you're town that alone won't help.

Have you tried several strategies to scum hunt before and failed?

Why does this better?
They can just play and do there best.
You are pushing stuff that isn’t AI your just talking about someone’s capabilities and how they play the game.

I'm trying to understand what kind of player Porkens is and what to expect from them.

[ProfessorDrapion]

Alright.
My bad, just thought you came into the thread, read over stuff and starting going after someone I’m not a great way.
But it wasn’t your first post so it’s not taken the same way.

[NJAC]

OH
You changed your profile picture.

What are you talking about? I have never changed my profile picture.

[ProfessorDrapion]

OH
You changed your profile picture.

What are you talking about? I have never changed my profile picture.

Then I guess I’m blind.

[ProfessorDrapion]

Or just dumb.

[NJAC]

Alright.

But it wasn’t your first post so it’s not taken the same way.

Please elaborate. Why exactly wasn't it a great way? What exactly changes now that you notice it's not my first post?

[ProfessorDrapion]

Cause if that’s the first thing someone chooses to do as they begin the game it doesn’t seem Townie to me and seems more agenda driven or trying to make fake content or rather content that could just become NAI.

[ProfessorDrapion]

But like aggressivlyish for no reason.

[Porkens]

Would it not, in fact, be more protown to

scumhunt

?

[Crescent]

Early TRs for no real reason are something scum love to give out, but there are people who as town are more inclined to "townhunt" early rather than scumhunt because it helps them build a picture. "What if you town read a scum" is a copout argument and can be figured out later. I had 8 townreads in 240 at the end of day 1 (which is a lot for me in a 17 player game), and 7 of then were correct.

I find the reason that was given on me to be acceptable. Post 8 isn't the kind of post you'd expect a newbie scum to make. He had no reason to assume at the time that I have an extensive history with the game.

[ProfessorDrapion]

Eh.
So far all I see from NJAC is they seem to talk about someone’s play and whatnot.
“Newbie Scum”
“Not Newbie”

Idk, I’m really not feeling it.
Can be town but I’m not sure on that slot tbh.

[Wayward Son]

What exactly about my vote did you not like?
You didn't care for it....I want to know why.

I don't know any history here, but what makes someone speculating about their "nightmare scum team" scum?

[Crescent]

NJAC has asked a lot of questions that feel like they're not going anywhere. I don't like #97 with him making an emphasis on having already voted when the vote was irrelevant, but I do like #111 questioning Drapion, as Drapion's behavior towards him has been.. Odd. It's kind of like he jumped on him without actually thinking it through, and turned waffley shortly after.

If I had to make a gut read here, Drapion is town who realizes most of his argument to vote njac with to begin with was flawed, but also doesn't want to let him go because njac hasn't done anything that feels town to him. In a Drapion scum/Njac town situation, a typical scum player is more likely to just unvote or at least drop the pressure when it's this early. Instead, he's essentially flailed the last 20 or so posts, adding essentially nothing to his argument in the process.

[NJAC]

Why is my vote irrelevant? Just because you said you don't vote early, it doesn't mean other players cannot make something useful with our votes.

[ProfessorDrapion]

Exactly what I was getting at Cres.
NJAC asks about stuff that is basically NAI rather it be play or some sort of “newbie” or “mechanical” talk.
And that’s what I was trying to say “it doesn’t bring us anywhere” cause it’s NAI the stuff they ask.

Okay. You got my attention. Where were you bringing us before I started asking Porkens?

[Wayward Son]

118 makes me think the Professor lawyered up!

If the vote actually mattered you'd be explaining why it mattered in this post.

It matters. I'm waiting for Kitty to show up.
