I feel like she's approaching the game similarly to me in that she's thinking abt how to move things out of rvs + get people to start generating contengShowHiatus once more.

The one thing I've noticed so far is that one of Alianna or Skitter might be townie. Their interactions together out of the gate would be pretty bold if they were on the same scum team.
And while it's theoretically possible that both scum have been inactive, I have a gut feeling that that would be wishful thinkingOn hiatus until the end of grad school stops killing me.-

Maybe i'm wrong but generally i feel like posts like that are less likely to come from scum, it feels a little too brazen to vote for themselfIn post 30, Alianna wrote:

It's five to lynch and there's several days left. I'd like to believe that it's too brazen but I feel like it'd be safe enough for a scum to jokingly vote themselvesIn post 37, skitter30 wrote:

Or are you saying that voting yourself something that is typically read as suspicious, and that he'd be unlikely to draw attention to himself? What's brazen about it?

Okay, maybe I'll ask some questions.
I think two inactive scum is well within the realm of possibility, especially if both are new and unsure of how to play.In post 35, TheHoldSteady wrote: The one thing I've noticed so far is that one of Alianna or Skitter might be townie.

Let's say your theory is true though. Who do you consider active? Of those players, which one do you think is most likely to be scum or least likely to be town?

I'm not skitter, but I can attest that self-votes tend to get scumread, often for very silly reasons. It definitely draws attention.I townread Alianna.

I think you guys are defining "random" differently.In post 41, overseer wrote:

A self-vote is a little unusual and comes across as deliberate whether it's done as a joke or not. It's RVS for sure, but I get why someone would say it's not purely random.I townread Alianna.

Both the word random and vote is in the term RVS. You saying "it's RVS for sure" you're saying the vote was random so you agree with me.In post 44, Alianna wrote:

If skitter thinks it's NOT RVS because the vote is on himself, then I would like to hear her take.-

My apologies, I'll try not to use that word anymoreIn post 43, Alianna wrote: "Lynch" is banned on this site, we say "eliminate" or "execute" instead.
For activity, I'm just going off of content and post count. You, me, and Skitter to have been the most active so far. Overseer and Merelyn have been slightly less active than us, but still decently so. Radical Poloroid, political clout, and Arko have barely posted. There's been nothing from areebot.In post 43, Alianna wrote: Let's say your theory is true though. Who do you consider active? Of those players, which one do you think is most likely to be scum or least likely to be town?
I think it's just my luck that at least one person who's been active is scum, but at the same time I don't think activity and content in and of itself is a good measure for scum reads, because it's an inevitability that not every townie is going to play the game well.
So you have to combine activity and content with scum MO. Rereading a bit, I could read Merilyn's post as her trying to quickly set the execution towards an inactive townie since those would be easy targets. But I want to see more posts from Merilyn and see what else develops before I hold on too hard to that readOn hiatus until the end of grad school stops killing me.-
