This is ominous.
like, it half pisses me off afrayed keeps saying it, cause last game he self voted then decided to try hard, while on e-1, I decided to hammer him, then he flipped town, and this game he keeps repeating "don't make the same mistake" like sorry not sorry? I'm hammering the guy who put himself on e-1 then decided to really try...

repeating "don't make the same mistake" annoys the crap out of me here, but whatever, I'm willing to believe he can be town who genuinely thinks it was my fault he went over... I don't feel like that's a card scum would keep playing here (this is the 2nd mention of it that I've seen)

I don't really seem the point in arguing since you seem like a really stubborn player/in a stubborn mood this game maybe. Unvoting AK is frustrating obviously.

I'll probably just wait for your reads orbit to come back round to where I want, as it seems like you change them every five seconds.
well my vote isn't going back there for the reason I just explained

Is this the reason? If so it boils down to 'scum would not do this scummy tactic twice...would they???'

Still think Titus is scummy

I kind of think we need a flip at this point? Under the impression that night actions will be meaningful
This seems quite early in the day page-wise, +scum for me.

Day 1 is the only day that we're completely in the dark flips-wise, and I'm feeling that right now.

Hmphhh

No matter how hard you may try to convince me, I just can't see Aureal ever being scum this game. Her thought process just aligns with mine way too much.

This might be the first game ever where I just townread Aureal start to finish without starting to scumread her at a critical point so that she gets mislimmed




Also, I don't think I'm ever voting outside of Titus/Ircher/Furtive today, honestly. I will try to figure out whether they are aligned or not after one of them flips scum.

Looking at the VC, I think we need to consolidate wagons. I have a person I'm strongly TRing and a person I'm mildly TRing on each of these wagons (except Titus wagon with a person I SR instead of a mild TR). Are an of you down to consolidation? Where do you want to consolidate?

Same reason you voted Alianna, and it hasn't really gotten better since then.

I... do appreciate the fact it's funny. In fact it made me chuckle out loud.


Fineeee I won't scumread you for that! But I will keep scumreading you for other things!


For instance, Mr. Sailor
Moon
Swift, can you explain how this is not just a blatant attempt to get TR'd?
In post 497, furtiveglance wrote: Broccoli Quest 2 - town.
HighPrincessErinys - town, agreed with a lot of posts here.
Doctor Drew - town by meta and direction of travel (i.e. agrees with my takes)
Hu Tao - town. Liked both streams of posts so far
Theta Alpine - town. A level of depth to posting about reads that I didn't see from scum!Rautherdir in Conception (hope talking about alt metas is ok)


Ircher - unsure. Scum by posts (as ever?) but town by VCA?
Andante - unsure. Not a priority vote at the moment but I am wary of what I saw as a scattergun approach to votes/scumreads.
Gamma Emerald - unsure. Wallflower act is meta typical but harder to read, hopefully GE gets into a more direct discussion at some point soon.
Titus - unsure. Tonally different from scumgame but voting is a little strange.
Aureal - unsure. Tonally seems town and just like past towngames but not packing enough of a punch to be a TR just yet.


Meuh - scum based on posting and voting. I don't get the TRs here at all.
Afrayed Knott - scum. Vote priority urgent.
I feel this has barely any effort put into it (and I feel mean saying that if you did put effort into it, sorry). Like anyone could come up with me/HT/DD being town and the rest of the reads feel surface level-ey if not outright fake:
Which posts of HPE do you agree with? I don't feel it voiced much opinions this game (it mainly said that it was unsure about a bunch of things iirc)
And are you seriously putting Knott as your top scumread based on his whack entrance?
How is Ircher town by VCA and scum by posts?

You need to pick a line of attack here. Is it busy work to get townread or is it low effort lazy scumplay? It's neither, because the point of it is to show what my reads are in the hope I'll be judged on them and on subsequent flips. I didn't feel the need to quote every post to justify a read, nor was the idea to put in really deep thoughts to display my own alignment.

I don't think my reads were completely consensus either.

Main thing I like from HPE is the Afrayed scumread.

Ircher is town by VCA because he was E-1 early on D1, and scum by posts because his posts are scummy. Also scummy for lack of posts after E-1.

Putting Afrayed Knott last because I feel confident in this read and I want to underline it to get more votes on him.
isn't just wack, it's really scummy. The 'random' vote is ostentatiously explained, comments about pages and colour are robotically dry, mention of being mislimmed D1 in a previous game is subtle ATE, ends with a plea for a D1 pass just unashamed survivalism.

Subsequent posts are nearly all jokes of some kind, the voting and unvoting of Ircher with no explanation is also best explained by a Scum/Town dynamic there.


Hmmmm fine you explained your reads rather satisfactorily for now. You get an unvote! Don't spend it all at once though!

UNVOTE: Furtive

In other news, I reread some posts by Titus and most of her reads feel reachy af so I'm down to consolidate on her. VOTE: Titus

ALSO, Sailor Moon has convinced me that Afrayed could be scum so I don't MIND voting him later.
Even my signature is green :)
