Okay after seeing Luka talk more I understand why he scumread me originally for thinking it was a pocket attempt on Overcat. I will agree it's possible that scum jumped on Luka quickly after that. Not sure why people didn't wait for Luka to clarify the statements.-

I was voting you to smooth out the TMI shit, which I want to wait for Overcat to respond to my question before I comment much further on that in particular. Maybe this is a philosophical difference but my aggression read on you is a single argument, I don't care how strong an argument is really. If it's singular, there's a chance it could be NAI with me not knowing how to differentiate it so I want to cover many different bases.-

Openly admitting to being anxious about being voted strikes me as towny, because my instinct as scum is "be cool, don't overreact" when I get an early vote. Particularly as newb scum I would be trying to put on an "I don't even care that I got voted" front, but Overcat just flat out says they do care which is probably a genuine non-contrived reaction and so a town one.In post 32, Overcat wrote: Being voted as soon as I join my first game. Anxiety inducing.

Note to self, skim Luca's scum games to see if there's precedent for them going aggro early on.In post 62, JacksonVirgo wrote: Luka is being quite antagonistic which inherently makes me want to vote them, I don't think they're actually scummy though. This could be overcorrection but I don't think scum!luka would be this aggressive this early. Especially when immediately discounting your words like he had. It's not nice, but I don't think it's scummy
JV gets a townpoint for the sudden about-face. I think scum psyching themselves up to vote Luka just doesn't make post #62 first.
I don't really get it but I'm happy to give them a chance to explain it. I have seen plenty of reads I don't really get come from town.In post 77, Hu Tao wrote: Thoughts on Luka saying cat is scummy?

Townpoint to Hu Tao for trying to make their position and trajectory transparent at the expense of a clean narrative. (Either "I just meant I like them as a player" or "I was/am townreading them because..." would be cleaner narratives that would be easier to pick if you are just making something up)In post 96, Hu Tao wrote:

I like this for now. No one really has a strong ISO yet but this is the weakest of the lot. The only opinion they've expressed so far is "I like 36" which is... fine, I like 36 too, but that's not even so much as a read if they don't say more than that about it.

can you point us to any push in particular that you didn't like?
what made you uncomfortable about the push on Luka?
am finding it a bit hard to get in to your head on this one considering the pushes are mostly just questions used to get to understand Luka's early reads.Ceejay is only gonna get better but his logic can be on the wrong side of lazy logic sometimes. ~the worst-

Good morning!
ceejay is a pretty strong town read of mine. I think a problem with forum games is that people are a bit too forgiving, and they may tend to go after people who are less charismatic rather than less towny. I'm very unhappy at the idea of votes being taken of Luka my biggest scum read onto ceejay who is a trust of mine at the moment. It's like we have two people that we are suspecting of doing a crime. One has tattoos covering them, blood on their hands, and a constant facial twitch, the other just happened to be found in the area the crime was committed. Leave ceejay alone.-

You're going to declare someone the top suspect based on their tattoos and motor tics? Yikes.
Also that analogy has no persuasive force. You have to actually say why Luka is more suspect and Ceejay less so, you can't just say what they're "like."“There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say, ‘There are two kinds of people in this world: those who say there are two kinds of people in this world,and the other kind,’ and those whodon’tsay.

This about hits the nail on the head btw. A strong difference between Luka and Jackson, is Jackson asked some good questions, whereas Luka voted in order to create reads, and then defended themselves from attack. My philosophy is that people who ask questions and behave like detectives are good, and people who speak like politicians are bad.In post 118, ceejayvinoya wrote:In post 91, Luka wrote:In post 29, JacksonVirgo wrote:SmhIn post 17, JacksonVirgo wrote: Spoiler: My extremely townie introductionIn post 18, JacksonVirgo wrote: Guys, this "Not Voting" fella has like NO resistance!
