Have reread. Instant gut reactions -
Prozac is still scummy. Primate had a couple of posts that really pinged badly on reread. FenCes very town. CDB has a couple of very town pings on reread.
Details, I guess
CDB looking town:
The initial CDB wagon and his reaction have me a bit skeptical, and CDB deffo gets flustered when wagoned as scum, so I was kinda interested. So I pushed him -
Well, it's irrational, but here's the thought process, more or less:
1) So I say something awkward/recognise that people think I said something awkward
2) Aware that if I say something else awkward, maybe it'll snowball and I'll get lynched (as has happened before)
3) Aware that nothing else is happening in this game right now so people are going to be particularly keen to get things going, looks like that's going to be on me
4) Because nothing else is happening in this game right now, there's not a lot about which I can think other than how people are thinking about me
I mean, ultimately I'm reasonably confident that after a bit of pressure people should realise that I'm town, and of course the game has to start somewhere, but right now the game's set up for me to be very self-conscious, so here I am. I guess this is what early votes are for? It's just more helpful to me when they poke at people whose alignments I don't already know.
I just like this post, I think. The thought process in the last paragraph in particular feels townie - focus on how it helps town.
I also like the way he develops his read on nexus. Felt natural.
FenCes - again, like I said, I really just like the double header giving feedback on internal discussions. The scumhunting somehow looks more genuine that way? Also the part where Fen mentioned she almost did something scummy - I liked that discussion.
Prozac is the scumlord - he gets the initial wagon. I assume this is all jokey votey cause seriously he's being voted for stats.
The issue is that I can't argue with statistics. It also doesn't represent a single game. So it immediately took me out of this game. I can joke about it, but it's a pretty nasty (and unintentional, I presume) way to make me start on the back foot, regardless of alignment. Post 10 shows my feelings in regards to that. After that the game took off, I didn't have a place in those conversations (or that much of an interest). The baseless vote was to get me involved. Which it did.
Find it really off that this makes him flustered - its a joke vote, right? Like, those stats votes weren't serious. Compared to the CDB wagon where it's getting serious and thus the fluster makes a bit of sense. It's also worse because that's not his initial reaction - instead he's just joking around still with random votes n shit - so why would the early wagon make him flustered? It feels incongruous. Similar feeling to the point I raised yesterday. (push nexus, then complain he doesn't have a read on the game - which is it buddy?)
Elmo vote is super off too that demands an explanation. But no one has demanded it. Hey, prozac, I demand you explain!
Um, that leaves Primate -

Ampersand is being helpful. I retract my earlier read on CDB as now he's acting self-concious in an honest way and that's good I guess. Nexus seems ballsy and happy so cdbs read is one i share a bit, though his is more grounded in realism.
I get the inspo thing, but I don't think he's been overly town, but then not overly scum either. He's pretty honest so I'd lean town if forced to it, but there's not much there.
re: poro the stats thing was obvious guff so eh, there's nothing in that unless I'm missing something. I think he's been mostly town but I don't have much faith in that read because I've put no time into it.
Amper asked for a vote so
vote Shanba
. He's probably scum.
I still feel like an observer bye.
I just hate this post. The first sentence is a massive ping for me because that describes basically any game I am scum - appreciate it may be different for different players.
No real read on elmo. I got a distinctly scummy vibe from inspie, was surprised to find myself disagreeing, then more surprised to realise he got repalaced died last night and was town, so that's a thing.
Is nexus actually readable legit question.
