I dont get a very scummy read from you but i could be wrong nonetheless. Plus with only a few days left of day 1 it seems like we need to pull our fingers out and make a decision on who to lynch. I know its a shitty reason/explanation but its our first game after all.
How is this town, RC?

Yeahhhhhhhh okay my philosophy at this point is there's too many people doing terrible and anti-town shit and hiding behind 'oh I'm a newbie.'

It's time to start clearing out that crowd of people.

I'm deciding if I'd rather vote Fykus or JackChaos.

Partially cause he voted for me, and partially because i dont think there would be 2 inexperienced scums on their first game (thered be 1 experienced person there to guide the other newbie).
Newbscum often votes the IC in RVS.
In post 110, Fykus wrote:UNVOTE: TierShift

Undoing my vote on TS for now, just because some coherent arguments for some other people here are starting to appear. I'll withhold my vote for now.
You say there are coherent arguments for other players being Scum, but simply unvote instead of support one of those arguments.

Cautious scum tell.
In post 440, Fykus wrote:Then in the next post he just up and ragequits. Like, if thats not Toto admitting he fucked up trying to pretend hes not scum then I dont know what is.
"Aha, you did this thing that independently proves you are Scum"

I call it the "gotcha tell". Town does gotchas too, but you're really putting in the work to sell this one.
In post 507, Fykus wrote:Why would a townie need to ask about the existence of day talk between scum members? Ofcourse youd want to know this if you were scum, but you wouldnt want to seem scummy by asking about it so youd phrase it this exact way by mentioning the OP.
Scummy shade casting.

These two quotes are a lot of work to try and look town and you don't actually ask any questions in them to try to read me.

All you were concerned about were appearances.

This doesn't make sense from a town mindset at all.

If you're town and you just let yourself die, who does that help?
Naw it's my first game. If someone wants to think I'm scum and hang me, I'll laugh my ass off.

Resigned scum? As if, if i was scum id be trying to pull all sorts of shit out of my ass trying to get this wagon off of me, but i would of been acting entirely different for the entire game so i wouldnt have this issue right now. Frankly i didnt pick apart your post because there isnt much to pick apart except for maybe 1 or two parts of it when you said i was "scummy shade casting".

Basically i copied the player list from page 1 and colour coded the people i thought were scummy but forgot to put them in towniest to scummiest order. You say its noob town (which is correct) but then you vote for me anyway?

No, its a new player admitting he made a fool of himself and withholding his vote for a while. But anyways if youd like me to vote on somebody ill go back to my original opinion re: toto.

I'll be around today. Yesterday was the first time I've seen my daughter in about a week, and as much as I like you chuckle fucks, I love that little girl to pieces and we had some cuddle time scheduled on the couch.

I'll be honest here too, I hate the tone this game has taken. I hated Toto for being over the top and cocksure about what he was doing, especially since I know that his initial premise was faulty to begin with. I really don't like the attitudes of RC or Grey from the little I've read in the last few days. RC scolded me here
In post 396, RadiantCowbells wrote:And formerfish get the fuck over yourself I'm the saltiest mafia player ever and I don't rage at newbies for being newbies in the fucking newbie queue.
and then berates newbies left and right. I don't like the empty statements about how someone was obviously town, and then have nothing to back it up with. RC you and Grey both pulled that one.

So here's what I am doing. I am resetting my reads.

Tiershift needs prodded and needs to be put into a chair in the middle of a dark room with one weak ass light over him. Tier, you have been basically non-existent in this game, which wouldn't normally be an issue, but you are the IC. You claimed at one point that you wanted to keep your reads to yourself so that you didn't influence people. Then you naked voted and called for people to sheep you. Wouldn't you rather someone sheep a well thought out and logical read on someone than a naked vote. How can the rest of us sort you if we never see the man behind the curtain?

This is exactly what I'm talking about, and especially when I talked about resetting all of my reads. (Which I guess to me means going back and reading everything over, but that might not be as obvious to everyone)

I think that I've found something scummy. I am going to explore that to see if I'm right or wrong.

Do you have a case on someone you want to make sure I read, then point it out. If you don't like my vote explain why it's a bad choice and who a better one would be. Jesus.
