This nitpicky and so is
72 but I think Prism might just that kind of player and that it's null, but I'm going to look through the games she linked to check.
Scum:
In
Mini 1838, the main thing that's sticking out at me is she goes on these rambles about mafia theory here and there. She's not particularly nitpicky though; she's careful to attack people for reasons she can substantiate, call their posts bad or says she doesn't like their vote or whatever but doesn't get nitpicky about language actually. There's another thing she's doing here that I don't want to say what it is in case it turns out to be an actual tell for her.
In
Owners Market, she again spends a while early on talking about mafia theory and setup stuff. Doesn't do the thing I noticed in 1838 though so maybe not an actual tell.
In
Sakura wars she seems to be signing in her hydra so I'll read it. She does the setup spec thing again !!! Also, I think Prism as scum realises that this kind of nitpicky stuff that pings her as town just isn't compelling to anybody but her so she doesn't bother trying to emulate it because nitpicking and semantics are usually considered a scumtell.
Miss list - more setup spec, no nitpicking.
Town:
Newbie 1805 - she does do some setup spec here because it's a newbie and she likes that bp strategy but she doesn't open with it. she's not as distracted by it as she gets in her scumgames. Also, some of the other posts in her iso make it clear that she didn't start it. Also, she seems to be sort of filling in as an SE for a string of absentee ICs. I'll be more interested in if she does this outside the newbie queue. She's also a lot less nitpicky than she was here, at least early on.
British Monarchy - she opens nitpicking a smiley, and then someone's use of the phrase "never change". And she doesn't get distracted by rambling about mafia theory or setup spec!
Trial of the Evoker - she opens respondign to some setup spec but calls ita distraction and says she doesn't want to talk about it anymore. she does get distracted whining about hydras. Someone else accuses of her nitpicking in here and she says she's not being nitpicky. she's not being nitpicky the way she was this game but her reads do have a bit of squirrlyness to them like she's thinking several layers deep and squinting really hard. I think as scum she relies more on charisma and presenting her thoughts in ways others will find compelling than she does even in games like this where she's not being that nitpicky. Also, she uses a lot of bold in her ISO here which is what I was noticing in the first scum game I looked at and remembering she hadn't used much bold here but I think now that this just doesn't mean anything either way, some games she uses more some games she uses less and it doesn't seem correlated with her alignment at all.
Buttersnap - Opens with a little setup spec. maybe that's not a tell for her. ohhhh she seems to have a post restriction that she has to talk about the mod or praise him in all her posts. that kind of explains the setup talk. k. she's also coming in fairly late here and I can't figure out what she's saying in her first substantial post at all. Scum vegito attacks her for nitpicking here actually and she defends her right to find things noteworthy that other people don't care about. I can't understand any of her poitns in 417 either. what the hell. I'm kinda dizzy too. gonna move on to the next game.
perfect blue - i can't understand any of these posts
i think they're not about setup spec?
can't words anymore, maybe more words later today. thought it was gonna scumread her entrance but now think this nitpicking not trying to be compelling more likely town but need to read rest of iso need to think more. just this snetrance is a better time that it thought it were
