ok

[quote=VysePresident]In my experience, as a general rule, scum tend to shy away from engaging in RVS - with the distinction that by engaging, I mean actually pushing the game forward and making commitments. Scum have a tendency to play safe, and while this particular tell is very dependent on context and personality, I've noticed Scum will often banter during RVS if they feel the need to sound like they're contributing, and nudge in the general direction of perceived vulnerability.[/quote]

could you tell me more concretely what you think the difference between earlygame town and earlygame scum posts are

[Psyche]

godel is just vry earnest/new; i understand the suspicion but the claim feels genuine

think ahsoka is probably town; don't think scum would pull the "I think Godel might still be scum" thing. People have a habit of thinking that arguments they believe are more convincing than they actually are, and scum *know* if Godel is telling the truth (which he is), so I'd say scum are more likely to outwardly trust Godel claim than town. Don't think her reads are quality at all though tbh.

town lean on noteworthy/vyse for the style of his reads and because ahsoka townreads him, but just a small town lean; he also still takes seriously the idea that Godel is scum

ok where does that leave me

02. Killthestory
03. TrueGent
04. BurnMyDread
08. Assemblerotws

i only recognize kts what's going on

[Psyche]

oh truegent is the anime avatar
null is about right

[Psyche]

burnthedread's reaction to kts seems appropriate but not much to run on; the pattern of inactivity is hard to read too

[Psyche]

leave the assemblerotws read for tomorrow...

[Psyche]

if i had to kill someone right now it would be kts; the difference between his engagement and the effort he's put into this game is pretty huge

[Psyche]

do you think kts is the sort to tryhard when he's scum?

[Psyche]

@Psyche - Where do you get that I'm taking Godel = Scum as a likely possibility right now? Can't tell if you're Townreading or Scumreading me for this, but it's not accurate regardless. Unless I'm misunderstanding the fruit vendor role (Which nobody has clarified for me yet - isn't it impossible for a fruit vendor to take an action other than fruit vending? :/ ), it doesn't seem to be a great fakeclaim choice, and ought to be pretty obvious prior to endgame if so.

oh ok i misread

disagree that scum are particularly bad at making original content; they can actually be more comfortable throwing around ideas because they don't have to worry about the ideas being right

[Psyche]

pocketed?

[Psyche]

seems to be continuously paying attention to the game but has contributed proportionally little content to it

[Psyche]

ooh la la formatting

main beef with the list seems to be that you seem to uniformly equate activity/contribution with scumhood when scum can do that pretty decently themselves
i cant seem to avoid that either though

[Psyche]

assemble's not a bad choice

[Psyche]

Well I was writing a long, train of thought post and accidentally deleted my tab.

there's this cool extension called Lazarus you should get it

[Psyche]

that's a bit premature and annoying kts

[Psyche]

oh it's not a lynch okay

[Psyche]

but you thought it was?
you don't even think we should seek a roleclaim yet?

[Psyche]

by the way, the mod didn't post a sample VT role pm and there's a lot of reason to think the ability descriptions are consistent across VTs, so the first time someone claims VT, we should be able to test it

[Psyche]

no one told me it was role madness ok then

[Psyche]

@Psyche - Assemble has posted since he has been at L-1(unless silimaris vote doesn't count)

so?

[Psyche]

no one gave intent to hammer

[Psyche]

i mean, you just said yourself it's role madness - even if he doesn't offer a claim, shouldn't we be seeking one out?
i'm sure no one here is super sure that assemble is scum; what's the point in rushing this, at a moment that lots of people have indicated they plan to make actually helpful posts before Day's end?

[Psyche]

its a really dumb play as town and a gambit at best as scum there's really no other way to put it

[Psyche]

its just too easy a gambit given his meta, especially if in this role madness setup he has something to protect him from investigative roles or other PRs

[Psyche]

i didn't follow the rest of the game but kts you really blew D1 there's no excuse for quicklynching like that
