The "I hate being scumread for this" thread

[DragonEater70]

Post ITT things you hate being scumread for (as town, or as scum, or both).

I'll start:
I hate being scumread for not posting in one game but posting in another game. It happens too often as both alignments.

[Ythan]

Not yelling and tunnelling.

[Alianna]

Self-awareness.

Surely this is a violation of the rule against discussing ongoing games? Mentioning someone is in other games is okay, but talking about activity level is describing content from there.

You can get away with it if you find cross site activity outside of mafia games (e.g. posting in mafia discussion) or wait for the game to finish

I love getting scumread though

Post what you hate getting townread for.

Yelling and tunnelling lol.

[ORAM]

Seeming uncertain and nervous, and "overexplaining" when not explaining makes it look like moon logic. Add sounding stiff or stilted to the list too. All of this is just ORAM indicative, not scum indicative

[usesPython]

Not being able to explain intuitive reads

Refusing to engage when pressed

Moonlogic

I mainly dislike low-depth scumreads that don’t actually probe into anything meaningful and just go “grr I don’t like this so it’s scummy”

[Cook]

being asked to explain intuitive reads

[T-Bone]

I don't get scumread be cause I'm not a pleb but I do dislike vague meta reasons to scumread someone.

[Dannflor]

you're good at scum / you fooled me once ergo you don't deserve to be town read ergo im not gonna bother trying to read you at all

I have a pretty busy work life so I make it a point to never intentionally lurk or be inactive as town or scum. If I'm not posting it's just because I got busy and isn't indicative of alignment. Not that activity/inactivity is a great scumtell anyway.

Surface level meta-reads, just because I did X in a mafia game doesn't mean it's wolfy goddamn it

[OopsieDaisy]

for me it's getting scumread for wanting to look townie. it can be v scummy for others but i just think the game is easier as town or mafia when you're in a comfy spot.

[RH9]

i hate been scumread for the same reason i hate being townread for; i.e. people misreading my playstyle as alignment-indicative

Actually, in this game that just ended you have a player who never even posted outside of game threads (TP), being called out for ellitelling (posting in other games but not this one):

Very much feels like they're trying to appear to be doing more than they are doing

but yeah if I'm going to respond to that request to towncase T3 then I will do it in real time, because I think I've set out quite succinctly what makes T3 town and it's there if you actually look for it

TP has recently been ellitelling too - she asked jjh to towncase me, jjh said something to the effect of "I'll point the specific posts out to you at some point," at which point TP visited the site and posted elsewhere but didn't do anything here despite jjh's response.

But it's somehow acceptable due to weasel wording that doesn't directly mention the other game.
