I would actually like to see a response to this from Shoshin.
At the time JJD posted this, Rampage was my top scumread because his initial post felt fearful (the "checking in" language doesn't fit with RVS), self-conscious (changing his vote because someone else took it), and overly-try-hard (putting way too much thought on who to vote in RVS), and his follow-up confirmed how much thought he had put into that first post (more than I'd expect from town Rampage). That, and all the things others have said - he's made no attempt to find scum, he threw an attack my way but nowhere else (consistent with inexperienced scum who respond to attacks by voting their attacker, especially when others are also voting the attacker).

The reason I had posted so much about JJD but little about Rampage is because I received lots of questions about JJD and little about Rampage, and also because there was no need to say anything about Rampage because others were realizing he was scummy on their own. In general, I'd rather say less than more when it comes to explaining my reads/votes, because I try to influence how others think about the game as little as possible until we reach end of day. But I'm realizing that the meta on this site is a bit backwards, or undeveloped, so people keep getting on my case for saying too little - so fuck it, I'll start posting more walls and explaining exactly what I'm thinking, because as much as I think it's less effective in a better meta, the meta on this site clearly requires an adaptation to my style. Oh well.

There's another issue I had with Rampage earlier that I forgot about but just remembered upon rereading - the whole "trap" thing assumes that I'm town, which means Rampage thinks I'm town but refuses to actually take that position, and to the contrary, actually sets himself up to eventually vote me down-the-road (not to mention that he was actively trying to discredit what I was saying, despite Rampage's claims that he wasn't defending himself). More recently, this post bothers me:

In post 132, TheRampage wrote:I have to agree with Jar Jar right there. I mean, you have seriously pushed for me for the majority of the game; and while I would appreciate being one less vote, I think it is fishy that with very little proof or reason, you would go after Jar Jar before me.
This kind of post is why I scum read Rampage. This post is awkward, defensive, and out of tune with the game.
How is what I am saying defensive? I am questioning some one's read. I do nothing at all to defend myself from Shoshin's vote on me. I have not even voted because to me right now, there is no one that really stands out. I have this feeling like you have a little bit of tunnel vision. I think the saying, I could cure cancer and you would find fault in it, applies to you. I personally think your reason for voting me or find me scummy is weak, which is why I haven't addressed it, but now I will. As I said before, I think Shoshin tried to trap scum by giving a bad reason for voting me to see how I would react and to see how others would react. You however have some how developed an even worse reason to vote for me and are actually sticking to it. I feel like because you are a few votes down, you feel like you can try to direct and lead people towards my lynch, and you will then fall off into obscurity when I flip town. I have had a gut feeling about you since you appeared in the game, and now I feel more so.

VOTE: Jodaxq
It shows what I suspected, which is that Rampage self-consciously thinks he was doing nothing to defend himself (even though he was clearly trying to discredit my vote and setting up for voting me down-the-road), Rampage thinks that was town of him to do (it shows a very cautious mindset), and he continues to suggest that I'm town (the "trap" analysis) while making other posts that suggest I'm scum.

I disagree with your "no attempt to find scum" quip on TheRampage: look like scumhunting to me (regardless of the actual quality of the posts). He also attacked Jodaxq by voting her, which invalidates your claim.

As for the meta: I seem to be doing okay with less frequent, shorter posts. Maybe that's just because people aren't asking me many questions since they're too busy bickering about if a post I made in page 1 is bad or not.

As for TheRampage's wishy-washy reads: I'm reading him as a
Town Village Idiot
for things I mentioned back in and .

Re: Rampage - I strongly disagree. How do 80, 132, and 198 evidence any scumhunting? How is voting Jodax anything but defensive under the circumstances?

TheRampage directly read a post as scum. That's direct scumhunting. I didn't say voting Joda wasn't defensive, I said it invalidated your claim of him only attacking you.

Meta: I don't recall ever doing that.

I knew he attacked others but I meant up to the point when JJD voted me again.

Just checked those posts. I definitely wouldn’t classify those as scum hunting.

As for people bickering about a post you made on page 1, all posts matter. You don’t get a free pass just cause it was said on page 1.

Man more that I think about it, the more I seriously Fn hate tex's post here.

How are you gonna critisize people taking about what's going on in the game when you haven't contributed a lick to the discussion?

gonna UNVOTE: Shoshin for now

Latest bunch of posts seem decent and she does scumread the same people as me at least. Plus she's super active which I generally don't like to lynch in games with a bunch of lurkers.


lets VOTE: TheRampage
some reasoning here:
Spoiler:

TheRampage
- scum. his seems to shade shoshin a bit but is very reluctant to vote there. Also he hasn't talk about another player in the game (aside from his most recent terribad vote for joda)

Plus 2 of my townreads are on the wagon which is a good sign.
