Perfect Masquerade [Game Over]

[Lady 7]

Lady 5 rolled scum tbh

Did the asking if we wanted the smileys to stop rub you wrong too?

~.~ Rub who wrong?

Me. It hit me wrong.

[Gentleman 3]

Me. It hit me wrong.

What about it? You think it was overly conciliatory?

[Lady 4]

Me. It hit me wrong.

Let's let the lady speak without supplying her with answers.

[Lady 9]

Hello. I wish we had more memorable names.

We could come up with memorable nicknames based on avatars. That might be easier than numbering everyone.

That would help me a lot. Can we do this?

Be the change you wish to see!

By the way, I was serious about my town read on Lady 7. Just off the first page she immediately comes off as much more carefree and unconcerned about self-image in her tone. Dawn's memey posting seems a lot more forced by comparison. Lady 5/Dawn why did you ignore #30?

Misty can join my early early town leans too.

Me. It hit me wrong.

I think overall her posting has been forced and that post in particular was too concerned with how people view her slot. Townies can read like that sometimes but it's more often a scum trait,

especially

in the early game where establishing yourself can be awkward.

[Gentleman 3]

I think L7 is > rand town as well, but not for anything before 19.

[Lady 7]

Felt a little nervous right outside the gate. As far as smileys go, those are the least offensive so why be concerned others would be bothere?

Could be personality, hadn’t planned on saying anything about it until I watched her a bit but eh

[Lady 2]

Eh, the smileys themselves feel a little overdone and forced, to me no more or less than the offer to tone them down. But I suppose some at the masque feel some attraction in the idea of putting up a different front than usual. Might just be neutral. But it does feel like one extra barrier to get through to read her.

F in chat for lady 5 sorry babe

<_> Lady 3 rolled Neutral.

Also, I find this a weird response to a scum read.

I think L7 is > rand town as well, but not for anything before 19.

My read has definitely gotten stronger since then. But I wanted to put something out there early and I find RVS/early-game tone is the best way to generate that.

Do you have any other > rand town reads, Gent 3?

[Lady 7]

Is this a real thoight?

Do you think people routinely point out a post that bugged them and need an answer supplied to them?

I mean posts do bug me sometimes and I don’t know why, but still this reaction feels weird.

[Gentleman 3]

Hmmmmm.

No.

[Gentleman 3]

I mean posts do bug me sometimes and I don’t know why, but still this reaction feels weird.

Eh, I think it was reasonable. It's best practice to not suggest a possible answer when you ask for an explanation of something, because you could be signaling to scum exactly how to tell you what you want to hear.

I was aware of this, but I figured the risk was minimal because it's only page 3 anyway, and trying to jump-start discussion was more important.

[Lady 4]

Not sure if I lack reads because I'm distracted -- having a weird af day today friends -- or because of the nonmemorable names.

Gentleman 3 is now Crowman. I can do Dawn and Misty. Is Lady 9's avatar Celeste? Lady 2 can be... Eyes? 7 will just have to be 7, hope no one else is a number.

Valid point. I don't know why I posted that.

I have a bad habit of butting into conversations. I'll try to stop.

[Gentleman 3]

Speaking of being overly conciliatory.

[Lady 7]

I will not remember anyone’s nick name.

It's not strange to lack reads ~3 pages into the game. Do you usually have a lot of reads this early?

My avatar is Madeline from Celeste, yes. I don't mind if people want to call me Madeline.

[Lady 8]

Hi everyone! owo

[Lady 4]

Do you usually have a lot of reads this early?

No, but these early pages seem better than usual.

[Lady 4]

Speaking of being overly conciliatory.

I'm so sorry for being conciliatory. Is there anything I can do to make it up to you?

[Gentleman 3]

Hi everyone! owo

I see your owo and raise you an uwu.

Also yet another lady pops in. Where are my bros at??

[Gentleman 3]

Please ignore the unfortunate post number of the previous comment.

This lady seems like they rolled town. I hope they get asked to the dance.

I guess? I just think more often than not, people have an answer, and the jump in at that stage felt a little like a way to sound pro-town than actually being concerned at that point.

Oh ^_^ I just don’t want to make anyone mad.
That’s all!
