Perfect Masquerade [Game Over]

[Gentleman 3]

L5, what made you think that the smiley faces might bother someone?

[Lady 7]

I read Dawn's posts while pretending the smileys weren't there and I now like them. Also, this is weak but don't think using them is a quality scum tactic at first glance. It's bound to rub some the wrong way.

People care about smiley use?

The use of smileys isn’t alignment indicative. That wasn’t even part of the critique.

Maybe not deliberately, but yes, I think small things like that affect people. I also think that avatars play into reads on a subconscious level.

At least one person mentioned it.

If you’re referring to my scumread on g3 because he had too many birds in his avatar, that was a joke.

[Lady 9]

It seems initially scummy and lessens your chances of getting asked to the dance because it seems like you're afraid of engaging in a read of a player.

Why does a joke suggest that she's afraid of making a read?

The question isn't directed at me, but I want to point out that it seems to me like Lady 5 is specifically avoiding making non-joke posts. She's ignored my more serious posts twice now. Joking is fine but she doesn't have any non-jokey content yet.

I would think the smiley's would be a pre-decided roleplay quirk regardless of alignment. The potentially AI part was the asking if the quirk bothered anyone.

Possibly. And I can see the latter as appeasing.

The more significant part of 75 was that I think their posts are town aside from this issue anyhow.

[Gentleman 3]

That assumes it is a joke.

She literally just said it was...

[Lady 8]

Well if the post came off scummy that’s entirely your point of view! ^_^
I seen it as a joke.
I didn’t think they were serious of their read so I didn’t feel a reason to take it seriously.
^_^
My bad if it came up bad, don’t shade me though based off of that.
Every Lady has an equal chance to get asked out! ^_^

I actually don't think it's scum indicative but I feel like it could of been interpreted as one.

Do you actually think I’m that stupid to believe a Neutral exists in this setup?

This conversation is for the birds.

[Lady 4]

I am already getting the impression Madeline is a more accomplished scumhunter than I.

I interpret that apathy as townie. I think that scum care a lot more about getting town read than town do right now.

Nevermind.

I was referencing that if she was scum, it would of been a nice cover up.

Can you be more specific? What exactly do you find townie in her posts?

Hey! This feels like your real tone.

Now now. It would take more then that to make me slip if I was scum. ^_^

Partially correct. I would argue that strong scum hunters and players with huge ego care about getting town read more.

I think the jokey/blending-in playstyle can be a strategy to get widely town read in itself though.

[Gentleman 3]

Hey! This feels like your real tone.

That it does. Good call.

Now now. We don’t talk about our mains here!
We are here to dance and have fun!

Neutral is synonymous with null I would argue.

“69”

:3
I still can’t get over that funny theory.

[Lady 8]

Why are we arguing whether smiley faces are AI?

That is not a main guess.

[Lady 9]

I think that's an oversimplification of the discussion. But anyway, offer something else to talk about if you have a problem with it.

Gentleman 9 isn't even in the game lol.

[Gentleman 6]

I agree that town carry playstyles will also want to show themselves to be town quickly.

But I don't think that avoiding serious talk in the early game when prompted to is a scumtell and I would lean it and Lady 5 the other way.
