Hey you got one, can the crusade against the mod stop now?

[AaronFrost]

It's not a random vote, so yeah.

I dislike the lack of commital to an actual vote. Emps jumped on the meme without actually doing anything.

I mean Menalque did the same thing. No comment on that?

[AaronFrost]

no, i'm voting you because i have a feeling that your entire rvs phase so far feels ungenuine

Same thing could be said about all the people who have joke voted the mod honestly

[AaronFrost]

I mean you're saying WHAT you're scum reading but I'm not seeing any WHY here. Elaborate?

Basically it felt like you were trying a little 'too' hard to do things early on. Like the thing with the meta dive on my intro post, what exactly was that supposed to accomplish? It's like pseudo-scumhunting and doesn't actually accomplish anything wrt sorting my slot.

[AaronFrost]

like seriously

that would be his 5th(?) scumgame in a row?

Gambler's fallacy dude. Don't fall into that trap

Why

[AaronFrost]

There was plenty of game discussion happening with Icon/HH and Icon/Aldus and you continue to joke vote the mod because... why?

[AaronFrost]

also in Micro 900 when scum!you was pressed on Day 3 to explain yourself you kinda flubbed it hard and this is reminding me of that a bit

That's a different situation from right now, early in Day 1, where most players' reads are probably wrong

[AaronFrost]

i want to state, for the record, that i don't think i'm currently flubbing

+1

Icon is townie

[Menalque]

Because I wanted to

Why is it bad?

[Menalque]

Do you think it’s scum!indicative for me? If so, why?

[AaronFrost]

A little, yes because I think you're trying to distract from any conversation that is happening at the moment.

Like I get that if you're good friends with the mod and you want to joke around 'lynching them to overthrow them' during early game then that's fine, but you continuing to do it once we were out of RVS was a little sketchy imo.

[Menalque]

Why was that distracting from the conversation considering the conversation kept happening around it and I didn’t really try to draw anyone else into it?

Also, significantly, why does scum!me choose to do that

[Menalque]

Like if you want to argue that it’s scum indicative for me you need to have a clear reason for why that particular behaviour is more likely to come from scum!me than town!me

What benefit do I get?

Also why would scum!me want to distract in that conversation?

Ugh. . . God I hate this like weird thing on this site where people comment on either the premature termination of or the artificial extension of RVS. Theres not like a clear line of demarcation of when RVS is either happening or over. I legit want to study whether the first person that makes a comment one way or the other about RVS is a town or scum tell, because it happens in almost every game I'm in, and for some reason I haven't checked whether it comes more often from scum or town, but it becomes like a 2 or 3 page distraction every time someone brings it up. Can we please not do that here?

Why would that be any sort of tell vs completely NAI

[AaronFrost]

It's a way to look like you're contributing without actually taking a stance on anything.

I'm not sure that scum!you chooses to do that, but I'm also not sure why town!you chooses to do it either. Either way, it isn't very helpful when trying to sort your slot.

PEDIT: Whether or not we were in RVS isn't the point and maybe I should've phrased that differently. The point is, people were posting AI content and discussion was happening, and Mena continued with the meme.

Scum!you would want to do that if your partner wasnt handling themselves well and they were involved in the conversation, but it would be super sus, especially after a flip, so overall I'm leaning towards this being too attention grabby for your scumplay, particularly after the postgame conversation in Newbie 1971. That and your interaction after us are why I felt like it wasnt scum indicative for you.

I'm curious why Aaron went back and talked about it though. @Aaron, you caught up yet? Also Mena, you heard from Aaron, where are your reads at?

Was that a question to me?

[AaronFrost]

Almost. I'm on like page 10. I was reading from like page 4 since that's where I left off when I last checked the game.

How does it look like I’m contributing at all? I think voting the mod is quite clearly a sign that I was memeing rather than contributing and idk why you think that a vote for the mod is an attempt to look like I’m contributing

[AaronFrost]

@Aaron- forgot you were in the game. You're on this wagon, what do you make of the past 5 pages of interactions.

I'm content with my Aldus vote for now. I think Icon comes off as having a pretty townie/solvey mindset while Aldus got weirdly and needlessly defensive of HH.
