Actually I don't want to go about ank because I'm not passing the ball at fark.

(also I don't have any real opinion on ank so there's that)

Do you really think that Fark opening post is something positive Vex?

In post 82, Farkran wrote:Hi everyone, i'm the king of readlists

I don't think gif is powerscumming already so he may be town for now

Early A50 posts are scum standard, don't like them at all

Don't like chennisden introduction

Don't like maria introduction but less so than chen's

Like volxen

I think i like anka reactions

Kuribo is gut town

My neighborhood looks town so far

Everyone else null

VOTE: a50
It's page 4 and he throws a big read list

Do you think normal uninformed reaction here is to be "mmm ok" with it?

Have you ever played with Fark before? What's your take on heavy logical players?

i don't feel like the normal reaction from others is to be like "ok, that's fine" to it, but rather question it, especially since it was page four. although, i do feel like fark posting something like that is probably more likely to come from town rather than scum. i don't really see scum making an intro post like that, much less one that would get questioned/help push the game out of rvs.

i personally haven't played with fark, nor have i really tried to read any of their past games—much less read anyone else's past games for that matter. as for my take on heavy logical players, i don't really care that much. i tend to play very logically regardless, so... i personally feel like people who play that way should be sorted earlier than others, simply because it can easily be done with both sides, and sound logic can be very convincing.

pedit: no, just thinking how to reply

i feel like it's only fair i should ask this in reply as well: what are your thoughts on fark's opening post?

Personally my opinion of Fark's list is "bad."
Not alignment-indicative. Just bad.
Farkran how confident are you in your scum game?

@volpe generally speaking i understand your concerns but surely you must have some thoughts about anka now, if not about him directly, you should have noticed some people revolving around him

From your posts i get that you're trying to give your direction to the game and that is NAI - not being trustful of other players fits either with a paranoid town mindset or a scum looking for a broad lynchpool

Which one are you?

Hmm, I really think I could push this more but for now I'm gonna let it go

This playerlist is really hard on me to be fair, I'm not particularly good on reading anyone but I would say I really suck the most in reading most of this playerlist's playstyles

I'm not closing the book on that exchange about fark though, I'm just gonna leave it open like that to a later return

You really couldn't be more generic in your descriptions about what you liked about his post though. I've gotta to say that.

I like playing scum, won 2 games so far, one of them being the one you recently hostes so you should know more than other players here how i go around as scum

What makes my list bad to you? As in, what reads would you consider wrong and why?

You've watched me solve that normal 2106 in the dead thread, didn't you?

Do you think you need to ask what kind of player I'm? Do you really have no speculations of your own?

About ank, I mostly skipped her posts because I felt they were meaningless currently. Maybe something to look support the meat but nothing meaty on it by itself.

Funny of you to think I read the games I mod.
Anyway it's p unfortunate that I can't give you easy townread based on your response. I had a specific response I've been looking for.

Also I called it bad purely because it was out of place.

I honestly forgot about you in the normal dead chat, sorry :( i remember liking your posts but i didn't associate them with your nickname (i.e. in my mind i went like "player x posted stuff i like"). It may be helpful but i cannot form a super specific profile of you based on that only. Spectating is way different than actively playing.

That being said i already offered my interpretation of your posts here, and i want to hear more of your opinions of the current gamestate.

Right now you are mostly dodging questions and/or turning them back at who asked them, which is fine for a while but some answers would also be appreciated

Also can I just say that I find it amusing that a large theme is currently being one of the slowest game so far, in Team Mafia nonetheless?

It's also more amusing that everyone made a post so far.

Last post because I'm getting back to work

I did answer you on ank/vex though so I'm not sure what I'm dodging. It may look like I'm dodging since I throw a curve ball back but I think I more or less answered most things?

Anyway I'm just slow to give reads because I like the reads to be grounded, so I'm careful about what I say. I also think that most posts in a mafia game are a bit useless because I get my reads from 2 or 3 posts each person have that in my head I go "This really comes more often than town" or "This comes more often from scum".

I'm mostly looking around and waiting everyone to post enough to find meaningful posts for everyone or something

Sorry, my post was before i read your 140

I'd mostly like to hear your read of anka - or why you aren't interested in their posts given that you said you skimmed them.

I mean, i'm trying to build a profile of people around me because i literally haven't played with anyone in this plist, i just vaguely know some people from minor interactions like gif modding me or you posting stuff in that dead chat

Credit to gobbledygook (my teammate) for the observation.

I don't think flavour is AI in this game, but that may change if scum flips suggest otherwise.

Flavour is likely relevant to neighbourhoods. Beyonce could probably fit in several neighbourhoods, but I'll pencil Deas in as a singer for now.

Despite my being a big fan of flavour, I hope DeasVail's future posts will stray away from it.

UT is scum. That's for sure.

Your readlist is horrible because you declared yourself as a king of readlists and yet you put "gif" and "powerscumming" together but I have tried very hard to drop that bias you see. So with dropping that bias, it rose to "bad."
It's also out of place because it's a first post readlist very early stage. Things like that is usually done by people who wants to be townread, and it should be concerning unless I know that they're the self-conscious type. I called it NAI because both town and scum can do it.
