Micro 922: Strawberry Mafia (Game over!)

[Kanna]

I'm 'intense' because ame is pinging me like crazy

The holding on to RQS, how ame refuses to prove it has caught scum in the past, the refusal to talk about it, the refusing to engage with me upon it (exchange questions, withdrawing once ame realized it would have to actually answer my concerns)

And I have literally caught scum in the past for literally what ame is doing right now. I think it was in teh newbie queue. Would have to look it up if anyone's interested.

Is it the game Luca linked? Otherwise, I'd be interested in seeing it.

[Iconeum]

yeah it was that game

but mea culpa, i didn't catch that scum

luca did, i was just on the wagon for that and other reasons as well

so what I should have said was smt like: 'ive seen scum get caught for RQS in teh past' and not 'Ive caught scum for RQS in the past'

[Kanna]

Luca's latest takes were pretty interesting because they seem to be the opposite of most reads I've seen. I just want to say I wouldn't look into the coffee thing or the wow thing because ~reasons~. From my POV, it looks a bit opportunistic to push me on those things but I could be biased.

what do you mean by 'interesting'? what do you make of it?

It's interesting because he's going against the current. E.g he put clidd who was p scumread earlier as a TR while you/hectic/me as an SR. He hasn't put out all the reasoning yet, so I'm not sure.

@luca; would be interested in the rest of the reasoning btw

[Ame]

@Kanna, why a strong 7?

Alrighty, I'll look over that game tomorrow. I've also been in a game where the rqs poster was scum, but in that game, he used to try and grab the "town leader role," early (I think?) which is kinda different to what Ame is doing.

[Ame]

@ame do you always open a game with RQS?

Half the time. The more serious questions are usually asked in lylo.

Disagree. Ame insisting on RQS being answered and saying, very clearly, that it has a HUGE success chance of catching the scum fees a lot like trying to be town leader?

[Ame]

That is neat.

Voting a townie isn't scum indicative. Voting a townie that is playing towny is.

do you consider your vote on DDL an rvs vote or are you serious about it?

Yes

No cheating

Answer the question please (RVS vote or serious?)

Both. I always make an educated vote in RVS based on the available data. However, because the data is so limited, even an educated guess approaches randomness. In this case, I made a guess based on the gut reaction of

two posts

, so while it was "serious," it should hardly be taken seriously. But say like the game had to be decided right there, I would have voted DDL based on the information available.

[Iconeum]

Voting a townie isn't scum indicative. Voting a townie that is playing towny is.

how was any of that play townie?

[Ame]

Things are going to be

hectic

with you around.

VOTE: Hectic

VOTE: compath serious vote

In particular, I read Compath's joke as forced because the hectic pun is obvious and seems like something that has probably been made many times. From this, I thought Compath was either,

A. Awkward scum
B. Someone who has played with hectic and was hinting at who he was

The latter was my interpretation after thinking about it, and if it were the case it was town indicative to me because it would be unnecessarily putting himself out there / providing information to hectic. I scum read DDL for his serious vote because I felt he also picked up on the awkwardness, but instead of thinking it through to the alternative option (B), he stopped at (A), which was scum indicative to me (pushing over sorting).

[Iconeum]

Town the worst - My favorite duckling. Quack!
Kanna - Questioning others and actively generating content. They're participating in interactions that they don't really need to.
Hectic - Still a quality memer, like usual. Despite putting up an act as this Officer "Officer" Officer guy, he feels surprisingly natural.
Iconeum - Gut, and also sort of meta read. Asking questions and actively pressuring Ame. Ame - Doubles down on the "Answer my RQS" thing, and draws unnecessary attention to themselves. DDL - Feels very relaxed and natural, saying things as they come to his mind.
Null Luca Blight - He just hasn't done much yet.
Slaxx - Gut, and I also dislike post 66.
Clidd - He simply feels like he's trying too hard. He calls Ico's interactions with Ame "well-intentioned". Despite this, he still puts Ico as a nullish read. Some of his reads simply don't make much sense. He townreads Hectic for playing a character, and scumreads Kanna and I for something related to Ame's RQS, and doesn't elaborate on it at all. His post 88 also feels like he made it hard to read on purpose.
Scum Datisi - Gets too many pagetops. Leave some for the rest of us!

Oh this is a good readlist.
Slightly worried Compath has a meta read on me because God help me I don't know who Compath is.

'yeah compath joke is forced, this reads like akward scum but i'll interpret it like it's just a hard townread' <-- this is how i read this
Furthermore, you go 'oh DDL is voting this scummy slot that I should be scumreading but am actually hard townreading because lolwhynot, so DDL must be scum'?

what's the logic here?

[Iconeum]

it's such a bad faked scumread

[Iconeum]

Let me rephrase that

You read compath like he's awkward scum
But you somehow go to a hard townread on it

and you then proceed to scumread someone who's scumreading and voting someone YOU read like awkward scum?

[Iconeum]

i don't know how to phrase this properly but i hope ya'll understand lol

[Iconeum]

clidd is hard to read

[Ame]

You're way overthinking things or just going for LHF. I begin the game thinking from the start, no matter how little there is to go on. That being said, it's still very much just (virtually random) conjecture at that point. My opinion on both Compath changed within the same page (I didn't like Compath's responses and I liked DDL ignoring us). Compath being solid townie was hyperbole / RVS shenanegans.

[Iconeum]

Compath being solid townie was hyperbole / RVS shenanegans.

well no

you just said it was a serious read?

[Iconeum]

Though i'm not sure what your scum plan is by doing any of this

It's not a position you wanna be in if ur scum, and you could have easily just gone with the flow once heat turned up

ehhhhhh

[Ame]

Let me rephrase that

You read compath like he's awkward scum
But you somehow go to a hard townread on it

and you then proceed to scumread someone who's scumreading and voting someone YOU read like awkward scum?

Oh I see this actually makes sense. It's not correct though. It's simply the flow of my thought process.

> Initial gut interpretation: awkward scum
> Look at Compaths profile see it's new account
> Think why would scum make such a weird joke
> Think Oh maybe he's trying to signal hectic

DDL voting him seemed like he was going to push LHF. This interpretation was disproven shortly after.

[Ame]

Town reading Compath was serious. The extent of it was an exaggeration.

[Luca Blight]

I could easily see that joke coming from either alignment.

Ame, what are the results of your RQS? Who is scum?

[Luca Blight]

Luca's latest takes were pretty interesting because they seem to be the opposite of most reads I've seen. I just want to say I wouldn't look into the coffee thing or the wow thing because ~reasons~. From my POV, it looks a bit opportunistic to push me on those things but I could be biased.

It's interesting because he's going against the current. E.g he put clidd who was p scumread earlier as a TR while you/hectic/me as an SR. He hasn't put out all the reasoning yet, so I'm not sure.

@luca; would be interested in the rest of the reasoning btw

What’s your read on Clidd, Kanna?

Do you think going against the current is more Town or scum indicative?

I’ll get to the other reasoning soon, although the Hectic SL was based on the ‘officer’ gimmick which is making him hard to read. Based on content he’s entirely null.
