apologize - my mistake, i should have looked at that more closely. my read is basically "noraa is new, and their game is far closer to newbtown than newbscum. that being said, they are also doing things that i would generally consider scummy and antitown."In post 604, iamausername wrote:In post 579, TheGoldenParadox wrote: those three reads are entirely self-consistent.In post 528, TheGoldenParadox wrote:rn i think noraa is just newbie town, but being confident in bm!scum within the first daydoesn't really scream town; noraa will stay at a light townread.are you sure about that
i do tend to get lynched d1 - glad you noticed! you are completely correct about your meta, and it's going to be completely unhelpful to you because the last real games i played were something like two years ago. best practice would probably be to meta me like a newbie w/ no games played, because information about my playstyle and personality from that long ago isn't going to help you here.In post 614, Battle Mage wrote:It's too colloquial in my book.

1. I don't like how you over-egg things with emotive language like "really" all the time, to try and bolster your weak positions. In reality it just makes it look like you are tailspinning out of control.
2. I don't like how you have singled me (and only me?) out twice, with very little justification, for 2 unrelated, random and not particularly credible things. The second is worse, and feels a little like scum just trying to buy consistency points by targetting the same player, but being fundamentally too lazy to come up with anything robust.
3. I don't like that in red above, you initially acknowledged you hadn't played with me, and had no idea what my normal play is. Then in blue above, you pretend you do know how I play to strengthen your argument.
I'm amused that you didn't just lap up my defence of you, as it's consistent with my hypothesis - you are trying to keep targetting me to avoid attention - it wouldn't do to simply agree with me, even if you actually did, you had to spin in a way which made it sound like I was wrong (which in isolation, actually makes you look worse anyway).
UNVOTE:
VOTE: Golden Paradox
I got one, ma.i won't lap up your buddying attempts. sorry bout it.
Reading your previous games was not hugely conclusive about your alignment. You tend to get eliminated Day 1 all the freakin' time, so not much data to work with. You seem to be slightly higher on effort as scum, which goes in your favour here. However you are also decidedly more aggressive as town - and here you've been pretty gentle which is more like your scumgame.
