are you sure about that
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."

neither of these quotes feel like TGP is talking his reads as about actual opinions that he has, they feel like they are conscious choices that he is making, and the way he is threatening to upgrade them to scumreads to try to get the people voting him to back off is scummy as hell.

was he just catching up on the game? if so, kinda figures his reads would evolve quickly.
i was to some extent, but those three reads are entirely self-consistent. i think noraa is newbtown, i'm not confident about that read so it's more of a lean, but their actual reads are not reads that i believe are helpful or incredibly legitimate. town, especially newbtown, can generate empty content as well as opposed to actual reads, and town can create fluff. i know i did that when i was newbtown.

you were re-reading the post later then eh? why?
In post 576, Battle Mage wrote:VOTE: iamausername
i really don't like this vote, but
i haven't played with BM and don't know if this is normal for them
- if someone has, that would be cool to know. for now, that vote feels really... random to me in a game that is by now definitely out of RVS,
especially for you, BM
.
I don't like some things about you.

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.
lit, glad you think so. to clarify - "especially for you, BM" was because you specifically were in a fight with nora and had produced quite a bit of content. and no,
i won't lap up your buddying attempts
. sorry bout it.
It's too colloquial in my book. Just empty shade, with nothing backing it up. As is the red above. I definitely haven't buddied with you (you'd know it if I did, eh Bob? ;) ). You're just limply clutching at straws to try and appear like you are scumhunting.

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.
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.

I don't understand the question.
I do actually. But I haven't done it this game yet which I should change that soon. I normally wait a bit until I start ISOing but ur right I should start

Hm good point. I could see a bm/mena and a bm/bob scumteam.
however I think bm is basically a confscum(at least in my head) which is why imma tunnel some more and hopefully get a good case on him bc I want a bm lim today

noraa why the hell are you defending a confscum read there is no way you (or any of us for that matter) are good enough to confirm that someone is scum in the first two irl days
if bm was such strongly scum, we would all see the thing that you did. bm has not been voted by that many people, so either a newbie is correct on a "confirmed scum" read that not that many other people in the game see, or you're wrong. tell me which one you think is more likely.

I think he's confscum. I know no one agrees. So what? I think what I think and my job is to try to prove myself correct or change my read if I later start thinking its not him. Do u have a problem with that?
