I literally gave an example. I reached E-2 day 1 in my last town game. all active scum were on my wagon and I got to E-2 day 1 of day 1
I high efforted a huge reads list out that game and then I had a claim to fall back on(novice 3 shot vig) to make me conftown and I got lazy really fast.

no I don't think so honestly. I'd just be like "hey guys imma get a reads list in" and then find a way to set up multiple people after my flip and be done with it.
I do not actually effort is scum. I just promise to. meta doesnt lie. you cannot find a single scum game where I actually effected after I promised a readslist.

That's her ego and lack of reading comprehension not letting her see it's actually me or MURDERCAT that scum auto shoots lol.

Thoughts on Flea? Nothing pinged me as town and there's a few bits I didn't like. Not enough content for a strong read either way though.
In post 71, Flea The Magician wrote:I have, how would the consensus be established is what I meant.
It's all well and good having a handful of vocal players doing what vocal players do, the consensus could be easily lost under a vocal minorities persistent screeching.
Given the 2 day window to allow pass alongs that's a bit of time for reads to change based on bits of information, the scroll going to the first player shouldn't be a hard lock on the process at that point.
Entry to thread had a couple of other mech posts like this then nothing else really. Kind of eh, didn't add anything useful here then left until post Noraa wagon then stuck with that trajectory without moving to date.
In post 310, Flea The Magician wrote:Jeeze you folk get busy.
UNVOTE:

The Lady needs to detangle her drawers methinks, that was some serious momentum buildup.

So, keeping it brief, it's past midnight and the discord conversations posts don't sit well with me, and neither does the list of reads this early into D1. Giving someone townpoints for meta'ing seems funky to me, like "oh! we played before! you know when I'm town!", followed by the emotional null read [how dare you use the discord against me! I will not read you now! - is how that looks to me] combined with "Oh woe is me, I'm always the wagon of choice!"...

More I read, more I dislike. Acting defensively to EVERYTHING including things which aren't aimed at her , then defending taylor from Lady's frankly freaking impressive presence at this point. I don't actually see Lady actively saying or even implying Taylor is a scumread. Maybe it's just my brain being out of whack. Noraa seems far too defensive of Taylor imo. Even defending against the jokepost.

VOTE: Noraa
the overjustification of the vote here feels kind of awkward and like an excuse to jump onto the wagon
In post 813, Flea The Magician wrote:Still here, migraine day, reading what I can ^_^;

Isis, Shelly and Bell aren't sitting right with me as I've been reading. More likely a dirty duo than a terrible trio in there though.
Important for later.
In post 1195, Flea The Magician wrote:UNVOTE:

I'm gunna say I'm with Taylor. D1 is one big personality who honestly looked me like shes more worried about how long she has, and is actively drilling people into dirt. The moment it seemed control was shifting from her I got a slightly panicked vibe.

Honestly feels like Lady is shutting down any discussion that isn't what she wants and I kinda feel Noraa has been shoved into a corner and locked there, kinda feel as well Noraa hasn't given us much choice beyond reading her as scum though with a lot of the reactions which could be what Lady was aiming for and
argh
- basically.

This ain't a scumread on Lady btw. This is a "what the actual fluff have I got myself into here?!". Who on earth drives into people that hard and then says "Controlling your emotions isn't my problem" when you're clearly trying to get on every last nerve?

I literally don't have the requisite attention span to read in depth the 10 pages that appear every 2 hours, especially after a pain day.

Specifically defending against 'this isn't a scumread on lady btw' reads as scum that's scared of upsetting lady.
In post 2109, Flea The Magician wrote:
Spoiler: Adorable ISO - Null -.-;
This ISO reads as fairly opportunistic early on, at least to me. The vote on Nora was placed based on "Nora getting defensive is sus" . She calls Nora out on an OMGUS vote.

Aw great, now I gotta add UNOwen to this...

Ok so the interactions with Noraa on the Adorable end are some seriously weak sauce. Like Bell Pepper on the scoville scale weak.


Spoiler: UNOwen ISO (read in part with Adorable) - Scum Leaning
So UNOwen claims their RVS vote to have provoked good things, and seems rather keen on Noraa scum as a result, that's fine and fair. Seems a little to proud to me but that's just me reading it.

Claims in to have "juicy and fulfilling Noraa scum read" - with a total of 3 game related posts. An RVS, an Adorbs accusation, and questioning someones read. Doesn't want to vote elsewhere until Noraa be cursed. Ok then.
In post 734, UNOwen wrote:At some point I will have opinions that are more substantial and worth offering without request. But the game has just started, and it is going at a good pace, so I see no reason to rush.
But the juicy noraa scumread? :(

blah blah blah discord/meta.... my brain hurts.

Ooo Adorable is scum apparently. . Adorables made like 3 posts at this point. That's a pretty heavy read for a slot with nothing happening. That I can work out it's currently based on slightly whiffy vote nobody else was really bothered about at the time...

I gotta agree with Adorable in . There's a definite sense of pride and knowing in UNOwens posts about Noraa.

Adorable and Noraa scumbuddies? That's a corker of a bus if that's the case. Shelly is implicated in this quite heavily and is someone I need to read over anyway.

More meta -.-;

This slot isn't sitting well with me.


Need to check Shelly and pooky at some point, this has used my attention span for the day.
So I really don't get Flea's approach to the game. They call out three people as sus then iso two random people they haven't talked about instead. The comments on those isos are only surface level and pretty meh. There's no real follow up, and the choice of them to look at doesn't come through as making sense to me. Flea's play feels inconsistent tonally around Noraa like they're just waiting until day end, not trying to rock the boat, and doing busywork that doesn't have an obviously consistent flow or mindset.
There's no reaching. I've become enlightened.
