Hmm? His response to that was along the lines of "This is interesting, I wonder what to think. Slightly scummy."
The fact that he called it out at all feels like not-SS to me. It also reminded me of this post:

Eh, fair enough. I'm used to much more though it is extremely early still.
I'm certain TGP has been in enough games to not be considered in that category. I'm just not sure I have a strong meta handle yet.
it's whatever category you want to put "person who gets concerned by early game wagon hopping"
here you go:

that is such a weird comment to make about skitter when almost all her posts are one-liners. there's literally only one of her posts that is 4+ sentences long.

why pick out her?

especially when there --

i agree with peta. i simply don't buy this is genuine town thought.

UNVOTE:
VOTE: jacksonvirgo
here you go (there are no hoopla posts in between these by the way, they're adjacent in her ISO.
for context - she begins with an rvs vote on Lilith that leaves a bad taste in my mouth because while it could be harmless it also could be scum seeing if they can chain miseliminations. then a completely naked and seemingly random vote on penguin after a skitter-penguin interaction with no other context, followed by her next post being a. weird and opportunistic vote on Lilith after that wagon picks up. finally, with two sarcastic posts, she discredits and votes JV for something that really doesn't look that AI, picking up on a JV wagon forming. Yeah, this is opportunistic wagon hopping. Enough of it is NAI that Hoopla is a moderate scumlean as opposed to my PP scumread.

yes, we were. and i was shocked to discover it took you beyond page 50 to lay down your first vote.

i am fascinated by the stoic observers afraid to jump in the waters.

a handy tip: when in doubt, don't be afraid to sheep ol' hoopla.
this also felt weird to me. like, sheep hoopla on what? you've laid down a couple naked votes and another couple votes where you've basically sheeped other people.

How do you feel about JV's posts independent of wagons?
they're... fine. a slight townlean because the points they're making haven't been great but don't jump out as scum motivated.

i mean, yes? it's opportunistic either way because it takes advantage of wagons forming and jumps on them with little to no attempted solving or town motivated reasoning.

The point of the question is that the argument reads as circular to me-- Hoopla is scum because she jumped on town JV, JV is town because scum Hoopla jumped on them.

I don't think it really makes sense for a scum jump onto scum to be opportunistic, because isn't the point of opportunism to try to find an excuse to push townies?

S_S feels like the voice of reason in this game which to me feels townie but the lack of substantial reads is concerning

Have you developed any outside of saying PP felt towny a while ago?

Ok so I don't have a ton of history with s_s, but other people seem to, so this seems like something that should be easily resolved? Either town!s_s tries to solve by asking sideline questions without throwing out a ton of opinions of his own, or he doesn't. I thought it was the former based on this interaction:
In post 233, Infinity 324 wrote:s_s, do you think it's important that people don't develop reads for bad reasons? (Don't remember that much about how you tend to play)
In post 242, Something_Smart wrote:Sorry, missed that.

Yes, extremely.
In post 243, Something_Smart wrote:I would rather have no reads than have reads based on bad reasons.
but I don't really feel like doing the meta research so if someone who's played with s_s before could give input that'd be great.

What about Skitter do you think has been scummy thus far?

Does her ability to read you also go vice versa (as in she said she's good at reading you)

But if you're assuming town!lilith and scum!JV then this doesn't make a whole lot of sense considering the wagons were about neck and neck

TGP do you think PP "wagon hopping" earlier in the game is indicative of a townie, fluid mindset or of opportunistic scum? Why?
