Gamma's catchup seems townie mostly because it stands out and doesn't look super good.

I just feel like you're not understanding why I don't like your posts. My personal take on posting in mafia games is that once you've put it out there, it's free to criticize. You yourself admitted that your style of taking on mastina was for
attention and for others to read your posts/i]. Correct me if I'm wrong? You have me responding to you, this should be good in your eyes. Instead you tell me I'm being dense for the consideration. The thing is about established player meta is that I can't just start to act like Noraaa and think it will work the same. I think that you chose to behave this way because you want to be townread like mastina would for doing what you did and nothing else

If he really wanted to get cred, couldn't he have just not said he was copying someone else's playstyle?

If I were scum and I did something questionable I would like a quick explanation before I get buried

So no I don't read him explaining as anything, the intent was already provided when he chose to do it

That took me a bit to process, but if he said that as a sort of buffer, then it's interesting that he decided to catch up that way in the first place.

Yes

The game is boring at the surface level for me, I'm not interested in what people type most of the time. I think it's all very easy to fake, therefore I look for tells that aren't explicit such as someone's timing or their delivery. I think scum are more likely to process their posts and even use rhetoric to give off a certain vibe, while townies are shamefully honest and full of mistakes. When it comes to you midway, my issue with reading you is that you seem afraid of mistakes. You'd rather comfortably sideline and say things like 'people are too quick to give reads' but I think that's both unhelpful and lazy. I stand by what I said earlier: Post whatever you want as long as it doesn't start to become hyperposting. You seem very afraid of being judged for a wrong read and I'm not sure if it's because you think you should really really think about them when there's about 283 posts (e.g You don't understand the concept of D1), or you're nervous for scum reasons; Right now I lean the latter.

That theory is preposterous? I have a
similar
catchup style to mastina most of the time, but I actually quite prefer my own style, mostly because it doesn't involve completely ignoring current events like she does? I only did the "quote posts and post a town/scum read on the post" thing because I felt like it offered a number of benefits that seems to for the most part have paid out like I'd planned. I got read I actually feel good about from RVS, the only one I don't think was decent being my mwb scumread. The idea of posting it here is so people can engage me ASAP about my reads, and see the gears turning, but it seems with you that was a massive misunderestimation, since while you did engage with me you clearly aren't perceiving the inner workings if you think that way about my ABR read.
And mastina doesn't always get townread for that style, are you joking me? That's part of why I revel in
not
being entirely similar to her, because I feel like I am different from her in exactly the ways that would make me less likely to set people off against me for style reasons.

If you prefer your own style then stick with it, I'm not reading you as gamma trying to be mastina, I'm reading you as gamma and what the attempt means

I took a thing mastina does and plugged it into my style
it's not a style change, it's just trying a thing in a specific context and seeing how it works out

i now feel like noraa is more town to me than she was yesterday. perhaps it's the sleep making me less paranoid and snappy. i also feel a sense of ~peace~ coming from cakez and gamma? i'll call that a townlean for now.

@baltar/peta: mind talking to me about your unwnd scumpings/vote?

You essentially TRed mwb for asking the same question you did, but you also had a paranoia there about being pocketed, but how would mwb know you’d ask that question?

what seems to be the issue here? like sure, scum!him didn't make
with the intent
of shoving me into his pocket, but i was proposing a world where scum!midway sees that i'm townleaning him because of it and runs with it. (and not even proposing, i'm not even scumreading midway right now, you know what i mean)

Mine was for something very specific I'd rather not expound upon right now unless it seems urgent. Want to let it marinate.

More generally, I don't think unwnd comes out the "winner" in this back and forth with gamma. I'm not certain I find it scummy exactly. Unwnd could be town here who just has very strong viewpoints on how the game should be played. But gamma's explanation feels fairly town to me and unwnd kept pushing like there was something there.
