If not i'm not sure what you're talking about

[skitter30]

I woke up wanting to vote Cabd.

Ffery ur approach to this game is honestly kinda baffling me

[Prism]

It's referring to you skitter, and to the wallpost vote+response I gave that sparked your vote.

It might not be worth responding to, chance of debating the merits of the two wallposts and dragging bork and this conversation back out of the woodwork is high.

My point is I don't feel you take the step of getting a wagon w/o digging in, and I, obviously being myself who wrote the response, thought there were very glaring issues if you did dig

[Prism]

I'm going to go read for a bit but I'm really hesitant to pursue that line too heavily, on the one hand it'd probably be useful for me to read you with but on the other forcing you to work through it publicly risks completely destroying the game.

I'd rather just read around it.

I have a smartass reply I usually make to posts like this.

I feel way more scattershot than usual right now. I almost always have an analytical field around my gut that does the heavy lifting. I tried to force myself to make reads yesterday and wound up feeling like my bottom section was garbage after more interaction with you and pooky.

I have issues with last night.

I'll answer this when Cabd gets his butt in here.

Weirdly that is the best post you have made all game, better than any reads.

Suddenly I'm a ffery-stan.

Spoiler: Secret message for ffery do not open

Your read on me sucked btw LMAO

[Prism]

Actually I'm not gonna gut dartthrow this based off a single post

Get back in the null pile, go on, get.

Do you like rolling scum?

Dunno haven't rolled it since Chara's Folly. I thought I hated it for a long time and would joke about yeeting my computer out the window if I didn't roll town. Illicit/Chara's Folly were when I realized I hated town, too. After kicking it up a notch in Chara's and finding myself enjoying it, I now suspect it's halfassing games that I hate, not any particular alignment.

This happened disproportionately as scum because I have a very bad habit of playing to the level of the table. In Scumsman, I outright thought the town was playing so terribly it was not worth me playing. Other games, like The Thaw, are more engaging.

So I can't answer whether I'd like it or not, but I suspect it'd be equal to town.

My style is pretty consistent throughout, though. The easiest way to get into my head for how I think as scum is this post:
I took simultaneous notes of what I was aiming for in my posts and why I made each one in Scumsman.

some would say they love it, based one their posts in the PT

You've been giving me these little handclaspy signals that you're townreading me but your behavior writ large doesn't match that.

Your engagement with my readlist was pathetic. Your one comment iirc was that you expected Pooky to be higher. And he had been higher for much of the game. It was going back through his iso after rereading the first 20 or so pages that I started feeling concerns.

Hmm, I figured it was pretty obvious what I was doing in regards to relations without stating as such. Maybe not.

i was debating whether to go into a spiel on this based on what elements said a little while ago but i had stuff i wanted to read up on and try to actually solidify my reads based on recent happenings first

I've been kind of gut checking your play against Empire and Regfan for what are probably horrible reasons, because your inthread style doesn't match them at all even if some of the backroom thought process may be similar. I wanted to check that the existential disgust with themselves as scum isn't something I should expect to bleed into your tone here.

Your "relations" apparently involve leaving me out to dry.

[Prism]

It is useful to think of me as an anti-Regfan. He's the extreme town specialist, I'm the extreme scum specialist.

I don't think it's a bad comparison though given the many years we played and that his style was the one I copied circa ~2011, even if I've definitely put my own spin on it since.

VOTE: Cabd

I've not put a vote on him. Think about that.

[petapan]

cabd - as I kept reading I tried to think of why scum!cabd would play this way. Nothing ponged me as particularly scummy or fake so the read migrated.

since we're here now, though - on first glance, yeah, a reasonable thought - why would cabd play like this as scum? doesn't make sense. (as an aside i think element's explanations for her reads have been reasonable, overall comfortable vibe). but then the thought comes - there's plenty of reason for cabd to play like this as scum. i don't have a picture in my mind of how he'd play as scum, exactly (and i won't be doing homework on the subject), but you don't get to go on and on in conversations about "apathy as a scum toll", play like he has, and not look suspect when the gamestate is like *gestures broadly* this

[Prism]

Probably the biggest departure from Regfan is that I've picked up the pace of my play considerably, but how we get reads is probably still very similar. However, mine are categorically worse in quality.

[skitter30]

What makes me so skeptical of you is that I don't think you start selling the wagon for a tonal skim of the two wallposts. I can see a reflex vote for gut. I don't see why you actively try to sell the wagon to others without actually taking the time to study the problem, and if you actually did get into the weeds, I would be even more skeptical of the result.

This is fair, i sometimes make snap judgement votes off of like ~impressions~
