newbie 2060: creatures, game ofer

[WhemeStar]

I asked if you liked his posts and you said yes

[Demainer]

I said

Enough to have a much scummier target to go for, yes.

What does "much scummier" imply?

[Ivyeo]

No no no........................!
it's the need to state the obvious that pinged me

I'm not sure what you mean by this exactly?

[WhemeStar]

I said

But what was scummy about me was my unvote which I don’t understand why you think it’s scummy when you think his posts were good?

[Ivyeo]

He's not neccesarly saying Dark isn't scummy, he's saying you are *more* scummy than dark, we want to execute our most likely scum do we not?

[WhemeStar]

I just don’t get how you can scumread someone I scumread and vote me unless you think I bussed

[Demainer]

(1) You were only the third vote on the endlessdark wagon, (2) you voted when it was clearly still RVS, and (3) how can you scumread someone who hadn't even posted yet when you voted for them?

[Demainer]

Whemestar's original post:

Hihi VOTE: endless dark

I like a wagon

L-2 btw. Which means 2 more votes is a hammer which is a flip. Something we don’t want currently.

[Demainer]

The whole defense just seems rather odd.

[endlessdark]

No no no........................!

I'm sleepy and will elaborate further tomorrow, but take into account that she's a newbie. Her posts don't yet strike me as needing-to-state-the-obvious (filler?) in a scummy way.

[Saudade]

No but this tell was usually what newbies fell for while the veteran gods (me) knew to avoid it

[Clasko]

considering that you haven't played in a long time, I imagine you would be eager to contribute.

The two aren't mutually exclusive from where I'm standing. If anything I'm more nervous due to being out of the game for a long time.

I'm curious as to what your own thoughts are.

(/T) - Town-lean:

(/T) on Demainer AND WhemeStar - their argument feels cyclical and non-scripted = less chance to be W v. W; also sparking discussion evidenced by Ivyeo's 79.
(/T) on Lukewarm - contributes to discussion and I like the tone of their posts.

I'm forming opinions on others that I don't want to give words to just yet. Stay tuned.

Oh yeah i guess that’s true. So you scumread both of us but just me more p

Are you concerned that you'll get scumread, or have bad reads? Or something different?

[Lukewarm]

My scumreads are Whemestar, Ivyeo and Clasko.

I explained my reasoning for Whemestar earlier.

Ivyeo does not seem to be contributing much to the conversation, and what they are sending is very wishy-washy. Their messages so far have been a vote, a quick unvote, and then this one:

Whilst I do see the scummyness in Wheme's posts, I'm not sure we want to cut Day 1 discussion to right here.

They just seem like they are being overly cautious, which I feel is more likely with a scum then a town.



Clasko hardly said anything until someone questioned it, then he town-read whemestar (my biggest scum vibes) because

their argument feels cyclical and non-scripted = less chance to be W v. W

And I don't understand the logic. Why would deducing that they are not BOTH scum automatically mean that neither one is?



I am town reading Demainer using Clasko's logic. It does not seem like a scum v scum conversation, and I think that whemestar is the more likely scum of the pair.

[WhemeStar]

I missed that part of claskos post

Clasko why do you townread both of us if you don’t think it’s a WvW argument?

[Ahri]

the speed of this game

:doge:

[Demainer]

the speed of this game

:doge:

Anything to say about the game? Any reads?

[Ahri]

nothing to say

lots of reads.

I'll keep all my cards, close to my chest
I'll wait here and see which way the wind will blow...

[Clasko]

Whoa, okay:

Are you concerned that you'll get scumread, or have bad reads? Or something different?

If I'm answering truthfully, from my perspective, my nerves come from interacting with 8 strangers on the internet playing a game I love, but having outdated experience in.

Also, in response to being scum-read/bad reads, whilst I feel they're inevitable in every game, yes, I am afraid of making mistakes and looking bad. I also hate offending people and try to avoid it in games I'm in at all costs.

Clasko hardly said anything until someone questioned it, then he town-read whemestar (my biggest scum vibes) because

Clasko why do you townread both of us if you don’t think it’s a WvW argument?

The town-leans come more from the active discussion being generated from the argument they're both having:

(/T) on Demainer AND WhemeStar - their argument feels cyclical and non-scripted = less chance to be W v. W;

also sparking discussion evidenced by Ivyeo's 79.

If I had thought about my post some more, I probably should have put the bolded part of that sentence

before

the W v. W thing - sorry if this caused confusion.

[endlessdark]

tbh, Clasko, I think you're townreading way too easily.

[endlessdark]

(1) You were only the third vote on the endlessdark wagon, (2) you voted when it was clearly still RVS, and (3) how can you scumread someone who hadn't even posted yet when you voted for them?

I think Demainer is on point here and WhemeStar's frustration is not the towniest thing ever either.

[endlessdark]

If Ivyeo is not an experienced player, I can see stating things in a more-than-necessary clear way as expected. Ivyeo, what's your experience with mafia?

[endlessdark]

Before I go sleep, my guess is WhemeStar/Clasko mafteam.
