Infinity, do you struggle with marathon settings just as scum or both alignments?

You can ask me real-time questions, the problem in marathons is more that I can't really take time (like 5 minutes for example) to respond if I need it.

I meant that it'd be a lot more useful for sorting you with them if you only struggled with marathons as scum

I know that I am not the person being asked, but I am gonna answer anyways too :)

I apparently only struggle with being scum in marathons games.

Spoiler:
I floundered in the scum game, and was fairly widely scum read. But I think that my town marathon games was one of my strongest town games on site.

Showed up, got fairly widely Town Read, spotted that Pooky was scummy, then lead town to a Day 1 scum elimination.
I have a GTKAS now! - Come ask me questions!

They're super opinionated and make a lot of assumptions, they're also pretty clumsy with word choice - Bell
Luke, respect for your scumgame has gone up massively - Hectic

It's a completely different kind of format, a lot closer to irl mafia where you don't have time to carefully plot what you're gonna say and have to think on the spot, harder to be genuine basically

The secret is to simulate a game in your head where you're town and the others could be anything posting exactly what they are in the thread. Then, you act extremely confident and say things like "this always flips scum" or "Lukewarm or I die today" and you get free townreads

I don't buy this.

You have clearly seen me fake the freewheeling, joking tone (in the vein of non-tilted Costello or me at my most lighthearted in Chara's Folly) in Flying Scumsman. You have seen this sort of intentionality and sharper focus repeatedly, dating back to your first experience with me on Replica, continuing through Folly, with flashes of it in Binding of Isaac.

I have repeatedly done things to sort players both actively and preemptively. I find it unlikely that these take a backseat in your mind in favor of tone.

That's true, you are capable of faking tone as scum. I just remembered you scumread me for the opposite reason in Undertale lol, that I didn't notice your tone shift (despite the Flying Scumsman game existing). I think this game it's a little more formal and almost stilted, though that isn't quite the right word for it, that's be a more accurate description and why it's a factor in my mind

I townlean you for the sorting, but I know you have a wide scumrange

Can you elaborate why Fidget is low and Infinity is high?

For Infinity, I was not impressed by "Ydrasse might be scum". I saw similar reads in Perpetual Melo, where Infinity sort of went on autopilot without explanation, but reads with explanation were always right around the corner. 125 was a satisfactory response for me but not decisively town.

Given that Scumsman-the only game you have played with scum Prism-doesn't appear on your mind, what are you thinking of here?

Fidget/Johnny are null

Infinity is largely meta based. Wasn't she town in that game?

Between you right now, and Bell cowering in fear most of WH-13 and illicit substances, I have no clue what made my single post as Ruler such an apparently powerful presence, but I'll take it.

Prism, you always manage to find some way to think I'm scummy based on me meta reading you, so caution please if town

I don't account for everything simualtenously and selective thinking happens

That post reminds me of something I'd post as town because I'm a nervous person, but I lean scum on it I guess?

Selective thinking is striking again, as I am 2 for 3 in correctly reading you as town, and quite early at that. You unconsciously count Scumsman.

My final question before I let others have their turn with you would be why Child is a townlean for you. Thanks for answering so much from me to begin with; I know I can be quite demanding.

You don't understand the dark history Prism and I have, Infinity. We were both town in Chara's Folly and her 100 page long push still keeps me up at night

@Prism: The almost annoyance at being voted for something 2 others did, scum would probably hide it
