To be fair, I like how while nobody exactly townreads me, nobody completely scumreads me either. The reasoning provided by MargotRosa has convinced me to VOTE: Prism.

That's probably because of your PR hunt and your second RVS vote. But your a newbie so they let it slide.

Mods stealing pagetops smh. I was asleep anyway so I wouldnt have been able to steal it anyway

[Prism]

To respond to Rosa, I'm an infamously aggressive and demanding player as both alignments. It is the norm for every game, whether 9p or 18p, for better or worse, to revolve around me. As town I am rigorous and demanding to a fault, and as scum I am a complete control freak.

I do not want to be that way this game. The point of it is to encourage the Newbies to find footing and learn something. I was willing to be patient to let others experiment, drive the game, and hopefully get comfortable and only nudge when needed. The first time I went out of my way to amplify a voice wasn't any vote or push but actually with Cheeky's town PoE, which I hoped would put pressure scum to try and break into it.

When the game clearly had trouble getting started and numerous players voiced bewilderment akin to treading water, I decided to play a bit more aggressive to help get us into gear. While I was not the first vote, the Camel wagon was clearly started by me.

While all of this is an explanation for my play so far, I don't think any of the above is indicative of being town for me. I genuinely want to make this a pleasant learning experience, and this has been more of a motivator behind my play than what rolecard I drew.

The crux of their case seems to be that I want to tag along to other people's (wrong) pushes so that as scum I can avoid the negatives that comes pushing people, and thus avoid pushing people myself. Rosa only comments up to my post 56, but they read to at least 105.

Do you find my distillation an accurate description, and do you believe it to be true?

That conversation happened days ago, why are you bringing it up now?

[DaTacoX]

VOTE: RegRider

I'll agree with flow trap on this one.
And, once again as a side note... Pressuring someone doesn't work if you tell them that's what you are doing.

[DaTacoX]

Additionally, Cheeky was at E-3 when you unvoted (camel was off lol)
You have to be willing to go further when putting pressure on someone. It can be okay to put someone all the way to E-1 because that will incite more panic, and (because of this site's meta) they actually probably won't get killed immediately unless a scum hops on (revealing themselves) or if a town member makes a bad play and doesn't declare an intent to hammer.

[DaTacoX]

(Someone please correct me if I am wrong!)

Eh? When I voted Cheek was at E-2.

[RegRider]

That is to say that I put Cheek at E-2.

Why does it matter when I bring it up?

[flow trap]

Or rather why does it matter when you said it?

Yeah, I can understand that now that I've seen you post more, I enjoy that the new player is already throwing out reads but they seem to categorise most people as scum rn lol.

Connordragon07:

104 is twigging my spider senses a bit. I don’t like posts that are that large, but have very little to say when all is said and done. Certainly seem appreciative of the PR hunt

Fair enough, thought that making my posts bigger would help null out the fact I was less active than most by replying to things all at once, but I'll try to just be more active and post more instead. Not appreciating the PR hunt, was just enjoying the fact we got some proper action lol; also not an excuse to me participating in the PR hunt but I'm used to mafia games where there just aren't basic town/mafia members (eg. Town of Salem) so it kind of lessened the fact that it might not be the best play in my mind.

Camel:

Town on vibes. 62 is very sweet, and very newb Townie.

Yeah out of everyone Snivy is probably my favorite person to watch play rn.

Rosa seems very town to me currently but that could change depending on their future posts, since all they've said so far is their reads. Also their formatting is amazing and I already appreciate them for that lol.

Eh, seems like they were just asking a valid question to me, a two year old account in a newbie game is

kinda

strange.

[camelCasedSnivy]

I've gone from the try my best mindset to "well im already fucked so may as well just mess around"

But... you aren't?

But it isn't relevant, I'd say

[Prism]

Have I not tripped the scumdar anymore, flow trap?

FWIW I found 171-175 townleaning, just RegRider being concerned that RH9 was lying about the extent of experience, but not a hill I would die on.

[flow trap]

Have I not tripped the scumdar anymore, flow trap?

Nah, I think your reaction was towny enough

[Prism]

I guess in many ways this game is the opposite of my persona in Iceland, but that's a bold statement.

[flow trap]

Same, I'm trying to be open here; getting townpings from Camel, Prism, and Rosa

[RH9]

Ok, I'll UNVOTE: Prism because their defence makes sense.

[Prism]

At the risk of being OMGUSy, I'm wondering why you found it persuasive to begin with. Rosa only read the first 5 pages, and probably didn't know how to update it when I pushed Camel. You saw my turn towards being more proactive, which persisted in other dimensions after the Camel vote.
