i don't think i can do that tbh, unless if u show me a reason to believe ur town.. i dont wanna just take ur word for it UEHFOSDKC
i know sometimes i defend people for no good reason so i feel like i would be an easy and fun ally for scum to make :good:

I don't have especially strong scumvibes but claiming to support a vote without sheeping it + shading Bowser Jr slot for posts I find fundamentally NAI + townreading Luke & Pav makes me think my vote is best here
why do u think our townreads on luke & pav are a reason to vote us?
and i wanna know where tf did we townread luke???! i dont remember doing it myself, if anything i remember slightly shading him, and i dont see anything from gamma saying he did... or did u just make this up to push ur point along :-)

If they are, why vote COF over Off the Hook?
Yeah sort of. At this stage it feels a lot like picking names out of a hat and thinking "uhhhh this feels okay", but yes.

Off The Hook is probably the slot I'm least concerned about out of those 4, actually? I'm not sure why I need to be told what Gamma thinks without Gamma actually posting it but apart from that it's just weird appeasement vibes which might not mean much.

Child of Fairies is more interesting to me because of their interpretation that posts are difficult to parse. A very small proportion of posts so far are "Shakespearian" and honestly less than I would have expected going into a Shakespeare-themed game. If anything, the game has been easier to read than most other recent games I've played so it leads me to question where Child of Fairies' post is coming from. Is it an awkward attempt at light banter? Is Child of Fairies scum, feeling uncomfortable about that, and also more uncomfortable about posts that are more difficult to read as a result? I don't know, and I'm eager to find out!

I never said that. I said that I was having difficulty parsing the Shakespeare posts (namely the sonnets, but A for effort) and if anyone else was. All the other posts are pretty standard early-game stuff, which are perfectly readable.

Dunno. I know Shakespeare wrote both comedies and tragedies, but I don't know if any of his works started as a comedy and ended as a tragedy. That's what went through my head -- will a comedy end in tragedy? It seems like maybe a description of RVS transforming into more serious game play. Or, assuming comedy > tragedy, is there something that makes it easier to find scum on Day 1 but harder on Day 2? Or odd Days vs even Days. But that seems like reading too much into it, and I end up just thinking is a couplet (if that's what couplet means) that is part of the colour and meaningless for game play.
