I'd really like Juliet to come back and talk about her naked vote.

Guilty Lion, Pavowski both strike me as town right now.

Not sure why DV wants to remove me from his list when I haven't done anything yet.

VOTE: Juliet

To respond to your stuff re:me+pav, that was me shooting the shit. I was logged on, looking for someone to talk to. He was someone I knew who was posting, started talking.

Anyway,

@Notty, okay new job. You said you had 3 reads though and then later posted that you had nothing to say because no one had said anything of note.

Marci is scared of playing scum, especially after getting dunked in three hours by multiple players in this game

She played a similar scared game as scum in my game with her after that, and this looks like night and day compared to those. There is a grain of salt that gamma could be coaching, but atm I’m fine with what Marci is doing

Hello, I have returned! (Long post cause posting rules)

------------------------
In post 104, Galron wrote:It seems like you're getting along with Pav pretty good. I agree nothing wrong with that. With marci, though, I sense some tension. Does that slot's treatment of Pav tell you anything?
Yeah, I liked Pav's posting (once he stopped ignoring me). I also noticed hostility from Marci, keeping an eye on it. To be fair to her we have had a multigame streak of us being TvS with one another. Although, I did not notice anything off about her treatment of Pav. Can you explain what you meant by that part of the question?

I believe you misunderstood him. He stated that HE was leaning town on me and Pav, and that made him not like your posts. (Probably the slightly shading me bit you mentioned)

I agree with the sentiment here, thought the same thing. But it is strange that you are speaking for gamma, instead of either expressing your opinion or leaving it for gamme to comment. (I liked wisdom's response in though)

In post 113, DeasVail wrote:Bowser Jr., Off The Hook, Child of Fairies, Skybird
Are these scumreads?

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!
In post 131, DeasVail wrote:Hmmm, actually I think I'm happy taking Skybird out of my scum list altogether
I do not like either of these posts, and if I was not too busy voting Marci atm, I would probably vote DeasVail over them :cop: :cop:

You town read her in Isekai day 1, all the way up til she lost internet tho. Her alignment does not really become that obvious until she is put under pressure imo.

I find the "hiding her points as gamma's points" concerning, in a "nervous to call them her own points kinda way"

Post 116 was saying that you thought Pav was town after a lot of people had already said that, without reference to the fact that others had already said that. I think scum would try to be more ~original~
And at the very least it removed what little reason I had to “scumread” you in the first place.
