I wish i had said that i promised myself i would play more relaxed pre-game. Because i did very much promise myself that i would do that, before i receive any role PM. Just so i don't need to prove it's not just my role pm saying that, but it was an genuine promise i made myself before starting this game.

In post 1660, tictac wrote:add galron to my scumlist also 4 the line of questioning that starts w 884. like what else is emotion-read based off on than tone ever? predestined ending to the line and it went nowheree. classic fake curiosity.

too much consensus on irch
too much consensus on arcane

intersection on scumreads and realistic yeets is not great here
the line cannot hold, heavy elements are needed
Emotional reads are based on word flow and selection as well as tone. Frustrated peeps will use harder words, anger players use shorter words - just as a couple examples.

What you say even in typing says a lot about peeps. And it's learning to see what is genuine and what isn't that's the hard bit.

Disagree with your consensus takes considering they're frankly not consensus.
In post 1687, Tet wrote:I don't think anyone truly cares about their scum record, unless you're FL or something. So I'm speaking from a psychological standpoint.
If you wanna go from a psychological stand-point, being scum is a stressor as you have the burden of knowledge - to hide yourself and your teammates. People generally replace out more as scum and thats annoyingly true for us currently (We had to be repped once because we actually lost time and were scum -.-;) Some will be discreet about it, some won't be. The issue is when it becomes a Trust Tell level of event. Bell is a good example of this, and I know it's not something he does intentionally. Bell is literally locked in after page 10 usually based on activity alone.
As for caring about scum records, it's a passive care for me. I track my win/lose ratio so I can see how well I stack up against what should be average.

In post 1698, Grendel wrote: I get the vibe you want to say that having the confidence to acknowledge something is classically scummy, then do just that in unironic terms is a townie thing to do? At least in Andante's case. ei sheeping on purpose. Idk i feel like any confidant player could do that. This is assuming that Andante is a confidant player in general. if not then there could be a case there for town her.

Andante is scum lean.
Maf for saying I’m sheeping then going back to it later? last night I was drunk, and exhausted by the time I was talking here, the choices were
-not post
-minimal effort

I chose to post here, and honestly I’m leaning you maf, and I’m wondering if you + Norwee talking is an attempt at maf distancing,cause yalls whole conversation just feels off.

Your read on me also feels awkward. Look I know I’m not an easy read at times, but your reasoning doesn’t match my play here. I’ve just tunneled Arcade all game, changed my mind on Ircher and am voting you. None of that is in your read on me, instead it’s like “changes vote. might be town. scum lean” so I think I’m actually good with keeping this vote

Wait rate your confidence on this read please!

its maybe important
7/10 -- In particular, I liked that she picked something up on Arcade, then worked herself around to move her vote to LLD and then Ircher, but then decided to go back to her first scumread. Like she realized pretty quickly that LLD was a bad vote and wasn't comfortable with voting Ircher, so she went back to Arcade. And it's sort of a mindmeld with Ircher because I go back and forth on him, not sure he's a good lim today.

It just looks like you're keeping your options open, Grendel, by scum reading or fence sitting on so many slots.

Cuase that pun was certainly a thing... that u just did

So why couldn't they make at least a little bit of worthwhile contributions to the recent postings at least? Or share at least a single read? I think they were just scared, they felt lost in the big scary town and couldn't keep up with the knowledge that they are a dirty dirty scum and any mistake in their posts would get them speedlimmed.
oh ok lmao

you're just scum capitalizing off a weak town player who couldn't keep up with this site large player game madness
