i think part of me doesn't want to believe she's a beloved princess but that might be outguessing the mod

my gut is wary of mastina because i've seen her as scum act similar

i think she's actually town but i just said that because i want to be wary
have you seen her fake claim beloved princess?

Why not? It puts it on the record, people are going to respond to it, and it moves the game forward.
just curious

my take on this is you already have thread presence so you don't need to, as scum, produce a readslist for the hell of it

i think if you were scum your reads list would have been a little less sloppy

so i think you're town (also from other stuff) and i'm trying to figure out why people are scumreading you

The only surprise I have is why it's not a mason claim. xD

That's not the issue here - if you're not aware how active a player is when making your list then your list clearly isn't as detailed or as coherent as you want it to appear to the rest of us.
It's an early read list. I'm not expecting it to be taken entirely seriously.
These ideas feel mildly contrary

This is more of me echoing Well Done's concern that the mod might not put a beloved princess in to be randomized in this setup

Hm, I get what you’re saying. Don’t think it’s stellar reason to vote out mastina currently tho

I'm not particularly scumreading Monkey. It seems to me like they wanted to write a reads list but fumbled a bit. That could come from a town perspective.

Well Done - active an engaged, agree with their posts for the most part.

MalcomTrucker - Not really active, but their posts seem like they are trying to sort a little.

SwordofDucks - low content posting.

Sad.

~~More of my thoughts on Mena~~

The context:
~Mena was sitting on the largest early wagon: catboi.
~There was another growing wagon on Monkey Man
~I was currently leaning town on CSF based on the meta check presented in .

So, I saw Mena jump off of the largest wagon without voicing any read on catboi, and then ignore the second largest wagon (monkey man), and vote someone I think is town without reason. This makes me curious., so I ask why.

I feel like the timeline is a bit important to my thoughts, so will include.
Original vote is at 6:51 est, presumably he just thought of why he wanted to vote CSF. I ask why immediately after at 6:57 est, he sees my question and posts without answering immediately after at 7:04 est.

He then posts again, still not answering, but instead deflecting into complaining about hydras instead. -- He then comes back to give an answer, an hour after asked. His answer:
Spoiler:
In post 457, Menalque wrote:thanks!

I voted CSF for 3 reasons:

(1) I think malc's "oh god 11 pages already" thing is very slightly +scum, but CSF's "he seems like he wouldn't mind the legwork of reading 10 pages" reads as overjustification to me

(2) she didn't say hello to me

(3) *reserved for now*


Firstly, I don't see CSF's explination as a overjustification at all. It was a 2 sentence explenation for the read after being directly asked to explain the read.

My impression of Malcolm is that he doesn't mind doing legwork like reading 10 pages
[/sp/oiler]


Secondly, if the true reason Mena voted CSF was because he saw the Malcom vote reasoning, and thought it was an overjustification, I don't think he would have dodged the question twice before answering.

Thirdly, the way he presented the read was in itself an over justification imo.

His reason for voting CSF, was
maybe
a throw away kind of reason that is good enough to vote someone pre page 5 when you don't have content to look at, but definitely not in the context of when he made it.

Moving his vote, but not being able to / being unwilling to say why when asked, trying to deflect the conversation away, and then finally coming back with a really flimsy reason being presented as a serious reason reads to me like it was a fake read that he was not expecting to be questioned on. Not one that he believed in as he cast the vote.

My dude if you want to do well in this game you are going to need to start reading the thread and catching up on what you missed yourself.

Not a fan of the way monkey keeps jumping out and doing stuff and then immediately backtracking when accused. Was suspicious of him before and nothing he's done has really assuaged that. He also hasn't really been super responsive to a lot of clarifying questions and followup discussion. And I agree the timing / inconsistency around the reads list is weird. I guess I could say, it's not necessarily scum behavior, but it's odd ;)

VOTE: Monkeyman576

Still don't get the 'complain about pagecount' read. There were like three people including me who said the same thing and it was an understandable reaction to logging in a few hours after the game started to see a double digit number of pages. I thought it was kinda jokey at the time but I'm a little surprised people are still legit considering it. I don't actually think CSF looks that suspicious, but well done's accusation of menalque in seems like a reach.

don't worry about it, and I can't find any really egregious examples that quickly but yes, mastina is (in)famous for making very bold and outlandish claims in her first post(s)
