I don't really see why such a post is particularly scummy really. I've since caught up and reflected on where I feel the game is at - I just was quite surprised coming in and seeing so much content on the go already.

I think CSF's point was fair enough that I'll generally read back and make sure I know where I am with the game, but it was night for me anyway hence I knew I'd be delayed on a full catch-up until morning.
it's mostly an empirical thing -- hence why it's v weak +scum, but it does seem that slots that later flip scum are slightly more likely to make the complaint

or hey, maybe I'm confbiased, but I do it myself half the time and I still think that it comes from scum more

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*
Hi mena :D

Interested in ~reserved for now~
hi! *reserved for now* will be revealed at such time that it's appropriate

as far as I can see it's unexplained -- why does it lean town for you?

however, I liked . not bc I think it says anything about your alignment, but it made me chuckle

Because it's surely a better look than deflecting onto the argument being made being entirely around playstyle. Players can adapt how they approach the game, saying "this is how I play" doesn't stop someone from potentially reading you as mafia.

Man, it’s not even sunny yet I’m getting all this shade

And I mean, you’re still not really answering the question — it’s one read, that as of this time I haven’t decided if it’s made up or not, and there is no meaningful pressure behind it

Why would I waste my time doing something dreary like rebutting it instead of continuing to trip the light fantastic with my buds

I'm curious, why is that? I thought some of her reads seemed a little strange, but nothing that was clearly suspicious.
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
Mena idk if you're in a good mood this game, or if your playstyle has changed since we last played together, or what

I don't think anyone is expecting a lengthy rebuttal, but the snarky "you should know my playstyle by now" is pretty clear deflection from the point being made.

Yes. I've said quite openly Klick/Monkey my main suspects so far based on their play.

Nice to see you around again Klick! How’s everything? (I will except my “no reading things that happen while I’m asleep” rule to check the answer, promise :P )
Not too bad. New job training as an apprentice at a nursery. It's intense, but also satisfying in a way. And it's the same nursery that the kids go to, so it's nice getting to see them occasionally in the middle of the work day.
How're you?

gonna hit these both at the same time. that sounds cool, congrats! I worked in a summer camp for 3-5 year olds last year, so I have an inkling of the intensity (no idea how you're sustaining it longer term tbh) but definitely glad to hear that you like it!

I'm physically ill as of this morning, but overall doing pretty well. in a much better place mentally than when I used to play (huh, turns out that *checks notes* shouting at people on a mafia forum instead of *checks notes again* actually dealing with some pretty deep-seated issues was
not
a great or sustainable idea!) and just a lot more settled too. trying to make things work here in Madrid long-term but for the last few months it's been nice just having a steady work/lease on an apartment -- I also started getting very into bjj the last few months, so that's been interesting too

that probably is also somewhat of an answer to the play style thing -- I can still get snarky/annoyed and snap, but so far so good on not having any yellings at people or saying anything actually hurtful (at least, I hope so). I'm generally a lot more mellow than when we last were playing kinda regularly, and my reads have uh, declined somewhat in quality lol

he seems rather calm, which I think is more town-like than scum-like. there's no notable urgency to catch up from him, and I think scum would want to be more aware of events faster to position themselves better as well as to ward off any suspicions that might have built in the timespan they were away

For the most part the reasoning for the people voting for me is extremely flimsy. I have an opinion or two, another player with good reason questions the opinion, I don't get all huffy puffy with them like some people do when they're questioned, and all of a sudden I'm backpedaling somehow? This is more of a case of people trying to push me in to a corner just for having an opinion and then trying to make a mountain out of a molehill, or as some would call it, voting for LHF. Why not focus on those that are not actually contributing to the game or are doing something actually scummy?
