My problem with Ceph right now is his post where he claims he hasn't even started playing yet.

When will Ceph start playing? Has he started now? Why hadn't he started then?

Clearly Ceph isn't going to be a town leader. By choice. Is that scummy? I dunno but it feels anti-town, as does his post about me at
I mean I'd say that kinda play isn't any more anti town than my play. Town doesn't always play optimally

My problem voting The toad here is that and feel townie to me, and I wonder if he's just legit sick and hasn't been able to keep up yet. while short, feels sincere. I feel like he could be town who doesn't give a fuck if he's lim'd. I hope a town!Toad comes in and puts out enough townie vibes to survive, but I can't deny that he's also just a scum read of mine right now.

I would prefer giving him a couple days to recoup and redeem.

Actually I'll unvote and re-vote of this is a thing in the morning that I feel comfortable doing.

Yeah I know, and I agree. But how am I supposed to discern town from scum if not looking at townie vs anti-town?

I don't have a scum or town read on either of you, but I'm very much "wtf is going on here" for both. Both of you have dipped into town leaning territory here and there for whatever reason, probably just vibes. Ceph dipped a bit into scum leaning due to his which I leaned towards a scum motivation over jaded town motivation.

I don't like Mal +1ing frogs idea to just make them use all their words

Mal townreads dweelee for a pooky vote???
@Mal
state your beef w/Pookington
1. Misrecalled, I skimmed a few games with them in it and they always seemed to be getting pressured for style/grammar. It was an oppos, but it kind of had a maybe happy ending through Luke's identification.
But it could be totally wrong. their posting hasn't been great since.

I don't think there's a case to be made for scum Penguin in the same way that there isn't a way to case someone who has never posted.
It's the Dunnstral problem.

@Amphibious friend of the toad variety - I'd be most interested in your updated read on Galron, Roden, Johnny, and Taly. Also when you said you liked bbt and bella less earlier, was that a scumlean or just a less confident town read?

I’m correcting the record.
How many games as scum vs. town though? I’ve hydra’d with him a lot and he usually doesn’t effort this much as scum. especially since he’s not trying to control the game or push an agenda.
We’re on the same page(mostly played with Pooky scum)
But he didn’t do anything in Pokemon. Pooky rarely efforts like this as scum. He isn’t trying to control the game or push any kind of agenda, so what’s his motive here if scum?
i won't suggest that he's just doing this to look busy - he's too good to need such a lame tactic

however, i think it's at least possible that he's just doing this because it entertains him, and i think that doing whatever sounds fun to him explains much of pooky's motivation as any alignment

probably[/i still more likely to come from town pooky, but I don't think people should just write him off as town just for it" But decided it wasn't worth it since, it felt like a lot to put out there to just land on "still leaning town, but don't forever bin"

But, I actually find that catch about his reads changing quietly on the spreadsheet as ++town for him.

Also, Rad moves from "town enough for day 1" to Town for finding that.
yeah that's not bad Sir Pookington IV can live today
