tbh I think on further inspection it’s unfair to expect anyone that isn’t me or Ari to get this but your handling of her does not look right, you seem to have a chip on your shoulder that should only exist as scum
So change “understand” to “endorse”
handling of who?
what about makes makes you think "chip on my shoulder"

b/c saying that your playstyle is to sit back and observe doesn't really mesh with being proactive and reading ISOs

or am I just reading way into this?
I can comprehend how “wait for something to ping” and “do ISOs when feeling out of it” can co-exist

I think you’re salty about last game and want to exact vengeance upon the one that sniffed you out, or at the very least you’re scared of a repeat

that's true

I am trying to play support this game.
is there a reason why
caring too much about what should be a hobby for fun is not good for me and those I might hurt along the way.
and is also a convenient cover story for when you're scum :P
though i'm not sure you'll be the type of scum who would differentiate their scum game from their town game just from the sheer amount of experience you have
This is probably the post that pinged me the most

none, i think on play shes been towny for her. i think her play so far has been geared toward having fun and giving reads when they come to her rather than doing things to look town. a decent chunk of her reads in the early game resonated with me. i think even her lapse in motivation the last couple days is more likely to come from town feeling out of touch with the game.

but real talk, I was suspicious of gamma earlier b/c I feel like when he's scum he does this active lurk thing where he asks a few questions and comments on stuff and I got that some vibe here. Like its possible that it could just be a playstyle thing and it's done regardless of alignment but yeah.

I was also agreeing with Frog that I thought Gamma's OMGUS onto Frog looked pretty scummy.

The other thing is and I'll try to explain this but you guys know how you can tell what the setup is going to be based on game size? like a mini is usually going to be a 10/3 split and anything above that but below 21 is 4 so on and so forth. So in some game, Gamma had overestimated the # of scum in the game (to make himself look uninformed). So when him and Ari were guessing what Marci's list of 5 players was and he (I think they both did actually) guessed that it was a scumteam. And so that kinda reminded me of him doing that. IDK if that really makes sense to anyone else.

Your math is off
It’s not “anywhere between 13 and 21 is 4 scum”
Generally the number of scum is the number of players minus one, divided by four
So 15-19 is where you should expect 4 scum

I don't have any strong scumreads except, like.... datisi? I sure hope the silent slots are scum
:? ppl are scum reading Skitter? Who?
No one is anymore really but multiple took issue with her entrance to the thread/her totally missing a joke. Reminds me of multiple times where skitter's serious tone has made people scumread her when she's just being skitter and trying to catch scum.
like I really don't think this happened and so I think he's just whiteknighting Skitter for ???? and it comes across as him knowing her alignment.

I mean, FB did vote Skitter but it was sorta a joke about ^^^ attacking anyone that tried to lim skitter b4 d3.
