And now for what I've been putting off...Arthur.
I'm going to be up front...this is going to be the most waffly of anything anyone has ever seen from me. Like, it's going to be bad. Sorry. I just don't feel confident at all.
Okay heres the basics. He would 100% rp the way he did at the beginning of the game as either alignment. Complete null tell. He would give his idea of the scum team whether or not it was accurate. Comets null tell. As I said before, Arthur contemplate the setup. Hed have most likely done that before the game even started, so wether or not he was scumand it confirmed what he though, he'd still say it. I also would not in a million years put it past him actually giving the true makeup of the scum team out early on. To think he wouldn't do this and that he's not scum because of it is exceedingly silly and I'm actually disappointed in kuribo for claiming he couldn't be scum otherwise after he admitted to playing with Arthur before.
Here's my problem, I feel pretty adept at reading Arthur. There probably hasn't been a month that has gone by in the past year that arhtur and I have not played together in some fashion. We've hydrad together, we've been scum partners, and modded each other. And in nearly every other game, I have given detailed reasons why he's town when a good number of people has thought he was scum. Hell in mafia stuck, several people thought that I was doing damage control when I finally started paying attention to the game and started posting.
So, pless is arhtur screaming scum at me? No. In the last game in westeros, I realized he was scum pretty quickly, and that was basically due to his trolling nature and little game content. This is really similar to the open lottery game that he posted. Deas vail wondered if arhtur was a try hard scum, and quite frankly it weirded me out a little when arhtur made those effort walls because it reminded me of his sudden content after I threw my mini tantrum at him in the westeros game for not doing anything other than shitposting.
If he was just shitposting it would probably be easier to read him, but I doubt even as scum he'd do that in a game with us after being called out for it correctly not too long ago.
Empire says that he's deferring to me for Arthur but that he thinks that everything arhtur has done so far could be easily faked. And I agree mostly.
I ont know what I think about the fact that he stopped his rp. I'm ambivalent.
His attitude sucks. I don't know if his ego is bolstered by his winning a recent scum game, nearly winning the game in westeros, or general maturing n the game. But the nature of his comments dont read town to me. For instance the "whoever is town reading me had better have a good reason" don't read town to me at all. Is weird posturing for Arthur.
His tone seems off? Does that make sense? He's blustering in a weird way and he never follows up. The most he says is that shadoweh should know better, but from memory shadoweh has only seen him as scum in heterosexual revolution so I'm not sure why she should know what he's capable of.
I would kind of feel so much better if Jason were scum here, because I could feel better about Arthur. However, they did go after each other in a weird way. Arthur started after him for going after him in his first rvs post, which makes no sense to me. Arhtur has always said that rvs posts count just like everything else, so for him to cry foul for Jason thinking his rvs posts suck makes no sense (now I know Jason is not averse to double bussing for tactical purposes, but I'm not Getting that feel here? Also, pless is right, he's not going after his targets as strongly as he usually does. When he was scum recently he didn't push his "suspects" all that much and he was quite self conscious in how others perceived his view on those suspects. When he's town he doesn't give a fick...he'll in mafia stuck he kept pushing vifam as if he were confirmed evil long after most people, including me had argued that he was most likely innocent.
Like, I'd probably feel better about him if he was in a single minded pursuit against Jason no matter the circumstantial evidence, you know? In fact, his "hold up Jason might be scum post" made me think he might be town. And he was right in the game he ousted, lottery addicts, he tends to AtE like hell as scum and really doesn't as town as much.
There are a couple things that make me think he's town though...the town read he gave to babyspice (unless she's scum), The day one push against Jason, The general lack of shitposting, His doling out town reads like he does in
Post 397, I also kinda think one of us would be dead if Arthur was scum and had a say in who was killed.
(I don't know how he didn't have a scum read on absta though per
Post 479 I thought he was legitimately scummy, but sometimes people are just wrong?)
Although if bt is scum as I think, there are some possible examples of arhtur chain swing. Actually it's weird that they don't give real reads on each other. I don't remember what arhtur thought of bt in mafia stuck but I remember that bt did not trust us much and Arthur is acting quite a bit different here than he was in that game...it seems odd to me that bt really hasn't mentioned him.
Oh wait Arthur does sayye thinks Dan is scum...don't know if he keeps it up though.
Here's the thing. I have the slightest of slight town reads on arhtur that I don't feel confident in at all. His light tunneling of Jason is townish, but he *feels* wrong.
Idk...I don't want him near lylo at all though.
Idk even more this game is crushing me. My scum reads keep making me think they're town and I'm just gonna go play some video games for distraction because tying to read Arthur right now is driving me insane.
