Jesus fuck this is a ton of stuff to slog through.

UNVOTE: BB

Originally I didn't buy the N0 Cop claim considering the Wiki says PRs will be designated randomly for Nights 1-5. Additionally, why add the further pressure of a guilty viewing to a player that was already gaining a few RVS votes? Anyway, he reads better from where I stopped.

Liking ETL. Where are you from btw? I posted this morning and since have been busy, but alas I am home. Technically it's still 'tonight' as I said I would be posting earlier.

On re-read Lucky stands out for the dice-roller vote thing. Aptil's response to it I didn't like much considering he was attacking Lucky for not voting someone based on the previous content when he hadn't as well. VOTE: aptil

I give-up on the re-read. I'll be more active now that I'm back with my laptop and my schedule will be considerably less busy for the time being.

Would you please share your thoughts on ETL and the other players who have voted for you?

Do you still feel there is one or zero Scum between either me or BBMolla?

———✹
Between me, ETL, and DBK, in what order would you rank us from Towniest to Scummiest, and why?
--> If memory serves me right the only people that have voted for me were ETL and Bo. I found ETL's case on me valid, but like I said before my vote on lucky was to pressure him, because up until that point he didn't really post anything of value. Bo's vote I found to be more of a pressure vote, and trying to be the one starting the bandwagon.

--> Honestly, I'm not sure. Both of you are towards the middle of that line where I think you are town or scum. Let me throw the same question back to you. Between you and BBMolla, do you think there is one or zero (or two if you are so kind) scum there?

--> ETL is my strongest town read because she seems to be asking the right questions and hasn't done anything scummy. Between you and Bo I'd have to say you are the scummiest, because like I've said I don't think you're really taking an active role in this game which is scummy.

I'll read up on things later and probably set another vote some time soon.

His love of mafia

But I don't know if that's alignment relevent. I'm still deciding if his bad hop on is scummy.
In post 163, Zebe wrote:@Lucky and ETL:
To clarify:
Null is 'no useful or very useless activity'
Nothing is 'no activity to even start with'
And the uncategorized category is 'a slight idea, but nothing major'

I'm sorry if this confuzzles you, but that just happens sometimes. I'm not sure if it's me giving more mainstream names to my obscure categories, translation mistakes or something completely different.

@DBK: I don't feel this is 100% out of RVS yet. Half of the players are under 10 posts and something. I consider RVS more than just "random" stage of the game (None of the votes are
never truly
random). My "RVS" is can be described as the time to get the game rolling properly. Like in the scum/null/nothing/wth case above, lines I draw are never straight.

Kalimar & gam, who's scummier? With only 1 post from K, I have to choose gam. That contradiction with and .
I was trying to keep the wagon on Gam to see how BBmolla and Zebe would get on it. I didn't expect to get anything huge out of BBmolla since he seems to be very experienced, but he might've jumped on the wagon. I did wanna see what Zebe would do once Kalimar posted since supposedly, Zebe decided to put a first-vote on Kalimar as opposed to a wagon vote on someone even scummier.

Oh and thinking it over again, I pretty much know ETL is town now. I'm thinking if ETL were scum he wouldn't have called me out so suddenly on the buddying issue or whatever and instead just let me townread her no questions asked.

Which side am I again? I feel like I'm on both sides. You're saying a lot of crap that basically says you're trying to get information, when in reality all the crap you are saying seems to lead to no information.

What are your conclusions Wake? I want conclusions from you about anything this game, because then I'll have a much better chance of properly reading you

God forbid someone thinks badly of you

But I meant throwing the "I'm not playing as well as I should because something else is happening" card is crap, because you should probably just replace out. Otherwise it looks like a convenient excuse.

ETL knows, we kinda talked about this in the lover game: not to let outside stuff alter the quality of your play when replacing out is a thing.

If I wasn't spread so thin, it'd be different. I don't JUST ask questions. I then ANALYZE and USE every ounce of information gathered from the responses to form reads and conclusions. Time allows me to ask the questions, but I'm struggling to get around to the breaking down and digesting of all of the information. In one or two games tops it's a breeze, and turns my ISO into atreasure trove. My mistake was having the itch to try some additional neat games that grabbed my attention.

^^That. That shit right there.

That's basically claiming your play's worse because you're in more games.

Which is exactly what I said I hated.

You're also admitting it would be a breeze if you were in less games. Meaning you'd be playing better over a set interval of time.

I think if more games is halting your ability to overperform, then you should replace out or tough it up and never expect to gain any sympathy for being in more games than you could handle.
