The bravado from Medea in post
9 is really interesting. I wouldn't believe that scum would start out a game daring others to realize he's town, impatiently. Of course, it could just be scum challenging them but I don't get that feeling from so early in the game. Fast forward a few posts, I don't like the reasoning LynchMePls behind post
14. It puts up a charade of trying to end rvs, a charade of trying to do things without accomplishing anything. Returning the challenge in post
19 gives me a feeling that if one of them is scum the other is town (not necessarily saying that one IS scum just that they both are not scum together).
I keep looking at post
27 by LynchMePleasein comparison to what anti has at this point in time and do not see anything that looks like squirming. Although, I'm not sure scum would blatantly change the events that occured in the thread. I do like Murder in post
34, they noted this similar suspicion about Antihero's "flailing." I did not originally agree with the suspicion of Antihero should LynchMePls flip scum, but on further evaluation I can make out the reasoning behind it. I could see this early interaction as distancing from each other, especially noting that both are scum reading each other. I did not like the vote in post
41 as it feels weak and as if it's trying to avoid the main targets of the thread thus far without taking a position on them. I do not like LynchMePls in post
44, namely the defense of HypotheticalBassists. I can see how Egg might be confused about Murder and Medea's openings in post
46, the open bravado and challenge and replying to said challenge did also come to mind as scum theatre. I do not like the naked vote from Riddleton in post
47. Granted, I did not find fault with the posts the declared themselves as RVS posts, but the naked vote raises an eyebrow.
I do not like how Riddleton, in post
54 tries to place the blame of him not explaining a vote onto others, it looks like he is trying to absolve himself of all blame or of all questioning with regard to the vote. I do not like the explanation of the vote from Riddleton in post
62 as he implies that he is not voting Murder because he thinks they are scum, but voting Murder to get competing wagons going. Why Murder? Why not join the votes on Antihero? I do not like the stance regarding LynchMePls, expressed by Riddleton in post
68 but it seems my judgement is clouded by that being such a terrible reason to townread anyone. I do not like HypotheticalBassists' post
71 as it feels like he is trying to place blame on his other head for getting them voted. Trying to play up some hydra dissonance.
They again highlight this dissonance in post
85 which makes me suspicious this will be a common trend any time one of them does something suspicious. LynchMePlease in post
90 makes me think that if one of them is scum the other is not, it almost feels like a "thanks for townreading me bud" townread. I like Egg's post
91 as it also seems to be wary of the dissonance. I don't see what Murder is referring to be "tryhard" in post
95. After this page I find Riddleton's posting style extremely frustrating, namely the spamposting with little to no content in a fair amount of the posts. Yes, there is some content, but I don't like most of the posts as they feel like filler. It's not necessarily scummy, but it could be clouding my opinion of the slot.
The first post I have liked from Riddleton is
103 as I agree about scum being more on the defensive purle based on their alignment. Istott feels almost like a spectator this game. I don't think this is necessarily alignment indicative, but I hope to see
something
resembling stances and content from him soon. I continue to like Egg's posting such as
111 as it is easy to understand where his stances are originating from. It could be argued that maybe they are just shallow stances by scum but I do not get that feeling from his posts. I do not like the outright defensiveness of post
114 by istott, because generally town will admit they're scummy but scum might not. Granted, this could just be a newbie tell I'm mistaking to apply to experienced players. I do not like
120 by Murder, but for the life of me I can't put my finger on what it is. I do however, like Murder's challenge in post
124 as I don't see why scum would challenge confirmed town.
My reads at this point in time are as follows, and are in no particular order. Anyone not listed is null.
Suspicious-
HypotheticalBassists- Their posts are plagued with hydra dissonance and apologizing for past transgressions and it feels as though they are more worried about keeping themselves alive than finding scum.
Riddleton- I feel like his posts are littered with filler. I did not understand the vote on Murder nor did I like his justification. I did like
114 from him but that could easily be echoing a common sentiment.
LynchMePls- I did not like his entrance nor did I like his stance regarding Antihero and him trying to change around what has actually happened in the game.
Decent standing so far-
Egg- I can understand where his positions are coming from and also agree with what he's been saying with regard to HypotheticalBassists.
serrapaladin- He is confirmed town.
Medea- I quite enjoyed the bravado in the entrance. They are only slightly a townread, because there really has not been that much from them at this point in time.
Murder- I was satisfied the response to the challenge from Medea, and the questioning line with Riddleton.
Page 6 now.
I see the first post of actual "hunting" from Hypotheticalbassists (post
129 but I do not understand the reasonings he does give. One thing I thought was town was GreyICE's vote on Egg in post
132 as Egg was previously left alone by everyone. I do not agree with the vote, however that's a really stick out vote that I don't find scum likely to make. Post
138 from HypotheticalBassists as it feels like he's trying to force himself in as the middle man, and that comes off as sleazy, nor do I find his "I found these posts town" satisfying in any regard. The paranoia in post
140 reads as town, the wifom with regard to a read instead of being used to push a lynch. I like Greyice refusing to respond to HypotheticalBassists and I don't like the reaction weak pressure vote from them. I liked post
148 by Medea although I wished they commented on what they think of Murder's reaction to it. I do like the challenge from Murder in post
149.
Again I like Riddleton's post
155. I'm thinking of bumping him back into null. I found the openness and mindset of post
160 town, as it makes it easier to understand that initial defense post. I understand some of the sentiments behind post
166 by LynchMePls, but I think the vote is a bandwagon vote. I don't really understand what it is about the reads chart that Antihero doesn't like in post
168 and it looks almost like filler to me. I don't get what it is about the HypotheticalBassists wagon it is Antihero doesn't like in post
169 nor do I understand anything he is posting on this page. I don't get Anatole's post
174 but I am leaning more to it being just me disagreeing with it than anything else.
I agree with the sentiment expressed by Murder in post
175 as I think the quoted post is just doused in wine. I agree with Riddleton in post
185 but he's just echoing without really providing anything new to the discussion. I want an explanation from Riddleton in post
197, but I find him saying "You all should look more town" as cheeky scum. I thought the discussion for most of this page was boring and didn't really get us anywhere.
I find Anatole's posts regarding the townslip (incorrectly) to sound too much like he is trying to play blind and make them believe it is a townslip. I notice that Riddleton's explanation of what made him think the townslip (post
211) were all posts that occured after he promised to justify his suspicions which is strange considering he had to have some reason to question it in the first place. I don't really like the posturing between Anatole and Riddleton. I see GreyICE is disagreeing with a lot of my reads which is weird. I want to talk to him about some of these later. And again in post
222 is someone saying they like them.
I find myself agreeing with a lot of the sentiments Antihero brings forth on page 10. GreyICE's flip out is interesting, I wish I had other games to compare it to because I'm not sure if it's necessarily alignment indicative. I did rather enjoy the cheek from Murder, however.
Suspicious-
Riddleton- Not a ton of reasonings in his posts, weird stances (see: the Anatole faked the townslip and then justifies it with reasons that were after the initial event)
Anatole- I think it looks like he was trying to fake a townslip.
LynchMePlease- There hasn't been anything redeeming since my last list.
Antihero- Prior to page 10 he had next to nothing in terms of reasoning, now he's walking around being condescending. Granted, I agree with the stances but at the same time I feel like it's feigned indignance.
HypotheticalBassists- Nothing really new compared to last, besides a really weak vote on GreyICE that looks like looking busy.
Alright so far-
Serrapaladin- ...
Murder- I like the cheek coming from them, as well as the paranoia regarding Medea.
Medea- I liked the response to Murder's paranoia.
This is where I'm at now, I've been working on this most of the afternoon but have things to attend to. There is a chance I could be back later tonight.
I think I'm most feeling a vote on-
VOTE: hypotheticalbassists
