Good, there shouldn't be.

I think that while this is true in an ideal sense, there's something like the
cocktail party effect where neurotypical people just notice their own name a lot more sharply than they notice other people's names; in a noisy environment even if they're focusing on something else and tuning stuff out, if somebody says their name, their ears perk up.
Ideally a person should branch out beyond themselves as much as they can but it's natural and understandable if the parts of the thread you remember the most are the parts that are about you.
I think that Seniors OMGUSing their entire wagon is something that can come from a town mindset because scum, in my experience, are typically more self-conscious and thus would be more aware of how ridiculous that looks.

Did Cakez ever reply to this point?
↑ Cerberus v666 wrote:Hmm. Cakez umm. I need to look at him more closely? I'm being pretty floaty this game. I pushed the one thing that was a red flag for me, and nothing else so far has really jumped out at me without requiring in depth analysis I haven't done for anything in this game yet.
Finally got around to ISOing him earlier today like I'd been meaning to; made a map to try to get into his head. Didn't like what I saw. How's the floaty going? Is it getting better? I've been pretty out of it lately myself. I'm paying attention but i'm gonna start nattering about coloured threads if i try to explain what i'm thinking.

The way podoboq explained it is the way i was thinking of it too.

Why do you think she made stuff up rather than misremembered?
↑ podoboq wrote:I like how he's engaged with other players. He mentions things he finds scummy, asks about them, and requires that people justify their actions. That's how I play the game.
I like how he was hard on beeboy for the Sakura waffling, specifically.
Are you townreading everybody but dramonic and snarky then? Everyone else is more or less scumhunting.

Pistachi0n, I would still like it answered whether in your experience bold is a towntell or a scumtell.
i'm all out of words for today. maybe get a refill on words tomorrow. still have a couple days, want to try to do as much as we can.
