RE: Accountant's read on me & the quotes. It's something I wanted noted for me to look back at because I am going through their ISO for our mini normal together. I don't remember them making those kinds of jerky jumps in read changes as scum, which is something I wanted to double check. (drunk addition after I wrote all this: still haven't checked the meta shit soz)
Scum motivation: Appeasement over the whole townread issue, positioning to vote me later, checking to see if I'm mislynchable.
Town motivation: Paranoia after I dropped off(?)... I can't think of much more that would change a read like that completely from town to unreadable.
Copper's fight with DDD dragged on too long, and I feel like that was mostly copper's fault. I think copper was barking up the wrong fucking thing anyway and dragging on something that DDD already answered sufficiently. I can certainly see why ppl are scumreading copper for it but I'll be honest here I just can't read copper reliably til D3.
The more pertinent issue to me is that DDD came across as sheeping GL without trying to appear like he was sheeping him. As far as the whole reasoning for it... Like, I'm obviously not going to assume incompetence from GM. She's the IC, so she's expected to have some level of competence, for one. I was expecting her to take more of a town leader role and show the newbies how to get out of RVS proper, but she didn't. Now that I've seen more of her play I can probably boil that down to a personality tell rather than anything alignment indicative, but I didn't have as much exposure to her before that point. She did also talk herself up as having a lot of experience. + the whole early push blah blah blah argument that I have brought up many times so that's already been addressed. Anyway, that's why I'm partial to a DDD lynch, but I don't think I'll be voting there unless it's a deadline rush.
Like, the only thing from him that could be construed as scummy is that vote on me imo because of the timing & shitty reasonings, but I know I'm town and the rest of you don't, so it's not really a reason for anyone else to scumread him? In that situation I generally like to go with the benefit of the doubt since it's likely omgus (judging off GL, GM, and DDD all scumreading me at that time) + he hasn't played with me previously to compare tone.
That was a lot to say I don't see why ppl should be voting DDD but anyways, moving on.
It was GM that first mentioned Amished here wasn't it? With "inb4 amished" or some similar phrasing? What was the intent behind that, can you elaborate? I know the tell, but I want to know why in particular you brought it up rather than ignoring the comment regarding previous slot occupants.
Also, @ GM

Not a good enough reason to townread someone. It's dumb as either alignment imo. But I think a scum!DDD could come up with better reasons to townread drealmer than the joke post (and I'm guilty of townreading ppl off early joking as well) especially since drealmer did have other content to be read off by that stage. Which means I'm siding with Accountant on this one.
There's an argument for being more self conscious than that as scum I guess. I just think it's nonsensical as either alignment and I generally expect Appeal to Authority more from fresh newbs so ???
