iioa is the wrong word, there's no information in the first place
Thinking that Soraya Montenegro suits me more for my avatar (while also thinking she was crying? no, she was judging...) than laborwave Rosa Luxembourg is not only
wrong
but not even a reason to scumread someone.
To me, there's something really deceptive about giving a readlist with low-information and not doing it in a Ranger-style or something. When you look at the post in his ISO, it looks like he's providing reasons for his reads, but in reality you get a bunch of nullreads and filler.
The point of low-information readlists is to provide a
what
and create a discussion topic. If you say, show you have a controversial read, you give people the opportunity to press upon the read and ask you about it. That's not at all what I saw from Karnos's readlist. Instead, it tried to look like a high-information readlist and answer both a
what
question and a
how
question, except without actually doing it. I know Karnos isn't a complete newbie and if he were to write a readlist, I would have expect him to not give a bunch of nullreads with nonexistent reasoning EOD1... Again, it looks like fluff to make an ISO look better.
like literally as soon as i saw that post (and thanked karnos for the hammer (sarcastically
)) karnos shot down from a nullread into scum territory in my reads.
Only thing that's stopping me from voting is that Gerry flipped town... Post-Titus lynch, he was my top scumread and Karnos made sense as a partner to both him and Titus. Now, I'm pretty stumped because I wasn't feeling scum!Karnos as much as I was feeling scum!Gerry.
At least the vig made a decent shot. I feel pretty strongly about this being a vig btw because I would think a serial killer would have actually killed me instead. It might seem egotistical, but I think that I'm a somewhat believable vig-shot (my slot is scummy enough, at least to karnos... plus, i was low-key baiting it yesterday, and high-key D1) and Gerry could have easily been lynched. I can't really think of any smarter serial killer targets. Otoh, a vig just has to shoot scumreads, which is what Gerry was.
