I am satisfied with Geyde's new posts since I last Iso-ed him, especially 77 and 108. I'm fine with leaning town on him.In post 116, Spangled wrote:Thoughts on Geyde and faüstiv so far, Egix?
There are lots of candidates

Yes I have played before.
Why are you voting me?

I was voting someone early D1 until we actually were getting votes that were related to game play and not RVS. In my last game, we hammered on a town way too early and didn’t even get to hear a defense from the person (who was town and I believed was town) to speak, and then D2 we hammered and lost an opportunity for good information. I just am being more careful this time and preventing that from happening.In post 136, NotMySpamAccount wrote:It's early d1, and you're not voting anyone rn. you should be.In post 103, Jamelia wrote:Why do you feel this way?

You mean Geyde, right?In post 141, Airan303 wrote:Egix has posted little but his unified opinion was very informative. However, Draynth had to prompt him to post that.
- Really I'm not sure. It's hard to say what makes one particular question better than another. I wasn't really meaning to imply that I thought there was something better than 66, just that I felt it was overrated.In post 92, Spangled wrote:@Egix
If 66 is not the best question asked so far, what is, in your opinion?
I also don’t really see how it is self-contradictory to say that I don’t think this person should be called scum for doing so-and-so, but that I’ll think a bit about it. You will notice that I did exactly that — I looked over their entrance in their previous game.
Yeah I think soEgix96 wrote:You mean Geyde, right?In post 141, Airan303 wrote:Egix has posted little but his unified opinion was very informative. However, Draynth had to prompt him to post that.
I still think that faustiv is acting scummy. They’ve been asked a few times now about their passive / questioning tone and they haven’t responded in a way I’d expect someone who’s town would. So, they’re my main scum read. I also am suspicious of Spam, but I’m not sure if that’s because of their tunnel vision of my “exclamation points” or actual content. I like the way they analyze but I don’t necessarily agree with their contentIn post 141, Airan303 wrote:Here is some of my opinions. I have not checked out everyone though.
Draynth seems to be asking lots of questions and not giving lots of answers. Then again, we might want to question him a bit more.

Faustiv was asking lots of questions, but he didn’t elaborate on spangled being ‘too passive’ (I may be mistaken). He also wasn’t giving many answers.
Geyde had made good questions and encouraged people to vote. He had a good argument against spangled but didn’t have tunnel vision and pointed out that there should be a counter-vote by scum if he was right.
BTW @jamelia who do you think is scum?
Apologies if this sounds like a rehash of an earlier post directed at you.In post 145, Jamelia wrote:I still think that faustiv is acting scummy.

Being proactive in responses. Trying to take things in directions that would create situations that would be better for reading players.In post 114, Spangled wrote:Sounds like the second half of a question on an exam — the subject something pretentious-sounding, like Meta and Theory, perhaps the question would be: ‘Why do you have to post while playing mafia?

Scum had definitely prolonged the thread discussion of RVS; Spangled fits the bill considering their post adds nothing but fluff to the conversation.
Additionally, their townread on UrVeggie's question comes off as TMI given that the question was definitely not out of a scum's range to ask.
VOTE: Spangledwasall fluff at that point,but you still have to post. I answered some questions, and that was literally all Icoulddo. What would you have me be doing at that point, rather than answering those questions and give context?
Could you explain this thought process in the context of your plays?
But yes, I can; it’s very simple. Not posting earns you prods, enough prods gets you replaced out.
But I don’t think that’s what you mean. No, I have to post, responding to others’ questions and giving opinions, whether they’re especially game-pertinent or not, because that’s the only way the game gets moved forward. True, I wasn’tactivelydoing that, but could I have, at that point? As I asked you before — what would you have me doing at that point, seriously?
What was the ‘play’ for me to make there as town?
Updating this after reviewing the thread for a little bit.In post 122, UrVeggieM8 wrote:Sharing some reads I've had so far.
Airan - seems more town than scum for me at this point. Posting about bandwagoning as early as they did doesn’t seem like a scum thing to do, purely because I feel it might have drawn more attention than scum might have wanted. Could be wrong though.
Draynth - Has asked questions that could be indicative of other town or scum. I feel that putting a second vote on faüstiv without a justification (102) is the first scum-play that’s come from them.
Spam - Tbh, I find their style of play to be provocative. Examples: Bandwagoning (7) and putting a vote out there that’s not rvs (52). For this reason, atm I read them as more likely to be town than scum. They’ve gone quiet as of late though? @Spam, do you have any opinions on the game thus far?
Faustiv - Not enough info coming from them! Has only asked questions about why they’re under suspicion or being voted. Most likely scum-read for me atm.
No strong read on Spangled just yet but I even I thought the early townread on me (while appreciated) felt premature. Not entirely sure why that would make them more likely to be scum though?
