In post 53, Thestatusquo wrote:It's an easy entry for scum to make and has the bonus of actually being bad for town in that in general more discussion equals more potential signal even at the cost of more noise.
This is actually false. It's not the amount of signal that matters, it's the
ratio
of signal to noise that matters. That's not to say absolute amount of signal doesn't matter, but as the number of posts increase, the marginal benefit of even more posts slowly decreases over time. Eventually, it becomes so minuscule that it is either not worth it or actually harmful to the direction of the game.
(That said, I don't disagree with your vote and read on LLD here.)
In post 57, Bingle wrote:Legitimately, I think we should leave LLD to be solved by scum. There's likely a SK which means she's probably not going to endgame and even if she is scum getting that lim is going to be a gigantic PITA. If we just assume she's town that should save me a lot of effort.
What kind of attitude of this? I don't think we should be giving anyone a free D1 pass.
In post 69, Bingle wrote:This wasn't a D1 strategy. This is a until we flip a third party strategy.
This is even worse! Why are you so sure scum will kill LLD, especially if she is scum?
I have two by now-
Shining, sparkling shows of town
The ball’s in your court.
Let me guess... You have to post in Haikus all game as a post restriction? Or is this a self-imposed one for fun?

You seem quite defensive for how early in the game it is (as of when you made this post).
In post 106, Thestatusquo wrote:oh also can hydras try to sign off with which head makes the post? That would be helpful for me, a person who really doesn't work well with reading hydras.
Wait which slots are hydras? ...Oh morph and White Fire. I should read more carefully.
In post 109, morph the cat wrote:Would I scum read some random person with a join date of yesterday for stating it? Possibly.
Correct me if I am wrong, but if this is the case, why are you going after Shea so aggressively for his read. Early game reads don't have to be air-tight; on the contrary, even minor quibbles are valid reasons for votes.
In post 111, Chara wrote:but "why" did shea make it? is it perhaps because he's annoyed he can't get the towncred for the towny-shea posting? hm hm hm? it's okay though, i understand. i do the same thing as scum.
Redacted.
In post 112, White Fire wrote:Odds are in my favor ur town. U get scumread too often in games and i liked ur response.
Plus i think it would be amusing to see if i can get u paranoid.
Most of this is weak reasoning, but I actually think this comes from town more often than scum.
At bottom of 124. Will try to read another 5 or so pages tomorrow.
I dislike pretty much all of this post but especially the characterizaiton as our taking Shea to task as "agressive" when there was no vote or even intent to vote.
Also hate insisting on playing entirely on the past for multiple IRL game days. My town-ircher model I think uses new data to have a more informed and new fresh take on the early game when catching up, as to bring something new to the table.
Do you think its fair to say that perhaps "whether or not you voted" is a strange line for you to use for "aggression" when you yourself have said that you vote infrequently and mostly when very sure?
I agree that the post wasn't aggressive and more took it as you trying to give me context, but at the same time this is the second time you've made an argument that I would describe as kind of disingenuous.
Agree to disagree line be here, I guess. I get really annoyed when people apply emotional tags like "aggressive" when I was going out of my way to be extremely passive and patient epxlainy.
I'm a bit on the sideline of this convo, but just because we don't put votes down early and often does not mean that we're shy about making our thoughts known about players. Far from it.
You can usually see my incoming vote from orbit well in advance of it landing.
Yes I agree. The specific question I'm asking was basically why are you saying you weren't aggressive because you didn't vote when you don't vote that much. In fact, this post is basically what I'm saying. You can definitely be aggressive without voting.
In this case you weren't being aggressive but I just found it odd that "we didn't vote" was the specific line of defense here.

For everyone who has appeared to miss me saying this. Now, I'm on the bottom of page 5 and the current page simultaneously. It's not rocket science people.

i go back and forth between finding shea to be an overwhelming mood and then just being sure he is scum who's doing a great job because he happens to keep reminding me of scum Chara. but that is kind of insane so i'll simply ask shea to make worse posts so he can be townread.
this is not an example of shea acting like scum Chara, this is just an example of shea being relatable.
i like Sigmund less than i did, but this morning seems so much farther away than it actually is and perhaps he will return with stuff i like again. still like Guillotina, the second look at his ISO has me feeling better about the read.
