:shrug: I guess I just felt like the label you assigned to the read didn't fit the read

In post 1745, obscure wrote: Gamma calling me and HEM scummy in feels weird to me. i acknowledge i'm probably biased, but i'm pretty sure i would've read skitter's posts as townie anyway, and HEM is one of the most townie people by far. scamper is also among my top towns for something i noted before, so their whole group of scumreads feels bad, and like, i'm not seeing their perspective at all, which could mean they're mafia.
This feels like a hokey attempt to cloak an OMGUS read
just googled.

OMGUS stands for "Oh My God, You Suck (for voting for me)!". it is sometimes used as a shorthand to indicate that you are voting for someone primarily because they voted for you. It is a behavior often associated with inexperienced players.


but i think my reasoning was more complex than that. i acknowledged that the personal bias may have played a part, but it was also just drastically seeing things differently as a whole. even if i'm wrong on my townreads on HEM/scamper, i would sort of expect townies not to see so much so completely differently. what was your early reasonings?

Am I the only one who thought 20 people meant 5 scum? I thought 17 w/ 4 scum and 21 w/ 5 scum were benchmarks, and this is closer to the latter. Not a big deal, just confused

FYI my guess for the mystery slot is firebringer.

I assumed it was probably 4+traitor but I guess it could be 4 or 5 depending on power? I don't think 20 is like that different from 19

In post 1749, fireisredsir wrote:obscure i like your style you should stick around and play more games here

also beware of people saying things like this bc they might be trying to pocket you. i am not however, as i am town :>
thank you!

just checked what pocket meant too but i've already been townreading you =p

regardless, i'm definitely aware enough/know enough about social deduction games in general not to just like people for liking me.

on another note, gamma's comment about me and frog being pally doesn't fully make sense considering i haven't outed a read there at all (even though ironically i've been internally village reading them a bit, it's not something i've had a concrete reason for yet)

You've been Towned by like half the towncore and pooky's read on you is contingent on the accuracy of your reads, so it makes sense for you to supply a reads list as well.
