you're still doing it right now. you're doing a lot of conflict resolution, and you're trying to keep everything calm.
it could be a scum mindset, but i don't really know because i currently have no real understanding of toranaga
that's why i didn't give it too much effort
cuz it's not actually that relevant yet, which you so kindly pointed out
good. townreading 3 people from the get go is taking a stance on the game and the opposite of fence sitting, which is why I couldn't comprehend what you even meant with it.
I'm not doing any conflict resolution because I'm not townreading two people who are going against each other. I have townread 3 people who went against one poster, who I do not have a townread on, have agreed with one of their posts on a fundamental level but can totally come from scum, and can see why he is being wolfread. that's not trying to resolve conflict or keep anything calm.
in other news, I'm townreading this, as unfitting as it is as a stance to have on my posting so far.
huh? why are you townreading it, I don't see the thread of logic?
I immediately regretted that post, but the reason was I thought human looked genuine like he believed the things he was saying, even though it was blatantly wrong.
yeah fair

By “too much”, do you mean clogging up the thread or being a high poster? Also, content obviously matters. If you’re clogging up the thread with spam or blatantly attempting to derail then yes, that is definitely anti-town but posting a lot and being solvey isn’t. I think think post count is one of the weaker manifestations of alignment. High posters and near-lukers can be of either alignment. One thing I’ve witnessed scum do a lot is to push on the lhf in a game, since they are generally the easiest mislynch targets.

I voted for Drixx. I felt that him as leader makes him more readable and gets him to form reads earlier.
FA as leader, assuming scum could coordinate, suggests scum are at a minimum trusting of FA's judgement which is wierd

I didn't like that midget opened with that post and didn't follow up with anything, and saying "to be honest" can be a dishonety tell so I voted there. it doesn't amount to much but it's where I'm at.

Which might be wrong because that would put the chosen person in the spotlight

Agree, why wouldn’t scum be relaxed about something like that? What’s even more concerning is thinking liking the Great Gatsby is necessarily elitist.

I play more relaxed as town than scum, so why wouldn't others?
But, if you guys disagree I can't say that I think it's my best reasoning ever for a read. It's a tone read, and no one follows me on those anyway.
And the Great Gatsby is boring, unlike Watership Down, the best book ever.

That was me Mr. "Sakura's not contributing anything".
And no im not gonna elaborate as of right now, I dont plan on putting much effort atm.
That was your only contribution of value to date! And yeah, elaboration is actually bad at this moment, but in general it's information that should be shared in the event of FA!scum.
Why only FA!scum?

Maybe but I was recently in a game where a villa got scumread for pretty much the exact same thing. What you ought to be asking yourself is, is either/both the vote/reasoning stem from a town or scum mindset. I of course may be biased, since I also voted for Cerb. I am fairly new to this site and I based my vote on his play from our recent Varsoon game.

also thoughts on the fact D1 elected person probably has reasonably high scum equity?
like I talked myself out of it because surely that'd be too obvious but unless she got 2 votes and everyone else got 1 it's a question
ftr I voted Nancy Drew 39
I'm not sure if the leader has reasonably high scum equity because that suggests all scum voted as a pack for a scum team mate, which may not be true for associative reasons once everyone declares who they voted for.
My crackpot theory is that they possibly split votes
I would not pack vote a leader if I was a wolf.
it's hard to tell at what level the wolves are at so I'd rather not be too concerned with this. FA is likely town by her posts, yes?
Agreed with all.

They don’t have to coordinate.....
They would plan and use daychat. That's unquestioned. They may choose lol random but that seems unlijely.

I'm just going to vote whomever you're voting for until I get a real read. Sucks to feel like no one hears you. I am a sap.
