Screen's probably town because of post #20. Feels town.

Are some jokes are inherently towny? I'm not sure what's the meta on that aspect, especially in RVS.

I'm reading it as null, same as TehBrawlGuy's response, which is a little bit more interesting in my opinion since he's continuing the joke.

@TehBrawlGuy, why did you continue his joke?

Generally, people make jokes like that for two reasons.

1) Lulz
2) For reactions/to break rvs

If it's the former, I amuse us at least. If it's the latter, posting something lets him look at my reaction and anyone else's.

Fair enough. Do you townread his joke?

I actually think my read on it is less important than anyone else's, given that we all have my reaction to it and these posts to judge me on.

I want to see what the rest of the thread thinks.

Is rvs over yet?
If so
VOTE: tehbrawlguy

Huh, I'll bite. Why are you implying the vote is serious now? Why not state it outright?

I’m confused that you are confused by my post.

Maybe you two need to have a chat in your "scum PT" to clarify things.

Garuga, are you gonna stop giving us your thoughts just now that it's interesting?

I think I'm taking up too much space in the thread anyways. Might as well give others the chance to be in the spotlight while I think about my reads.

No.
Stay fluid or get deaded








Idk. Couldn’t think of anything better.

I guess it's better to generate as much content as possible, especially in the early stages of the game, but I don't want to drown people out in shallow posts and thus discourage them.

Nothing else really springs out at me right now after reading through these first few posts, however...

I can sort of understand this kind of vote, some people do like to establish a 'buddy' of sorts (which imo is scummy as hell) and distancing yourself away from any early attempts at friendliness could be a good idea.

Oh yeah and I haven't voted yet

Boy do I love a good wagon

What's scummy about townreading someone?

Well nothing in isolation, but when you take into consideration that it was a read on a RVS vote (which aren't really alignment indicative from my stance), then you can take into account the possibility that people can use these early on to try and get into peoples good books by townreading them, then it can come off as a tiny bit sus, and at this stage in the game a tiny bit sus is all we're gonna be able to latch onto until more discussion happens.

There's more to the read than an RVS vote. It's about his reasoning for that vote, as well as the context in which it was said. It's not something that scum would have said, so it felt town. And from my perspective, the way you make "more discussion happen" (your words) is by developing reads, including townreads, not by waiting around hoping something happens. The passive approach is actually much more pro-scum.
