Ftr I am not a big fan of people asking about whether or not a vote is serious in RVS. I think the faster we break away from RVS, the better, and to do that generally involves making a mountain out of a molehill and then stripmining that mountain for its precious content
In post 22, Zoronos wrote:To contextualize my question - the_worst claimed scum in 9. I feel that moves the indicator (ever so slightly) on his probability of being scum. Ergo, I was curious if JJH was serious voting based on that input, or just making an RVS-vote, since his vote came after that post.

Oh, I screwed up the damn tag. UNVOTE:
I'm bad at this.
Nobody has struck me as overtly scummy yet but uhhhh I suck at RVS so the sooner it ends the happier I am.

Well, hand me my mining pick and helmet.
(caution, we're going into the intent-mines, where nothing good can result but if you want to follow me down the rabbit hole keep reading)
Getting a probabilistic read on whether or not a joke is self conscious is the thinnest of possible reads, but that's what makes the question valuable.
So, RVS this game was pretty concentrated - three votes on me, then three votes on NSG, then this new train of discussion.
I haven't played a lot on this site in the past few years, but that seems out of the ordinary from what I remember. Think there's meaning there, or just townies joking around?
(I don't have a answer to this question, but I'm curious about other's thoughts and it's better than yet-more-RVS)
So, to pre-flip analyze (which is totally fun and we should all definitely engage in), I don't think there's much meaning to MathDino's RVS because based on his signup post he's friends with NSG, so it's equally likely that's a scum-guilty-conscience vote on NSG as it is a town-joke (friends will look for reasons to engage eachother early, imo).
ofrhz on the other hand I'm curious about. He's probably not scum with MathDino because that's a really early +1vote. The worst's votes both (on me, then NSG) seem like jokes. After all, I started by joking about him, turnabout is fair play.

Zoronos had town motivation behind asking about the seriousness of my vote and clearly did not intend to reduce the pressure of it.
As an extra, even that vote wasn't actually much of a serious vote, I just said it was

Zor, we have a really strong playerlist, many of which know each other from places. I feel the interesting bits come immediately after RVS and beyond

We're maybe not quite there yet.
Worth noting that NSG is more interested in me than her wagon?

Ok guys real talk: the setup is called "Sharing is Caring", but Mathdino is a dinosaur with really really short hands; how could he share if he can't give you a hand? And by the name of the setup, we can infer that Sharing = Caring, then, if Mathdino can't share, Mathdino doesn't care, quod erat demonstrandum.
Now, Mathdino not caring could mean a lot of things, but what if he doesn't care of people dying because he's scum? That's a possibility, we can't dismiss it.
VOTE: Mathdino

Come on, duckling! You know better than to make a joke like that in my presence
Think that’s an attempt to drag us back to RVS in lieu of serious discussion / weighing in on thread topics, or just stale RVS?
Your vote cleart implies the former so maybe my question is self answering, ergo this is probably just a log of thoughts and observations.

i'm going to wait at least until everyone (or most everyone) checks in to discuss reads.

Acknowledged.
I shall continue journaling to myself.
Dear dairy,
Today ruru and pintu RVS’ed after there was content to read. I’m curious if they did so on purpose.
Pintu’s vote response may have been knowledge of guilty intent but that’s a thin read.
I wonder why ruru chose ofrhz, maybe because he sheeped a wagon in RVS instead of starting a new one, so I’m mistaking a serious but naked vote for an RVS vote.
Your pal,
Zor
