214 feels like an afterthought like "I should be scumread Percy right now" instead of "I am scumreading Percy right now" because the sudden shift in tone from 213 to 214. 214 and after are much more aggressive. not just becuase 214 is a different post from 213.
41 is okay. I don't feel as strongly as you about it but its slightly positive. meh

Seems to start off strong and then kind of falls off, as though to make sure she's being heard and seen but not making any push of her own.
I think when skitter confronted her, she kind of saw there was no interest in lynching me and just abandoned her read.
Also, I forgot that this is a god damn hydra because I've never played with one and then I figured why people want them vetoed from their games. It's so hard to keep track of everyone's read and it's weird to see one account having different scum reads and town reads, so that's totally on me
seems like I'll have to talk with Miss March over here.
so ignore my argument regarding the scattered reads, that's fucking dumb on me
the point on March's read on me still stays, march in particular is scummy i think, not the whole hydra

Should I start a running tally of alt-slips? Having a five-headed hydra in the game certainly doesn't help with that...

Dont know about you guys, but I prefer having an ego post in my hydra games. It lets me keep track of it while I do other things.
i mean ... if you thought tris was being serious what did you think about the quality of the read (that she thought my silence was scummy and MKM's was townie) ... like did that make sense to u at the time? did it affect how you read tris?
I attribute it to the anxiety of being in a lobby with so many experienced players that I somehow believed there was a scumtell that could be derived from complete lack of inactivity I didn't know about. I questioned tris because I was curious how she could have read anything out of nothing but
scumslip?
I have a pretty good read rate for skitter, but to be frank I've almost always townread her and the read rate partially comes from the fact that she, like most, is usually town. I am trying new things to make sure she stays on her toes. I have also read a lot of her games/played with her a lot so I like to think I won't be tooooo easily duped by townreading her tone - her tone being something I think is a big contributor to that badge she wears. None of that means that by page 13 I am guaranteed to have a read on her.

Oh yeah you didn’t say you were good at town reading her, probs a sign I should try harder to actually pay attention

5 headed hydra and you can't come up with a read and you are so neutral when it comes to giving reads. it feels off. you're like "insomnia is scum because of this, but i can see him being town" , "not feeling cj's posts", plenty of Iioa
>_>
Buddy, my speech patterns that always make me sound less certain than I actually am aside, where is this "I can see insomnia being town" and Iioa from me?
Also dw it's pretty much been just me so far, but I want to give more initiative to Peace and Happy when they come in.

Anyway lemme make it clear. If I were to choose someone to lynch rn it's insomnia, then CJ.
It's not my fault you misinterpret how I say things and/or manipulated it to make it seem like theres no reads from us or whatever

i'll never understand the business of saying one head of a hydra is scummy but not the whole hydra. usually that just means it's a personality thing.
and i'm townreading Smile, but that's besides the point.

skitter was "covering" you in our last game as well, but you do seem a bit different from that game to me. How many games were you in at the start of that game? You seem more subdued here.

I don't really have time right now. see you all in the morning.

I want to change my meta because I get scum read on this solely based on me being such an obvious town when I'm town. If I'm really town as town, when I roll town I won't be like that.
So I'm sorry this had to be the game where I reverse my meta, but I keep looking back on my first scum game and nobody knowing my meta there and I sweeped easily because people didn't know me and what I'd normally do.
Although it's hurting me and it's really counter intuitive for me, it's a sacrifice I have to make in order to enjoy playing scum more as well. As it stands, I'm probably the shittiest scum player on the website. I lose all of my try hard motivation when I roll scum because I know i'm getting caught like day 2.

That plus my town meta is basically really accurate through this flow chart
Nail scum team in RVS based on their shit posts -> start overthinking -> tunnel every single town -> clutter the thread -> be a toxic piece of shit so you lynch your target and force the game hostage -> they flip town
and repeat without the first step until game's over
Posted: Sat May 11, 2019 5:22 am
by insomnia
I forgot : lose 60% of your motivation when your target flips town, should be placed like right after "they flip town"

I'm feeling like Insomnia and Smile are both town here. Clarity's feeling slightly better to me too, in an ass-backwards kind of way. I feel like scum her would be more eager to get off the subject of that question she asked tris and give off the impression that she's doing things.
VOTE: Fuscezu
On reread 190 comes off as reach-y. Could see their Ceejay related posts as them wanting to push him but to not be the one driving the wagon.

I'm leaning town on Fuscezu. 159 seems like a town thought process to me. As for 190, Insomnia was asking for a case on ceejay.

Or I want to see who tries to call me out
Or I want to wait for my P to come by
Or I havent voted at all yet.
Or anything.
