I got a bit sidetracked when I was talking about my main point. The one being the lack of votes. I remember Starbuck saying something along the lines of 'ABR is so obvious scum' and I wonder if she'd make that opinion if ABR was able to vote. See, the biggest thing about ABR is that he clearly wants to play this game like normal. I've stated my opinion about this so I'll try not to be redundant. I wonder if the people who don't like ABR is his seeming unwillingness to play, but right now I just think ABR would rather play his way and well, he can't.
I glanced over Starbuck/Farside as well but it was only about a sentence. Starbuck's behavior remains pretty straightforward, it kinda shocked me to see her post a re-read like that. Maybe this boils down to playstlye, something Starbuck +1'd when TSE agreed you can't read someone on it. I can't read too hard into it because I sit here a little frustrated about votes again. I'd love to see how Starbuck would react to getting voted. Not just chided through a means of text. I don't mean to pair these two together but it just so happens you have this game working in groups, where people are obviously more involved with others. Which brings me to another thing.
We have clear players who aren't really involved in ways that are..argumentative? Is that the word I'm looking for. Just people who have been given more agency to do whatever they want. Such as Dunnstral/springlullaby/Pink Ball/Raya/SirCakez.
This is a list I want to eventually come back to and will become more important as time goes on.

In post 449, unwnd wrote:The thing that makes this game especially annoying for me above all else is that without the ability to 'vote' you kinda have to filter things out more efficiently. Votes pretty much condense all your arguments. Sometimes you can even say way more just voting someone than anything. Right now you have players who I think would probably be voting each other (or something to close to it) and I'd be able to determine what it all means in the long run. In an instance where there were votes, I'm just going to go ahead and say that TSE/ND probably wouldn't be voting me. I'd also say that I think TSE/ND don't seem like partners despite both agreeing to dislike me. What's happening here is that one of them is town pursuing a bad thought and the other is scum using that leverage to seem more
legitimate
. In terms of who I give more benefit? I don't really know. TSE is so full of himself that it's bothering me. ND remains steadfast and just going through the motions. Gun to my head I'd give it to TSE.
I had some other things I wanted to hit while I'm here.
We are TvT.
Midway and Math are my strongest Town Reads RN.

If you never planned on voting me currently if votings could happen, why did you say your post you said about me in the beginning?

I word error'd. The line about 'TSE/ND probably wouldn't be voting me' was meant to say 'TSE/ND probably wouldn't be BOTH voting me'.
I feel like your answer about that post is easily explained if you read what I'm saying.

Buddying is part of your town playstyle or do you mean scum?
Play style. I'm generally more concerned about my townreads not being hung than my scumreads being hung. It's also easier for me to gage whether I'm alienating myself from the thread or not when there's someone who townreads me enough to change their read in such a case.

If they spend have the day not passing the chain or proposing a group, everyone else is going to have to make a mildly rushed decision is the only concern I see.
Why do you see unwnd as scum?

“This post rubs me SO wrong right here. In essence it means absolutely nothing, imparts absolutely no insight. It's more of a call to attention like "hey look! I'm making pro town posts!" Chrome has been absolutely non-committal, and doesn't actually seem to be interested in putting themselves out there and committing to anything or anyone.
Most of their posts are just like this but this one really sets off alarms in my head, especially considering it's such a sly set-up to start a bandwagon on just about anyone who might take the bait. It's basically implying "if you vote faint, (or anyone else I can spin to be a 'safe lynch') you are scum, and I get to jump on you."
Making people afraid to engage, and discuss shit is classic scum behavior, or at the very least very poor town gameplay. We want people to be talking, especially day 1. Announcing to the world that you'll be watching and harrassing anyone who comments on a vote train is just beyond bad for town.“
Can you actually believe people call this town motivated LOL.
Many, many players say a post rubs them wrong or a post pings them. It is NAI. Also I find you bring other games into this and how great you are and showing off your record as bragging.
I don't see a point other wise. You say it once or twice to make a point to have players pay attention towards the end of the day, not in the middle and not constantly. Otherwise it just reads as filler bragging and in the end bs.

Typically I would not want to list town reads from everyone in a game, but I hope by doing this SL will move this game forward.

Cakes (1) Pink
Bee (3) Raya, cakes, star

This voteless, chainless gamestate is kind of rough.

It's a cheat code for old arcade machines.

We have 10 days left and 11 players still need to pass the chain. Pass it now.

I'm waiting on an answer from the mod concerning the quiz.

Spring I don't think that matters regarding the chain.
You can do the quiz while we toss around the chain.
Someone else is going to want more than 24 hours to think out what they want to do.

My role forces me to always fail the quiz. It doesn't really matter if I full claim that part of my role I guess.

Yes, that's what I thought. I think your claim look legit so far. I'd like other player input on how likely beeboy is to be a ballsy fake claiming scum.
