This reasoning still applies, I think tgp is trying to get read as "bad town"

can you explain where he said "I may be bad but not scum"? and also what makes you think the second post is less confident than the first post? I'm reading them as the opposite.

This is not quite "I may be bad but I'm not scum" but it's close enough. "Feels a little off" is something you'd use to describe a post from someone you were otherwise townreading, not a hard scumread usually.

what information do you expect to get from a wagon that interacting with me wouldn't give?
I actually dont have much thoughts on your jv vote!
Or more accurately, the jv vote by itself is fine and i dont have an opinion on it, but the lack of contributing real content (i.e. in that you only made an rvs vote) at a stage of the game where there was actually real things to talk about felt kinda scummy from you
Idk if i'm necessarily expecting a particular bit of information from wagoning you, so much as it was a: 'i'm trying to get your attention and lets see what you'll do next!' type vote
Also i'm like soulreading you as scum off your entrance so decided to vote you till i got more to work with, which would hopefully be prompted by being voted

the entire lilith wagon feels manufactured and VOTE: penguinpower is pinging me especially hard, as is hoopla for what boils down to opportunistic wagon hopping.
Starts off highly apologetic. Why such emphasis?

This early in the game I don't think that thinking of wagons as CWs is a town oriented mindset. In the town mindset it's a CW if and only if you suspect the target of the 1st wagon. In the early game we have multiple wagons which are on unknown alignments and we don't know whether the 2nd one is in response to the 1st one unless it's either stated directly as such or if there are signs that it's competitive.

Indirectly scumreading Hoopla but nowhere in this ISO is it made clear why Hoopla would be a scumread.

This is indicative of scum caught for the wrong reason. Though it is pretty weak for that tell coming from someone who hasn't really been under heavy suspicion. I'm not the only one who thought this.

a new wagon started by town that scum!hoopla jumped on
Again with the apologies. I don't think I have played with TGP enough times to be able to say for certain, but this is pretty early in the game to be so worried about how one's posting looks and it seems perhaps out of character.

So you think that voting me while I'm away is going to make me come back and produce content?

Why was Hoopla's vote jump scummy?
It wasn't directly that scummy (outside of the fact that i believe wagon hopping like that is inherently slightly more likely to come from scum trying to find a miselimination to join) but i was pinged by the subsequent Penguin interaction with that.

Eh, fair enough. I'm used to much more though it is extremely early still.
I'm certain TGP has been in enough games to not be considered in that category. I'm just not sure I have a strong meta handle yet.
