Mini Normal 2205: RotITGBSMoD [game over!]

[InsidiousLemons]

I can tell Osuka is trying to sort people by conversing with a wide variety of players. This to me is genuine scum hunting.

call me pocketed but isn't this a perfectly appropriate response for 413?

it's the complete avoidance of VFP's request for even one specific post that pings for me. the question "at what post did you feel osuka was scumhunting" is answered with yet another general statement, rather than just taking the time to find one of multiple posts of yours (313, 325) which exemplify the strategy he's talking about. it feels intentionally standoffish. you can see more of a similarly hostile/paranoid mentality in 425. so much nervous, agitated energy is present in the posts where he's being pressured and it feels driven by a desire to get people to talk about anyone but himself.

[PawnsGambit]

I'm not irritated by anything, if anything you're irritated that the majority of the players are null or town on me and that I'm not townreading you.

I am caught up, I read regularly even though sometimes I do not post.

It's entirely my fault, but I have yet to interact with players directly, which is my favored method for evaluating alignments.

so you openly admit to lurking and you say favor interacting with people directly to evaluate alignment

why the fuck havent you done that then?

[osuka]

VOTE: Andresvmb

i think you should change your definition of the word defending tho

????????????

[osuka]

at this point i find myself wondering how is it that people think im controlling the game because i really dont feel like i have a great grip of what the fuck is going on, in all honesty

[Save The Dragons]

that was to pawniard who thinks voting for pawniard is defending robert for some reason

[osuka]

Upon seeing more

Anya

posts, I am less confident in my earlier town read; her iso feels like someone spinning her heels.

explain

Green Crayons

' posting is opaque to me, for lack of a better word. I would say... it feels like there's an agenda somewhere, but it's being hidden, resulting in voids in the flow of ideas. How poetic was that?

so... you think this slot is scum? why are you being so soft on gc?

Surprise, I'm (cautiously still) moving

Pawn

out of the litter box into the kitten drawer. I see a whole lot of attention-grabbing terrible logic and cornered animal lashing out. His bad pushes get backlash but he doubles down like a townie instead of letting go like a good little scum.

why does doubling down make him townie? do you think pawn vs lemons is tvt? tvs? svs?

Salsabil Faria.

I have formed an opinion on this player slot but it could be the kind of reason that will get me modkilled.

what the fuck?

I've grown to like

Save The Dragons

as town so I will move this player from "ambiguous" to "kitten."

explain

[osuka]

Save The Dragons - We have quite similar reads which makes me think he's town. Seems to be trying to hunt.

???

Robert M Hunter - 449 readslist feels ok. Also I'm apparently pointed and fearless so consider me pocketed.

?????

Andante - The reaction to Robert was scummy. It was taken way too seriously which came off as trying to force a scumread. That said, I don't think scum purposefully makes themselves stand out like this. We do have the same insidious read which is a +1. Also hope the job interview went well.

????????????

do you just townread people who have the same reads as you? what the fuck? i can't think of a worse way to play the game

either you have no genuine reads whatsoever and you're just making shit up and going with it as you go, or it's just _that_ easy to pocket you and you're a liability. which one is it?

[osuka]

Dear Lemons,

Regarding osuka, I certainly have no reason to think they are scum at the moment, so they are a default town read. It's as simple as that. Like any default read, it is open to be revisited if I hear them squeak. In the meantime, I am enjoying their posts.

You could be right about Pawn, and I could be wrong. You may have a point with the part about "wanting to look confident but scared to overcommit."

I actually forget why I read VFB as town, but I iso'd everyone in alphabetical order so I read all his posts and made that conclusion. I am bit sleepy right now but I'll be glad to check again tomorrow.

you default to townreading people? what the fuck???

[osuka]

this is amateur hour

[osuka]

I think it’s possible that the Scum are actually trying to get away with my murder here. Fascinating.

please elaborate

[osuka]

It's not so much that Robert's reads were serious, it's how unconcerned he is with making friends.

for the millionth time on this page: what the fuck?????

why is being not concerned with making friends a reason to scumread someone?

[osuka]

like, when did THAT happen? doesn't scum benefit much more from "making friends" than town?

[osuka]

i think 425 is an example of a scumpost that can come from a VI. if town is playing this game stupidly or if a given player is particularly bullheaded, can you not see that post coming from town?

[osuka]

that was to pawniard who thinks voting for pawniard is defending robert for some reason

the question marks were on the vote

why andres?

[osuka]

like what the fuck? that vote only makes sense to me if you accidentally voted the wrong guy and never noticed

[Save The Dragons]

you mean going back to the guy i was scumreading most before?

[osuka]

yeah but that kinda came out of nowhere didn’t it? he hadn’t posted in a while and the conversation didn’t really have to do with him do the vote was really out of left field

[Save The Dragons]

i was just returning my vote back where it belonged

[osuka]

okay, why do you think andres is scum?

[osuka]

you’ve said something about getting nervous vibes and gut but not much else that i recall. do you have anything you can point at?

[PawnsGambit]

Being overly antagonistic usually leads to getting yourself eliminated rather than your scumreads.
