I can't even see why you're on House. I'm trying to get you to follow up on your pokes because you're asking questions but doing absolutely nothing with them. You've done a lot with asking others for reads and it's clear you know my style from the quotes and not asking me for reads.

What I want from you, is to convince me house is a good vote.

Not a fan of his disengagement with the game after the Gamma spat, especially considering he scumreads his most popular counterwagon.

I'm disinclined towards breaking that momentum just to build a wagon on a slot I don't feel very strongly about, and that other players have shown a lack of interest in voting alongside.

When you see me asking someone for reads, do you not also see me discuss those reads? Also, I throw out a lot of questions, and don't necessarily post my thoughts on

every

response I get to them. If there's a specific question of mine you'd like more insight on (why it was asked, what I made of the answer, other potential answers I may have expected) please point them out!

In post 858, Thor Ragnarok wrote:Town have the habit of refreshing and checking the thread at a rate far more frequent than scum. This is because the interest for solving the game can often be far higher than scum's desire to lie. Some scum can also be scared of opinions of their posts after they post, and may even close the thread entirely for some time, while town will eagerly refresh the page to hear opinions on what they've just posted.

I've been rereading the thread and I had an idea. There's a phenomenon on this site known as page topping, often conjoined to one word as such; PageTopping.

This phenomenon results in players wanting to score the top post of new pages. The top post of each page are divisible by 25, so post 500 would be a PageTop, and so would post 975.

Now, the interesting thing about these PageTops are that you can only perform them if you are present on the page and see the opportunity for one arise. To be present on the page, you must have refreshed it recently.

See where I'm going with this? In addition to town being more able to efficiently perform PageTops, they are also just more active on average, and will naturally land more PageTops over time. This results in town scoring far more PageTops on average than scum.

Here's the data:

I'll compile this with my data on the number analysis later to create a combined reads list.

Sure, but town also has a motive to contribute which in turn makes them appear to contribute. Why do you think it was the appearance of contributing rather than actually contributing?

You must get this a lot, then.

That it fails to contribute? Why does that mean an attempt wasn't made? Shouldn't it be evident that Thor believes these weird theories are productive?

Do you think it's scummy?
