I just read the few pages that have popped up, but I don't have too much to say right now.
Andante's exuberance for the game is really nice, but I don't think I townread it yet; I'm always wary to conflate energy like that to alignment. I also had the thought that if Andante is scum, maybe Gamma is scum with her.
Kind of want to move my vote though, just don't know where right now.★★★- Holiday

Which ones, and why? You have thoughts on Andante but you seem reticent to share them, but I think that Andante is a topic of discussion right now and your input would be best put to use now.In post 154, T3 wrote:andante's posts just don't feel believable★★★- Holiday

I think you have done game related things is the thing, I'm just not sure which way it goes yet.In post 156, Andante wrote:I like Holiday!

Why would other people ignoring April make you think you're right? Wouldn't the idea be that: if a general consensus makes little/no comment on the list, and the consensus is going to be majority town, that there's not issue to be found with the reads list?In post 161, Andante wrote:
Like, April is feeling weird, idk if I'd call it town or maf cause it's almost too bold to be maf tbh with these reads lists. But there is no towny point to it.

I think there is a towny point to expressing early reads, even if there is little basis for them thus far. But I assume that there is something to it and it's not an arbitrary assignment.★★★- Holiday

I'm not T3 so I'm not going to offer my interpretation of T3's thoughts, nor would I ever believe I'm capable of understanding what goes on in his head, but I can see a world where that's a scummy line to someone. It's the kind of thing I don't split hairs over really.In post 171, Andante wrote:
April gave a list. ok whatever. T3 then proceeded to go "GAMMA IS SCUM FOR SAYING "guess fun isn't allowed"" then April move T3 to townier... Like, sure I don't tr gamma now, gamma is just coasting, but trying to push gamma as scum for the fun line??? it's a bad reason, yet april is all "T3 is town now!!!" So I want April to tell me why my scum lean on T3 is wrong, yet no... "I'll find out later" like what? do you have TMI and know? this is why I try to not take games seriously.... it's genuinely driving me crazyIn post 169, Holiday wrote:

I'd also like to believe that April wouldn't make that coy of a line as scum but they're probably brazen enough to if they were. If it's going to get under your skin, for the sake of your own enjoyment I suggest trying to leave it for /now/ and looking beyond that series of events.★★★- Holiday

I've caught up, but I'm having a hard time getting a grasp on this game right now.
T3 feels very... invasive, in his posts, like a pest. Burrowing into things and trying to undermine rather than doing anything that's meaningful. I could cherrypick from his ISO but I think some people have already pointed this out so hopefully this point is understood without context. "Bad vibes" in a nutshell.
Aza has written up the thoughts I have about Andante pretty well, at this point: the enthusiasm and energy is there but the actual content/logic being applied falls flat, and while it's hard to express why a scum player would make the points Andante has if you're applying it to a player with more experience... Andante lacks it, and thus is going to say things that are clunky as they learn what does and doesn't work. She's fallen away a bit too but it's not been that long, but perhaps the initial spurt of posting not being met with enthusiasm/picked at almost immediately soured her to posting for fear of making it worse.
Associated with this, if Andante is scum, osuka's interactions with/around her feel... weird to me. The aggression in 278 was offputting to me, and while osuka is apparently just like that as a player, it doesn't ring right when it's followed up with small defenses/an overall unease around her wagon without offering up a meaningful way of directing that suspicion. It's just there as a defense, and I wonder even if osuka could be scum without Andante being scum too and it's just an average white knight defense.
...not sold on this, though, because I thought Norwee was being wishywashy about osuka when they were speaking with one another which doesn't make sense if osuka is scum and then Norwee is also scum, but they're both a little strange to me so far. Between the two of them Norwee's townier but there are those little moments.
I'm going to wait for an updated vote count, but Andante/osuka hold my attention most right now.★★★- Holiday

The tonal ping faded from mind, honestly; it was a springboard for me to post when there wasn't much for me to comment on. Your presence, since then, has been mellow and "there" in a way that I don't find scummy.In post 500, Gamma Emerald wrote:That’s interesting, what happened to the tonal ping from earlier, what about my more recent posting outweighs that?

I find it more common than people being willing to read their teammates as town, and doubly so for newer players.In post 507, NorwegianboyEE wrote:Why is everyone so wary of bussing in this particular game.
Bad memories or something?
I'm unsure if you'll be able to find the "slip up" that you want, if I'm frank; there will be posts that you will read with suspicion but I think a smoking gun can be hard to find on day one. People are receptive already though to Andante being scummy enough though that you might not need the perfect case to kill someone when we're working with less information today.In post 508, Azaariah wrote:
well, to be honest, i dont totally believe some of the points i've said mostly because those are just attempts to explain the feeling that i felt when i read that one post of andante's. im pretty certain it comes from scum but am trying to find other more understandable ways to express this scum read because although only this part caught my attention, they must've slipped up elsewhere as well. since no one really agrees with the read that that one post is a scum claim, i've been looking other places and trying to prove it through different means.In post 497, Holiday wrote:Aza has written up the thoughts I have about Andante pretty well, at this point: the enthusiasm and energy is there but the actual content/logic being applied falls flat★★★- Holiday

If I am honest, you feel very reactionary right now Andante and not in a good way. Trying to call everything that’s been said about you bad, a garbage, a waste, it doesn’t help us understand why.
Edit: Anything other than this reaction? The game is short and there are things you can pick out to speak on if you want.★★★- Holiday

also, I troly appreciate waiting for me to enter to pounce on me and attack me for all the wrong I've done. How I talk? this is me, it's how I play, if you hate it? not my problem★★★- Holiday

UNVOTE:
I have been following some, but the last instance of posting that I was around for was unpleasant enough where I didn’t want to engage for a bit.
I am also busy right now but don’t think that I want to vote this anymore. Unsure who a good alternative is currently; I toyed around with voting Ger but that might be a clash of playstyle. (It was specifically giving Aza a naughty point for pushing T3, characterizing it as one failed push to another. It was the sort of statement that bothered me, because what is Aza supposed to do, simply not vote or suspect anyone?)
Other than that... trying to work through my feelings on Aza. To little success. They feel lost in their latest posts which feels a bit towny to me. Unsure.
Also been wondering here and there if April is playing a... floaty scumgame right now; the way they described Jeff’s posting gives me the same kind of feelings that I feel about their play. I don’t have the time now to try and substantiate that with context but when I’m home I’ll try.★★★- Holiday

I... don't really know how to reply to a scumread on me that is "I like what they say. Top scumread." It's just a... thing that I nod at, go 'okay' and then move on.
If the issue is my rate of posting, I don't intend to be very active this game nor do I have the time to do so, so I guess I'll just accept that as is.★★★- Holiday

I... started writing a post where I said "Oh, these both feel like swings and misses for wagons," but Aza on the last page was invoking WIFOM which I dislike, the sort of "why would I do this as scum" thing that I feel... scum often do a lot more than town. I feel then if they are scum though that it has been super... straightforward? "Push person. Failed? Next person."
...but I'm kind of loathe to give Ger any credit for pointing out that way earlier in the game, because I find his posting ineffectual and a blend of "Day 1 is not the best, boring, inaccurate" and then still doing things despite that which undermine the complaints. I chalked this up to disliking the play/mentality before but now I'm just more confused than anything else by the contrast in behavior. I like 970 as a post on a skim though, so... shrug. This is a useless ramble.★★★- Holiday

Almost50, Gamma Emerald, Andante, Dwlee99
April Ludgate, osuka, Azaariah, T3, geraintm
I opened up a notepad and put everyone's names into it and tiered them by feeling/vague memory of the game which... this list feels pretty poor, but I can't place why. I feel good about the top three being town, but the rest is "okay but null." or "not okay but nullish still". It doesn't feel like there's anyone obvious right now.
Part of it is putting both Azaariah and T3 into a tier together? I don't think they're S/S so there's one discrepancy. I don't think that it conveys maybe how unsure I am about people as well as I want but trying to sort with more tiers felt like a futile task.★★★- Holiday

Edit: Okay, then, the read itself isn't persuasive from April. You've given a reason you've taken back the read on me to some degree. Why are you tying your viewpoints changing to another player then, if April's posting isn't the basis but it's rooted in my distaste for some of your posting?★★★- Holiday

Okay, so then do you actually like April's scumread on me?
From what I understand of it, it's literally that they like what I post and I'm a bit more background-y, so I'm top scum. And people dislike that read/pressure around me, so it's a good sign (even though... I think most people townread or lean me to some degree? Not everyone, but more than not do.)
Maybe I'm more exasperated at her for throwing out something that I physically just throw my hands up at because it doesn't compute. To me it's either honestly, an ego-driven read to catch a "deepwolf" that doesn't exist or scum (which... I did say I had bad feelings about April before they doubled down on me being their top scumread). Both are very shitty situations.★★★- Holiday
