I can't figure it out. I can tell you it was this post that started pinging me:


But reading through it again I'm not seeing why.

Are you and Rarity avoiding talking about each other in the context of the game for a reason?

You were pinged because it was an inappropriately wordy post early in the game that suggests Viva wants to look like shes heavily involved when she could have made that post with 1/5 of the words. She also doesn't make any real reads!

I don't see it as a particularly scummy post at this point, of course. Scummier than townie? Sure.

Rarity posted:

Ok, realtalk this is a bad post. WM flakes out on his vote at the first sign of weakness in his case. He's more worried about what other people will think of him than what he thinks about FV.

I don't feel the same way. To think of WM as scum you have to almost think of them as Meinberg

A lot of his posts are sort of like he's super faking his interest and overblowing his emotions in general. I'm trying to decide if he's full of it or if he's just far more emotional than I remember.

That changes my perspective some but it's like they're SO nervous that they're unable to speak coherent sentences. Meinberg is like that - he struggles with social interaction, even on a forum interface.

That's how WM reads. To think they're scum, I would imagine a more reserved approach, especially if it was their first time. It's an all vanilla game. Why would they flop about like that as scum? In effect, I want to see more from WM. I think Opop is a vastly superior vote.

You don't think the small number of posts/short sentences used in those posts are reserved?

Reserved in a different sense of the word. I don't know how to describe it and its actually churning my stomach knowing I can't communicate this concept well, but I'm going to try. If WM was being careful as one would assume they would be on a first time scum, they wouldn't probably put themselves out there that quickly on such a silly, weak case. I don't see it. I think your overzealous approach of WM is more interesting, actually!

I'm not voting for you chieftain, why don't you "cool your jets" or, as they say in the colonies, "hang ten". There's a better vote option out today. You have plenty of time to care about the game later.

hey diqbutt, how much does opop flipping scum affect your read on me?

if you think I'm scum are you saying you believe me to be hard-bussing opop on the basis of you catching his slip?

If opop did actually scum slip and you exposed it I'm giving you a shitload of townie cred, which is what I'm anticipating... probably wouldn't entertain the idea of you bussing for a few game days (it's possible since I suppose anyone could have detected the slip and you might want to set yourself up to be an ~~~ENDGAME PARTICIPANT~~~

either way, you throwing a scum sus on me is pretty stupid, dumb dumb

it'd be cool if you and me had a slap fight and the scum team was you me and opop. I think that would be a masterplay and we'd almost certainly win I'm not sure if there are cop magic powers in this game tho that might be our undoing!

I'm having difficulty relating what you're describing with what WM posted. I wouldn't call what he was doing as putting himself out there, I'd say it's trying to sneak it through under the radar. To me his posts read a lot like someone trying to be careful.

And yes, I am taking a proactive approach here! Convincing other people to see my reads has always been the weakest part of my town game so it's something I'm trying to improve.

You're making a lot of assumptions here about how a newbie scum "would" play. I disagree with your opinion that there is only one way that new scum would play and that this isn't it.
