Mega, I feel like you got pretty into mechanics chat last game we played together, but I don't get the sense that you're as interested in doing that here. Is there a reason for this?

Looking more at other folks in general, binus is especially jumping out to me right now. He has a decent-ish number of posts (well, more than me at least :v:), so he looks actively but they're all fairly low-effort at best. Jokephase stuff is, well, jokephase stuff so I'm not gonna look critically too hard there unless given a reason to. More telling is that his contribution to mechanicschat is that he is bad at Literally Everything. A point he reiterated a few times just so we'd really know that he's totally useless, no really:

Not really a great look there, but that's fine. What about scumhunting? Well, I must admit he's taken the bold tack of giving Town reads and nothing else;

Trying to do some work on the app isn't great. :v:

Gonna put a soft vote on ##vote KB for the moment. While I think that poking and scunhunting in mostly mechanical chat probably isn't an awful idea, I hesitate because I think there's a slightly higher chance the builder might be there. That said, I feel KB is in the category at the moment right above that category - mostly mechanical chat with some degree of effort to be helpful - almost seems like the sweet spot to aim for. I also disagree a smidge with the read on Mega at the moment, but I admit to needing to poke into that a little more as well.

hmm I disagree, everyone is going to be building during the day. Progress is going to be made, scum can only do so much. It's like claiming the train cars in Shine. More concealment on daily activities gives more room for fudging and fakeclaims.

And this isn't two-thread soldiers where we gotta worry about leaving plausible deniability for our scum.

I don't know about the train cars in Shine.

Any information we can keep from scum is good. If we all claim where we're going to build, they can more efficiently distribute their actions to stymie the builds. If we're all scattershot, then that's not possible. Progress is going to made, scum can only do so much, so we may as well make them possibly waste their actions here and there.

Keeping information of this type obfuscated, especially if people don't claim until the next day, just gives scum more space to hide in. Without that information, it'll be difficult to get a handle on what projects scum disrupts.

I am not lurking. I am in the top half of posters and have routinely provided my reads. Mainly who I think is town, because I don’t have any scummy reads right now, but still. I’m giving reads. As far as showing up for mechanics, that isn’t true at all. I have stated my attributes are useless and after misreading something in my role said that I do not want to go into battle. other than that I have said nothing about mechanics.

one thing I'm interested in too is people claiming what they're gonna build. Like if everyone says they're gonna split up into these different groups, and everyone says they're gonna pick one certain thing in the branch, but next day we find out we ended up with a vote on Melee Weapons instead of the Walls everyone agreed were awesome, there's gonna be some splainin to do.

And we can look to which projects didn't progress, to try and find likely deserters who crashed that vote.

You can add Jen x to the top of my scum list. At least your post is an actual case. Though I did notice that you don’t actually conclude with a final town or scum read of me. And I routinely give town reads early in the game. I don’t have “even a little idea of who’s scum” because it’s day 1. I’m not sure what you’re expecting.

I actually hadn’t read it but now that I have, I admittedly don’t find it super scummy even though I disagree with it. I don’t think that scum claim thing you did was overly scummy, or I can at least see what you were trying to do. You’re reaction to AA seemed to be from a town perspective.

Actually, the part of that jenx post that pings me the most is the “other reads/thoughts”

thoughts:

- Keane is good for digging at things which could be bad
- Ruggan’s post about not forgetting execution phase and then doing nothing towards that is bad
- mega’s self-defense is incredibly stupid but that very stupidity makes me hesitant
- PMush jumping in and out sucks
- Bif has good reasons and aside from caveating a vote looks good
- I’ve agreed with KB but my scattered notes don’t say why, thanks me of 30 min ago, I’ll take her townread regardless
- amni’s “I’m not voting, let me fumblingly say why” is not coincidentally the person I have my eye on if Solus fades, pointing out chainsaw explicitly is a plus tho

You're right, I didn't really look too hard at the second part of her post. Several of those things are just "why would you even say that", like the Keane and KB lines. PMush and Ruggan feel like they could be soft bussing reads.
