I see the rationale for voting pin, but I don't have a high degree of confidence in seeing a scum result. It's mostly a meta read, I feel like they always start off snipey and then evolve along with the game. I would prefer to see their game develop.

Well before making that vote, I went over a few of her recent games in Votefinder and saw that in games where she's Town, she's similarly terse, but there's a lot more venom behind those posts than here.

However, I didn't initially find one in which she was Scum. So just now I went back to find one. The one I found is a previous Ecco game, A Gateway to Greed) and there too, she was spotted by someone D1 (Max) for exactly the reason I just said, namely "throwing shade but in a testing-the-waters sort of way."

So, while I don't want to rely on meta for someone I haven't personally played with before, her history is at minimum not inconsistent with what my gut was telling me.

The other thing I noticed from all those games is that Pin always seems to open games by claiming VT regardless of her actual role/alignment and she didn't do that this game. But that may just be a gimmick she decided to drop for whatever reason and not indicative of her role/alignment here one way or another.

I wouldn't say so. Though I don't think picking fights early on is particularly scummy anyway. Well one day 1 and probably 2 it's fine. Do you feel like you've been picking fights?

Yes because I'm town. I do feel good so far about somb, I don't feel strong about it.

##vote PinterestMom

Since she's been around enough that it's not apathy lurking. And she's been pushing small amounts of shade here and there but not in a sufficiently aggressive way that she's likely to be held accountable for any of it later. Last three posts for instance:

I think this is a decent point.

MisterJed posted:

I’m new but I used to read games a long time ago. Check out the tiger king game for my antics

That's a big ask. Do people think that when you tell people to read a whole game to see your posts in context that they will?

I'm going back and forth on birb being legit right now or not. They are very obviously all over the place in a way I would not usually associate with either town OR scum birb? I kind of wanna let that simmer to see what happens.

Not feeling the Jed! push tbh, are they a vet I don't recognize or a newbie? I think their pressure on birb is actually fairly good, actually.
what jed push

This might just be gut and weigh in if you disagree but looking at this again this feels like kind of an overaware teamthink slip wrt Jed & thinking he had pressure on him, like he was drawing on a larger discussion oot. I mostly like mon otherwise though so idk.

The claim doesn’t necessarily conflict. The posting tone seemed off for a hard-claimed Miller. The imagined miller backgrounds conflict with my flavour though.

Good morning everyone,

##vote Pinterest Mom . I tend to agree with xopods assessment in that their posts seem to all be dancing around Toal and somber posts and testing the waters there, and with very little defense put up it makes me think there’s something scummy going on. Right now I think adding a bit of pressure is in order. Pinterest, I realize Toal is being vague and non-comittal, but bringing them up as a distraction when you’re under fire reads off to me.

Pmom's posting doesn't stand out to me. Tone reads similar to what I remember.

I like Mona's try-hard posting for town atm.

Still confused about Hawke claiming as much as possible role information, for no good reason. But again it still doesn't read scummy.

Oops. Didn't notice that at the time, only noticed in the other games because it was so consistent (and then failed to come back and check because I figured it probably didn't matter since she'd done it as both Town PRs and as Scum).

Well, recent enough that my non-archives-having rear end can read them. I did notice that most are at least a year old.

Big dislike of this post:
- it’s a carbon copy of a (wrong) contention sandwolf posted yesterday regarding moi;
- the idea that people being cased shouldn’t post reads or talk about other posters because it’s some kind of deflection is bad and would kill the game if people actually followed it

I see navy’s point about the dancing, but yeah the deflecting bit doesn’t make sense and “pin being under fire” - under fire from who?

also Toal I’m awake to this having dealt with
