The Keats push is pretty wtf and I get strong "no D1 reads let's dunk binus" energy from it. Not because Keats himself is townie (he's probably the grayest of my reads right now), but because it feels lazy as hell.

Bruh. If this is Scum!Meen someone has hacked his account.

I was re-reading Plas because I felt iffy there but in a quick skim I think I feel iffy because his reads seem to be backwards to mine, which, eh, happens.

I'm gonna open a different melon here. Or a different wolfie, I guess.

Sand feels relaxed and I for one am more than happy to play with happy!Sand, but his actual content has got me wondering a little bit. Specifically, he feels weirdly snipey at things, like in those:

Sandwolf posted:

Cube’s reaction to Shell did ping me a bit, Zoya is also pinging me a bit

Shell town tho agreed @shwinnebego

Sandwolf posted:

lmao this seems like such an egregiously loving bad thing to post I have to assume you’re scum?

Sandwolf posted:

Don’t like this hedge on Keats

Sandwolf posted:

Definitely bad now that he’s posted immediately

There is some questioning of people in his posts too, and I agree with him that the mechanics chat probably was a bore to anyone not involved in it. But I can't help but feel Sand is just slightly pulled back this game, and I don't really like it.

PS. Unrelated to TMor's scummyness or lack of, the "All replacements are scum" theory is a) absolutely false, at least for SA and b) sucks when you're actually modding and need to find a replacement, AND when you are the person doing the mod a solid by jumping onto a game midway.

So, please, can we not?

I think Cloaca posting that spreadsheet is pretty townie really, weird to jump on that by Sandwolf, but does that make Sandwolf scummy? Possibly! Otherwise Sandwolf feels only mildly engaged thus far so I can't read much else in his posting.

Actually I took a more detailed look at Zoya past the weird tonal shifts thingies and her scum-related posts are more than light:


Zoya posted:

cube, maybe? the shell response was weird and felt like scum trying to make town sound like they have TMI, but also this game started sooner than i expected and my attempts to catch up with all these fuckin numbers and letters have me realizing that this setup is significantly more complicated than i realized

Cube is scum, TMor is a replacement and therefore scum, couple pokes at Shwinn and Plas with no other followup, Maer is goofy, TMor is a replacement and therefore scum.

I get the RL issues, I really do. But Zoya is here today, and what she's putting out really doesn't feel like someone scumhunting, it just feels like going through the motions and just sitting on the easiest lurker callout vote of the game.

To clarify some things about submitting fish for judging and winning powers because they are not very clearly explained in the OP.

You submit fish for judging in your confessional, same as fishing. Preferably please get your fish submitted in before the voting deadline, but I'll give an hour grace period after hammer to get them in, longer in case of an early hammer. If you don't get your submission in by then 2 of your biggest fish of different species will be automatically selected for you.

The sizes of the winning fish for each species will be announced, but the players that submitted them will not be publicly announced.

Yeah shwinne's posts about keats are pretty scummy. There were a couple games there were shwinne was putting in effort and making good points and while I don't expect that all the time this is such a far cry from that and also isn't in his sort of stream of consciousness/give no fucks style and it feels off.
