Observe: SSV over-eggs the pudding on his read on me. Meinberg throws down a vote, ljtrigirl pops in to agree with Meinberg without taking action.

I think Meinberg's vote so early on is too risky for typical scum play.
ljtrigirl though made a low effort post which appears to engage with the game but has no value.

Okay let's generate some content.

100YrsofAttitude posted:

I think we run a real risk of being steam rolled if we're not careful. Days promise to be fast and plurality favors apathy. Town has everything to lose by keeping quiet.

This is an odd post because everything it contains is self evident. I also don't like the use of 'we'.

if this post is bad enough to vote on for you, why did you find it voteable rather than Meinberg's post almost immediately following?

Meinberg's post has a lightness to it which I enjoyed. Looking back now though it is very white-noisy.

I do think that it's counter to how a town player should act (which is generally agreeable and having a "for the greater good" mentality.)

Sorry for being brusque friendo :)

But I don't think "agreeable" is conducive to good town play.

The vig question was pointless like when in the chat thread everyone posted pics of their phone backgrounds.
In context I'll give it the benefit of not being role-fishing, but it sailed close to the wind and I don't begrudge people's answers.

Thanks for the explanation, do you know my pal Gaspy?

Moving on, I don't think SSV's vote is bad. I am a little bit suss on Hal's friendliness towards me this morning. It was very much appreciated, but I am wary of potential scum buddying up.

Foo is at the top of my "look at this guy" list, but right now I feel like he's fading into the background despite making a lot of posts, which is probably a bad thing!!

Which of Foo's posts are bad? I'm interested as I have the opposite reaction.
Annoying yes, somewhat condescending yes, but reading townie to me.

SirSamVimes posted:

In the first post, you say you have the opposite reaction. In the second post, you say that you agree. Is your opinion reversed that easily?

My initial read was that "Foo's generating content in post, that's townie" and "Foo's giving me a hard time for being an idiot, that's townie."

But when you actually reread Foo's posts, most of them are questions about how other people feel without adding anything of use. Then he votes Taste with not a whole lot of justification - with that build up, it would have made more sense if Foo voted me instead of Taste.

I'm thinking there are better options than 100Yrs, eg still looking at Hal. ##unvote

I was hoping in Foo's wall of posts there would be some acknowledgment that most of the "content" he generated was just asking someone a question without providing any reads on people.

But whatever ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The greater question for now though is whether Foo, for all of his obvious and crippling flaws, is scum or simply a moron.

I'm thinking the latter right now.

Here are all the ways you've disappointed me

100yrs feels like a scum searching for a narrative,
Anon has been tunnelling me as usual,
Hal has been lurky as all getout then focuses on the person who voted him,
LJ I misread, but her fascination with Meinberg is weird and she probably needs professional help,
Meinberg has made about one good post, put a half-joking vote on me and has done nothing since,
SSV has tunnelled Hal like a dwarf,
Taste needs to post more,
The less I say about Foo the better
and Ecco was right about this game.

also I'm a stupid

Just how well are you reading the thread? You keep messing up on these small details. I never voted Hal, in fact I've just ignored his lurkness this whole time because it struck me as a waste of time.

I was referring to SSV.
