I keep bouncing round the idea that bad posting doesn't equal scum and that acting like it does is disengenious. Scum is ultimately a self concious role and i dont think posters- especially on day one take that into consideration.

I think lurking is a much better indication than just ripping out awful posts, town shouldn’t be afraid to post

it can be, depending on when and how someone lurks

Eh I think it is sometimes. Town can find it hard to get into a game, but scum usually got it even worse. But D1 is probably the worst time to try and judge it cause a lot of people have a hard time finding their footing regardless of alignment.

I've reread Hum now and yeah, I could see this. When he's scum Hum will often hang back not actually doing anything, just showing up to show his face and fit in. Which people will usually let him do, since he'll drop some great lines so he doesn't come off as awkward.

People lurk for an assortment of reasons, don’t fall into the same trap other players do of ascribing a scum motivation to every lurker.

I'm also a bit suspicious of Mr. Hum, because they voted for ASF right after ASF said they were dealing with a fairly serious case of the flu. Then while I was writing this post he dropped 4 posts in a row immediately after he got called out for dropping in and out. ##vote Mr. Humalong

This post is hilarious when you read back and see the sum of your "content" to that point is:

I’m actually okay with a binus vote, otherwise I’d vote sirtommygun

Sandwolf posted:

If binus stays largely quiet for the rest of the day I’d actually push to go back there

Sandwolf posted:

Though this feels like Scumalong

Then you double down on this being content by saying:

Sandwolf posted:

I have stated pretty cleanly what my reads are (binus, tommygun, now Hum) and I am in the process of trying to get the person with the most votes to talk more.

Who do you think is scum Obama? -100 points if you say it’s D1 and you can’t make any reads because your brain can’t do anything until the fictional day turns over

Stating "I'd vote that guy" is not making a read. You never mention STG again. I'd wager that was your distancing attempt.

Catching up- Sandwolf’s pressure earlier on read towny to me. Solus’ defense to pressure earlier reads less so, but I’m having trouble articulating exactly why, I’ll try to give it a better shot when I’m not posting on my quick break.

sirtommygunn posted:

If you want to assign some intent to my shitposting I'm trying to get scum to target me so they'll waste their night action killing a complete idiot.

This is a post I don’t like at all, though. That said, if STG is new(er) I’ll stick it on the back burner for now.

Should be back in about an hour and will have more time to dive in deeper.
