Mastahcheese:I get this weird-ass feeling when I read your earlier posts, and when I read your more current ones.
A few people have read you as town-like, including myself, and it almost feels like you've grown bolder in your accusations since then, and less wary.
Like you're using that as some kind of shield, knowing that you can pull back on those in order to defend yourself with, in order to solidify your position, should someone get suspicious.
The thing is, I can't exactly quote individual posts to prove this point, because it's entirely a gut feeling. But it honestly feels like you've become more bold since people started supporting you.
There's not anything wrong with gut reads on people. I've won entire games before on hunches. That being said, I would actually have to, with the appropriate amount of personal bias, disagree with your statement here. If anything, I've drawn away from the game and become less intense recently, which I am consciously trying to rectify. (Being an IC in another game takes a lot of work.) Beyond that, I really can't defend myself from a gut read like that.
Are you looking for actual scum-tells, or are you looking for incriminating details?
I get what you're saying. You're postulating that I'm trying to fabricate my scumreads. Sure, that's a good way to scumhunt, but I am not doing it. I'm doing what I can to scumhunt and to avoid becoming hung up on trivia/semantics, because I find mislynches happen a lot when town gets distracted by those things.
There's a difference between "This looks scummy" and "I could make this look scummy if I tried"
...Why is this such a difficult concept for you guys?
Like I said above, a good term for this is fabricating scumreads. I disagree that I'm doing it, but I like that you are looking for that sort of thing.
Scripten: How important are reads to you? Do you think it'd provide any help to post them now?
Honestly? Not that important save for a player who is about to die or from someone who does a lot of analysis, like NQT. I post them because site meta here puts a lot of stock in them, but I don't see them as being all that useful. Maybe as a way to condense people's current states of minds, but usually the reasoning behind null and town reads can be safely ignored. (Withholding town reads is actually potentially pro-town, as it reduces the chance that scum will aim for the player who's practically conftown because they aren't really doing the same sort of scum- and town-hunting real townies are.)
Cheetar:Scripten: What about Deathsword's low activity justifies voting for him over Toonyman, who you saw as not scumhunting?
Toonyman's response before I unvoted him felt very town to me. It convinced me to look elsewhere for the time being. If you notice, I actually had a span where I wasn't voting for anyone. I considered going for Tiruin, but I wanted her to reply to
this post before I made my vote. Since then, I'd reread sections of the game, and I'd isolated Deathsword's posts, which convinced me to vote for him. (UXLZ's points were good, and they reminded me that he had not been inactive but had actually been active lurking.)
