about Hydrad: I think he might be scum here. That is, I feel that he's scum. But I'm not entirely certain about why I feel it, which is untypical. I could explain a few reasons though.
The first thing is, his posts are longer, and they have more content. It's probably reasonable to assume that Hydrad is still changing up his meta, but I find that his town self usually posts a lot of one-liners with little content.
I think these posts are problematic:
While I appreciate the towny vibes your getting from this I just want you to be aware that thats something that is really easily faked and if I did roll scum I would have said probably the exact same stuff. So I would be careful in giving town reads on people who give advice because I know that I will give advice to new players as town or scum.
Ya I just don't want people to get town reads on me for the wrong reasons. I feel town reads based on things like that are the first ones to fall apart. So while I'm hoping to get town reads on me I don't want them to get town reads on me for the wrong reasons. Although I guess I shouldn't technically care how I get a town read on me.
This just screams "LOOK AT THIS POST. SCUM WOULD NOT MAKE THIS KIND OF POST" to me. WIFOM - I guess? But town!Hydrad doesn't do these kinds of posts. He would just let it rest.
Another thing is his voting manner. He starts of with two extremely early votes, as it is typical for him, but then he doesn't vote at all. I'm not entirely sure, but I think his town self didn't do that.
Then there's the "let me help noobies" thing. I think this could be genuine!town!Hydrad, but it could also be letmedosafeposts!scum!hydrad. Of course, noone is really giving town points for that anymore, so meh it's probably pretty nullish.
I'm feeling even stronger about pit though. Yea, this is his first game, but again, I know him pretty well, and
I just don't think he is the kind of player who lurks in his first game. He usually has strong opinions, even if he isn't that experienced in something, and he isn't afraid to share them. Don't let this avatar fool you, the guy is not timid. I also don't buy that he keeps lurking because of my initial comment. But I could see scum!pit thinking, okay this kind be dangerous, let's start by staying in the background, I will probably just be ignored. That might not be very smart from a more experienced perspective, but he can't really know the concept of lurking.
vote: Pitfor now.
Andrew is somewhat scummy, but not as much anymore.
Awaclus is very towny. PPS, I'm not sure, he's hard to read. Qvist, also not sure, but he seems geniune, so slightly towny here. ADK, I think he has responded in a reasonable manner after his initial post, so town points for that. Hugov, I have no idea. He could easily be scum, but I wouldn't call this a scum
read. I just don't think this kind of style is hard to replicate, but he hasn't done anything that looks scummy. so, null.
PEE: oh, another long post. thanks for underlining my point.
