So scummy things about the igu reads list. there's a lot of stuff early...
Wow, lots happened. Including some reads lists. Now the game feels like it is really moving.
applauding town for making progress is scummy. I'm sure there are some players who do it as town, but I'm reasonably certain that new players are more likely to do it when they're scum. Like, "the game moving, and I'm helping!". Town does not need to say this.
Time to post my own reads list I think.
"... because that will make me towny!"
The claim means a lot. The posts pushing the game further help more. Some people are leaning slight town on Yuma; to me Yuma is the only obv!town player here. Like, I would be really surprised if he was fakeclaiming his role, and scum with a random vig doesn't make any sense at all.
Excessive buddying of a "semi-ic" is undoubtedly a scumtell (for newer players). Have you ever seen a new scum do the opposite?
From here on, it's less clear, but the whole thing is still scummy for being very, very easy to fabricate. This is the kind of list that everyone can write, all day. It pretends to be content, but it's not.
Long, fluffy, and careful. Look at this:
Haddock: Like a lot of people, I'm having trouble reading Haddock. I want to say that most of his posts seem helpful, and that puts him on the slightly townier side of null for me.
Awaclus & Hydrad: I haven't seen enough from either player to have an opinion one way or another. Would like to see more attention paid to both.
I would also prefer more null reads.
He's close enough to null that I could still be convinced he's town, but still looking scummier than most other people.

That was the bulk of it, I think. It is overall just exactly what a new player's scum list will look like.
