all the smiley faces. slight scum read.
This is just me. Check my one previous game, where I was also town.
On Day 1, she didn't talk about the actual game at all. Day 1 was surprisingly short, but still. lots of scum points for that.
This is my second game, and is bigger than the only other one I've played in before. It contains a bunch of you who've known each other for a while, so I was intimidated and didn't feel as comfortable speaking out as I did in the other game. Plus, the other game I was in was still going on for me to start with, and for a newbie with a really busy work/social life to suddenly be in two games at once was a struggle, so I focused on the game where more things were going on. Maybe it sounds scummy to you, but it's the truth.
"Okay, I need to get to posting some thoughts!" scummy. Reply #335 is the first actual post of content, and it doesn't start off well. "Look at me guys, I'm contributing, so I'm town right?!" it says.
I'm acknowledging that I wasn't very present, and responding in the most useful way I know how, which is to contribute to the game. Yes, I sounded forced and socially awkward/overconscious a few times, but I'm also doing what I can to help town.
Note the time of day that post was made -- 20.45 forum time is really late for me (in the UK), and I have a full-time job (plus lots of extra hours), so sometimes squeezing time for reads meant skimping on sleep. Some of my later over-reacting was also really late at night, which is something I need to be more careful about doing.
"I suppose I should also react and actually vote!" still feels forced to me. still scummy.
Yeah, I have no explanation for that one, other than that it didn't
sound scummy to me in my head when I typed it. I just wanted to have recorded my ideas first, and then voted as a result of them, so it felt kind of logical to split them into two posts with some kind of bridge between them. I agree it sounds awful and forced in retrospect.
Huh... look at this:
Roadrunner is quite susceptible to pleas like diedre's, so RR is in a moral dilemma
If you're confident that he's scum then you shouldn't let it perturb you :-)
I'm not confident that he is scum.
Okay then!
Unvote
SA's vote was on diedre, since she said she found him scummiest after a reread. Yet RR saying he's not confident that diedre is scum prompts her to unvote. If SA or RR is scum, I would look very closely at the other as a partner. for now though, scum points. This unvote is worse than her vote on diedre.
I posted my exact reasoning for this whole weird thing before! Go and check post #456. I was
trying to be a smart townie and not need all the dots joined up when I'd spotted a voting pattern by more experienced players. RR came in with a weird diedre vote right at the start of D2 (which he
still hasn't really explained, BTW), having just hinted at some serious scum-reading potential with his opinion of Seprix (who was sadly also dead by then). Then he voted diedre with no explanation, and nobody questioned it (except maybe gkrieg, who didn't get ever a response), and then Silver joined the wagon, again with no explanation. Rather than asking, I tried to work out a logical sequence of events, and thought that Silver read RR as a cop sort of role, and had followed him onto diedre from there. That's why I expected RR to have confidence in his diedre vote -- because I thought it came from night info that nobody was wanting to have derpy newbies questioning too much.
She wants to get on the silver wagon after silver claims delayed doctor. don't know what to think of that, but it's not townie. probably more null than anything.
I'd never even heard of a delayed doctor before, and it sounded really weak, and a lot like a convenient claim. Personally, I feel like the scums are doing well in this game (since I have no clue whatsoever what's going on most of the time), so I wondered whether it could really be the "big names" like Silver and Gkrieg who were just totally messing with the rest of us. I'm
still paranoid something like that's happening now, even though I'm willing to go with gkrieg and iguana being ICs now.
she votes for me, her second vote of the whole game, for me being "opportunistic," which I still just don't understand. scummy for lack of votes, tho.
That may have been OMGUS, but might I add that you had just been personally quite offensive to me? I was
trying to give you the benefit of the doubt by asking whether your post, which doesn't even scan in terms of grammar, was really meant to refer to me. However, you using the "two scums" thing to vote for me was just absurd.
"You're gonna want to lynch me if [chairs] flips town!" her response to gkreig wanting her to steal my hammer. Slightly scummy because of this attitude of self-preservation, which has been pervasive throughout the whole game. Scum is more concerned with saving themselves than town is.
I think I've explained elsewhere (possibly in my first game) that I'm used to a win condition that includes being alive at the game end, because that's how 95% of my werewolf games were played. I know it's not how it works here, but thinking past my own death is still not automatic. I'm working on it.
She tries to figure out some likely partnerships, which is kinda townie. So town points there.
And then her latest post just feels off to me in my gut somehow.
The one where I urge Gkrieg to look at you and RR as a possible pairing himself? What else can I do? I still have suspicions on Diedre, but he's certainly not the puppetmaster in any pairing he's in. If Gkrieg's experience is telling him Deidre's town, and he and Iguana are happy about Calamitas, then there
is no other pairing that makes sense.
