Butter new to me other cooking on it. Dunno why I haven’t done that yet
Butter's mostly for cooking on, but it certainly mixes in once it's a bit melted.
Please tell me you gave me a slight town read for the food conversation? I have been read by food preference type stuff in like three years.
the underlined just feels like a ballsy thing for someone who doesnt really like to be scum to write i guess, writing that out it feels more like a post-hoc justification but i've always just vibed with it since first seeing it. it just feels town

Oh. I think I like this.
Too early town reads make me a little paranoid sometimes when I don't understand where they're coming from. I have a bit of a reputation for looking really town when town and being hard to mislynch, and also people think I OMGUS for some reason, so scum sometimes take the tact of town reading me early. But then I get frustrated when I'm scum read as town, so really I'm just never satisfied.
Hi I'm hyped to play!!!!! Lots of cool people, I got so excited seeing I was placed in this game - I know some people already (yes hi Empoof for one!!) and am particularly excited to play with Voxx (and hope he's town), but am also looking forward to getting to know everyone that I don't!!
I've never played phases as long as this before so I'm not too sure what to expect from it being different, but it's always exciting experiencing new stuff like this so I'm sure it'll be fun!!!
Entrances I've liked include Trobairitz's/Empoof's/Tubba Fett's/maybe Tammy; liked in this case may or may not mean liked as in alignment-wise!!
Empoof 'tell' is mostly just that he's better and looser as town, and his wolf posts tend to be a lot more surface level and forced. It's both a volume tell and a depth/nuance tell imo.
I do think that volume tells aren't as reliable in 2-week phase games since there's the added factor of intentionally throttling back as town which confuses things. Mostly just treat him like any other player, but if it feels like he has to force himself to post, squint at him aggressively. And maybe lynch him.
Re: RE (heh heh), it's useful info to have I guess? I feel like it's something they'd do as either alignment though, either because they think it'll be easier to accurately read them as town, or their scumbuddies are hyping them up to post their way out of scum meta this game.
I might go poking around in that game at some point to get a comparison factor, or might make a teammate do it for me because I'm lazy, WHO KNOWS. I'm treating this game as pretty low effort for a while - gonna just poke around, get some town reads, let thread breathe, and kill someone not being villagery on D1.

@Trobairitz give me the over under on why you have such a strong town read on SC and why I keep thinking I shouldn't have gotten a town read for my earlier posting
Re: RE (heh heh), it's useful info to have I guess? I feel like it's something they'd do as either alignment though, either because they think it'll be easier to accurately read them as town, or their scumbuddies are hyping them up to post their way out of scum meta this game.

Okay on Empoof.
For RE, have you played with them or seen them play? Such that you think it's something they'd do as either alignment? I don't recognize the names of any of their team. I mean sure there's the possibility of the team telling them to post their scum game, or that it's a particularly bad scum game that isn't really representative of what their scum game looks like. I didn't look at their actual posting in that game, maybe later. The thing I was thinking that it might be town indicative was dependent on their experience level. And actually they've been here since June of last year with over a thousand posts, so maybe there's meta here that would be more useful, I thought the join date was later when I looked at it earlier. But anyway, their start date is in November at MU, and I tried to see what their start date at their home community was, but I couldn't find anything, anyway I was thinking that someone with a relative low experience might actually think that meant something or that they were helping in getting properly read whereas I'd probably read it as scummier from someone who has a lot of experience.
I think I'm overthinking it actually and OH I just realized you said their scum buddies having them post it to hype them up and not their teammates which doesn't actually change my understanding so never mind.
Well, my alignment does pop up pretty easily, but it takes time. I have to have content to question and analyse first. I have also delved into VCA analysis (partial success), interaction analysis (once, but it worked) and searching dead people for clues (it would've worked if I pay attention). Now that I've sold myself as a good NK, how are you Trob?
I have played with a majority of the playerlist and my partners have filled in the blanks, so I hope we can have a good game.
everything about this just seems so honest and innocent i'd feel like a jerk if i scumread it lmfaooooooo. like the unprompted-ness of it (like i said "i heard you alignment tell easily so go do that" but that doesnt really correlate to this) just feels super earnest and not really the kind you would see from a player who supposedly alignment tells easily, i guess. i think this post in a trobairitzy way would be out of my scumrange as well lol, i dont think my dumping earlier pg 1 is an adequate parallel tho
like i said, Plenty of Soul Searching and the Blitzing of Chakras has revealed to me that ScarletCelestial is the type of person who's just easy to read. that combined with her first post just culminated to townieness. i guess i could stretch that further and say that she kept the conversation going to prod me is something else town indicative but thats not the type of reasoning i jump to, but it is something i think about when im trying to explain a gutread i guess.
~~
i've actually read one of your ms games (didnt immediately register you were empoof lol, otherwise I would have said something earlier) but i dont really have a solid personality profile on you to really answer that? like idk i dont know your scumrange or your own perception of it, i dont think i could give a genuine answer to why you dont think the breakfast conversation could have been town indicative or why you don't think us agreeing on an early townread would be town indicative. i obviously think it's townie, but not to the same extent i got from tammy and scarlet (i'm also biased in knowing both are typically easy to read players, while I've only seen you play town once and iirc your slot was. somehow the game ending mislynch). like i guess you probably just see that as normal conversation you're capable of posting as either alignment? which is fair and sometimes how i perceive my own posting but people are always going to view your posting in a different light since they have their own perspectives by virtue of just having a role pm so thats not really how it winds up working in actuality.
like i see intent in talking to tammy, sure i dont know the full story of it sure (why breakfast? why tammy?) but all i care about is what i think is going to help me pinpoint your alignment. and i think prodding someone and bringing out a conclusion from it is generally a town indicative thing. so even if there isnt intent the entire time from your perspective im reading into an intent being there that makes sense with your actions. just from personal experience things i view as tells are generally accurate and make sense to me, even if they aren't deliberately there per se i'm still going to see them and read out of them
also if the above is a wild misinterpretation of your question then lol im an idiot and thats #facts
im doing some more soul searching rn though my vote is kind of losing steam i think, stay tuned
Oh lord you read that game, I'd blocked that one out. First game with Titus too. RIP that was the first game I used a notebook to do VCA and partner pairings.
I would say that Scarlet has some incredibly good tone as scum (reference: Creatures Mash) so I'm probably more wary of them being held so highly so early. Might have been projecting that onto you, thinking other people should feel that way. Don't really see that post personally as super genuine but I can see you thinking it.
Solid response.
Don't... really like you editing your post after the fact but meh. That's more me being picky.
You over RE? Done with that business?
If a wolf has posted so far who do you think it is?
I feel like I'm not reading posts so far, like they're just washing over me sometimes. I think most of page 1 I couldn't tell you what was said outside tammy and I talked about breakfast and trob townread it. And Voxx was /there/.
Grapefruit push feels weird right now but it initially felt good when I was on my phone. Don't really know why.
@Tammy
I've played since late 2016, I think. Probably newer than a good number of people here, but not entirely new. It wouldn't be something I'd force down others' throats, but I do think my town game is significantly stronger than my scum game (mainly because I enjoy towning more), and it reflects in my post counts and probably in a couple other places. So the choice is yours if you'd like to read into it or not
Part of the reason I posted the link was I saw others sharing their "tells" as either alignment, I figured why not do it myself in the most straight-forward way possible. It's not unlikely the question would pop up eventually, anyway.

Mostly vibes, except for Tammy who seems like obvious town (as obvious from the perspective of someone who's never played with them before) and Tubba whose entrance was extremely generic. Everyone else null or various degrees of neutral. Grape's being stingy with his reads as usual but probably should get him to comment on other players. ScarletCelestial's posts I initially got good vibes from but I feel nothing now.
Is it confirmable that Tammy doesn't really like playing as scum? Basing it off what Trobairitz said and it doesn't seem like something to be lied about, but I should make sure.

and yeah wrt RE i'm not getting the feeling voting him is useful. like on principle i hate unvoting unless i like strongly townread the person and there isnt a better vote, i'm sure you've heard someone else go on a similar spiel so i'm not really gonna repeat it because the more i type the more incoherent i get when i'm writing informally. anyway holistically we have a lot of null slots (since, you know, less than 24 hrs into the game) so i'm not really gonna jump on it happening just yet.
i guess out of the non-empty slots besides RE thus far i'd pick between vox and tubba, mostly because i either have a reason to townread the others (obv you, tammy, and scarlet, but also to a much lesser extent titus and kind of ara i was 100% kin with their opening) or don't feel it'd help me read them and i don't scumread them in grapefruit's case. vox mostly because if his reaction to ara's post wasnt a meme it was. yikes. and none of his scumhunting is really pinging me as town. tubba hasnt really done anything but they posted once so they get to be on this list too. there's probably a tone argument that exists there for tubba but it's not one i particularly am crazy about
gonna check the vote count since neither opening my third eye nor shuffling the playerlist around in a google doc gave me inspiration rip

I haven't given reasoning yet though. Just felt that 53 seemed like a nervous post for it's zeal to delve into details and use of fancy language. Seemed like it was trying hard to make an impression. Though from your later posts I'm gathering that's just you.
Guess I should look at why people are town reading Tammy at some stage. I started skipping her posts when the breakfast aside happened.
@RE Why is Voxx town and why are Foopme and Tubba scummy?
i meant the nervousness line of questioning in reasoning, like i read over my posts and dont see where that could have stemmed from if that makes sense. obviously interpreting things differently isn't always alignment indicative though
but yeah i guess my syntax is kind of strange when i dont put effort in hiding it i guess (i've played on a secret alt or two and people only figured out my identity from like me outright telling them so)

@RE Why is Voxx town and why are Foopme and Tubba scummy?
Tubba as I've stated gave a super generic entrance (disconnected to the thread). Foopme seems to be trying very hard to give the appearance that he does not care about his appearance. I've also breezed through his Champs Game and Celebrity Jeopardy game (both on MU, town and scum respectively), and I see what Vox means by forced.
Vox is just a feeling (tone). I'm now tempted to put him in the ScarletCelestial category of him feeling right at the time but now I'm thinking scum wouldn't have much trouble mimicking what's been said.
Skipping posts is bad but I kinda like how you've gone about your read on Trobairitz. Probably a bit early but I can buy your progression from finding someone off to realizing it might be their style.

Should not town read me off tone. Super capable of faking that.
Probably shouldn't town read me off anything I've done other than maybe the Tammy interactions? Am not really playing the game just yet, letting people enter the thread and see who is electing to do things and not do things.
Also kinda sitting on a fairly strong wolf read that I'll talk about tomorrow, probably. Gonna let it percolate a bit and decide if it's something I want to start pushing this early in the day.

Gotcha. That makes sense. You wouldn't see loquaciousness as a nervous sign because it's just your default. Whereas I used to go for flowery language when I was nervous as a crutch.
@RE why does a generic start equate to scumminess? Disconnected from the thread feels reachy when Tubba posted before there was much to be connected to.
Skipping posts is bad but when sneaking time in at work I'm not going to spend that time reading about eggs. Priorities.
I'm actually think Tammy is scummy but I am probably wrong. I tend to universally feel Tammy is scum. I feel she's overblown/melodramatic in her posting but I am a tired chicken.
@RE why does a generic start equate to scumminess? Disconnected from the thread feels reachy when Tubba posted before there was much to be connected to.
Oh yeah, it definitely is. Just in my experience it's more likely to come from scum.
What do you make of Tammy now? And of the votes on Marko.

Do you think there’s something to learn from there being 2 votes on a zero poster right now?
And I definitely like her response to Vox's answer to her question regarding my entrance. I was fine with Vox' reply, but she brought up a point I didn't consider earlier.

Perhaps nothing, but one of them is from a player I'm suspecting (you) and the other is from a player Grape has been questioning/suspecting (Trobairitz) so I lean towards "something."

My team says howdy partner. (paraphrased ofc)
Psh well duh. The MU shadow game you were in that I was a shadow in was a delight until it wasn't.
They seem relaxed and unfiltered to me, did something they said give you that impression?
@RE the thing I was pinged by and 53 would be explained by general nervousness rather than scumminess.
Too many exclamation points, found a wolf imo.

Nervousness would have explained your posting completely. 53 is just very "try hard" and looked nervous so it was making me doubt my earlier read.
How did it look nervous?
I asked her to explain why that conversation looked like I town told.
Empty your mindhole

I haven't given reasoning yet though. Just felt that 53 seemed like a nervous post for it's zeal to delve into details and use of fancy language. Seemed like it was trying hard to make an impression. Though from your later posts I'm gathering that's just you.
Guess I should look at why people are town reading Tammy at some stage. I started skipping her posts when the breakfast aside happened.
@RE Why is Voxx town and why are Foopme and Tubba scummy?
but yeah i guess my syntax is kind of strange when i dont put effort in hiding it i guess (i've played on a secret alt or two and people only figured out my identity from like me outright telling them so)
Tubba as I've stated gave a super generic entrance (disconnected to the thread). Foopme seems to be trying very hard to give the appearance that he does not care about his appearance. I've also breezed through his Champs Game and Celebrity Jeopardy game (both on MU, town and scum respectively), and I see what Vox means by forced.
Vox is just a feeling (tone). I'm now tempted to put him in the ScarletCelestial category of him feeling right at the time but now I'm thinking scum wouldn't have much trouble mimicking what's been said.
Skipping posts is bad but I kinda like how you've gone about your read on Trobairitz. Probably a bit early but I can buy your progression from finding someone off to realizing it might be their style.
Probably shouldn't town read me off anything I've done other than maybe the Tammy interactions? Am not really playing the game just yet, letting people enter the thread and see who is electing to do things and not do things.
Gotcha. That makes sense. You wouldn't see loquaciousness as a nervous sign because it's just your default. Whereas I used to go for flowery language when I was nervous as a crutch.
@RE why does a generic start equate to scumminess? Disconnected from the thread feels reachy when Tubba posted before there was much to be connected to.
Skipping posts is bad but when sneaking time in at work I'm not going to spend that time reading about eggs. Priorities.
Oh yeah, it definitely is. Just in my experience it's more likely to come from scum.
What do you make of Tammy now? And of the votes on Marko.
vote: Foopme
Tammy does not like scum. You and I have different vibes ftr.
Her enthusiasm reads to me as town motivated. I suppose it may be overblown, but it's not scummy imo.
If it’s me or Ara give it like 3 life days. If it’s not then go ham.
Do you think there’s something to learn from there being 2 votes on a zero poster right now?
Why? If Tammy doesn't like scum, faking enthusiasm is exactly the correct move.
Perhaps nothing, but one of them is from a player I'm suspecting (you) and the other is from a player Grape has been questioning/suspecting (Trobairitz) so I lean towards "something."
