I got a link to your role pm and gotta say I’m not that impressed.
Empoof, how did you manage to get a slight Town read on Tammy just by asking about eggs? Like, are you some sort of genius, is this a reaction test or do I have any reason to squint at you like Voxx suggested in the event of weirdness?
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.
Why do you think this point makes her Townie? (Besides providing a different angle of view?)
RE - RE posting her scumgame looks bizarre. That said, I'm seeing some mindmeld here, especially on Tammy, and some good subtlety in her posts. Light Townread
Tammy - Light townread for food stuff. Not even kidding. Tammy is fluffy, from what I remember, but in a good way. She keeps things casual in tone even when she's posting seriously, which I like a lot. Also some mindmeld. Overall, I just love reading Tammy's posts. Light Townread
Townlean
Foopme - Empoof is fun to read. I don't like that he put himself as confscum, his response to Voxx is dubious, and his posts are fluffy, but his reads are decent and he has some good prods/questioning. Townlean
Grapefruit - I like Grape's read on Trobairitz a lot. His response to RE about generic starts also looks solid. But he needs to interact with more people. For now, Townlean
Neutral
Voxxicus - He feels almost guarded. This could just be town paranoia, but I'm not sure. I'm at a bit of a loss here. I think he's openly choosing to not read very well, but I'm not sure there. We shall see. Neutral

ScarletCelestial - Where are the Scarlets of yesteryear? I don't see nearly enough energy in her posts. I want a lot more to move her out of a… Scumlean
Scarlet Rage - Self-contradictory in their comments to RE, and unexplained vote on non-poster. Ehh. This is all I really see here. Need to see more, but given that the only things I'm seeing are scummy… Scumlean
Trobairitz - Trobairitz seems to not have nearly enough reasoning and is kinda opportunistic. I feel like even in her longer posts, she's not saying very much. Her posts are also just a pain to read. Scumlean
Tubba Fett - I always scumread Tubba, but wow they didn't post well. AGAIN. But okay, let's see what there is to work with… Defensiveness and grandstanding… Eww. Scumlean

RE - How is posting her scumgame bizzare when in a number of games they have been scumread for their posting style? I reference my scum game for the convenienece of others too, simply because I have been told that I'm only ever really been Townread based on meta.
Tammy - What did you mindmeld on?
Empoof - Why is Empoof calling himself scum pinging you? Personally, I wouldn't take much stock in it at this point and it sounds more of a joke.
Grape - What about Grape's read on Trob specifically, that it is the same sort of read as yours or something about it's composition or tone?
Scarlet - Why do you think I'm lacking in energy?
Titus - How is an RVS on a 0-poster an issue at this stage?
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!!
(Ara was in the game where I was last scum, so you can probably ask them about how good I was in that, but personally I think I was better in Waking Life and somehow worse in Fate which Titus caught me both times in.)
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?
To reply to this: I have gotten much worse at being scum since Creatures, when I literally didn't have any Town games at that point so didn't have to fake things as badly as I do now, but it's probably a good thing that you bought that up.
Concerning RE, I swear they have completely different goals as different alignments. As Town their questioning is much better and they sound much less like they're in commentary mode.
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.
yeah im usually an easy read as well (though my scum winrate in actual games is nearly perfect? i have exactly 1 loss as not-town), my playstyle's super inconsistent though. i just kind of go with what feels right and try to get everyone working together, how i do that changes but it's instrumental to win as any alignment
Vote: RE1031
Well, if you only have a single loss as Anti-Town you may be better than you think, it's the lynch record that tends to count as scum I think. Also, "inconsistent"?
I agree with Voxxicus here, but interaction can still be a bit useful in terms of how reads are made and the progression following them. I think I was better at that skillset when I was first starting out though, as opposed to now thanks to too much MU. (I play 72/24 on MAL and I once played a game on mafiascum.)

Lean or streaky? If you boil it you get scumread right here and now.
First impressions on the first few pages are RE, Tammy and maybe Trob as Town. I've got a bad feeling about osie.
Nevermind found it.
Empoof, how did you manage to get a slight Town read on Tammy just by asking about eggs? Like, are you some sort of genius, is this a reaction test or do I have any reason to squint at you like Voxx suggested in the event of weirdness?
How are you reading what's been made by Titus thus far? Since you don't seem to like what they've been doing.
Based on your third paragraph, may I ask if you think you're an aggressive player?
Why won't you like to respond to anything about your possibility of being scum?
Why do you think this point makes her Townie? (Besides providing a different angle of view?)

Doesn't that also mean that they're contradicting themselves, so shouldn't really be criticising Titus for that either?
