Hello you impatient people, it?s everybody?s favorite part of the day, my reads! I didn?t have time to make proper reads until I got home. I could make shallow reads like a lot of people are doing, but that?s not me. When I make reads, they?re gonna be bombasss reads. Well here they are:
Day 1 Reads and Reflections
A letter by Daniel A. Scummington
Thoughts on day 1:
I really dislike the huge number of posts that were generated from this day. From start game to Night 1, we all made 965 posts(Yes I also reread all of these posts last night). This makes the game really hard to follow with since there?s so much to read and it makes the reads a lot longer to make. I would be okay with this if the posts came from all the players posting, but it?s really only a circle of like 10 people who made the majority of them. A lot of the posts are from the troll and Aron claiming reaction, but I hope we all can condense our posts a bit. I wanna see big questions and reads that are pretty good for Day 2 remember kids Quantity=/= Quality.
You know what I think of the troll. I sensed it immediately from when they posted the thing about their husband divorce or whatever and ending their posts in xx. I?ve seen many a trolls in my day, and this is no exception.
The reads that a lot of players posted aren?t satisfying to me either, they?re really bland. A couple of the reads from people are good, but they?re very short and not supported. I really like seeing facts in cases, because it?s the only proper way for players to give a proper defense for their actions. It also shows where you?re coming from in your thinking. While I do appreciate the attempt to post thoughts an opinions, I?d rather more supported and deep reads and cases.
Nice that scum was lynched on the first day, but i saw a lot of bandwagoning. I?m not taking credit for the lynch since i didn?t have time to help, but good job town. This was the saving grace of this day.
So yeah, Condensing and supporting posts would make Day 2 much better I believe.
Top Scum reads:
Crys- Been pretty observant on Crys this game, and a few things throw me off.
The Honeydew lynch is weird. All they said is that they have a QT with Tardis. Literally right after that you said you were for the 2 accused QTers to be lynched. Did you consider the possibility of trolling? It makes no sense for someone actually trying to play, to admit they have a QT like that. You could say the doc claim by Aron was stupid, but at least it was from pressure and doesn?t confirm he?s scum. Claiming to have a QT with someone for no reason would mean they?re either mafia, masons, or lovers. Even as mafia, if one were to die, it would only confirm that the other isn?t a town QT player and is scum too. There?s literally no reason to have said that other than trolling(or complete stupidity), so why are you so for their lynch when they didn?t even explain themselves yet?
Then Honey says
This is practically confirming that they?re a troll. Any player of any role with a QT would definitely not want their partner dead. But they say do so here. But you say:
But why though? In what way does that make sense to lynch them for that? Don?t worry, you?re not the only one who believed in that QT claim, and I?ll get to them.
Was this a reaction test? As you didn?t explain why you thought he was scum. Seems pretty off to me.
The first sentence is weird and literally had no point in posting. Don?t understand why you said that.
Pretty quick to change the vote. Didn?t really explain why Cory was a better player to vote for than Aron either.
Also the reads they posted, aren?t so grand like they made it to be. I was waiting on a bunch of facts and reads, but the reads seemed pretty quickly thrown together in like 10-20 minutes. Doesn?t really help much either in my opinion, but hey at least you got the reads you were waiting more.
Not the biggest scum read, but these posts really weird me out.
SarasaKat- A lot of her posts are questionable to say the least.
Why are you sure that the 2 are scum? Why would it make sense for scum to slip so carelessly? Like i said about Crys, I don't understand your thought process here. Why say Tardis is confirmed scum when he didn't even respond to honey's claim? Did you not consider them possibly being masons/lovers? Pretty weird thing to say.
Basically anything I said about Crys quickly thinking honey was scum applies here to.
Why? Cory could easily try to appear town and say that as scum, yet you just clear him here...
Seems pretty weird to just agree with what Cory says when he's town reading you. This post seems pretty off.
So being secretive and holding back info is town? I thought it was the exact opposite. Seems like you're not bothering to listen to reason why Aron would be lying.
Then you say this:
But 5 minutes later say this:
Seems to me like you realized that others aren't believing Aron's telling the truth, so now you gotta switch your stance or else they'll think you're scummy to me.
You go from firmly believing Aron was town to him being scum very quickly.
You pressed him a lot and agree with the claim making no sense, but you town read him again? What?
It seems like you're just going with whatever town is believing right now. First they think he's scum, so you think he's scum. Then they think he's town, so now you think he's town. Your opinion on Aron is very wishy washy and I don't like it.
Didn't you say Cory was town for saying he wanted a villa core? What have you really contributed that made you more of a contributor than Cory?
Her posts after this also have a weird tone to them, but I can't put my finger on exactly why.
The bolded part is really weird too.
Also, why just Kevinnn for being inactive? Why not Qwerty/Inkling/Llamas for being inactive too?
What? Anyone would literally get online find out about the doc claim and say that. Did you also not consider that statement being fabricated? Why clear him for saying that?
These are the posts that are the weirdest to me in my opinion.
Honestly Sarasa has been very weird this whole game. Flip flopping opinions like that, quickly clearing people for no real reason, and overall isn't her usual self. I'm thinking she's scum. Awaiting your response to his Kat.
Reads on other players:
Cory-
https://youtu.be/sPbtlFVV3X0
Not too sure what I think of cory so far. He had a pretty big ego in putting himself in the strongest scum hunter pedestal, when he really wasn?t doing much. That seemed to me like he was shoving it down our throats that he was trying to help, and he spent more time telling us that actually scum hunting. I didn?t like that. But then I reconsidered my suspicions when he got into a very heated fight with Aron that almost made them quit the game. While you could say that?s a scum trying to make a distraction or pressing a town player into spilling the beans, I see really no purpose in scum doing this. In all the time I?ve played here, all of the heated fights(ex. Tae and Inkling in Tarot, Trojan and Ness in Scummies, Jacob and I in BoI etc), it?s mainly just 2 town fighting. Not only is it stupid to press him as scum because there?s really nothing else to gain from it because he already claimed doc and it would make him pretty suspicious to doing so for no reason. I town read him from this, EDIT: Also now that i read his cautiousness on immediately clearing Xine, it?s not logical but understandable. While I highly doubt Xine would drive a teammate to lynching but I understand the fear of trusting someone too quickly. I usually don?t trust anyone too much, until deeper into the game, so I see where this response would come from a town. Town leaning on him for me.
Xine- Pretty certain they?re town. Or at least anti mafia. I highly doubt a mafian would make a case and lead a lynch for their teammate on Day 1. Really makes no sense for a mafian to do that and just let town go for another lynch.
Aron- I think they?re town. It really makes no sense for mafia to have freaked out and posted like he did. I think any scum team would silence Aron from getting defensive and emotional like he did. Not only that, but general reaction to everyone pressing him for claiming doc and Cory getting in a fight with him seems pretty genuine to me. Like town actually feeling bad or screwing up so badly. I don?t think scum could fake emotions like that or would do that in the first place. The whole thing with the ?or I could just be messing with you? is the only thing that throws me off. I don?t think scum would say that, but a jester would. Toying with town?s minds is pretty Anti town and would probably be considered going against your WinCon. Other than that post, I think they?re actually telling the truth. Not to sure on the Ronald Reagan
Qwerty- Not really sure what to think of them. The only post that is actually important to look at is their reads. And even then, the reads are really short and are more like summaries than actual reads. Pretty quiet so I can?t say much on them.
Toadsworthy- Seems pretty protown to me. I?m a fan of the reads he makes with facts, so I?m a fan of his attempt to help town. Seems like a pretty sincere attempt to put town in the right direction. I read the reads to, and i can see where you're coming from. Keep it up with those posts.
Panda- Stepped up her game this time. Not sure what the reason would be for this change, but it?s helping town a lot more. Your posts have substance and a purpose, and it seems you put a lot of thought and analyzing to make them. She hasn?t been too aggressive and tunneling like she usually is, so I?m thinking it could possibly be scum panda trying to act more helpful. Regardless, she?s not one of my top scum reads and I?m leaning more town to her.
Tardis- Town leaning here. Their questions have a purpose and it seems that he?s genuinely trying to help town. While the whole case on the alt makes no sense(I don?t even think we can lynch someone who was modkilled), at least he?s trying to make a case to help town. When he was scum in tarot, he didn?t try helping town or make cases but instead just tried to look like he was contributing by making small comments and claiming really quickly for reason. It was just a pretty obvious attempt to try to be town in that game, and I don?t see that here. Town reading to the effort he?s putting in. Also
Is this a soft claim?
Kevinnn- Their posts have nothing of real value other than admitting that they are unconfident in their reads and silent. Hasn?t contributed much, but they are a newbie, so that would explain it. Can?t get a read of their posts, null.
Cadbberry- From what she?s posted, it seems like she holding back on stuff. She seems to just agree with people and accept any suspicions on her as she says here
Instead of really defending herself. I understand she?s a noobie, so she probably has no clue what to do, but you really need to get out of your shell if you?re really town. Can?t give a proper read until i see more posts so nulled.
ClamsEatCurry- The typical noobie, asking questions on the game, but not really stating many thoughts besides commenting on others. Nothing in his posts say scum, but nothing says town. I?d love for you to post your reads or more detailed thoughts so i can get a better read on you. Null for now.
M3ow_- Has a few interesting posts I?d like to bring up.
Not a fan of people telling PRs what to do out in the open. If he actually takes your advice, it?s just telling the scum team on how to plan their actions. I think it?s best for the PRs to do what they think is best.
Pretty aggressive thing to say here. It seems like you?re trying to intimidate people to not mess with Aron, but also not mess with you. Would like to note that a Tae and a couple of other people still questioned the doc claim and you didn?t do anything to them, all you said is that we?re not lynching them. All bark but no bite?
I saw the case on Alexi, and since you were pretty keen on an Alexi lynch, I?m pretty sure one is scum while the other is town. So depending on which one of you flips if you died, I?ll see what to think next. Scum leaning.
Mother of Llamas- Honestly not too sure what to think of her. She does the same old ?inactive but randomly pops in? thing she does like every game. The only two important posts are her reads and her reason for voting. The reads are pretty weak and are more summaries of what they?ve done so far instead of actual opinions on their play.
Your activity is pretty off too, why is Inkling?s weird? Also how is their posts being less aggressive scummy? The reason for voting is pretty vague here. Leaning towards scum for her.
Alexi- Scum leaning here. She has an odd tone to her posts at seem really forced and all she really has done is defend herself and agreeing with other people. Also just accepting her suspicions when people state them saying ?Yeah I see why you said this? instead of confidently justifying herself. The post that really throws me off is this:
Pretty odd thing to say. So just because they townread you means you should town read them? That really makes no sense here, any scum also town reads people you know. Possible scum.
Shiida- I like this player. She?s pretty confrontational and doesn?t seem to be hiding anything so far, which I don?t think a new scum would do. All of her comments and posts appear to have some sort of reasoning and substance behind it. I?m interested in what you?ll have to post in the future, town reading.
Heyden- Aggressive and a bit pushy this game which i would say would be scummy, but you did the same in other games too, so it fits in with your town meta. Not reserved or holding anything bad it seems. Will wait patiently or your reads and concrete thoughts on the game so far. Seems to be pretty helpful. Town reading.
Taeseak- Not sure here. His posts don?t really pop out as pro or anti town. They?re kinda just there. Most of his reads and opinions aren?t really anything new and he seems really keen on praising him xine and worships them. While the agreeing with whatever Xine says is a bit weird, it?s not really enough in itself to make me suspicious. Watching out for him, but null.
N e s s- Pretty iffy on this read. The whole attitude towards clearing noobies really quickly is off. Pretty aggressive like usual and nothing extraordinary sticks out to me. His posts are just, okay, not a leading scumhunter but not a lurker. Null for now, can?t get a read from him.
