Some thoughts:

Team D-

I tend to have weird hours that I can be on, and I'm not just reading the TL forums 24/7, so while I can't always be as active as robik saying I'm not doing anything now isn't really giving me a fair shake in my opinion (@27ninjabunnies).

Every game I've seen 27nb in she goes around being very caustic and arrogant towards some people, and very nice to others. It seems to be regardless of her alignment. I find it to be unhelpful, as she goes off on tangents with wild accusations filled with bullshit reasoning for scum reads.

What this means in terms of the game is it's hard for me to read her as mafia or town. But I think she does more to cause problems in a town, than actually help with finding scum and uniting the town players.

Poofter isn't saying much and is kinda letting her get out in front. I don't know how to interpret that, but in World Cup poofter stayed kinda quiet until it came time to push me in the wrong directions. Nearly worked too .

So a null read on the team but I generally think constantly creating a toxic atmosphere for the town is a bad thing even if they are town.

Team Whine
Slam is posting a fuck ton of 1 liners/pictures/general nonsense (hijole?) and sqrtofneg1 is saying nothing at all. In larger games I think mafia lurking works better than in a smaller game such as this, but it's almost nothing to read off of. Will have to wait to see what they vote day 1 and what happens night 1 to really know what to think of them.

Team VendettaStrada
I'm not sure if they're both posting from the same account, but it looks like it's all raynpelioneet. In my limited experience here I haven't seen him before, and though he hasn't posted a fuck ton of stuff, seems townish it to me. Looks like he's contributing.

Team needs a lawyer
I always kinda read HaruRH scummy, he has a little bit of omgus going on, but I miss read him in world cup so it gives me pause. So I look over at glowing bear, and he hasn't said a whole lot either. Just got caught up in the Kenpachi business. But doesn't really read town to me. I lean scum here, but I'm hesitant.

Team Magic Carpet
Not a lot of posts from straightform just asking questions "Robik why won't u post?, Why would exo/robik not posting Day 1 not be bad for town" etc... Palmar calls out team lawyer for not posting anything of value, but I see very little of value from him at all. After reading his filter i think Palmar is the most scummy looking person so far in the thread.
*scum read*

Team GoodCornBadCorn
Completely afk. Like 1 combined other than their /in posts. like what....? Do they not know the game is happening? No reads yet for obvious reasons

Team Crotch Rocket
Not a lot being said from good Karma. Eden is posting quite a bit, and seems okay. I don't think mafia are going to be quite as active as eden is being, but it could be good coaching happening. Town read for now though

Team Fraud walRus
Sinani saying hardly anything, OnceKing's vote on our team I think is bad: it's based on robik not playing the game, when robik has been pretty active. Hasn't really expanded on any reads and got pretty caught up in ol' kenpachi but I don't get a scum vibe from him. Null read

Team M squared
mderg hasn't said too much, but I've generally liked and agreed with what marv has to say. I think Town


So that leaves me with

Town
M squared
Vendetta Strata (aka how can I make a parody of that team name)
Rocket Crotch

Cause I'd rather talk my way out of a lynch as scum without doing that than to ruin my town meta. I'd rather be really easy to read as town and try to get away with being a little bit scummier as scum, than to give a reason for people to doubt my town read. The reason for this is because I enjoy playing town infinitely more than playing scum, so I don't mind getting lynched as scum (though it hasn't happened yet on TL), but I do abhor getting mislynched as town (hasn't happened yet on TL -- and very VERY rarely on other mediums)

Robert explain why the post i just quoted was the TOWNIEST OF ALL TOWN!!!?!?!????
That's not a good post by any means.

Now i am off until tomorrow, Slendy will be here tonight at some point, i talked with him by phone a couple of hours ago and he is incapable of playing until late but he's gonna be here.

I got to end of p31. I'll read further tomorrow morning because now i really gotta go for tonight.

gotta disagree that game i started with policy talk, we had an argument and somehow managed to back off of each other without getting completely dunked

i can't remember joking around much at all that game

Okay, back, and I now that I think of it, rayn is suspicious. He sees something in my words that are flatly contradictory, calls me out on it, but doesn't push a lynch on me? That makes no sense.

Yup. I don't think I've ever done it as mafia, so it still holds true.
If you find an instance of me doing it as mafia, well then I was wrong, but I'm still doing it as town this game.

All the people who say "omg, you can't use meta on yourself because you know the meta" are silly. Unless I have changed the meta on myself, then you can continue to use that meta read that I've provided. If I trick you in a game by doing this, then from there on out you can question that meta read. But there's no reason to doubt the meta read before I've given you a reason to doubt it.

it was a hearthstone discussion
and no
but i dont think i joked around that much in my newbie as town either sooooooooooooo poor meta reads ftw?

hahahahaha yes this. I literally always defend myself with my own meta even as everyone is telling me I shouldn't. The reason I do it is because my meta is compelling and i have so many games to back myself up. Why the fuck wouldn't I use it?

good stuff.

Like, I don't even care if marv is town or mafia this game. It feels so good to get complimented by him -- even if it's a backhanded compliment. Literally feel warm and gooey. If he wasn't in a relationship
