In all likelihood the more Luigi's Mansion is brought up the harder I'm going to lurk.

Gorf or someone asked me about my mafia experience a while back. I've only played four or five games here.

Somebody ask me something so I can take a side.
oh gog no wonder you guys want to lynch me he really is a ****wit

that is a hydra i will inexplicably townread for no reason

just stating that right now, i have trouble reading them. ruy's posts that i have seen strike me as typical town ruy but i am going to put it out there that i have misread them in the past, particularly ruy (wal-mart, kvk, and luigi's mansion were all failed reads by me)

Now I'm official.

I'm around page 7 or so, these are hella early reads:

I like Circus and Kantrip both in particular. Circus is playing like he did in Luigi's, where he was ultimately town, and moreso of what I expect. I was a little disillusioned with his "I want to play peacemaker" posts early, but I can't deny what he's saying and what he's trying to do. The BSP wagon that early is dumb (I definitely don't agree with it) and I think that at the time, finding Soup v Shen TvT was a good conclusion. Soup's goals looked pretty townie early with trying to move the game out of RVS quickly while Rake was applying to his typical meta (aka null).

As for Kantrip, he's reading people and doing all of the things you expect of him as town. I want to slap an asterisk next to my statement of liking him though because normally whenever I do like him, he flips scum, such as in EnA mafia or even early GS3 before he got lynched off a quick mistake. He knows how to play the game looking like a townie and so while it looks like he's making all the right decisions, I'm still going to be cautious with that slot. That said, he got votes early from both Gheb and I think Soup and still seems to be here so the pressure didn't get to him. Then again, I expect a slot that was getting heat and another that's speaking rarely and in just poetry aren't going to get a lot done on this effort. Will be watching this as I read.

In short, I like him, but I am wary because I know he knows how to look townie as scum. His actions and his reads make sense however.

Soup is jumpy this game. I like how he started but I don't like how he just jumped when Ruy threw a vote at him. If he's scum, he's not the same soup from Luigi's Mansion.

YOLOSWAG is a mixed bag. I'll be looking at that slot's reads thus far but don't expect me to have a concise read by the end of my readthrough. Marshy, let's not turn this into a dickfight like we did in Luigi's Mansion, aight? That was mostly my other head but I don't wanna lose this game for town because of clashing egos and disagreeing philosophies and whatever.

Gheb's null (poetry schtick is pretty rad though, I've missed your lyrics), so is Shen.

I'll be updating these as I go along. No really decisive scumreads yet as I think Shen v Soup was TvT early, I'm not going to pin down a kevin/marshy slot that early, Gheb's posting poetry and I haven't seen enough of his actions to warrant a completed read (though, again, I actually liked Kantrip vote early), Circus and Kantrip are currently town.

Oh, and Gorf's confirmed. That's where I'm at. Seeing the two flips and what lead up to them will give me my scumreads.

ebwop: for what it's worth, i'd be utterly surprised if there wasn't a scumbag between all of those slots i just talked about and ruy. if there is, i haven't found it yet but i am looking.

It doesn't look like you're even trying to read anyone though. You just come off insecure. What is your scumread of Ryu really based on other than pure OMGUS?

You say you're trying to be more proactive, but what have you done with your activity? Pressured Shen, a slot that was doing a fine job making its presence known as it was, expressed dislike of Vinyl. based on his joking style "rubbing you the wrong way" (hint: he always does this and it always rubs people the wrong way; that's lazy scumhunting), and now freaking out over one vote from RA. This is not productive.
Instead of just asking you a straight-up question because this post is ages old, I do want to note that I did expect a vote to either come here or soon after. This is the closest thing Circus has had to sounding like he's scumreading someone and yet I don't see a vote going anywhere. It's not like these are invalid reasons to vote someone.

It might be a bit egotistic but I see no need to change my approach right now if it produces the results I want. I don't look to play a certain way because people want me to.
It is egotistic because your approach isn't yielding anything in the way of results outside of stirring the pot.

Vote:BSP

I'm a man of my word and I like it, I'll give pregame a read later, I really don't want to when I an at work ATM and don't really care to try and do that when I got other things I'm doing.

Soup u scum bro?

Kantrip, do I like you? Cause I think I might, also vinyl part about the backlash, that isn't like him. I 110% want him policy lynched if he plays inactive uncooperative lurker like he did in Wallmart.
The more Ruy posts, the less I like him.

JDietz, is this scum Ruy? You seem to be an expert at reading him.

I keep picturing the league champ shen when people use that shorthand

Chose them because it's Rake. We've got a thing for each other
I have this picture in my mind that someone's getting hardbodied in game until Shen just randomly comes in and white knights them, taunting the game and trying to save his precious adc.

He then flips town hero because he made a noble sacrifice while the rest of the game has no ****ing clue why any of that **** happened.

Oh word? I'll use the effort I would've placed into reading him somewhere else.

I wanna quote **** but I'll cut back so I'm not constantly dragging up tiny little **** from pages past.

I do like Ruy more after his string of posts after the start of Page 8.

don't bother reading BSP while you're at it. Got himself modkilled as town bodyguard
I heard. I'm mad.

For what it's worth I disagree with the wagon on him. Just because he's not new doesn't invalidate him from playing like a ****** and I do not remember BSP striking me as someone who's savvy at mafia.

Yeah I don't even know what caused it because it didn't look like very much pressure and I don't remember people being all up in his face calling him bad or anything.

I don't blame marshy for disliking soup's wagon in the slightest. Would be better if Ruy had stuck around on it.

why the actual **** bsp modkilled himself is well beyond me.

You misread me. That's all you people ever do when I flip town. You get uppity and think because i'm not playing the way you want me to that I'm scum. I don't meant to toot my own horn here but I just got out of a game where I was scum and practically styled on you all. If you really think I would make myself this scummy then you're dead wrong. That's against the point I wanted to make this post however, and that you're also misreading what I'm doing. I have a lack of direction? No. I see people getting on my case because I'm 'all-over' or 'weird' or however you put it, but I haven't seen anyone besides maybe Kantplay yesterday really contest me. That bothers me. There's a lot of people pointing fingers at me with shallow reasoning. Disagree with my Vinyl. gut? Tell me. Disagree with how I see ruy? Tell me. Disagree with how I felt about Kantplay? Tell me. Don't ****ing sit here on a pedestal and say that I'm wrong if you're not going to tell me why it is. I'm not perfect and I can be wrong, but the whole point of this approach is to get people at me and to start formulating reads easier instead of having to figure it out on my own. That's the whole point of this approach.

There's another point I want to make here. What Ruy did was legitimately bad. Kantplay doesn't even deny it. What Ruy is doing now kind of sets off alarms to be honest but that requires me to actually sit down and look at it and dissect it. I'm going off instinct right now and if you weren't clear enough I'm throwing mud at people and trying to make it stick. I guess the actual question I have from this is how it's scummy. I don't know, I look at the arguments made against me and they're just preposterous. How am I scum for my actions right now?

I have more I want to post. The way this thread is going makes me want to puke. I genuinely felt like pulling a Zen and self-voting but I have more dignity than that.
No, see, you don't get the right to claim this. The ball is entirely in your court. If you're town, you've played like ****, launching yourself at random things in an attempt to make things stick. You lashed out at Rake and kept trying to drag him into the spotlight when everyone else was clearly moving on and not seeing what you were seeing. Now you're trying to make your ****ty OMGUS vote on Ruy stick when he made you flinch earlier when it was clearly obvious he hadn't read a damn thing on you. That said, I think you're scum trying to cover your bad play with tremendous amounts of AtE. I know this is your thing but spare us the headache.

vote: Soup

I don't need to see more.

Ruy, my legitimate problem is that I think you're playing for appearance other than acutally scumhunting. Why did you vote me? What was your tell on me? Was it pressure? Something else? Ruy, I need you to be more clearer. I'm reading you right now and I can't understand the posts you're making. Like, why did you ask me if my tell on Rake was serious? What does it gain when I basically answered that before? It's weird to me not because of meta really, but because I don't feel like you're taking time to answer these things before you post. Tell me your gut on me right now.
i'm thoroughly ashamed that i lost to you in luigi's mansion

you're not this thick

you know in all honesty im guess a bit salty though because you all misread me so frequently when i usually have good intentions and then when i ask why im scum i get responses like ruy which is literally making me laugh thinking about lmfao my jumpy conclusions aren't town please tell me

and no this isn't about an ego im completely allowed to shoot down ****ty arguments against me when i see fit and if you don't think i wouldn't do that as town then i dont know what to say to you because literally 90% of my town games im doing so like i dont know maybe im not a good town or something but i dont know what there is possibly im supposed to do if you people sit here and tell me 'soup you're playing like scum' without telling me why
when you play like scum and then ate like a ***** when called out, this is going to happen

stop being a ***** and actually address what's happening instead of just being thick and constantly saying "lel why me Dx"

You look at me like I'm supposed to have all the ****ing answers. I don't have them. I'm trying to get them. I'm putting myself out there because I want to get those answers. I have to push these people in order to get what I want.
the only time i've seen you actually do this is early in the game when you jumped it out of rvs because you didn't want to deal with it.

since then, you've thrown votes at potato and are trying to say ruy's scum because he threw a vote at you to get pressure on you. i don't understand how you don't see this because it's ****ing obvious he hadn't read a gogdamn thing and yet you jumped at it like a rabid dog because you think it means something.

since being called out, you're ateing like a ***** in response to it. where is your direction? where is your reason? if the entire thread is disagreeing with it, maybe your push really just isn't that good.
