I've read the pzelda iso for myself and am officially signing off on that wagon beyond "I'll sheep Insaner on it". My main problem can be best summarized by this post:

I tried to play anonymously, but Insaner spoiled my identity meanwhile. Also, I haven't read a game of yours till the last champs and I remember you waiting there to get killed by mafia, essentially. Here, it's kind of same, actually. Maybe I should look harder at people dealing out free Zack townreads.

There is no attempt at following up on this. There is no hint of an attempt at following up on this. There's clarifications, a good bit about talking about MU people and meta and anything besides actual reads and takes on people, but there's very little actual solving spirit, and in my experience people making statements similar to the bolded and going absolutely nowhere with them is a pretty reliable scumtell.

how is her content level different from el barto to you

Somebody was asking earlier about ISOs. This is the closest we've got: the ‘Who's posted?’ feature.

ISOing is similar to POG, dya.

Gotta go back to the Gameroom index, click on the number of posts, and click on the person's postcount in the window that pops up. One of the sticky threads (the offsite guide) provides pictoral help.

how is her content level different from el barto to you

I don't really understand the question, but I think that barto has given a decent amount of content

Tally:
2 Montmorency (El Barto, Pzelda, )
4 El Barto (Zack, ladd, Cuth, Newyn)
5 PZelda (Insaner, GH, monty, Empoof, Dya)

4 Ladd (Fable, Logic, Egix, merl1n)

LMK if i've made a mistake.

edited to add dyas/empoofs votes

[Empoof]

Vote PZelda

[dyachei]

I disagree on Zack. He's just playing around. His push ob Barto wasn't based on a real read imho
Insaner posting twice as much as the rest of game has been my only impression
I guess this got explained meanwhile.
I reread Monty's wall thrice and the only thing, which pings me is the weird remark on GH.
I hope this got expanded.

Empoof's reads make me sleepy. I guess I need to cup of damn good coffee.

I find Monty's unrelated thoughts to be some type of content for content. I'm not a big fan. Other than that, It's been a nice game so far. I don't even feel like throwing my vote around and killing someone.

Actually, Empoof has been the loudest voice so far and I like him for that. I read some mashes on MU and he's usually loud trying to powertown or powerwolf. Finding the difference might be hard but this has felt like a honest effort so far.

Townreads so far:
Empoof
Merlin
Insaner
Egix

Zack and Barto produced some activity and I definitely spotted them. The latter's definitely more lackluster of the two. Zack's late posts are solid and filled with micro reads. My only fear is that the read on him is so consensus. Barto's posts are trashier with more fluff, but I think that him going against the thread might be a good look.

Cuth made a long post I skipped, then returned to it and read the last sentence:


I'm not a big fan of the wording here. I agree with the read, tho.

The rest is of players consists the bottom pile. I guess monty and gh stand out but not in a good way. GH might be too much of a MU champs meta read, but Monty's just been making fluffy unrelated posts.

Vote: Montomercy

I kind of hate that he says insaner is posting more as like the only real comment there but then has him as a townread so far but zack is just messing around?

vote: Pzelda

[Empoof]

[Montmorency]

[Newyn]

[Visor]

No no no, too many votes!

the timer is a magical fickle being of immense power

i will try messing with it for the night phase but ive only had poor results in the past

[Empoof]

If all the votes on ladd were on choxorn I think I'd feel better walking into this.

But I guess I'm gonna hope for an attention EoD

talk to me about choxorn?

Pretty much same.

Would feel kinda bad about Choxorn going down but that's mostly because I think I can get him with another day. Would certainly prefer him to ladd if it comes to it.

[merl1n]

merlin, can you explain exactly why you believe ladd to be scum?

i can try but it's more a feeling than something i can explain well. he made a bunch of posts that made me feel a similar way after reading them. like he'd ask a question or make a statement but it felt like there was no purpose or intent to the thing he posted. then there was him constantly claiming to be bad and making jokes about it and it felt like a deflection from the fact that he wasn't actually doing anything then he made sure to remind us multiple times about how he actually does care about the game now and it just all felt like performance art

logic made a post that explains some of the things i agreed with better than i can

[Empoof]

talk to me about choxorn?

Was sheeping zack mostly, iso's lackluster/flat, remember disliking some idea they were putting out on a holistic sense

[El Barto]

My brain hurts after trying to make sense of some 370 posts. Does anybody want to ask me anything?

also @El Barto have we played together before? did you have a different username?

Takhitty on MU, actually.

4 votes for Bart, 4 votes for Zelda, 3 votes for me. Satisfying compromise?

Vote: Zelda

Tally:
5 El Barto (Montmorency, Zack, Newyn, ladd, Cuthillius)
3 Ladd (Fable, Logic, Egix)
2 Montmorency (El Barto, Pzelda,)
2 Choxorn (Newyn, Empoof)
2 PZelda (Insaner, GH)
1 Newyn (Choxorn)

Not voting: Merl1n, Dyachei, Csargo


Can anybody voting Barto right now tell me why they, individually, think that Barto is scum? Just off the top of your head. No wagon formation nonsense, just tell me - what has Barto done this game that made you think that he is a wolf?

Thanks for the possibly pocketing defence, but what the hell are you doing with the tally?

Got any mafia? Top town? Why?

are they someone that tends to slank as a wolf?

[Empoof]

I feel like I've played with tahkitty before. Or hosted some game you were in.

I have questions on how you feel about current wagons / any updates on opinions

[Empoof]

are they someone that tends to slank as a wolf?

No idea, haven't ever played with them before

[dyachei]

i kind of like the 1 post by them that challenges insaner but there's like...no content to look at

[merl1n]

@ladd

You're going nowhere with your scum-reads, as if you are afraid to commit. However:

You've got some subtle shade on Pzelda that looks like you are reluctant to vote there.

You hedge on calling a post of mine good content wise, but wolfy in tone.

You are reluctant to to do anything with a probable Barto scum-read, instead deferring to others for meta.

You give a out of nowhere ">rand Fable/Barto W/W" and don't follow up.

I feel like you are taking pot shots to see what sticks rahter than actually solving.

this was the post of logic's that i thought made logic good and that i agreed with almost all of. the last line in particular put into words what i was thinking when i saw ladd post

[Empoof]

Oh yeah it was the whole "who are these wolfy people pushing barto?" line they were trying to soft push insaner for.

Felt like it dragged longer than it should have.

[dyachei]

pretty sure if i've played with takhitty it was in some larger game or something because i dont remember it well

[GeneralHankerchief]

Re: Choxorn

There's a concept about him on this set of communities (org, cfc, etc) called the Choxorn Line where anybody below his post count is officially labeled a slanker and anyone above him is ok.

Which is a roundabout way of saying yeah he's kind of a lowposter regardless of alignment, which is part of why I'm somewhat gun-shy on going for him today. His actual post content is mildly concerning, but the volume is not. Not yet, anyway.
