Vote: Meatwad
If there's one thing I remember about Scum Meatwad, it's that he definitely has a tendency to sheep reads, so seeing him come in and follow along the general narrative against Polter feels pretty in line with that.
What does this reaction mean? I still stand by my Meatwad read, I just voted Oreo because people were talking about him, I was generally in agreement, but no one was putting their money where their mouth was.
That Meatwad post isn't great. Feels the most scum like of everything I've seen, but I'm going to hold off on putting a vote there until later. Instead let's pressure vote!

What's going on Aeleus? What are your thoughts?
Oreo seems overly reactive but maybe that's just his (doggy) style?
Tell me oreo.
If it looks like you will have to leave the pack.
How would you feel about some of the dogs in here ?
Just that I'm also reminded of Meatwad's scum game lol, and I think you're right in that Meatwad doesn't look good.What does this reaction mean?

Right now I'd say Meatwad is looking worse of the two, no defense and no other reads yet.

Which post are you referring to?
Was it the opening post ? If that's the case I might agree that it is just lazy.
Nothing after that stuck, it felt like coasting.
You been reading too far into the game. Are you scum?I'd say I'm early Town leaning on Fran, Vere, Chugg, and Rac? Wouldn't see myself voting for any of them today yet at least. Polter can probably be added to that list too, I don't really have any issues after seeing more from him.
That's a weird attitude to have, why would you not care if town dies lolI dont care if scum or town dies at this point tbh, it's all the same to me.
Then I'm sure it won't faze you either if we vote you out?I dont care if scum or town dies at this point tbh, it's all the same to me.

He's not that wrong though, it's mostly a waste of time to do reads like 12 hours into the day. Almost as if you want to say "I'm here" or something.
We're over halfway through the day and making reads is how we get things going, have discussions, and figure out someone to vote for. I don't give a fuck if they're shitty D1 reads based on almost nothing, at least it's something.He's not that wrong though, it's mostly a waste of time to do reads like 12 hours into the day.

I mean, it's both. I do think discussing reads, even if they don't have much behind them, is something to bring to the table on D1 and hear others thoughts on. Maybe they agree or disagree, whatever, content is made and then other people might have thoughts on those topics or how people reacted to those topics, or check back later in the game and see who was avoiding who or being accused or voted for or whatever. I find sitting in silence to be annoying when I come to play, and I'm not the biggest fan of mechanics discussion or role speculation on D1 unless it's like a really elaborate game design that encourages it, so I tend to just nitpick people's posts and find reasons to give them an early, and thus admittedly weak and not permanent, Town or Scum read and throw votes around to see what happens on the one day where we have like nothing to go off of but our own role.I'm just trying to understand if you're doing this truly because of what you say or because of you.
I agree with you that D1 reads are not very useful, but till now I dont think someone tried to pressure you into throwing out D1 reads. I dont get this line of questioning, has nothing to do with whether Fanto wants to do and discuss D1 reads.What if I don't wanna have a discussion on these reads though?

I don't find anything inherently wrong with D1 reads, my problem is that most of the time you appear to be busy by doing them, and that can buy you a few days since usually. Fanto knows by now they're not really useful and from the games I read I've never seen anyone really go back to D1 and look at his reads and take them into account. I'm not saying he's scum, just food for thought.I agree with you that D1 reads are not very useful, but till now I dont think someone tried to pressure you into throwing out D1 reads.

So, do you not care about winning or...?I dont care if scum or town dies at this point tbh, it's all the same to me.
Blasphemy, apparently.I'm going to make a bold suggestion and say we should maybe avoid voting out town
Just know that I appreciate you Fanto! Even if we haven't played all that much yet.I'm honestly kind of frustrated by this topic and don't know how to respond without getting upset, so I'm just going to take a break for this evening. Like, I just don't really appreciate being told that me playing the game how I prefer to play is a waste of time and that I'm useless, which might not be the intended message, but it's the one I'm getting right now.
You're definitely not useless and you can play the game however you want. I didn't mean to upset anyone, but you gotta understand sometimes we can't distinguish a genuine play vs a mafia player making the same play. The only thing I can do is provide theories.I'm honestly kind of frustrated by this topic and don't know how to respond without getting upset, so I'm just going to take a break for this evening.

Yeah like I get the general sentiment, but it's like, I'm giving my thoughts on the game, if people want to accuse me of doing busy work or scum read me for it, that's up to them, but I just kind of took it personally when it was getting into talk of wasting time and how useful it is, because I do not feel like I'm wasting my time when I'm playing this game, I'm having fun, and I like to think my thoughts can be useful to someone at least.You're definitely not useless and you can play the game however you want.

Was there a point to this?When are you NOT frustrated though?
In my book it's your baseline. When you act nice you are either scum or you had a bad day
I completely support this characterisation of me in avatar.Very reductive, pretty interesting, much consideration.
This is a pocket.
For one, everyone would need to claim part of their role name without understanding if it would hurt them later (read: Avatar Mafia with 'I'll eat your Face' Stan) and secondly, it's easier for mechanics fluff to take away most of the day's content. Especially on D1.
This post is weird.Idk how some of you saw something on some posts you felt weird, nothing in day 1 never feels weird to me anymore. It's par of the course.
I would never ever make any personal attacks, this is just a game after all, and you're right we're all here to have fun. But anyway yeah all good, my bad.Yeah like I get the general sentiment, but it's like, I'm giving my thoughts on the game, if people want to accuse me of doing busy work or scum read me for it, that's up to them, but I just kind of took it personally when it was getting into talk of wasting time and how useful it is, because I do not feel like I'm wasting my time when I'm playing this game, I'm having fun, and I like to think my thoughts can be useful to someone at least.
The thing with coolestspot is that I would say this is how he normally acts but I don't remember ever seeing him as town, only as scum. I wouldn't be opposed to voting him.OK, Coolest's attitude is kinda putting me off right now.

I don't expect this to take off, but I want to make a statement.
This is disingenuous, that post was meant to be a one and done, only after the replies I felt the need of going into it a bit more."D1 reads are busywork. Here are 5 posts explaining why."
Woof.
A statement of "oh no I look scummy and Coolest is being coolest?". Yeah, look, we all get what you're really trying to doOK, Coolest's attitude is kinda putting me off right now.
