i think we've played with insom once before and he was scum then and was way more about the game and less about random bs.
and for the post you cite, if you take that and compare it to insom's normal posting behavior its pretty much 1:1 in terms of trying to come off as smart but also aware that he knows nothing. he's also probably aware that you could construe such a post as 'scummy' so for him to submit it anyways is a good sign to me
bboys one of those guys that is hard to pocket but you can take him to the bank if you get it off. i definitely would've been warm to him if i were scum and he wasn't, just to try and drive him down that path
really i never thought of insom as an experienced fm player
i just remember him in that one donner party game where he came off relatively not super self aware as town
im not gonna reread that rn like a nerd but i might before eod
p easy to read this post as overly defensive
considering it comes off as defending the choice to scumread bboy from a scum perspective and seems to only have been triggered by me asking bboy for his read of you
like calm down let him respond (regardless of ur alignment here lmao)
sure honestly i just like playing with you a lot and get talkative when i think we're both town lol. but ill try to be patient
alright well if youre town im gonna say your townread on insom is questionable precisely because this particular clause (with telegraphing a read one mightve made and still couldve made if they didnt just telegraph it) is something i see like way way way more often from scum than town
do you remember which game this was
the only game i played with insom we were town/town (donner party and we d1'd nyte and she got salty at me for not blind sheeping her despite me mech locking the game, very dank stuff)
like ngl you doubling down on your 1post read of him asking about squid game being tonwy is either just blatantly partnery or terrible
insom/sophie gg go next is it that ez?
im not gonna say im a good player but i'd be smarter than to get myself dug in and stuck within hours of the first day
not here to debate theory but hard defending a partner in a 7er isnt theoretically bad
itd just have been bad in the execution moreso than the idea itself if that's the world
you could be right, i did try to check adn found the only other game insom had here was popcorn mafia where he was town. but i felt like he still regularly did stuff that a noob town player who has no idea what constitutes a scumread would do. honestly didn't really try to read it so hard as i did with rora/bboy (because I know them better) so i could def have a shit read
true but i didn't mean it that logically, moreso that I would hate to drag someone down with me when I flip and the relation has been established or vice versa. those games are the worst, i never feel like i play that scenario well or execute it well, and with this particular group of people t's hard for me to say how effective i'd be in changing anyones minds in the first place so i'd probably sit out of it if i were scummy
have you seen this read made before and do you get the logic (that telegraphing how one might read a reaction test before people had a chance to fall into it is scummy)
you are insom
you come up with the plan to make a first post that iaafr would find scummy, then scumread people who scumread iaafr for that
iaafr finds the first post scummy
you AT THIS POINT give the plan away?
I've been there and it makes sense to me. i can see how you could consider it a pitfall a newer player would fall into as scum
thats how I felt too
just watch it, it’s really great
the cool concept is actually the least good thing about it, it’s the writing and the characters that make it great
I think if anything im like townreading the stuff around it, like him getting pissy about how you read him. i think you're implying that he had any plan at all when it really doesn't read that way. it reads like he realized after that that could've been a plan, this thought amuses him so he then mentions it in that post that you are scumreading
you are claiming to think im falsely implying insom had a plan when he literally states he had a plan?
I didn’t even think I would like it, first episode was just good enough to make me watch the second, by the sixth it was one of the coolest and most entertaining shows I’d seen in years with really well written characters that grow on you
though i can see one way how this would be towny and it could involve me being a giant nerd and misreading tone but whatever like lmao
