I was thinking on doing reaction images only but I'm just going to mix it up.
Unlike your posts that felt genuine, this feels like a forced nicety. Among a couple other things, but I’m working that out in a convo with Dana! Stay tuned. Thoughts may change.Tangrowth wrote: ↑Fri May 21, 2021 5:02 pmWhat don't you like about it? Seems non AI to me.Actvscenei wrote: ↑Fri May 21, 2021 5:01 pmThis post has my attention. Don’t like it. Seems scummy.
Let’s get to know each other more so I can get rid of this icky feeling. What are you most excited about and what are you most nervous for?

I sometimes find scum reveal themselves in the first few pages of a game.

Hi, I am a Gnome! I spend a lot of time in the garden so I don't go out on very many dates. I understand about feeling nervous and excited and about the need to have a healthy dose of paranoia because I too get pcoketed a lot by eager scum! They are so charming that I end up onDana wrote: ↑Fri May 21, 2021 5:06 pmhello nice to meet you! im excited to hang with so many new people and also see some old friends that I haven't chilled with in a while, and im nervous bc im not very good at mafia and I am very susceptible to being pocketed so I feel like I gotta watch my back and have a nice healthy dose of paranoia at all timesActvscenei wrote: ↑Fri May 21, 2021 5:01 pmThis post has my attention.

and I am not even aware of all of the noisy howls 
It is very sad. I am looking for a sweet towny date and feel nervous and excited about finding romance, despite the presence of scummy scum scum!Nope not saying they are wolfy I saying they are null.Actvscenei wrote: ↑Fri May 21, 2021 5:12 pmIt’s the opening posts.

Tell me about this progression, how does it work that makes you like it?
Want to quote some of Tang’s posts?Do you think Tang’s posts are reading scummy? Is it that you’re disagreeing with me that makes you suspect my thoughts on this? If so, I’d love to hear more about that.
For me, opening posts can be really telling. Someone is either an eager scum trying too hard to appear towny right off the bat or they are town eager to get the game started. In that consideration, Tang’s posts gave me vibes of the latter.
This reaction is good.Guillotine wrote: ↑Fri May 21, 2021 5:17 pmDon't do that. I don't like it.
Giving me town points but also discrediting me for being wack. Cut it out.

Thought you’d have put Nutella at the top.
I’m not talking a lot about reading opening posts, I commented on some opening posts and people questioned me. To call me out for answering those questions, what is the scum motivation to answer them? Is town-motivated to ignore them?Gavial wrote: ↑Fri May 21, 2021 5:19 pmNope not saying they are wolfy I saying they are null.Actvscenei wrote: ↑Fri May 21, 2021 5:12 pmIt’s the opening posts.

You seem to be talking allot about how your reading people based off their opening post and then questioned me thus me responding with the above.
Now here’s a couple things.
1)What’s your opinion regarding my opening? (IMO it’s kinda something random I did that I’ve seen someone do in another game)
2)I was asking you about what that progression is that works and I don’t see any mention of that here all I see is constant speech regarding opening posts.

1) I haven’t read your opening I don’t think. If I did, it obviously didn’t stand out as I don’t remember it. I’m thinking I haven’t read it yet. Why are you defending it? It defeats the purpose to ask for my opinion on something and then influence my opinion with a defense before I can answer.
2) I mean, my answer was in that explanation lol. But to clarify, scum can sometimes enter in appearing immediately fine and then follow up their first post with posts trying to keep up a rouse. I didn’t see that with Tangy’s posts. They felt genuine all the way through the first couple interactions. There was no shift in tone after people entered and joined the convo.

Some part of me appreciates this pointed effort from Garden Gnome to reach across the site aisle to offer Dana encouragement, and the enthusiasm is nice. The language bears that sort of surface appearance that often gets people into trouble (e.g. scummy scum scum), sometimes rightly and often not.

I thought it wasn't bad, I did get a sense of a little bit of like exaggeration seeming rp type vibe but i dont think thats ai. the surface appearance seemed to me like that was the intentional tone she was going for as a sort of half-joke thing if that makes sense?JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Fri May 21, 2021 5:38 pmI'm torn about this post more than I'd typically be for some early Day 1 thing.Garden Gnome wrote: ↑Fri May 21, 2021 5:19 pm Hi, I am a Gnome!

If you can read gnome, you’re a better person than I lol. I generally hate meta, but gnome has been an impossible one for me to read because I’m always so sure she’s scum and then she isn’t.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Fri May 21, 2021 5:38 pmI'm torn about this post more than I'd typically be for some early Day 1 thing.Garden Gnome wrote: ↑Fri May 21, 2021 5:19 pm Hi, I am a Gnome!

Follow up, why did you choose to ask this particular question?
LAMIST is probably the most common scum agenda in the first 30 minutes of a game. Sometimes a partner has a strong entrance and you try to force a clear on them.
Act is an outed wolf if you ask me.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Fri May 21, 2021 5:08 pm Act's posts are classically stilted. I have no actual view of what that means; I don't know them well. Not a town read anyway.
I don't care about the language. The only question in my mind right now is if GG will continue to fluff or if they'll switch into content mode soon. I suspect they'll have a lot harder doing the latter naturally and in a townie way if they are mafia.JaggedJimmyJay wrote: ↑Fri May 21, 2021 5:38 pmI'm torn about this post more than I'd typically be for some early Day 1 thing.Garden Gnome wrote: ↑Fri May 21, 2021 5:19 pm Hi, I am a Gnome!
