i mean, its not actually a perspective slip but like idk. it feels weird

Could be seen as a scum Hally voting for the person less likely to care what she does, while saving someone that she can keep in the thread for buddying purposes.

From that perspective, this post from you could be seen as disappointment and resentment that it didn't work.

you guys are really twisting yourselves into pretzels trying to sr me and you should stop

So you were a Blatantly Obvious Villager until some player decided to cop you? I'm not trying to be hard on you, but how can you claim BOV when your scum game looks the same? Does that work? Does it work when you're scum? Have you ever said something like that when you were scum?

Just consider all those questions rhetorical, because I don't want to make a big thing out of it. Kind of making a point, if you get it then that's enough.

Because I am wrong a lot, so my reads are not so locked in that I refuse to question them, AND, the posts I made were the thoughts I had when I read yours. So I shared them. I don't know why you are getting so worked up about them. I better slow down here. Any more attempts at solving on my part and I'm yeeted for sure today, right?

i don’t know. i was actually just thinking about that when she made that post voting you. and my instinct was that i didn’t like it, but i don’t really know why. and i can see how she could be town and do think she’s trending up but at the same time feel like something is still missing maybe? like perhaps her focus is too narrow or something? i honestly don’t know. like idk if she’s as towny as id like her to be but i also... kinda feel like shes out of her scum range honestly. maybe im short changing her scum game too much but currently she’s posting better than both times ive seen her as scum

I've been thinking about that vote and I think what pings me is that it doesn't have much connection with her earlier reasons for scumreading me? Like the conclusion has stayed the same but the reasoning changed.

Actually hold on I'm gonna backread her and see how accurate that is.

I’m here to preach not to argue

Not good Day 1 play.

i agree, so why were you voting for me?

I liked Michelle's case.

I'd be interested to know what Long Con liked about Michelle's "case." It amounted to circular reasoning and "too many wolves."

Michelle's case for reference.

I, like Michelle, dislike an early certainty of reads. I didn't like how dunya was throwing shade at Michelle for trying a different style, it's a cheap shot, and I don't think delving into something like that, especially early, is particularly thoughtful scumhunting. I thought Michelle's criticism of dunya's "holier than thou tone" post in response to Ash was astute. At the end, Michelle challenges us to find reasons to townread dunya. Reading back over dunya's posts with that in mind, I could see them being scummy.

I don't recall this from you as a civilian. Or at all, really.

So Michelle is trying a new style. That V guy is trying a new style. I guess it is autumn now, isn't it?

Yeah so she was talking before about it being a gut read, and about me being agenda-y and shading her in a hidden way (it wan't really hidden I was straight up calling her a wolf but sure).

And yeah, you can have multiple reasons to scum read a person, that's fine. But also there's no reference or seeming awareness of her earlier read. It almost like she's mentally starting from scratch here rather than building on a foundation that already exists.

I don't know how good a thought this is, but there was something niggling me there and I wanted to try and articulate it.

PIT STOP IN PENZA

Friday, May 29th, 2020
5:23 a.m. MSK

I little-know industry secret is that a properly-operating sewer treatment plant does not, in fact, smell bad. Penza's sewer plant was clearly not operating properly as the travelers rolled past the plant on their way into town.

Sidney and Chelsea reassigned the pairings over a light breakfast and gradually sent pairs on their way. The instructions were simple- meet at the rendezvous point (the Penza Zoo) at 16:30 and keep a low profile. It was a much easier task to walk to the city zoo. It was just over 5 kilometers from where their train came to a rest. The first quarter mile was the most treacherous, with little to keep the travelers from looking out of place until they reached the sidewalks and traffic lights of the urban center.

After last night's drama, Sidney had hoped to avoid sending forth any groups of three. There were 16 of them after Pasha's plunge, but now they were an odd number again. Chelsea paced back and forth while Sidney examined Stanislav's body. No blood, and no visible signs of trauma until Sidney pulled down his neck gaiter.

"It's subtle," Sidney said, "but look at this bruising here."

"He was strangled?" Chelsea asked.

"Looks that way," Sidney sighed. "The train is noisy enough, and he bunked down here around these crates from most of the rest of us. Poor judgement and it cost him."

"So sad," Chelsea said. "I heard him telling the others about his story. He was a doctor in Krasnoyrask and saw a few colleagues get pushed out of windows when they tried to speak up about the Coronavirus. He was trying to get to the West to expose Russia's manipulation of their health statistics."

"And now he's a statistic. How fitting."

"Don't be so callous, Sidney," Chelsea teased. "Let's get moving."

"Yes, let's."

While Chelsea headed out with her walking partner, Sidney had to coax his partner for the day to get up to speed.

"Why so sluggish, comrade?" he asked.

"I do not feel well this morning," he replied. "I feel hot and sore all over."

"Feverish?" Sidney asked. "Well there's no better way to beat a fever than moving your ass before I shoot you in a Russian hell hole. Now go."

-----------------------------

tutuu is dead.

She was Stanislav Lebedeva, an escaped political prisoner and civvie doctor.

It is now Day 2.

You have 48 hours to eliminate someone.
