My main two immediate red flsgs from this that were the strongest two things that led me to vote JKBear in particular were:
The phrase “ok back to semi sleepily reading” on a post that was purely reactionary. This kind of “Beetlejuice” posting, where you respond when mentioned/accused, is seen in 2/4 of JKBear’s posts, but the last one in particular also goes out of its way to imply that he’s maintaining a level of thread awareness that there is no other evidence of in his posts. It’s purely showy, not solvy. Town aren’t always solvy, but they also don’t have a need to be showy.
The overall time distribution of these posts. Flash is a good counterexample to this - Flash came in at the start of the game with noticable energy, did some actual interaction with people, and then just never returned, presumably due to forgetting or being busy. JKBear entered the thread nearly immediately at SoD, then did nothing until he was voted an hour and a bit later, then did nothing for another 11 hours until he suddenly popped in to talk about how our games usually go. It’s clear he was present for parts of the game, but was having difficulty engaging naturally even when he was around. Certainly not damning on its own, but in tandem with the content of his posts being another red flag I felt much safer going here than anywhere else.
also ftr you guys are focusing a lot on questioning people about things when really it’s generally more effective to put yourself into their shoes and figure out why they are doing what they’re doing instead of demanding they justify themselves to you (which is exceptionally liable to “catch” villagers, especially given only scum are actively planning a story to tell when they do things)
ok but apparently your reason for doing stuff was “memeing” and i was taking d1 seriously so
i was trying to villa hunt
but i needed some level of cooperation
not just
“lol”
“lol”
“lmao”
i appreciate advice but refusing to help me do anything for an entire day and then telling me im doing stuff wrong is making me very close to infuriated
i have rewritten this three times
each time had less cussing until we were down to none
be proud of me
what is “this” referring to
im trying to understand because ive got paranoia kicking me in the back of my kneecaps
