Let's start some content.
SH is town.
notscience is town.
Team 9 is scum.
Bins is scum.
this is where I started to have problems with Titus. the thing that pinged me about this post was the bolded line.
there's hardly any actual content in this post, plus it implicates there wasn't content before, which isn't true. for example, none of the reads were backed up with reasons - if she was going for content here, she could have easily backed up these reads. despite saying she's starting content, she actually isn't doing much to develop content at all.
so this line roughly translates to "look at how town I am, starting content", without actually providing any - it's her positioning herself as a helpful townie who's trying to cut down on fluff and provide content, without actually having any effect on the gamestate.
I alluded to this in a previous post when I mentioned a pattern I was seeing that I didn't like, and that she'd continue doing it if she was scum here. this is the pattern I was talking about: her trying to position herself as a helpful, pro-town townie, while none of her actions actually had legitimate town motivation. p much my entire read until she replaced out was based off this.

this is the same as the previous post - it's a mostly pointless post that doesn't do anything. again, it reads as scum Titus trying to position herself as a helpful townie, without actually doing anything legitimately town motivated.

same thing - her trying to act helpful and position herself as a town leader, without doing anything legitimately town motivated.
this is especially true bc I'm pretty sure we had (pointlessly) been trying to diffuse Sakura v. tn and failing at it. even coming from Titus, I'd think most people would have realized we had every reason to be defeatist here. thus, the town motivation behind this post doesn't match her words.

same thing - I don't think most people would legitimately think Sakura and tn would actually listen, when faced with a statement like this. not to mention, this came after the massive amount of posts had mostly died down, so from a town POV it's not natural to make a suggestion like this at that point in the game. the best motivation I can think of to post smth like this is, as I said, to position herself as a helpful townie who's trying to lead and organize while not suggesting anything useful.
I'm aware she said she was trying to diffuse Sakura v. tn while it was going on - if she is town, this is true and you can find it exactly where she said to look - however, I wouldn't put it past her to fake that as scum. however, as I said, the timing on this post is different and it doesn't make sense to make a suggestion like this at this particular point in the game.
--------------------------------
I've already said the reason I thought Titus' replace out was town (
1396). however, GIF told me the anger behind it was too sudden to come from town, and I admit it's possible she replaced out for other reason and was able to use that as an excuse, so I don't wanna write her off as town based off it.
re: Thesp's post: from what I can tell there's nothing unfakeable in there, but I haven't analyzed it too much.
thoughts?
