Do you disagree with my read on Zefiend? If you do and want to discuss I’m certainly down with that.
Do you disagree with my read on Nero? Same offer applies.
But don’t grandstand me for not saying “Here are the three scum BAM”. I don’t operate that way and probably you should know that regardless of which head this is …
We do disagree with your Nero read.
I'll go back to something mastina brought up a while ago.
I did some research and the short answer is "yes."In post 3414, mastina wrote:To be honest: I need to refresh my memory on your scumgame.In post 3159, Nero Cain wrote:youKNOWthis is townNero so why would a presumably townMastin pretend like she doesn't know that?
Like.
It used to be simple.
You and Antihero both had the same tell: lurking. It was a very strong, VERY reliable tell. You lurked, you were scum; you did stuff, you weren't scum.
Tell me, does that tell still hold true?
The longer, more detailed answer is that in the recent past, Nero does appear to struggle as scum a little bit. Here's three recent town games of his: Street Fighter, Mini Normal 1829, and Mini 1839. In all of them, he was one of the top posters. Even in the mini games, he racked up a post count in the triple digits. Contrast this to recent scumgames: Dragon Age Mafia (part of the 100 Percent Ego hydra), Mini 1848, and Large Normal 199. In those, he's doesn't get beyond the middle of the pack in the activity overview. In two of them, he's below even the mod.
I looked over his ISOs from the scum games and it looks like Nero attempts to project an "aggressive" tone at points, but overall they're relatively meek. Probably most strikingly, I don't really see Nero's indignation at not being followed (Post 3511 among others) fitting into his scum game. I also don't think Nero would kill Infinity. Infinity wasn't scumreading Nero and likely wouldn't be in the near future. Drunken Piper would've been a much more immediate threat.
We think mastina is town, mostly due to her interactions with Pine.
