FL is gonna sweet talk me into not suspecting him and that’s just going to make me suspect him more and then he’s going to flip the read and try to pin me on something minute that I won’t exactly have an answer for but will make us tunnel each other for a bit. Then I’ll think he’s town for it but keep a pocket scumread on him so he can’t see me keeping tabs on him till it’s too late. But he’ll expect me to do that because town him would expect me to do that and I’ll go back to tunneling because my gut was right. Then we will eventually land on town reading each other until one of us tries to vigi the other or one of us gets nked.

Yes I am waiting for Merlyn to explain her a reads a bit more, is weird she can't even when directly asked by multiple people.
You are? How weird, I'm waiting for you to answer MY question and you never did.
I actually am with Roden here, elaborate on your Marci town read please.
Are you asking what I mean by towny confidence, or? I'll quotes the posts I mean if so
I also asked Roden for clarification on this, and didn't get anything back.

Why don't you let me know what you don't understand about it and I'll clarify
I asked for more because, well, let's go back to this read in question:

Marci's confidence strikes me as town, that kind of posting without careful evaluation and reevaluation I see from scum a lot.
This is such a simple statement there's really nothing to not understand here from my point of view. Marci has a way of posting that I think scum find hard to duplicate. I can offer multiple examples of this if you want me to- again, that's why I asked. I also don't think it's premature to start reading folks on a vibe this early in the game.
I did answer, back in 386. I quoted you, so you should've seen a notification for it.
I don't understand your reason for town reading Marci and this explanation isn't helping. "Marci has a way of posting that I think scum find hard to duplicate" doesn't explain anything because it sounds like you're just describing Marci's play style. What does it matter if scum have a hard time duplicating the way Marci posts when we're asking you why you town read her in the first place?

Idk about Merlyn anymore, I think she's probably town. Her little tinfoil thing about Alianna on the last page felt like it was coming from a town mindset trying to spot TMI, and she seems to be reassessing with new info. Her tone felt a bit defensive but that could just be a personal thing
I think meowmeow and RCEnigma are town
I don't think anything Penguin has done so far is really scum indicative for him
VOTE: Cakez
Don’t really have anything of value to add to this I just like this post.

End scene.
...you just described my previous experience with FL with like 95% accuracy.

The audacity of you to link to your post 386 and say that counted as an answer.
I really don't know what more I could say that would help you understand. It's an impression I have- that Marci isn't worried about the optics of what she says and whether folks sr it or not.

this cruel cruel game sucks because i can't tell who is partners with cakez yet..
Why Cakez?
Hes doing this thing where hes complaining but doing nothing to fix the problem. It makes it look like hes here, but hes really just doing nothing. Usually people would just not say anything about having no reads unless theyre prompted.
It's a little early for that to be an issue, I think.
I think I only have like two games with him and they were a while back, but in the one I remember most I was scum vs town!Cakez and your description doesn't sound far off from his play there. He caught me pretty early on so I know he can hunt when it comes down to it.
isnt cakez a "good player" though?? drew seems to think so at least!
if drews confident hes town then im confident cakez will come in and give us some hella good reads to make me change my mind!!!
cakez will lead us to victory! everyone needs to believe in our angelic god cakez!!!!
I think it's hard for scum to write in this uncalculated way. Could she just be really good at replicating that vibe when scum? Sure, and I might change my opinion down the road. But my first take is to think she's towny.

regarding roden, i don't really have a read on him yet. i'd be interested to hear people's roden thoughts. a lot of his posts are mech stuff (most of which i don't agree with at all, but that's probably nai). i guess i'd like to hear why he voted merlyn in the first place given his poking at her was for posts made after his vote
I voted her because 230 felt weird considering she only had two votes at the time. I wanted to see how Devil reacted to a blank vote, I anticipated a chainsaw but they didn't do that so I felt a little better about them. I didn't move my vote because I feel like Merlyn jumped the gun in calling Marci vs Drew TvT and it seems like she's stalling out having to explain her read.
Also I'm talking about mech a lot because puzzles tickle my brain. I know site meta is to punish mech talk but it's literally just fun to me, and I can talk mech and solve players at the same time. But if I start hyper focusing too much on mech please just tell me, that's all I really need.
i guess that's fair? i probably lean town on this response anyway
i don't mind the mech talk. i think i'd be a massive hypocrite if i did! i was just saying, like, it's harder to get a read on him than you might expect from the postcount
