I ask him specifically cuz I can't remotely see how you can have him at a similar tier as FL

But you agree that Klazam and Random Nurse can be at the same tier?

About this vote:

Just ISO'd bbmolla, nothing really worth noting.

his push on FL seems fair

, I personally think FL seems more townish, but to be honest its a purely gut read, and I am more suspect of people hard town reading him already at that point.

When reading through, this jumped out. BBmolla's "push" on FL is really no more than a policy lim to eliminate the player that is hardest to read. Then when asked what made the push fair, ZZZX says it's fair because it could be a gutread, but it's unclear how that would make it "fair" or even a believable scumread. I also feel like he's hiding behind his BBmolla nullread a little bit to try and handwave away the sloppiness of this statement in 963

I personally don't have anybody as high as FL. Those two I can sorta get it, but ducky I don't have a read on at all and wanna get more to read them one way or another which is why I asked ducky first.

[TemporalLich]

okay the worst's recent posts are really towny

my PoE still remains the same: Psyche, furtiveglance, Hu Tao and iamveryhappy

with Flavor Leaf and BBmolla being in the "unsure if PoE or not" range

[TemporalLich]

also, I townread Aisa for posts like 1450 and 1416, while Cat Scratch Fever seems to have an iota of towniness to me

I don't think solving for tw today is super important, so the read is more vibes

But I thought about why I townread his progression and 1465 specifically other than "vibes~" - I think TL is in a position where people who townlean him are not going to be defending him super hard, and he's also scumread by a few folks iirc. He is not particularly difficult to eliminate today

So 1465 is a fairly in-depth read that I think scum would not bother to make at this juncture. They can sit back and be more lazy. And tw closes out the post with "i just have zero interest in trying to take an accurate guess at TL's alignment anymore," which is pretty funny after clearly putting a lot of thought into the slot and also probably comes from town

I agree on that first sentiment. I can see what you mean by that, especially as (currently) low commitment TW.

[JacksonVirgo]

Also can I ask why you SR me specifically

[Cat Scratch Fever]

It started as just a feeling when you were questioning TL - I felt like TL was being weird town, and it seemed a bit like you were pushing him for his weird but not necessarily scummy stances.

Then you had a moment feel like you're pocketing FL by having the same read as him when you started townreading TL in 368. I call this out specifically because the progression didn't quite make sense to me. Did you start townreading TL between 350 and 368? Anyway, I feel like around that time (pg. 14-15), it was mostly FL interrogating TL to get a better read whereas I'm not sure how your questions there were designed to get a better read on him.

The "having the same read as FL" happened again in 1068. You almost feel like a chameleon where you change your stances when FL does

But a couple of other random posts pinged me:
749 felt strange to me. like up to that point, you pretty clearly townreading FL, so this post seemed performative

I also think posts like 1203 are how scum are likely to position around a TL lim. As in you don't want to be pushing a policy lim, but you aren't going to step in to stop it from happening either

holistically it ends up south of null for me

OK, what exactly puts me at the top of your list?

[Psyche]

don't exactly agree that tw's tl profile is much of a towntell. scum with decent intuitions about what makes someone look town (and tw probably has those) can fake the sort of diffidence on display there. and i honestly raised an eyebrow or two when they seemed to imply that they frequently agree with things TL says. can't even count how many times i've had to keep myself from quotereplying a TL post with something like "???"

I think you're kind of obvious scum as scum no offense. This doesn't seem like your scum play so far

[Psyche]

Thought it over and still scumlean BBMolla over the TL policylim push. Guess I'll move my vote but I do hope I can do better than this soon.

That's probably fair

RE the bolded, are you referring to 1467 or something else?

[Aisa]

Well now I’m curious why I’m getting scumread, Scratch

[Cat Scratch Fever]

I think your catch up is more likely to come from scum in the sense that you only commented on things that happened 40+ pages ago (aside from some fluff posts), and merlyn was scummy

[Cat Scratch Fever]

Does it surprise you that I'm scum reading you?

[BBmolla]

Is Molls still here? He is half the reason I repped in.

This is a very rough draft read, but going back to their reads list post and subsequent posts, kind don't like him.....pains me to say.

And yes, it is vibe lol.....seems different from I am used to.

Hi Drew!

Had a busy day and mostly just waiting for this day to end

[Aisa]

Ok, however unlike scum that’s trying to fake engagement I will continue my catch up tonight

Does it surprise you that I'm scum reading you?

Initially I was a little surprised, but reflecting on why you might scumread me I decided you might have pretty fair reasons
I thought the read could have been based on Merlyn and also that in my like… 5 posts at the time I wasn’t particularly towny

[BBmolla]

My response to the vote on me is a big shrug

[BBmolla]

May have more time tomorrow

[the worst]

Haven't read much up on them yet tbh, but as I hinted at I know how their style can be.......and this was more a commentary on Shrek and not TL, but does remind me that I need to look at TL a bit more deeply, but repping into D1 in a 23 player game.......not trying to try hard too much initially lol.

i feel that lol. tl is also a really bad starting point if you're not feeling strongly

i get tl's playstyle in general, i think the feeling i'm settling on is that if tl is scum, they are not the member of the team who is intended to come out of d1 looking particularly towny - they're in chaos / attack mode, not playing a long game

in my heart of hearts i can't bring myself to townread tl outright, but i think they're a fairly bad yeet right now


do you have many reads cooking atp?

I think we are on the same page in regards to TL.

My reads are a work in progress tbh, I am not the type to sub into a large with 50+ pages and catch up from the beginning, so I am trying to play in real time.

no worries, I feel like I'm in limbo a bit too and think talking to y'all has helped me get my reads down much more than reading

It's nice to see someone else who's finding Klazam just like, very towny. Also dig the hard townread on RN.

Actually I like this list a bunch

What makes you like Naerys & shaddowez? & do you have like, a specific reason to scumread furtive?

[the worst]

Iavh is a bomb that explodes after dying
He might be wolf, tbh. His frustrated post does not feel entirely honest

I'm replying to Naerys but asking the world. I'm a bit behind on the Normal queue and doing other things rn; is there anything other than Vengeful which activates on yeet?
