Or rather about Kagerou NOT scrutinizing Tenshi... I don't care anymore. Catchup basically done, last page.

When I did my Stare At The Playerlist thing for 743, I actually had to iso Reisen becuase I realized that I could not recall a single post that they had made. But then I quite liked these two posts:

Spoiler:

Reisen can you elaborate on your 'ew' pile? Our reads seem to align in that regard but i want to know why you feel that way

They aren’t going to be for the same reasons cuz I’m super selfish and the world revolves around me but.

I thought kagerou putting me in their town core off just my ascetic claim was super weird. Marisa piggybacked on but I get their mindset because I’m also predisposed to town reading lighthearted jokey slots especially early in games. So reads genuine.

Kagerous read felt more like my name was thrown in there for the out of the box factor, because that’s just what townies do.

Dai felt more upset that I was being considered townie for doing nothing and I could see that as more scum frustration. So could I can see multiple worlds there.

I don’t think they are together.

Also I’ll add that I’ve lightened up on the kagerou read solely because of koishi who has shot up to one of my stronger townreads.

I had a pet theory that kagerou was OVERLY familiar with koishi, suggesting they were in a pt together.

I quoted the post but it seemed Fmpov that kagerou had a bead on who koishi was and that would have to come from more correspondence than was in the thread because I don’t think they had much interaction before that point?


But I’m at the point where I feel strongly that koishi is town and I’m just chasing ghosts there.

so I bumpped her into my Can Live To Day 2 Pile

They just rang true in my brain as True And Genuine Thoughts.

I responded to you on the previous page Clownpiece.
Fyi. I'm not sold that my own reasoning is valid.

[Ichirin Kumoi]

Synopsis:
New!Koishi is towny as hell.
Aya is probably town, Aya/Sanae looks really bad for Sanae to me. I really don't like how Clownpiece approached the Aya sitch but I think they're overall town-ish?
Kagerou def a little suspicious.
Tenshi still flying under the radar for me.

If Reisen wagon falls through I'll probably go Sanae. VOTE: Reisen

pedit: Those are certainly

nice

posts but I would really like to see some more of said nice posts.

[Ichirin Kumoi]

VOTE: Reisen

Also, eek!

[Tenshi Hinanawi]

N-notice me senpais

[Ichirin Kumoi]

Would you like to share with the class your thoughts on Reisen, Sanae?

[Clownpiece]

I think that my vote on Ichirin is being wasted because no one agrees with me

I think that VOTE: Daiyousei is probably my preferred vote excluding Ichirin.

[Yuuka Kazami]

Reisen simply hit my town tone button.
They feel like town.

[Koishi Komeiji]

i am feeling a little less engaged with this game right now mostly because i'm struggling to reconcile my desire town-bloc to and PoE scum BECAUSE of my large amount of townreads with acknowledging the fact that i need to raise my standards when it comes to assigning townreads in the first place

maybe that's day 2 Larva's problem

It's called "making a beer list" and it's SOOOOOO ten pages ago.

[Sanae Kochiya]

I mean you're the one who decided to vote after me
I don't particularly care to discuss the Aya conversation right now, maybe I will tomorrow. I'd rather r not think about it and if you vote me for it :shrug:

Pedit exceedingly null in a playerlist where I'm townreading a lot of people, I can vote Dai or Kaguya presently as well, I liked that Eternity Larva was pressuring there

Pedit @Ichirin
I might choose to switch to Dai or Kaguya at some point

[Koishi Komeiji]

Synopsis:
New!Koishi is towny as hell.

Get me-Koshi shot N1 challenge coming along fine it seems.

[Yuuka Kazami]

UNVOTE:

Aya is still in my suspicion pile.

[Eternity Larva]

i am still not townreading Kagerou, but my hang up echoes the sentiments shared by several others that i don't see why they'd be so purposefully difficult/contrary as scum here

i sense that Kagerou has the charisma and ability to be more agreeable in a natural way as scum and have avoided placing themselves in the limelight so early. i'm not sensing any attempt at utilizing these skills to manipulate or gain an upper hand in this situation. i am also getting townpings from their posts referencing being happy with their contributions to the gamestate in response myself and others going after their fluffy ISO

i think writing this post has me slightly SLIGHTLY leaning town there after all? but slight town leans are basically scum leans this game so not much has changed i guess

[Clownpiece]

You can take it at face value and agree that their strategy wasn't working, so they went to a more traditional place. But I think they read people's suspicions of them and the requests they make. It depends how you feel about them

I guess I see what you are saying, but I guess I don't see it as the same thing as I saw with Ichirin.

Kagerou already had all of those reads stated prior, they just stopped and explained more because people kept asking them to. Ichirin suddenly found a new thing that was THAT IMPORTANT in that exact moment.

I guess the difference being that Kagerou's might be reactionary to being what was said, but did not come across as performative/fake.

[Clownpiece]

I responded to you on the previous page Clownpiece.
Fyi. I'm not sold that my own reasoning is valid.

I saw both, just responded in the order of effort needed from me. I had already dont all the thinking about Reisen earlier today, and yours was gonna need a close read and think

[Eternity Larva]

@Kagerou, your largest scum read, Clownpiece, is basically a universal town read at this point. do you find this problematic in any way? is there a reason you're not fighting harder to get people to see what you're seeing?

[Clownpiece]

Clownpiece, is basically a universal town read at this point.

I got you guys right where I want you

Spoiler: where I want you

[Eternity Larva]

I am gonna largely pretend that that last Sanae and Aya exchange does not exist, because engaging with it feels icky, but

I'm saying that if Ichirin was scum she came out and chose violence.

I have seen this voiced a couple times (it may have been Aya both times, but I *think* it was actually someone else the first time, but I have not looked back).

But like... my interpretation of Ichirin's response was the exact opposite. Her response did feel like it was designed to appease her voters, but it just back fired.

She immediately went and found a New and Novel thing to be suspicious of, and double and tripled down on it (to a silly degree imo), when the main accusation was that there was no sign of solving from her, and it felt like she was avoiding questioning her voters - like her goal was just to change our minds.

It was not until Yuuka kept being so aggressive that she started to snap back at one of her voters.

Anyway, focusing on Ichirin I find myself agreeing with the clown. Koichi might have been on to something and I brushed that half of the conversation aside.

But I didn’t like how little interest ichirin showed in pursuing their voters till yuuka bit in. Eternity being a teammate makes sense to me and brings it all in together. I didn’t really see them calling out eternity as alignment indicative in the moment, just a weird way to look at the game. I see the theater potential though.

is your scum read (?) on me entirely due to my defense of Ichirin? if so, what about our interaction looks like scum partners vs. me just genuinely townreading Ichirin? if not, please elaborate on why you are scum reading me

[Eternity Larva]

my fun and unique hot take that i am still not townreading Koishi overall even with 2.0 doing their best to redeem that slot!

[Sanae Kochiya]

Ooooh that is a pretty hot take
What don't you like about the slot?

[Koishi Komeiji]

my fun and unique hot take that i am still not townreading Koishi overall even with 2.0 doing their best to redeem that slot!

Thank you, finally somebody does that.
