oh in retrospect its only a little better than a null read
i liked his soliloquy about voting cakez enough to not want to lim him that day
still wonder if there's anything to anyone's votes on him
i don't think i ever saw anything really articulated
ill recant this take. not good enough in this landscape

it seems pretty easy to write a believable interpretation of my posts on this page that convey the opposite take so i guess i should credit you for not doing that
i still think this + the snow towncase makes gypx town hard to say no to
she gave up options that she didn't have to, and was reasonably convincing in the execution
still some pairings that could be plausible if we assume there's a display of skill going on here

ok re-read iso and i'm more confident that T3 is town, separately from my townread of deus
i wish id written out why i independently tr'ed t3 here
also wish someone would have called me out for not elaborating

Gypyx still looks like the scummiest player to me, it feels like she's trying too hard to play to some kind of town style rn
Klick and Ausuka feel town
Maybe i'm just town <3
have you played with cakez before?
@sircakez I'm trying to parse the above post as well why aren't they just town what screams trying hard to play town to you?
That was a while ago but it was a tonal thing, Gypyx posts felt forced to me
This is also just why I voted Gypyx
oh this is kinda meh actually
this probably discounts the independent t3 tr i had in the earlier post but i guess we'll see

sensing a level of understated dissonance between the "I do not buy this for a second" a while ago and the "It just seems weird" of this page
Think this take is underrated!

i dont think ill be able to give up on my cakez read. im sorry if it's wrong
VOTE: cakez
I do not buy this for a second
In general, I think this post looks dubious in the context of what T3 posted afterwards. Along with moderating his assessment of my posting to "It just seems weird", the posts in between are rather mirthless and passive for someone who has read a post he does "not buy this for a second". I think that for most people, picking up a scumread that intense in a game where you've otherwise struggled to develop many confident takes should be more energizing.
...
still committed to the idea that the leaning to townread aureal is tonal more than anything. her town equity is overrated.
maybe is too far to discount gypx's positioning as potentially merely a display of skill, but we can at
least
assume that experienced scum players can play the tone game well.
key question for a deeper look: is there more to aureal's iso than that?
i think im ignoring various "paranoia takes" people have made that have influenced my confidence in some reads. it's maybe right to do this though...
While she's left the door open to it, I'm kinda suspicious of gypx's decline in 518 to weigh PC's relational equity more heavily. Given that she has a number of relatively strong reads in her iso, I feel like she's in a better position to reason some convincing conclusions via poe than maybe even I am atm. Her posts today suggest that she has the will to do this kind of interpretive work, so there's a tension there.
Key questions:
- How robust is gypx's towncase for snow? How plausible is it that she'd decline pushes on me/snow as scum? Does she still have a plausible path to victory if we imagine she's committed to her most consistent reads?
- Is there more to aureal's iso than a pro-town tone?
- How has HPE's posts
really
affected likelihood that the robert slot is scum?
- What reasons are people giving for finding PC scummy? How much do his pushes
really
matter for discounting hypothetical scumreads?
- Where should my read on T3/Deus be after a renewed interpretation of key posts in their isos?
You can't step in the same river twice.
