I've actually decided that this is good
At this point I am Most Bothered that it resulted in a full thread abandonment after he got his explanation out, despite his promises to solve the game right before-

yes i was reading it as it was happening
i liked pooky for jumping on that, its +
so much so it made me want to as well.
however i feel like the explanation does make sense, esp considering the "im high" portion of it. so i think it doesnt give a good read on cakez at all. i hate how he isnt engaging in thread though since i view him very highly as a player.-

No I mean 1937 meant nothing to me because "are those words supposed to be understandable by the masses?" is exactly where I was at that point, so replying "it's pretty clearly been notsci" was just more gibberish to me until he said it more clearly.In post 2013, morph the cat wrote:
it was a signal specifically to notsci.In post 2006, Firebagel wrote: Yeah I didn't glean the meaning of that post saying it was notsci either
I'm only vaguely aware of the existence of notsci though so that's kinda to be expected-

In general, I think that because of ActionDan's economy of posting, players who don't know him well or haven't seen his play from a position of mod omniscience aren't aware of just how much he thinks through game design from the lens of his own abillities. The surface waves of all that thought (which Marci thinks are scum-indicative) are part of the reason that I've townleaned him. To move him above the line in my reads, I needed to see more, but not a lot more.In post 1737, Lukewarm wrote:
This prompted me to do start doing isos, but I am not getting through them today. So far I got Actiondan -> Gypyx -> Gypyx -> Spiff, but that is probably all Im getting to tonight.In post 1613, morph the cat wrote:In post 1513, Lukewarm wrote: I was scum reading action dan at the time (this read has mellowed with time), and it still did not resonate with me.
Luke, can you talk about your current reads?
Spoiler: Actiondan
I don't feel nearly as strongly about that post as you do. I thought I had called out a possible Gypyx townslip, but it's not in my iso. Just two reluctant call outs of players I'm not townreading.Spoiler: gypyx
Spoiler: firebagel
My main impression of Firebagel, besides liking their cheekiness, is that in this playerlist they give me LHF feels. I have an alt guess, but I haven't actually played a game with the player I'm thinking of so I'm not putting much stock in it, other than to note that if I'm right I wouldn't can that player LHF.
Spoiler: Spiff
Spiffeh has a bar to clear with both heads. One read has softened a little, the other hasn't. And knowing my tendencies to look really hard for town motivation, I'm happy to have Cabd keeping me vigilant.
I need more content from Klick.So that is a town lean for Actiondan, Gypyx, and Spiff -- and a scum read for firebagel.
VOTE: firebagel
I started to list out my full town reads, and realized I might have too many. >.<
Before starting these isos, I was at:
Marci, Crab
morph, oblivion
CSF, Pooky, Ydra,
All as town of varying strengths, so adding Actiondan, Gypyx, and Spiff feels like too many. But that is not a problem that I will be able to address tonight.
My pre-iso concerns wereactiondan, klick, sunflower, but very little confidence in any of them. I do feel like I need to look back at Klick and Sunflower's exchange from earlier, it struck me as an exchange I should be able to discern alignment from, but did not give up its secrets on the first pass.
I know from modding the Dream game and backup modding Prism's Invictus game that fireisredsir can generate a LOT of surface-town content as scum. It's possibly unfair, but it's where I'm at.-

I actually wrote 2048 out with a "you" that I then replaced with "ffery" because I realized I was responding to cabd.
But the similarity is striking lol-

For absolutely no good reason, I looked up a game I remembered drawing some conclusions from timestamps. It's a different sort of take from Isekai and and this game. If I think really hard about it there are probably other examples scattered here and across the internet.In post 2091, Lukewarm wrote:

I looked at the timestamp on the post where the mod introduced you. I looked at the timestamp of your first post and I looked at the timestamp of your reads post. From your first post to your reads post was a little less than an hour. Between the mod post and the reads post was a little more than an hour.
Do I fail at math or something?-

not a strong oneIn post 1900, Dannflor wrote: @sunflowers and Klick, do either of you have an opinion about my alignment yet
your opening felt scummy to me but i think lately you've felt background more in a town way
i think you're not making a show of evaluating things but still doing it which is fairly towny imo
so i guess light townread for now

What do you want to do today wrt your hood?
in regards to my hood, i dont really care. prefer for it to get solved but im not confident enough to make the call myself. more just "voice my opinion and dont shove it down throats"
i think in regards to letting it sit for a day for ~mechanical reasons~ (which i saw some people, i can specifically remember dragons but im sure others have said) would it not make sense to let it sit for a few more after that?
1 night to give
another night to give and get a result
and another night to get a result to confirm upon what we learnt previously
does that not make the most mechanical sense if we want to go down that route?
but i dont think its realistic to let a 1/5 shot slip through our fingers for that long.
my personal reads on my hoodmates have not changed much.
sunflower - klick - dragons - actiondan slot
granted the hood has been dead ever since the "hi" fest this morning, save for jupiter head complaining about # of pages and then not following up in hood after that. (i think i prob responded after they dipped tho)-

Something like this. ask me for reasoning. I know you will ask about Lukewarm so I will say I have a different bar of what I think they are capable of as mafia, and aside from their interaction with you I don't like their posting very much. Actually Klick said something similar so maybe they are more pure than I am giving them credit for.-

And there's really nothing in their ISO that gives me unequivocal townvibes. I was looking back fireisred's posts about her neighbors and it struck me that she's been suspicious of/shaded every one of them over the last nearly 3 days.
