How is this impacting your Dan read?
it doesn't really matter right now, but I'll consider it as Dan continues to post
So you're not looking back through this lens but will look through it going forward?

Why is that?

I may have missed it if you answered my question. I'm curious about the meaning of your tags in your reads list. what do strikethroughs and bolding denote?
I will answer
Could I ask what your best guess is first?

You might have more luck if you explain why you’re NOT Town reading me and seeing how people respond vs. calling me scum with no explanation and expecting people to feel the same way!

I think shello is town

Firebagel feels awkward and stilted as scum in a way that I'm not sensing here and is probably town too

Our best guess is that the strikethroughs mean you've found them town enough for now, and the bolds are your scumreads/concerns.

Why is that?
regardless of dan's tendencies, i still believe in my read that his push on marci is the type of shallow push scum are more likely to make, and i believe i can differentiate this *generally* from shallow pushes that are more likely to come from town

I acknowledge it's possible my radar isn't tuned to the correct frequency but that's only going to be corrected by me over time, not people telling me what their meta of Dan is

In post 313, ActionDan wrote: Dannflor what has Marci done to mitigate what is "objectively" scummy that I or anyone else shouldn't read her as scum?
idk I just think she believes in what she's saying about the hood. I don't really know why you suspect marci beyond her disagreeing with you about the hood. it feels like you see an inconsistency in her posting especially with how you're pointing out klick agreed with your opinion but marci still posted her paranoia in the main thread. but I don't know why that makes marci scum. It's manufactured? why? why isn't it genuine paranoia from marci? imo marci scum would probably be more likely to follow hood consensus in that regard

Wow, could not be more wrong. :lol: But the "omg you're playing wrong" way of thinking could easily be your towngame.

That's basically accurate

I find value in it being ambiguous. I like to experiment with different methods of expressing my thoughts on the game. I also enjoy extracting information out of how people engage with different levels of ambiguity vs straightforwardness. I often find that some people's assumptions about things like that are pretty closely attached to alignment.

I'll occasionally shift how willing I am to highlight someone in one direction or another just to try it out and see what will happen

NGL I (Neuter) was pretty pleased to be at the top of your middle until I realized it was probably because we were first in the player list order.

Can you explain why Brian Skies is a strikethru?
