what this is saying was that because I could not articulate reasons, the read was useless to me at that time. regardless, much has happened since then.

do I need to put this in webcomic format for you to understand it

I disagree with that sentiment, but he essentially is unwilling to vote VP despite having scum feelings from him
Honestly thinking about it UT's perspective here reeks of scum motivation, he's not scumhunting, just pushing people who look bad
idk saying a read is "weak, and therefore useless" to me reads that the person doesn't have convictions in that read so it's not really a solid read.

@agar- Noraa is attributing things she does in her play as scum to me. She “townslips” all the time, hence the increased sensitivity to it.

Yes, definitely.

So with Noraa, I'm pretty bugged out by the way she acted toward me in the PT and the inconsistencies about her read on me. At the same time, she has seemed very sensitive to the possibility of being the D1 yeet ... which could be scummy, or could be her just being very annoyed town who is overreacting. I think the hard thing with noraa is she is like 80% AtE all the time, so who the hell knows what is real and what is game with that.

On Gamma, I've expressed previously why I thought he was scummy. His big ass post did give me some pause. It felt like he was genuinely trying to work through things, and his conclusion was I'm the best yeet today. Ok, fine. But then he votes pooky because he doesn't think he can get the votes on me? That's kind of weird from my perspective. I wouldn't think pooky is any more likely than me today, if I'm just trying to broadly read the game state. So, he is saying he has such a strong town read on noraa that Pooky and I are essentially equitable outcomes, and he'll support whoever is more likely? Idk, the whole thing feels kind of like contrived reasoning.

My gut says gamma is more scummy overall, but if we do have a four town situation, I think Noraa is less utility because I don't read Cakez as scum at all right now and she seems keyed up to auto challenge him.

Kinda rude for u to say that. ur basically just justifying a vote on me as a Pl and *assuming* all 4 are town.

Ur like gamma is scummier but Noraa is more negative utility to town. Hence justifying ur vote on both largest wagons of the day.

Maybe I can see

a. why would you assume that autochallenge would happen?
b. Cakez getting yeeted there is the least likely outcome so why are you assuming it matters in terms of Cakez being on the table? that doesn't really make sense as the detail to focus on, imo.

so what your issue boils down to here is that Gamma made an effort post, then made a utilitarian vote? idgi. that tracks, for me.

You understand how silly this post is, right?

I mean, you're saying I'm justifying my vote when you literally said you'd yeet anyone who isn't you, nbd.

This is why I'm saying if you're town, you're pretty low utility. I tried to work with you and you came up with a harebrained theory that I'm scum because of that. It's not a town mentality. I honestly feel bad if you eat a lot of D1 yeets, but if this is your town play....what do you expect to happen?

Yeah, not talking in PT. I'd still be open to it, but noraa went off on me last time I tried when I asked her to explain her every yeet is good statement. I don't think it's on me to spark up the convo again.

Eh, it wasn't like it was that or gamma died. I don't understand townreading noraa over pooky here. Unless there is something more in the PT that is tripping him up.

Regardless, I don’t feel very strongly about an elimination in particular/I do feel that everyone is receiving enough pressure to not necessitate pressure voting. Leaning towards noraa though.

oh, no. the line was supposed to indicate that it was an unrelated thought.

if you don't feel strongly about any eliminations in particular, at least why do you lean towards that one?

more and more I am thinking AGar is scum here. he just fits perfectly into the slot of "scum trying not to shake the boat because a bunch of townies are on the table"
I feel decently sure VP, Noraa and Pooky are all town
fits with what Gamma just posted
