Sorry, started the post with they since your pronouns arent listed and went with the avatar.
It's fine, I just don't pick one because back in the day (geriatric comes in play here) there wasn't anything like that. I think there was an option to show gender if you clicked your profile however. It's just me being forever lost in halcyon days

"cluster obvtown at the keep to make the keep easy" is kind of not the best strategy wise because the keep is already the easiest location for us to win. I guess I can see why to put two there but like, fundamentally using the "resource" of consensus townreads to win the keep seems like an inefficient usage.

I still think ssbm and T3 are acting town. It's not really worth putting in effort to convince someone I think is town that I am town until phase 2 if we're in the same location after the swap.

ssbm brings up interesting points on unwnd re: his early posting and this game vs the previous (though I don't buy that so much because unwnd basically lampshaded it by describing how he'd acted in the last game) and I'd like to see him reply to them.

There doesn't seem to be much to be respond to, I don't think Kyouko's intent to read me is malicious. It seems she already did a decent amount of homework on me as well

it's a bit odd but I think you have to read Dunn a bit differently in that regard

I'm fine to let other people decid where I'm going and then kicking things into high gear from there.

I considered just entering the keep, because really what can other people do about that besides swap me, but have decided against taking any impulsive actions

In theory having discussion and trying rto group townreads together at locations is a good way to play this, however, I can't help but worry the way it's going will lead people into confirmation bias and that sort of thing becomes very easy to exploit with the swap. I'm tempted to call kyouko's bluff about me and T3 right now, tbh.

Not particularly, no. I think his reads feel mostly genuine in terms of how he's reacting to what happens.

Because if my T3 read is wrong then he crumbles up against either of them who will out town him.

Or he'll just be town. This doesn't work however because Kyouko already decided

In post 215, ssbm_Kyouko wrote:and unwnd not going anywhere quickly in this game is probably just to not look the same way she did when she was scum last time, for anyone else who was in that game and saw her do it. From what I understand S_S wrote the setup so maybe he was mod in that game, and he is the connection to that game. If he is the only connection to that game, it is highly likely that scum!unwnd means town!S_S
See, you had me going with the unwnd scum theory because I thought it was plausible, and then you make this post where you make a hypothesis based on arbitrary assumptions that are untrue whilst not bothering to do the bare minimum of research to see that unwnd, S_S, Dunnstral, and me were all players in the previous run of this game, (and I have referred to seeing it from the other side), and so I think posts like this are just meant to look impressive in terms of looking solvey while actually being utterly hollow and worthless and showing a complete lack of thought.
