As in, I think his behaviour may be simply be the result of having limited time and not valuing sorting his teammate as much as Nancy or Flea do.

I've touched on this, but I think that there are multiple ways a Townie can make themselves useful in this setup. The neighbourhood is definitely a resource, but having a nullread on your teammate and good reads on the rest of the playerlist would also be very helpful.

In short, I guess that the accusation Flea is levelling here is that furtive doesn't seem to prioritise sorting me, but I don't see how that's scum-indicative.
This is interesting, as this is a 18 minute later clarification and deflection on furtives behalf as well as a nice lil twist on what I've said so far.

A neighbourhood is a powerful tool for both town and scum. if you're both town as well thats even better as you can collab reads and build cases together, thats two voices acting as one.

Nancys been proven an amazing hydra partner many many times in the past, having a neighbourhood with her where I know shes town makes us stupid good.

Now for the twist, you're stating that I believe furtive not prioritising sorting you is scum-indicative.
I haven't said that, at all - though I can see the skimmed milk off hand comment being seen as such.
Where I started was curiosity about furtive seeming to take the team as a single entity, not two entities. Further digging gave the absence of you. No read on you, this seems odd to me so I decided to poke it. Where I stand at the moment is I'm still a bit sus that furtive seems to be secretive.

The word choice and flow is very very short and minimal. It betrays no information beyond simple answers. How I read people is in how they write.

You, for example are using short, chained statements. You also state something then either give a justification or an excuse for it. You're attempting to be dismissive of this and claiming there's reasons for both. You're using an active defence with indirect defences. Its interesting, and amusingly puts more sus on you from my side.

Wow I wonder what you're really subtly implying here...oh no if I infer anything from this then it reveals my very sus defensive pov how smart of you

Nancys been proven an amazing hydra partner many many times in the past, having a neighbourhood with her where I know shes town makes us stupid good.

To respond to this and Nancy's point about teams in this game, the strength of Masons as a role is not the PT, it's knowing each other are town, which will never be possible in this game no matter how strong the townread on your teammate is. Even taking Masons as an example, I can't think of many uses for a PT besides preserving reads across a night on which you die. Very limited uses.


Now for the twist, you're stating that I believe furtive not prioritising sorting you is scum-indicative.
I haven't said that, at all - though I can see the skimmed milk off hand comment being seen as such.

Wow Aisa that was sus to infer that Flea sussed me, when fae literally said it in and probably other posts, insanely sus


Where I started was curiosity about furtive
seeming to take the team as a single entity, not two entities
. Further digging gave the absence of you. No read on you, this seems odd to me so I decided to poke it. Where I stand at the moment is I'm still a bit sus that furtive seems to be secretive.

When did I do the bolded. Literally never did I take the team as a single entity. This is a complete cap. How was I meant to get a read on Aisa's initial posts? Did you? Our PT was practically empty.


The word choice and flow is very very short and minimal
. It betrays no information beyond simple answers. How I read people is in how they write.

I don't think this is true about my ISO in this game. Obviously this will be somewhat subjective, others are free to weigh in.

Weirdness: They sussed me after STD sussed me and Ceph. That's an associative. That's a decision. It was unexplained and still is.

I like this reaction from you. I could be wrong. I think I like Yume, STD and Mastina the best so far.

Have a read of STD's ISO in schadd's recent Large Normal. I think they could be a dark horse. Not really committed to a read on them yet.
