I can see why certain pairs, trusting each other, would rather put pressure on 2 other pairs to challenge, than add themselves to a small votepool by challenging.

It would be really cool if everyone could state a read on their hood partner with reasons.
She asked me to ask the question in my last post for her because she felt that Furtive was associating her with Cephrir and I find that suspicious. Sorry Em. <3
why you booing me I'm right
like, I was correct in my intuition that furtive was sussing me in connection to cephrir. How is it suspect that I correctly figured out how someone was reading me and opted to have someone else inquire into that topic?

Speaking of which,

What did you mean by this?
When Cephrir said that the Yume/Nancy exchange about the emoji was towny, that could have influenced my similar thinking
this is a total nothingburger response. I'll home in on my critique here: why and how does your scumread impacting your reads matter?
At the time that I wrote that, Cephrir was more of a null read, and quite frankly still is (or is at the moment). The suggestion that their read could have influenced mine was not based on the sometimes-used strategy of trusting a townread's reads, it was based on people's general tendency to be influenced by other people's ideas.

Thing for me is unless you can godread your buddy you should be solving them actively.

I cant godread Nancy, not yet :p but I feel im damned good at reading her still. A votepool of 4 is dangerous territory to be in, as you know, and best way to avoid that is to be able to read your buddy for better and for worse. To me this reads as you want to avoid being in that situation at all.

Would love to know your thinking on the challenge you suggested.

I felt like your solving at that time felt inorganic, mostly the bit about memes being scummy for some reason

Flea, is this a fair summary of your thoughts of furtive?

You note that furtive had talked a bit about everyone except me. This intrigued you because you think it is important to sort one's teammate. You also note that furtive expresses himself in short sentences, almost as if he didn't want to elaborate, both in general and specifically when question about his read on me.

One idea you are considering is that furtive and I are scum together.

You note that I assumed you thought furtive not trying to sort me was scum-indicative, though you never said so. I am defending furtive both actively and indirectly. There's also something about my posting style (that I don't completely understand). Think makes me a bit suspicious in your eyes.

----
Additionally, do you or do you not think that furtive not attempting to sort me (at the time this discussion started etc etc) is AI?

Yes, not yet but was and is an option for consideration at some point soon.

You made several assumptions which is NAI for someone who hasnt played with me oreviously. I am happy to give a better breakdown of your posting and how im reading it when im not on mobile.

aisa's defense comes off townie but it's curious that it was posted from a motivation standpoint. why not let furtive fight his own battles

Still curious. I contemplated letting this go but then realised I'd look like a fool if I asked a bunch of questions without others answering them and since my primary motivator in life is avoiding embarrassment at all costs, well
