It kind of just feels like Isis is just picking things at random and saying "this is town" or "she has done more than in this iso" when they're either just not true or like... Basically nothing? It's kind of frustrating because I can't disprove that a post is "pure" but at the same time it's a statement that does not mean anything.

And are you really saying that perhaps your strongest town read this game is based on basically "idk there's a handful of posts that feel 'pure'"

Like... Really?

Are you trolling? That iso is starkly different on my first glance.

do you think its more town there? if so, in what way
In that iso you are very clearly advocating for your worldview and interacting with people around what they think of the town core.

Almost all your posts in it are focused on it.

In fact, it's pretty much exactly what I would expect you to look like as town in the position you were in and is a case study in the kinds of things you weren't doing in this game.

You're townier here and fire knows that but he's scum so he's vague tweeting instead
"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"
"Well, I..."
"What? Nothing? You would make the prince suffer over... nothing?"

That is an impulsive and presumptive characterization of rudeness

It's like... Kind of crazy because there's so many things you can use to read someone in this game which don't exist in a normal game.

People's positioning on the coalition. People's advocacy for themselves and others. The way people approached what 2 people knew for sure was a losing coalition.

But Isis is choosing to use none of them and is instead saying sheep seems to be the scummiest if we ignore all of that and Tris feels townie if we ignore all of that but like... Why are we ignoring that? Why are we not looking at the single most readable things players are forced to do in this game?

There's a tiny extent to which anyone is reading someon wrong is slightly scummier but I can understand how you think tris is the best lim here from a town perspective

Are you really telling me that you read that iso and you thought that Tris did less in it to try to build a town core and advocate for her world view?

I simply do not believe you believe that.

i think this. i thought there was more. or maybe my brain is just glazing over posts rgiht now
that one was like fully a joke

although the posts after it were a different idea i was genuinely considering, although was proposing it lightly, i didn't really expect anyone to take it seriously

I just have vibes memories I didn't reread the iso all the way through
"Let us say that you are right and there are two worlds. How much, then, is this 'other world' worth to you? What do you have there that you do not have here? Money? Power? Something worth causing the prince so much pain for?'"

Tris why didn't you like the coalition? Who did you not like in it and why? Who do you think is likely why it failed? Who do you think is scum now outside of the coalition? Do you think it's more likely that there's 2 in the coalition or 1?

Fire and sheep don't pair well, maybe I should believe in my fire read more. It burns from a deeper place in my soul even if her car occupancy makes her mathematically less scummy
