Their opening (
32) seems pretty decent to me, their acclamation that a vote them was inducing anxiety is townie as it shows that he's not afraid to express negative thoughts/feelings about people "pushing" him. I'm cautious reading into anything else in this post as it insinuates a townie mindset but given how much he's posted proving he "knows his stuff" I'm sure this is extremely capable of being faked to a certain degree.
I inherently like
33 but I am unsure if that's much beyond having the same read on Kay that I do, the town-read on mine also feels good so I'm sure that's also influencing it. I don't usually like to look into the timing of posts but 7 minutes to write up this post when nothing happened between, and he acknowledged reading the thread is an interesting thing to note as he appears to be very headstrong, but this to me seems to hint he was waiting on people to start carrying the game beyond him which doesn't really fully line up to me.
At the time of reading
36 naturally, I did town-read this like most others (that I recall commenting on this) did but is this really saying much? Paired with the fact they were town-reading me for asking questions, and scum-reading Luka for asking questions. I don't really see how our questions are all that different, which I know is what they went to me and asked me later for but even reading this back I'm not sure I see this. Reserving judgement on Luka specifically is a weird line to draw, this is essentially saying "I don't think we should be reading Luka because what they did could come from either alignment" which is incredibly silly. I may update my thoughts on this as I read their ISO further, if so I'll try to refer back to this but if you use your noggin' you should be able to know what I'm referring to if I forget.
52 I really like how they're not taking the explicit shading from Luka here, although given what input they've shown this is likely to come from their character more than anything to do with their alignment but I do think Luka/Overcat aren't both wolves at the very least. (also writing this, I see a thread of reading me by my effort with overcat and now Eiralox, with Luka being the main push against that. If I remember I will do some more thinking about this interaction on its own soon, if I forget and you're reading this please remind me).
Their first point feels almost entirely like padding to make their argument seem stronger, there is no reasonable way he's attributing this read to town-read me, and scum-read Luka when I personally do not remember doing much with any question I've asked thus far in a public manner. I've internalised the responses but did not act upon them, yet he's using this argument to scum-read Luka. The second point I feel is what they actually have on Luka that they wanted padded, they say that X thing is scummy and that Y thing is townie. Their definition of what Y is was incredibly weak so I don't feel that Y was thought out
at all
and just wanted the comparison apparent, to push it. They also say that X can sometimes valid, but this time it isn't without clarifying why on either end of this. What he did do was give an excuse to not complete his thought by "this post is too long". I wish I had this view back when he was still in the game, because then I could have asked him to clarify further.
His confidence about a Luka vote in
73 seems to be a little misplaced as he's done many things to insinuate he could be wrong (not explicitly, but he's posted shit like "I normally dont vote and make decisions early on but I think this is mafia" and also making his point but adding a "sometimes this is valid reasoning", but this confidence does not seem to fit with that. He seems to be unintentionally showing his lack of confidence yet saying he is.
He also tried shutting down my Eiralox read in that same post (73) that they weren't showing emotional investment or taken a firm stance even though they shown and expressed a townread on Kay who inarguably is the exact same. I feel this is trying to control the gamestate more than genuine discourse between towns. He isn't using any arguments for anybody, Umlaut called this out (which immediately gives him huge townpoints).
122 I really want to know what type of questions they're considering one way or the other. Because reading this back now I do think I recall Luka acting more politician-like, especially given the question framed to Overcat that had the quotations in it. Felt like positioning more than a genuine question but I don't think Luka acted predominantly like that, I'll have to check when I get back through his ISO.
125 circles back to their post which I called out the comparison between Kay and Eiralox which actually voids that point of mine as this shows his standards is consistent which is a good +town.
I also like how they attempted to get on my level and make sure I understand where his read is coming from in
136 which I don't think scum would likely do with somebody who seemed to otherwise reject that part of their argument.
Generally, I feel this slot is town by the consistency and behaviour surrounding me in particular (disregarding GIF, who I am ISOing next). The one thing I actively dislike is them making some arguments without doing anything but flapping his mouth which i would like to add that Umlaut looks extremely good for catching and calling out in realtime which I will take note of, especially for if Overcat's slot flips red.
