The one game I've been in with both of you that I remember extensively (X-men) she nailed the shit out of your slot
and I observed enough there to realize that she has a history of trying to sort you early
Also I find it hard to believe that the real answer to Titus' question wasn't "I just missed/forgot about it" instead of this meditated thought process culminating in ignoring her and this whole exchange looks like trying to keep Titus at arm's length
This push supposes that Titus can read Marquis extensively without being to tell both heads apart, which is a bit strange to me (especially when Bork doesn't pretend to have that same proficiency but can tell the two apart easily enough). It's also suggesting that Marquis was so afraid of being read by Titus that he didn't sign and refused to make it clear which head was posting, which is a strange line of reasoning to say the least.
In post 752, The Random Encounter wrote:I was townreading yakko, maybe snarky, weak townread on Titus/whoever the other person in her hydra is not really for content but for sheer force of will so far
courier initially rubbed me the wrong way but I like Marquis responses to me; keeping null until I see stuff from pie
I see Spiffeh engaging with others about me but I'm not sure why unless he's townreading them and scumreading me (or is suspicious of me) - engaging with me should be job #1 for sorting me - I don't really have a read here but I find the approach a little unnecessarily oblique
Looking at minami, DS...ika?
Early reads were townreads on Yakko, Snarky, Titus. Scumreads on Minami, DS, Ika.
I find these problematic because all of them are so shallow; yakko is town for a response to a read, snarky is town for saying two people were buddying, titus is town for "sheer force of will" (what?), Minami is scum because she said Wisdom was spamming, DS is scum because he tried to take a stance but didn't and agreed with Titus when Titus didn't have a plan (what?), Ika is scum because he was reading Titus as scum for no reason, and I find it problematic because a majority of Bork's reads have to do with engagement and there's none of that in these reads, just dropping observations and vanishing. Contrast this with his early game in
this game, where his style was more driving a lynch on a suspect until he got a better read from them and then moving on.

Their scumreads are Wisdom/Stairway/Imperium (which I'm not a fan of at face value because that's a list of 3 people I am not scumreading, 2 of which I am p solidly townreading, although the Imperium read for me is hovering maybe just north of null after Tammy's 'hey guys shut the fuck up' wall) but also I see no real attempt to explain any of those reads at the point they are declared or anywhere around there in their ISO (I got to 1173 and it looks like they're trying to explain reads there so I'll deal with that in a separate post after I read it
@Tammy: if you're around and wanna talk, let's talk

This is also the extent of bork's push on numbers, which is not really great, and soft in a way that really, really doesn't seem like Bork-town. Bork didn't interact with the numbers slot in any way whatsoever and the numbers slot never really interacted with him, which doesn't really seem that great to me either.
In post 1361, The Random Encounter wrote:I'm not interested in lynching Titus at all; if she is what I think she is she's probably not scum (this is just a role I can see going more to town than to scum). I think.
And this is such a lame, lame reason for townreading Titus (especially considering mod has described how roles were generated in this game and this is completely wrong); I think if Bork was town, he'd see why Titus was town a little more clearly/would be more interested in actually forming a read on her here. I think he's townreading her because she's not getting lynched this game and that's that.
Bork's push on Minami was terrible when the slot was obviously town and pushing them required ignoring a bunch of town signals so he could pick up on the bad logic pieces.

I hate how he abandons all of his lead from yesterday just to sheep Spiffeh; again, this isn't how bork has ever played as town and I really, really don't like him following the Spiffeh reason and being completely uninterested in forming a read of his own or reading through again to see if his earlier feelings were right/wrong.
In post 2299, The Random Encounter wrote:I've actually reread a bit since: do you think the manner in which Marquis posted 2077 comes from scum? He realizes the potential negative utility of the role, and instead of fucking around or worse, having his scum receiver buddies just target him indefinitely without ever claiming, he does that
And this is a terrible reason to townread someone for reasons I've explained already.
