However, does this mean we're in the part where we can start to scrutinize people and stuff? Because I want to ask Aragon the Ranger why he's named Aragorn the Ranger and not Strider the Ranger. See, he didn't really go by Aragorn when he was off acting like a ranger, did he? At least he didn't introduce himself as such. It was either understood by those who already knew, or kept a secret. So why, Aragorn the Ranger, are you trying to confuse us? Are you Strider the Ranger, or are you Aragorn, son of Arathorn, and heir to the throne of Gondor? What say you?!
Well, boring you atleast got that one right. It is a confusing name as far as the story is concerned. Albeit, pretty much till the end the fact that Aragorn was an heir to the throne of Gondor was unknown to most. Hence, being considered just a Ranger. Although, I gotta admit, Aragorn The Ranger sounds way better than Strider The Ranger.

Why do you think that?
I think early reads are just fine, provided you're willing to change them
It's good to be able to be fluid with your reads early on but it should all make sense
I thought that it would be best to keep a neutral stance on everyone until more posts have been made, as the game has pretty much just started. However you do make a valid point, that you should be willing to change them based on the responses people give over time.

It is for me a concern because the misunderstanding shows that he didn't really attempted to figure out Drixx's allignment when he read Drixx's post.

I hope this mistake you made doesn't stop you from pointing out others' mistake because it shouldn't.
In post 45, boring wrote:Why would you be trying to pit two people against each other so early on?
Why wouldn't I? I mean, how would it be a problem to Town? If the result is both of you scum read each other or town read each other, content will be made, with which we can figure both of your alignment better. Preferably you scum read each other. That way I'll have votes exactly where I want it to be.

Welp, your story checks out. Nothing to see here.

I suppose this illustrates a difference in personality. I naturally hesitate to lock into conclusions too quickly.
I'm a slow thinker (as if that wasn't obvious). I'm not calling myself stupid, I just mean that I need lots of information and time to mull things over before I can reach a conclusion that I'm comfortable with. I don't think there's much to read in anyone yet. We have 2 weeks for each "day", and this gives us time to season one another before we have to make a judgement call.
So no, I don't see why it would be worrisome for Ish to not scrutinize Drixx too deeply from the word go. But then again, you have a lot more experience than I do. Maybe I'll be singing another tune later on.

Hope you feel better soon.
If we were ten+ pages in, I could see why you'd mention reading up, but 3?

2 pages in and you already have two people you want to lynch?
Well, in all fairness, Hayato may just be having a knee-jerk reaction to people making early town-reads.
The only part that felt awkward for me was the sudden difference in tone. He seemed pretty serious, where as the town-reads felt more joking, or at least I didn't take them super seriously. I guess Ish was getting a little serious, but it seemed more like he was reading the same change in tone that I detected.

House, tell me if the bolded was the part you were referring to. It does seem like a weird thing to say.

Yes, and that's why I went back to post 42 which made me decide he's a good place to start.
