Bit busy at the moment and should probably eat breakfast (my hands are a little bit shaky because my body is lacking in nutrients at the moment because I went to play mafia before eating anything), but the short version is, more or less:In post 1521, Infinity 324 wrote:I want you to talk about this when you get the chance as well, because I am very confused about what happened to your aero read. You townread him for what seemed like very little at the time then continuously moved him down giving no explanation when to me he even got townier. What?
I liked Aeronaut's entrance into the game. Really liked it. I tend to have reasonably decent earlygame reads, and have gotten good at reading content others dismiss as useless RVS stuff. Going into theory a bit, I prefer to keep my exact process hidden (it's my exact process), both for a combination of strategic reasons and because I fucking suck at explaining the concept which my brain processes this stuff as, but basically, in essence, the scum in a game tend to stick out during the RVS because they don't yet know how to blend in. When I call people scum, I'm noting people who don't blend in; when I call people town, I'm essentially noting those that did. And Aeronaut felt like he had. This is a MASSIVE oversimplification and undersells the importance of my process, but I'm in a rush to get food in me so I might give you a better explanation later.
This is why Aeronaut was an early strong townread; I felt he was not scum with the way he came into the game.
Then, he disappeared. I still defended him, but the defense felt wrong. Therein entering the doubt. I didn't share with everyone that I was feeling said doubt, but I was. I tried to write it off--I knew he was experiencing some sort of V/LA, so surely it was that.
And then, he posted his content.
And none of it was good.
None of it was even remotely what I was expecting from him as town. The very thing making you townread him is what makes me scumread him.
