I was kinda balking at seeing myself listed as "is pinging me" followed by "underwhelming," but then came to mind when asked

But this is a reasonable enough explanation, and looking back it after you said this, it kind of tracks with the greater context of the post where you called me underwhelming


Yeah was kind of a combo of answering crab's question and also sharing ~other reads and thoughts i had while rereading, one of which was having come acrosss 1019 and realizing i liked it

@spiffeh thanks, I'm having similar thoughts on Firebringer, i think he said somewhere he was getting sick so wondering if him being meh is just a byprouct of that, but he is missing a lot of the ~oomph i'd expect from fire

You're strongly townreading morph, right?

Reading actiondan's iso actually left me leaning town,
which is not exactly what I expected going in.


While i dont agree i think the ending part is something you dont specifically have to tack on so it seems townie imo.

I also think that his insistence that a miller absolutely does not make any sense in the setup is the thing that really said town to me. It rings as a True Thought to me.


This specifically too. Idk why tho.

Looking back, seeing them mess up the hood-scum reward in 344 feels like a townslip.

+ thought
Also something i didnt even notice happened.

Firebagel read has good substance, ive seen srs on them earlier but i never like actually understood.

The tr on spiffey is also good. I did not think instant hoodclaim after mine was a good reason to tr them but the more i think about it!!

Yes, primarily because of ffery’s interaction with Luke earlier on and that their dethy realization and surrounding discussion sounded like uninformed Town eager to figure out the best way to move forward given that information

Facepalm.

That explains the nuance about "more complicated than that"
Why was this?
This is a neuterhalf post, but I'll answer it. He can correct me if I have the nuance wrong.

The post explains a lot about her posting prior to that point, and also illuminates the undercurrents that had shown up among other hood members, particularly Action Dan and Sunflower. Our reaction to it was that scum-Marci wouldn't have been such an artless mess about her hoodmates and her role during the early hours of the game.

Inno child wasn't much of an exaggeration, but after seeing more from other players she's not in our top tier townreads atm.

I feel like you are approaching this with a lens of what it means for my alignment, when I am actually asking you to tell me if they have swayed your reads to agree with me, or if you disagree with any of them and why

I guess the most spicy one is Firebringer (pun intended)?

People are also townreading Brian more based off his recent posts. I remain unimpressed.

Are your emojis implying that you are concerned my scum reads are too easy?

I read it last night, but was on a posting embargo with Neuterhalf.

Still mulling some of it over. Will probably have questions later.

I'm sad AD replaced out.

I'm just waiting for someone to come tell me that one (or more!) of my assessments is bad, dumb, or wrong (and why!)

But no one has.

Maybe I did this to myself by using spoiler tags.

I don't agree on a couple of your reads, which should be obvious. Those are the ones I'm mulling. Do you need me to prioritize getting back to you on it? I was going to wait until we have a chance to sync on new data first.

Yeah, after I put it out, I looked back at your reads list and realized that our reads were opposite on all 4.

Firebagel being the only one I called scum, which firebagel is the only one you put above the dividing line.

That is part of why I am interesting in seeing your PoV

But I can wait for you guys to synch.

firebagel has a lack of self-consciousness that makes her town

i think she's trying to figure people out in her own way and there's nothing in her posts that I see as trying to show off that she's sorting people

like she's just popping in and giving thoughts about what interests her and I think the things she's choosing to pick at are townie things

there's no sense of agenda like she's trying to build associations or push a particular lim or make herself look townie

she's just off doing her thing
