I don't want to go into super details about reads though because I only like to start talking about a read when I have some degree of confidence on it
before that it's all really jingling in my head and I don't want to go back on something I said four times in a row
but like, from a more objective pov I would say it's worth noting that he's putting more effort than usual?
It's Team Mafia though, I feel like trying to do better than what you usually do is a common feeling-

It's page 4 and he throws a big read listIn post 82, Farkran wrote:Hi everyone, i'm the king of readlists
I don't think gif is powerscumming already so he may be town for now
Early A50 posts are scum standard, don't like them at all
Don't like chennisden introduction
Don't like maria introduction but less so than chen's
Like volxen
I think i like anka reactions
Kuribo is gut town
My neighborhood looks town so far
Everyone else null
VOTE: a50
Do you think normal uninformed reaction here is to be "mmm ok" with it?
Have you ever played with Fark before? What's your take on heavy logical players?-

Hmm, I really think I could push this more but for now I'm gonna let it go
This playerlist is really hard on me to be fair, I'm not particularly good on reading anyone but I would say I really suck the most in reading most of this playerlist's playstyles
I'm not closing the book on that exchange about fark though, I'm just gonna leave it open like that to a later return
You really couldn't be more generic in your descriptions about what you liked about his post though. I've gotta to say that.-

You've watched me solve that normal 2106 in the dead thread, didn't you?In post 134, Farkran wrote:@volpe generally speaking i understand your concerns but surely you must have some thoughts about anka now, if not about him directly, you should have noticed some people revolving around him
From your posts i get that you're trying to give your direction to the game and that is NAI - not being trustful of other players fits either with a paranoid town mindset or a scum looking for a broad lynchpool
Which one are you?
Do you think you need to ask what kind of player I'm? Do you really have no speculations of your own?-

Last post because I'm getting back to work
I did answer you on ank/vex though so I'm not sure what I'm dodging. It may look like I'm dodging since I throw a curve ball back but I think I more or less answered most things?
Anyway I'm just slow to give reads because I like the reads to be grounded, so I'm careful about what I say. I also think that most posts in a mafia game are a bit useless because I get my reads from 2 or 3 posts each person have that in my head I go "This really comes more often than town" or "This comes more often from scum".
I'm mostly looking around and waiting everyone to post enough to find meaningful posts for everyone or something-

I didn't have an opinion in ank in the moment of that post. It's as simply as that.In post 146, Farkran wrote:

I'd mostly like to hear your read of anka - or why you aren't interested in their posts given that you said you skimmed them.
I mean, i'm trying to build a profile of people around me because i literally haven't played with anyone in this plist, i just vaguely know some people from minor interactions like gif modding me or you posting stuff in that dead chat
As for why I didn't pay attention to her posts, it's the wrong question/mindset. Fact is that I didn't pay attention to most people posts in early game, I can barely remember one or two other than the ones that struck me out like your opening post with a read list.
Right now I still don't have an opinion on ank by herself but I do already have opinions about her slot/alignment, if that makes any sense.
I'm mostly playing with ideas right now.-

I...forgot to exclude farkran as well to be fair (I also hesitant'ing at the moment) but hmm, ok, the day is still young.
VOTE: Fark
Farkran what would you contribute to this masonhood if we were to add you up as well?
Note that we're a secret society therefore an invite means quite a lot. You should think your answer thoroughly.-

Ok Elem it's official now, you might be the best girl in this game. I think you're really too far now in the competition to anyone catch up.
Hmm, so I read Espresso's ISO and...
uhhh
I'm gonna let myself have some snack, I'll choose fun over doing the extremely optimal thing right now. I'll maybe do some town reads that might change due to how weak they are compared to what I had in mind (I feel like this game is really just too slow for me to be an active spectator).
[Volpe] - town
[Elements] - likely town
[Fark???, Espresso?] - nulltown
[most people] - null
[big secret] - nullscum-

I used to think the same but experience told me otherwise.In post 285, davesaz wrote:@volpe I don't think keeping scumreads secret is at all helpful to town.
I have some considerable amount of stories where I get things right in D1, talk about it and get sidetracked. People attention span is too short, and also before you begin accusing someone you probably should gather up enough evidence to push all way through. if you tell scum why you're scum reading them too early they just will fix the mistakes?
I do understand it hurts the readability of my slot though so I'm compromising on sharing my town reads right now.
It's not gonna take a lot of time for me to talk about SRs but the day is still pretty young.-

I think I've been somewhat transparently trying not to dominate the game by not talking about my reads to not bias other people input on them/hurt general game development.
I'm not sure what you're talking about Flavor, but honestly I don't get what you were talking about Chennis trying to "swing you over" either so it may not be something wrong on my side.-

If I wanted to be town leader I would have not given up in leading discussions and would keep pushing Vex or Fark even if it would bias other people into their reads on those slots
I did the opposite of that. If you want to give me a scum read I recommend to at least pay attention to what I'm doing and understand that I would be trying to go for shadow agent and not town leader here.-

I'm like...being quite harsh on my tone with you here but it's because I know as fact that you're just distracting this from a more useful direction so I want to rebut you as fast as possible and I in fact don't think your argument is reasonable here. not like scum reading me here is completely unreasonable but that's not really what I would call a valid reason...-

You're talking about me trying to actively form a town block?In post 344, Flavor Leaf wrote:I don’t think a leader needs to be the one saying the most, the leader needs to be the one setup to have the people follow them when they do speak.
I don't think that's something specific of my scum game. I did it in C9 in a meme tone, and I did ally people up in Baton Pass but it was a lot more subtly/give-and-take.
Here I'm really just trying to form a block of townies that will stick together and vote together to maximize wagon'ing efficiency. I even said in the past it's something I would like to do as town anyway?
Then like, what in my play itself and not in me forming a block of people do you dislike if anything?-

Why it's running in circles with Fark/Chennis?In post 347, Flavor Leaf wrote:It’s Page 14, I think it’s incredibly valuable discussion. Much more than running around in circles with Fakran and Chennis.
I feel right now that you are scum who doesn’t like, or even think there is, a case on them, and granted, I very much realize I need more, and I could be wrong. Again, it’s page 14, but by no means is that not an avenue that I want to just ignore.
We barely started talking about Chennis in more depth.-

You're being a ditzy again to be fair.In post 350, Flavor Leaf wrote:I actually made the push before you were trying to town block, or if you did the town block before, you ninja’d me.
I think it was clear I was trying to form a town block when I talked about masonhood with Fark/Elems way before you said anything on me?
Actually, the fact you don't realize makes me think you didn't really read my ISO?-

Flavor I don't want to use past examples because it's an extremely cheap thing to do since this is a different game, but one of the reasons that I'm pushing back against this vehemently is because in Mini Normal Colors, while I was pushing Oka (actual scum), you came around barely having read the game and began pushing me which distracted from the oka wagon that could actually have turned around the game if it had happened at that day.
From what I've seen in your arguments, I don't think you've read the game thoroughly and is just grasping at straws, what is fine for early game, but I really think that in a slow game like this I would rather not waste day time with this push. I really think it's an objectively bad push right now (and you aren't exactly showing me wrong here?).
I feel it's an important waste of time/energy especially in a more lurky playerlist like this one.-
