Shelby can you elaborate in any way on the two reads you outed in your first post?In post 248, Uncle Shelby wrote:I don't see why a partner would even bother trying for damage control here, especially when the only other info T3 spewed was not partner-related. But both Resistance heads getting a town read off of that is... something. One of them even claimed they're not even seeing any slip.
I'm particularly interested in the read on my slot considering what had been generated so far. I'm also curious why if you started liking T3 if you had any hesitation about the genuineness of his "slip"-

I don't really have a read on morph the cat despite their volume of posts which is a little worrying
like there's an aggressive charisma there but a lot of the posts feel performative in a NAI way. I don't think the case on T3 is super indicative either way. at that point it is assumed T3 will be dead either way - which ever way T3 flips, piling on more actually makes morph look good because multiball
I like Echo's recent posts

mostly reading them by how they reacted to T3 / my wagon, but I'd Manatee's "pure" vibe actually feels to me more like staying out of the way and keeping with the as-lukewarm-takes-as-possible (hehe) - Lukewarm feels like he's trying to get into the game more aggressively, given his vote on me and subsequent immediate unvote, it's just surface level more awkward than manatee who feels like she's hanging backIn post 311, Echolocation wrote:

I've not played with Manatee but I got the "pure" vibe from them which like, yeah I know, but it works.
And Luke felt a little stilted on entrance as if he was like "hi I don't know what to say oh wow haha eight pages!" Which like, I expected more panic maybe or frustration given how Tarot went for him as in "oh god stuff is happening what did I miss this time do I get to even have a role." His posting after is better, though.-

my hypothesis is that it was the classic tale of realizing something didn't land quite the way you wanted it to, and then digging a deeper and deeper hole for yourself not by admitting you were wrong, but by trying to lay on the joke thickerIn post 314, Lukewarm wrote:idk, I think I would immediately read each individual one as a joke coming from T3, but seeing so many different ones coming all back to back seemed... different then the joking I expect from T3.
it's an awkward way to deal with it as either alignment - but I think if you do actually read everything T3 posted as a joke it comes out as net NAI and more indicative of not handling a social situation well-

@manatee, I'm just confused by your engagement with T3 because it feels like you were questioning them / trying to figure out ways they could've made the slip as town, but by the end of it you were just like, eh none of that matters I have to vote T3 anyway. enlighten me to some of your inner thought process? at the very least like what response you had to what you did get out of him, if anything-

Not a terrible list but remarkably safe. Yes I am going to scrutinize you a bit harder given what T3 did. Why is Morph so high up? Shouldn't they be a bit more lower relative to your own innocence? If I rep into a slot and I was just previously shitcanned I'd be wondering who were being opportunistic in my previous life's folly
I need to see more out of them beyond complaining about my slot-

It's going to take a lot, and I meana lotfor me to switch this read around. The problem is however is that Cabd's observation is nice, but it's not charming. That's yet to happen-

@uncle shelby I have full claimed
re: Kazyan
I would not be so quick to write off his AtE (however mild) as towny. I think #120 showcases that Kazyan is fairly intelligently concerned about his image (whether town or scum) and how people are reading him. I don't think his jump to "oh no dann is going to get away with it" is necessarily a fully genuine reaction. and based off my (albeit sample size of 1) experience with him, he's a lot more strategically minded than I think his posts this game let on
I don't think his reaction extreme reaction compared to the fact that I'm actually gaining votes?? is at all genuine and is instead designed to be towny-

I think scum is most likely among the slots that took a more neutral stance on me but continued to vote my slot. Slots that were like "welp scum slip I guess I have to vote" but were otherwise checked out, gives them plausible deniability no matter how I flip. You can't seriously be suspect someone for voting because of a perceived scum slip. and they get cred for easily hopping on the wagon if I were to flip scumIn post 591, Dannflor wrote:absolutely, someone who is scum/werewolf decided to defend me - unsure if it's the titus slot
so, I was looking at slots like manatee initially, although she's recently become more firm in her stance on this slot-

I don’t really know how to respond to this other than I’m not sure where this feeling is coming fromIn post 890, Celestial Powerhouse wrote:I think I've only seen one townread on us and that was dannflor.
and actually I thought the slot might be town before that.
I dont really like how "correct" dann's reads feel. they feel like they are "right" and Im not sure how to explain that feeling. they just fit in so well and I dont question them when typically I pick at people's reads lists.
admittedly I haven't read most of this game but it still felt unnatural and perfect in a way. articificial is a good word here.
-Mister Ocean
Isn’t there something paradoxical about saying I’m the only one town reading you and then questioning my reads as too perfect? What does that even mean in a multiball game
Normally I would think you’d mean I’m just sleeping consensus reads but clearly you don’t mean that exactly
Someone else did indeed say something along those lines earlier so I’m curious what part of my posts logically makes you feel this way or if you’re just posting these words for the sake of it-

what would be the scum motivation to point all of that out for me? and I specifically said that I dont know how to explain it. and what do you mean posting words for the sake of it? light shade isnt really going to get you anywhere given I'm already a universal scum read here.
I don't doubt you got that impression, whether from Lukewarm's post bleeding into your subconscious or just as some general impression from my post. But anyone can just spew the first impressions they get off posts, that's like my primary approach to scum - it often reads as towny because people read impressions and emotions as genuine. but town usually tries to dig deeper than that.
why exactly do you get that feeling, what is it? - push deeper. because right now posting stuff like "dann's reads feel too perfect" is just that, words
I don't think it's immediately scummy but I'm shading you to try and goad out your thought process a little more-
