Can you give some thoughts on the setup or some reads?

re: reads, initial feelings say:
towny: Cheetory, mastina, UT, MoI, Spiffeh
scummy: Nukebringer, GiF, Cephrir
conflicting feelings: RC, LLD, Nahdia

what's your point? obviously it wasn't intended to produce reactions. that doesn't mean I can't look at the reactions it did produce.In post 412, Accountant wrote:

I mean, at the time of that post all those reads were essentially gut.In post 456, Cephrir wrote:imo forced is basically a word that means gut but sounds more substantial even though its not
it's not wrong just unhelpful
Ceph just pinged me with the way he talked about the setup spec and then said a bunch of not-game-related stuff, it kinda felt like he was trying to hide behind those things and not interact. I also didn't like his "How could anyone fail to catch that?" in 137 because it's egging on the people who are pushing me for it while not explicitly getting involved in it himself.In post 424, Cheetory6 wrote:More words on Ceph/Nukebringer reads please.
Also, was your opening a literal reaction test or not? Were you like "har har I'm gonna get these scums with this" or were you like "oh people reacted to my opening I'm gonna analyze that I guess"?
With Nukebringer, I hate to use the word "forced" again, but at least in this case it means a little more than pure gut, because it feels like Firebringer is trying to imitate his town self and failing.
I'm sorry lol I just wanted to know why you think that scum couldn't make 26. Clearly most people disagree with you.In post 432, xRECKONERx wrote:

This is a scum action... why? "Discussion tabled" means I am going to discuss him later.refusing to commit to a read on Reck who called him solid Town for bad reasons
ok now he's scumreading me because my pregame reads are not up to par with his standardsa list of “scummy” people which makes no sense.
Way to beg the question. The simpler explanation for those reads is that I was genuinely conflicted, and you're assuming that I'm scum in trying to prove that I'm scum.Also fence-sitting on three players which I think I probably where his Communist partner are.
And more attacking me because my reads aren't as good as his.Also 407 is laughable as reasons to scum read GIF (OMGUS and the ever dreaded “forced” which is the New Hotness Buzzword for the Commies).-

Okay. Point taken.In post 476, MagnaofIllusion wrote:So I've highlighted the part which shows that people no longer need to vote simply show up to move to Defcon 4. Which shows that SS's "For" vote was pointless since he had already posted.
So Something Smart - are you not reading fully?
That doesn't make your argument make any more sense; the vote is indicative of nothing more than that I read the rules and didn't see that the rules had changed.-

Answer to your question is the latter (it wasn't intended as a reaction test per se) but I was curious as to how people would respond to it.
and also RC/GiF are you suggesting that low hanging fruit = scum? because it sounds like you're saying I'm scum for the same reasons you're saying I'm low hanging fruit while calling being low hanging fruit not indicative of alignment. (That made more sense in my head.)-

This is bull. If I wanted to pass it off as a reaction test, I'd be calling it a reaction test. Show where my apparently subtle attempt to do so "failed", and why I couldn't have just said it was if I wanted to backtrack.In post 704, GuyInFreezer wrote:I mean, this whole thing matches up nicely.
He screws up with #26, people gives him flak, he tries to pass that off as reaction test.
Fails, so he backtracks.
Like, it matches up wayyyyyy to nicely to be considered as just a possibility. The timing and everything.
And 409, while true, was not my actual answer to question. The point of 409 was to say that you can analyze reactions to any post, not just ones that are designed to generate reactions.In post 712, Cephrir wrote:
Slayers gambit!!!!!!In post 694, GuyInFreezer wrote:There's this #4 too but it's kinda personal thing.
I enjoy reaction testing a lot in the most perverted (No, not sexually perverted) way possible, but I can't seem to find the purpose of reaction testing with stuff like #26.
Like, if he was actually reaction testing with that post, what exactly was he trying to fish and what kind of reaction was he looking for while doing that?
Goddammit this confused me so badly. Not cool.In post 766, GuyInFreezer wrote:
Yeah I agree.In post 750, Fate wrote:GiF is straight town at this point
Hopefully there are some seasoned commies to nuke
I asked him a question, and wanted to wait until he answered it. (He still hasn't fully answered it, but he kind of dropped what he was pushing anyway.)In post 767, MagnaofIllusion wrote:Sure it can mean that. For certain my scum read on you isn’t “Bet the game on it” level of confidence. Fact remains the way you specifically hedge from making any sort of assessment at all struck me as suspect on initial read.
Oh, I see. So it's not that my reads don't agree with yours, it's that I gave them at all, upon being asked, even though they weren't that strong. (Because I never have solid reads early day 1, and this wasn't even day 1.)Nope. What is off about them is, as you later clarify, are all vague “gut” reads that have nothing other than “I don’t like it” about them. Given that my reads don’t line up with yours and your reasoning is “gut” the first place my mind goes is scum faking reads.
Well you're at least making it look like evidence by pointing it out in the midst of an argument that I'm scum.Nope. I’m pointing out that out for future analysis if you ever flip scum. Kind of absurd for you to claim I’m using that to “prove” you are scum.-

(and besides I said I didn't have ENOUGH strong reads then. I have a few more now.)
at least I'm not trying to make it look like I am explaining. Ircher's explanation was that much worse because it masqueraded as an explanation but was in fact absolutely nothing.In post 1152, Cephrir wrote:

I kinda like Spiff but not as sure on that one
not gonna touch this LLD-Sir Arthur Danish conflict, yet anyway
Kinda don't like McMenno and MoI
Really don't like Nukebringer and Ircher and Vaxkiller
also if anyone wants I can explain stuff but please don't ask me to explain all of it because I don't have that kind of time nor patience-

I've been slammed lately, but I'm off work Wednesday-Sunday so I'll go back tonight and see what I've missed or skimmed. Off the top of my head though, I'm unsure why SS is getting a pass going into D1 considering that he hasn't done anything that made his first post(s) in the game less awful and his vote on my wagon was opportunistic and scummy as shit. mastina is still terrible and nukeworthy. Grey is town as fk. not a huge fan of Cheet's post right before this. Accountant is town.

I form reads by reading what the person says and taking a lot of small things into account. But I can't take notes because it would disrupt my thoughts and I don't have a god memory, so it's a pain for me to explain reads.In post 1934, Spiffeh wrote:Because there's no reason you shouldn't be able to actively share your thoughts on the game instead of deflecting to "well no one asked" when called out on your lack of contribution
Regardless of your alignment (which I think is scum anyway), anyone who refuses to do anything should be nuked so we can actually have a chance at PoEing
I'm not going to explain 20 reads if people only care about 5 of them anyway. I don't have the time nor the patience.
By the same token, the fewer people left in the game, the more initiative I can take in explaining stuff. In other words my content level will increase as the game goes on.
It's bad because he's calling me scum. Particularly, he's fixating on my first post and just writing all the others off as not influential to change his read based on that. He "still" wants me to die as if I've been his strongest scumread all game; for that to be true he had to have been hardly reading anything.In post 1936, Cheetory6 wrote:

Ircher because his readlists contained numerous strange reads with weak or basically nonexistent reasoning (Cheetory, SpyreX, mastina, Cephrir, Reck, and me in particular).
Nukebringer because gut. Well, more than that, it seems like Firebringer is trying to imitate his town play and not doing a very good job of it.-

So I'm assuming that he can't honestly believe in a read that's based on not reading the thread. If that assumption is incorrect then we have a different problem entirely.

No but several other people have done things that are overtly scummy. (And I do think some of my posts have been reasonably good, especially if you read into them as shallowly as UT read into 26.)In post 1952, Cheetory6 wrote:

Why would someone who's been reading the game not be able to have you as their strongest scumread? Do you think you've done something that makes it clear that you're town?-

I don't buy it.-

...really? that's the best you can come up with? i argued with your logic so you're just gonna call it ~discrediting~ and move on
nice buzzword i guess??
I can't really argue with 1971. If you actually think that his read on me is legit, then I guess you can keep thinking that. But I really feel like it isn't.
And you're being hypocritical, too; you're saying I can't scumread UT for having a read that he can't back up well, while scumreading me for having a read that I can't back up well.-

She took her good old time responding to requests asking for the specific order (which it already was) and I have no complaints about that now.

I very specifically put in literally EVERY troop, in an order of most to least.
Given how many troops there were, I shoulda gotten at least ONE of them, especially since I figured...well.
Yaknow.
You'd be a bunch of nuke-happy gun-toting 'MURICANS.
Apparently not!
No Espionage. No Battleship. No Eavesdrop. No Aircraft Carrier. No Air Base. No Radar. No Dead Hand (my name for the failsafe). No Submarine. No Covert Ops Team. No Strategic Missile Defense. No Fighter. No Fallout Shelter. No Counterintelligence.
Literally EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. Of them got picked. By someone in the game.
Because if so much as ONE of them had been left unpicked, I should have gotten something!
Ircher/Cheetory/Gif likely town
1. "good old time" = 18 minutes?
2. "perfectly acceptable for town to just go for the nuke" implies "unacceptable for town to not go for the nuke"?-

I don't think having me as a top scumread sincerely is impossible. I think doing so without having read the game, especially over one post that's not even alignment indicative for me, is basically impossible. And it fits perfectly with his vibe of BSing everything else, except that he's trying to pass it off as serious.
You and Ircher, while both being very wrong, have at least read the game, and so I could potentially buy the possibility of either of you being town.-

I don't buy it.
and it's manipulative too, though it doesn't seem like that was intentional.
He's scum because what he said is faked. The reason it's faked is that he seems very convinced that I'm scum despite self-admittedly having not read. Him having me as his strongest scumread means that he either has a clue what's going on or he's making up crap, and it's obvious that he doesn't have a clue, so therefore he's making up crap.-

yes. I don't have the patience nor the concentration.In post 2248, MagnaofIllusion wrote:
So you form reads by taking many small details into account. And you have a not so godlike memory so it is hard to explain it.

But I can't take notes because it would disrupt my thoughts and I don't have a god memory, so it's a pain for me to explain reads.
This so can die …
and also I don't think it would make much of a difference because when I do explain my reads in depth people usually just ignore them anyway.
so I usually just focus on figuring things out for myself, and if other people don't agree, sucks to be them. (not a terribly team-minded approach, I realize. but I've been unable to invest enough time and focus into the game recently because of other stuff, so I'm due for a break anyway.)
ok bro

What are your thoughts on the posts not by Firebringer? (Hint: He's the nice head.) Also, what are your thoughts on the following: Lady Lambdadelta, Ser Arthur Dayne, MagnaofIllusion, RedCoyote, hiplop, mastina?In post 1941, Something_Smart wrote:Vaxkiller because he tried to defend Ircher's post by accusing me of a misrep while making a misrep himself, he tried to appeal to people defending him, and his tone is very stilted and doesn't feel like town under unjust pressure.
Ircher because his readlists contained numerous strange reads with weak or basically nonexistent reasoning (Cheetory, SpyreX, mastina, Cephrir, Reck, and me in particular).
Nukebringer because gut. Well, more than that, it seems like Firebringer is trying to imitate his town play and not doing a very good job of it.
I doubt I can read LLD well at all, but her posts seem solid. I'm also okay sheeping the majority on this, since most people I think know her better than me.
Sir Danish is pretty obv town.
MoI is icky and I don't know if he believes his pushes. Will look more into that later.
Haven't really been paying much attention to RC's posts, offhand I can't see anything wrong about him.
Does hiplop even have content?
IMO most of the crap mastina's been pulling is towny though I'd admit that she seems like someone with whom experience is very helpful.
