I didn’t say you didnt point out an inconsistency.

I said you called him scum for something he hasn’t notably “passed” in thread yet and you didn’t know if he was going to comment on it.

It was after the post pinkball made(invisi’s post was) so until he has passed that point in thread you can’t assume that he won’t comment and that he’s scum for that.

Also, I pointed out the fact that the 2 scenarios are different.
Pinkball refuses any information/reads to give and invisible only didn’t fully explain one read.
Big difference there IMO


and I didn’t say guessing a motive
You assigned a motive to his posts, which is what I believe is shading.
That’s what I see, that’s what I think
Assigning a motive is literally what everyone who is trying to figure out this game is doing lmfao

#43: Because lynching the most useless player is a low effort vote. It’s an excuse to not discern alignment. Am I wrong here?

Why park my vote on a replacement when it can be used elsewhere? Come the hell on. In no way did I insinuate ofhrZ wasn’t scum by replacing our. Talk about assigning motivation to people christ

Point is, you haven’t tried to sort him.

And you had voted him and had him as a scumread before this post, so you can’t say “consistent”

If you have a “good handle on reading him” then why didn’t you try reading the posts he made and commenting on them?
Lol. Look at his ISO. I needed more. Dude.
So you had him as a scumlean but needed more to read him???

How does that make sense?

#49 Are you serious? I didn’t get an answer to my question and SA had posted since then. If anything I should be a townread for the follow up, in means I’m genuinely interested in the answer and not just trying to look busy

3. It’s still a disgusting post
“3. It’s still a disgusting post” means like nothing.

1, yes you could. And 2, I don’t think that’s the right terminology but that’s not a fruitful discussion.
It means that I scumread the post regardless of whether it’s SvS, TvS, or he’s pocketing you

Lean. Lean isn’t enough to lynch. I want a solid scumread. I mean if I’m 60/40 on him but think a pressure vote can make me 70/30 do I not go for it? Those numbers are arbitrary but help illustrate the point I’m making.

Ugh I think you might be town just based off your analysis but I feel like you took your read of me on page 1 and confbiased the hell out of it. Some of these points are straight up nonsensical, particularly 49. In no world should digging for info after you don’t feel like you’ve gotten enough be scumread.

Ok maybe that’s a bit much yes, but I still think you wait until it’s obvious he doesn’t respond, then ask.

Cause there’s a good possiblity he just didn’t reach that point in thread and was still catching up.

But I see it’s not really scummy so point dropped

43 I’m having trouble putting this one into words but I don’t like this post. It feels just… off to me? It almost feels a little like shade, saying that “your vote it stupid and really took no effort and this is why it was trash

#58 and #59 seemed a bit rushed and out of place. It was a very weak read. I think later in the game I say I’m more confident on town than scum reads.

Some of my pints might be single-sided becuase I’m trying to catchup and get back into the present so I can form some real-time reads, so I might have missed some perspective.
This is why I actually like stuff like this(the back-and-forth) Becuase it helps point out where I’m being a dumb fuck and makes me give more educated reads.

So I actually am okay with some of the ofhrZ stuff. I’m playing closer to the cuff than I usually do and that’s on me. If I eat the rope, I’ve learned that playstyle isn’t my look.

But a lot of this peripheral stuff just feels like you wanted to add stuff to the case on me which I actually get if you’re trying to push a lynch but so much of it seems just... superfluous. Like even benign posts were assigned this inflated meaning.

Why do you feel it’s out of place to question a naked vote and to call invisible town?

And is rushed neccesarily scummy, or is rushed short on time??

It’s understandable its a weak read, but why did you not give anything for people to go on? Bringing that up earlier would have been fine, and given reasons you actually think ohfhrz is scum instead of seemingly naked pushing him.

I don’t know! I feel the same way and had the same thought about time. Obviously time isn’t AI.

I didn’t want to show my hand until he posted more. I think that’s fairly reasonable.

Also in game activity was super low at that point. I figured a move like that might get people stirred up.

I suppose it did. Just with a delay.

Anyway I really like real time talks, I think they’re kind of special in terms of getting reads.

But I have to sleep, so, just drop any other questions you have for me.
