I’m actually surprised by Ari’s strongly different reaction because he hasn’t said too much about it in our Discord chat. That said, I 100% agree with AC’s view on that.In post 232, Almost Chara wrote:

for players like me, who already get easily confused when playing games due to genuine memory issues, i often can't tell who's posting anyway, or i need to expend effort to do so. it matters less if Nancy is signing every single time, and you aren't, but it takes so little effort to just do.
it means that instead of seeing the post and knowing it's you, i now i have to go and make sure it isn't just Nancy changing her mind, and i also have to remember that Nancy made the point about disliking it at all. that sounds easy, but it isn't, for me.

With a post like that where they name drop their hydra partner it’s pretty easy to tell, though. Unless they were being extremely weird and speaking about themselves in 3rd person.In post 232, Almost Chara wrote:

Hi Taly,
Would you kindly talk to me about your varsoon read (or any read you have other than Shoshin the worst)
@Grecian philosopher: I guess you have a point, if it was from a hydra that was signing seriously I’d really have a problem but since they’re already taking the piss here it’s understandable, not that I like it any more.

Can I not disagree with you on this? All last game, I was wracking my brain, trying to figure out why very little of Shoshin’s play made any sense, based on what I know of her meta and with just a few posts, I feel better about them here, then I ever did once in that entire game, because Shoshin’s play, she they stopped being a smartass, is reminding me of what I remember from Labrynth - something that never happened even once in Starcraft 1.In post 265, Varsoon wrote:I don't have an informed read on Taly yet. Leaning more town there than not right now. Wish Shoshin wouldn't dodge responsibility for their read there, wish you wouldn't consistently chainsaw the slot either, Mephisto.
@Mewtaph: Why would it be entertaining if NotChara crumbed that?
So, if they keep this up and don’t replicate any of the weird shit they did last game, I’ll continue to tr them.

That said, I still am not a fan of their synchronized reads thing but you have to base your read oncontentand can’t you see how it’s very different from last game?ShowHydra of Aristophanes and Nancy Drew 39

PEdit: I’m assuming that’s Shoshin asking me that since I’ve played with tw a lot recently. Idk about U2, I’ll figure it out and post it in a full readlist later most likely.
Also, if tw and U2 form a hydra it should be called Detroit Become Human.-

Yeah, Taly's town.
Alchemist is town.
Need to sort:
Kokichi, who should be more present and who's IC claim only makes sense one way that I can figure
Pint, who seems to really be slipping under the radar.
I'm still good for a STW lynch, all that said.
@Mephisto: Keep in mind that Shoshin was 3P that actually had to scumhunt in Starcraft 1, whereas here Shoshin would just be hard scum having to fake scumreads.-
