hi gypyx do you have thoughts on like anything that's happened
I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”

oh wait the hoopla numbers thing!! I agree it makes sense but I don't think I've ever been able to read hoopla for shit and she scares me so right now I'd say definitely don't lynch her because it seems pro town but I don't know if I can ever come to a conclusion on that slot

this last one in particular is, as i believe the kids are saying these days, A Mood.

do you think scum!laut is likely to struggle to make posts criticising the pace of the game & saying that he believes his own reads?

i suppose i'm wondering what about these posts made you go "ah this is town!laut", rather than just "ah, i agree with umlaut that this game is too fast". based on our prev. game together i feel like you're very capable of astute nuanced observations, which makes me a bit nervous that i'm not really following the path of your read here.
In post 660, iamausername wrote:i don't feel like i have a strong grasp on anyone's playstyle (even my own). but i have more of a grasp on Hoopla than most of the playerlist i guess.

i expect Hoopla to seem town regardless of alignment, but even bearing that in mind, i enjoyed 472 and 474 immensely and they also send good vibes out to me.
they were cool posts, for sure. that's my impression of Hoopla from a tone pov as well.
In post 660, iamausername wrote:i really liked the observation about Ico in 530. especially following on from 519, feels like an organic progression from "Ico seems scummy but i don't know why" --> *looks for reasons* --> "aha! a contradiction!", where i'd expect scum to jump straight to the last step if they saw something contradictory they could push. that pushes them into my townreads.
huh i like this a lot, actually
the tonal scumread on ico definitely felt like A Real Thought

Actually thinking about it, yeah, I really don't like the combination of "I haven't read closely and don't have any real reads yet" and "I just want to flip someone"
