I'm not very good at questioning folks (I wasn't before, and I'm quite out of practice). I'll join in if someone helps, but I'm no good at leading it myself.In post 851, Tammy wrote:So, Diamond Sentinel is there a particular reason you're not interacting with or questioning the people you suspect?

When I posted that comment, it was specifically in response to 221 which readhorribly
Continuing down to things that I don't like about Cabd's iso. 677 reads terribly, as mod meta isnevera reason to discount a role being in the game, to say nothing of how counter-productive set-up speculation is (this is almost a universal scumread in my eyes).
789 also reads similarly to 221, although to a different extent. They both read desperate for approval, but this time of varying accounts.
795 makes me want to vote them just out of principle. 805 is the same way.
817 is the only post that reads remotely town in that iso (everything else is null at best), but damn if it doesn't make me want to vote themagainout of principle.“Why was I chosen?'

It's begging for you to agree with them, or at the very least grant his reads merit. In my experience, it's been a horrible scum-tell, where a player asking for someone to validate their reads is just trying make them seem legitimate.“Why was I chosen?'

This wasn't asking for validation though?

I mean, you kinda are. Like, probably the second lowest hanging fruit in this thread besides Jake, but I genuinely think that Jake should be lynched in spite of being LHF.“Why was I chosen?'

You're right that's a horrible scum tell! About as bad as the "I'll pick back up at post #" scum tell.
Why can't it be him reading me by my reaction to his reads or him trying to gauge where my head it at to see if we're on the same page? Why can't it be two people working together?
The rest of the things you pointed out look like you're scum reading personality or play style rather than things that are actually scummy. And maybe you got fixated on the things you did because someone asked you about the group of us.
On the one hand, I kinda like it because sometimes people get squicked when they don't understand the friend dynamics and how people interact who've played a lot together and are friends in real life. On the other, I'm wondering if you realize you're reading personalities as scum rather than behavior.

i have seen it said offsite that listing names in the "w, x, y, or maybe z" is scummy, though. don't have enough experience to go "yeah this is scum" but i'm raising an eyebrow at the format here (does remind me of a Titus-Saber post though)In post 845, DiamondSentinel wrote:Can we get some coverage on Jake? I still feel pretty good about my vote on him. Others I'd be interested in voting include peta, cabd, and maybe Syr.
Bell's response really doesn't make me feel any better about them, but I'm not really sure what else we'd get out of it.

It's not just about what people say, but why do they say it? And specifically, why do they say it how they say it? Instead of saying "what do you think of my reads", why did they not say "what reads do you have on X, Y, and Z people?" The former has an inherent assertion that the reads have merit of their own, and it's a clever way to normalize someone's opinions.
PEdit: So a couple things.
I do know Cabd's personality, and it's not just personality that I'm reading. I've glanced at some of his recent games and this behavior is a bit off compared to those.
Additionally, at this point (this early in the game), working together should always be viewed with scrutiny. Even if they're metabuddies, any amount of immediate comradery should be viewed under the microscope.
And finally, Ihavelooked at that possibility that he is trying to read your reaction, and I just don't find that credible. It doesn't hold much water. Anyone can react to someone's reads. It's, in my experience, one of the weaker types of ways to read people.“Why was I chosen?'
