About Bell, he seems to be playing this game similarly to me in this game to some extent. There's a lot of questions directed at others in his ISO, and he even admitted that it was about the journey and not the destination. I can sorta sympathize with that sentiment because I have started taking that approach too and asking a lot of questions even if I don't know where it's leading to. I'm not sure if it's a bad habit or a good one, but at least I think it's a good way to pool information that you can look at later on even if you are unsure in the moment. I think that's what Bell has been doing this game a lot, and I remember him recently compiling thoughts so I'm fine with it for now. However, I think I'm going to go back to see how his questions potentially because I don't remember thinking that they were exactly related. Get back to you later on that. Also, I'm not sure I can completely ignore his fluffier comments, but I think those are more of a personal peeve than anything massively alignment indicative. Maybe it's similar to the open wolf comments from L1 that annoyed me so greatly in the dance game. I guess I'm townreading this slot at this moment.
About your read specifically, I think the point about him revealing that he was someone familiar with you guys as a massive townpoint. I also sorta think it's townie that you brought it up for some reason. It's definitely the type of thinking that I like. I don't really have any comments on these supposed mindmelding moments partially because well it's you who is mindmelding with him, but also because I don't remember any of those moments from him? For the other half, I would be surprised if Bell had meta on me but it seems like he has alluded to that? Vote on Plus is definitely townie though for pretty much the reason you had. Ok, yeah I think you are town now for the comment about Bell calling you IC. I don't think you think of including that read as scum. I do think he was jesting about that, so it's not as big of a town factor to you as for me. Surprisingly, I don't remember his entrance to be townie for me, but I might have been missing things such as the Plus vote.
About Remilia, I don't remember interacting or even really thinking about this slot much out of early game. Maybe I've been a little intimidated of their slot or something, but I thought the questions they had towards me were nice and had purpose. That reminds me of the tone shift thing I thought I had found early game, and I realize I haven't been putting much of a focus on the individual post much this game. Perhaps that is something Something_Smart may have noticed, but it was limited anyways and quite subtle. I did think their entrance was quite fluffy and jokey in the same way I did as Secret Tunnels which will probably always be something I view as suspicious too much. Looking at
114 and
121 especially 121, I think the way bork advocated for you to read his slot instead of GiFs was pretty townie. It seems like you talked about GiF not being town, and I feel like the way bork jumped in was pretty natural. When I zoom out, I have no idea what makes me think it is so good, but I still like it for some reason. Looking at vote history, the first serious vote is on Bell for a) flipping on me and b) something about engagement on muffin/morph. I don't really like this first reason as it seems pretty surface level for a player like bork. Like what purpose does it serve for scum Bell to flip on me for not answering his question, I probably would be expecting a more pockety thing than the snap scumread. I'm not sure what he's talking about in the second part so no comment there. Next and final vote is on Plus which is fine because I also noticed Plus seeming sort of static in his read on Remilia. So based on votes, it's not really conclusive. His readlist from last night also seemed legit. Look genuine, and reasonable based on earlier comments(what I'm looking for from Bell).
About your read, I also liked the trajectory of the way he formed his reads. I'll accept the rest of the stuff as some intracacies that you picked up from many games played together.
Guess I'm townreading both of these slots now
