everything but the reading people better when they push me bit. I can understand most of seanzie's explained thought process from a town pov, but the way he asks questions and explains his bait feels kind of fake, like scum that is too self aware and absorbed in their own play
Why doesn't the "reading people better when they push me" part not make sense?
I don't understand why you would read people better when they push you as opposed to when they push someone else
Well, I didn't really say the "as opposed" part. It is more like "as opposed to if they townlock me". I've been bamboozled more by buddying than I have been pushed for a misyeet (well... successfully pushed for a misyeet). Having someone push me makes me feel things, and those feelings tend to lead to good reads. To be honest, I usually OMGUS at first, but then after I see how the person adjusts their push, I tend to get a reasonable read on them.
I don't think watching someone push someone else would be as beneficial though. I don't know the full history of the two individuals, and I don't know the alignment of the pushee. I also am not as involved in the conflict, which limits my ability to read through interaction. Not saying I can't get AI content from such pushes, but I definitely have a lot of times where if someone pushes me, I'll be like "yeah, you clearly believe your suspicion of me, you're town" or "your push is wolfy af". I just haven't had as many moments like that from people pushing other people.
