Also it is gut! They say a bunch of stuff, that stuff could be town or scum, but feel it’s scum.-

well there's also 535 so I saw a pattern or at least I thought I did
but yeah that was an unintentional exaggeration
pedit: I mean I guess that makes sense, but that doesn't discredit a read so a push based on that would just be strangetime will end-

This particular hypocrisy is very open and indicates a lack of self-consciousness that I find to be towny/TWTBAW.In post 560, Ranger wrote: Porkens's content could be either alignment. Hypocrisy is (sadly) notinherentlya scumtell. Being disingenuous is (sadly) not a scumtell. Having random takes which largely feel out of touch is not a scumtell. The main reason I feel Porkens is scum is he seems "off". His approach is heavyhanded, forced, and feels entirely artificial.
His content could come from either alignment.
The tone behind it makes me feel it's +scum.
Use the aforementioned "looks like they are solving but aren't solving" scumtell and look at TL. Their reads are the least genuine of anyone in this game.

Not exactly.In post 569, Porkens wrote:So you are just gut reading me in 1000 words, cool.
I believe your actions are +scum regardless of alignment.
Your continued disingenuity (including 569) is a scum trait.
Your reads are suspect.
Your approach is suspect.
In spite of these being scum traits I feel are pro-scum, these don't inherently make you scum. I can see how they can form from a town player, despite their scummy nature.
Through the lens of everything, I still feel the most likely conclusion is you being scum.
This is in large part substantiated by gut, because by tone, your posts feel like scum.
Gut is a contributor.
Tone is a contributor.
The content being +scum is a contributor.
The volume of +scum content is a contributor.
The disingenuity is a contributor.
It's not one thing.
It is a compilation of everything.

Disagreed.

Porkens on the other hand I don't buy as lacking self-awareness.
Porkens is a veteran on this site with hundreds of games, who has had time to develop a level of self-awareness. A seeming display of lack of consciousness is thus, something I find more likely to be deliberate.
Simply put, Porkens has been playing this game long enough to have a high level of self-consciousness. An apparent lack of it is far more likely to be deliberate. A deliberate lack of self-consciousness can be a playstyle choice, but I don't think it's actually Porkens's playstyle choice as town.

I think it's scummy of empathice to be trying to equate playing styles as different as what TL and porkens have showed in this game and argue that they're both TWTBAW.In post 580, Ranger wrote:

I also find empathice's emphasis on calling things twtbaw lamist etc to be >rand scum, as he seems to be simplistically labelling different complex behaviour in a way that's not conducive to solving the game.-

I'm actually fine with empathice's posting, I was confusing him with a different player clearly. at any rate I disagree that TL has been twtbaw and I think that's a wild perception.-

I've decided that I'm fine with ranger's posting now, I find the hypersolve to be a townie trait in general and her push on porkens seems to come from a very honest place. I maintain that her stances on enchant are offputting enough to keep me only tentatively townreading the slot, but I like the things I'm seeing from her now.-

Dislike this read and subsequent vote.In post 381, Doctor Drew wrote:
This just screamed of 'hey fellow scum, don't act so scummy'In post 350, DragonEater70 wrote:
You really shpuld be playing D1 when it's your town meta to be very active D1. Idk why town you wouldn't want to play D1.In post 339, Gimli wrote: you're really gonna make me have to play this d1 aren't you kyoko
hood <<<< vig, no? why would you prefer a hood over a vig instead?
MT replied to this thinking it was a towny way of thinking but it feels like a pointless shade here.
Kyoko's thoughts here (p17) flow well logically and it feels more inclined to genuine solving pointing out nuance (such as with pointing out drew's inclusions for nightmare)
Gimli's meta-read on Drew feels faulty, Drew seems similar to the last Kornia game (GrandI) so I wouldn't say its outside of thhe scumrange.
#422 has a really forced use of the word nightmare from imaginality. Feels possibly like a signal which makes my mind jump to traitor as from the OP bad dreams are the scumteam.
433
I don't think scum really has motivation to double down like you have on your initial stance on rvs/half/rvs/etc. It feels like scum have no reason to keep pushing it when it obviously isn't going over well with the game in general and brought attention to your slot. There's also a good amount of proactivity (even more so at this point in the game) I think is more common in town.Dragoneater wrote:Would love an explanation of this read, at least in 1-2 sentences.
I mean it'd probably be good for reading you if nothing else.Dragoneater wrote:Unless ya'll are actually interested in these ISO's.
TL I feel more hesitant to townread at this point as it feels like in general to be as least controversial as possible and it feels like it could be scum blending in.
There's no actual reason for the huge shift of enchant in #443 by Ranger and that feels like a genuine town realization. Enchant Ranger S/S also works though, but I'd doubt an Ranger!scum, Enchant!town.
Kinda liking GImli's thoughts on 443 but disagree. Superficially scumsolving I don't think that much would be made that dramatically.
Dislike #487. Drew talks about ruffling feathers being a part of his playstyle as well as dramatic entrances (for paraphrase). That really doesn't seem to be true and it doesn't feels like a genuine sentiment because I don't think its really true. At least in vibes I agree with liking Porkens entrance at least.
491 feels wordy. -MT
Empath feels similar to where my head is throughout a lot of this. I'm curious if the reasonings are similar.Imprefection is the spice of life.-

Doctor Drew / TL are the only ones I really have to say anything negative about but I'm more interested in the slots that have nothing defining about them.
@ Empath could you elaborate your reads more? I want to get a good idea where your head is at.

TemporalLich is just annoyed I caught them.In post 412, TemporalLich wrote: imaginality has really bad pushes and the lack of activity is starting to be very concerning... the lack of any townreads whatsoever only compounds my scumread on imaginality
Gimli has a familiar towny vibe to me and his thoughtstream posts feel like they are town thoughts... idk I could maybe point to 231 and 347 as posts that are archetypal of the vibe I get
so yeah, Gimli is my top read (though Doctor Drew is very close) and imaginality is my bottom read
Busy weekend here, I have time my Monday to catch up more.
I start off slow in large games but when I'm given the chance to get into the game I can be as powerful as a Nightmare.Imprefection is the spice of life.-

Okay I kinda like Porkens now. I really do feel that these are honest reads.In post 556, Porkens wrote:
To be honest this feels like a busywork assignment, butt sure. See above.In post 550, DragonEater70 wrote:In post 461, Porkens wrote:Doctor Drew - On initial read, I felt this was town Drew. Scum Drew feels more manipulative in my experience. However, on reread iso, I do see a couple scum indicators (there's a very suspicious "lol" in 402)
TemporalLich - Like obviously trying to solve in a protown way from the very beginning.
Morning Tweet - Again vibes felt this was town MT. Scum MT has less to contirbute.
Gimli - Not sure why I thought Gimli was townlean. Entrance is super scummy. Later on seemed to be engaging but I can't say it's super duper town. Tinfoil hat says DragonEater asked specifically for my top four reads to make me enforce their scumpartner's townread.
Enchant
imaginality
Flea The Magician
DragonEater70
MegAzumarill
KawaiiKame
Empathice
Save the Dragons
Kyoko Kirigiri - grilling like making sandwiches. It just catches me wrong like presuming they can figure out the setup by asking questions.
Botanical Rat (Radical Rat + biancospino) - first few posts feel very VERY "pressure of speech" motivated (scum just talking to talk, "oh hey look at that duck" kinda stuff)
Clone - one post very scummy thats all
Ranger - already explained
I would actually like your reasoning for bottom 4 reads (I find Kyoko's position especially curious) and top 4 reads as well.
I believe you that you read 19 pages, but if there's no reasoning it does feel a bit scummy and weird.
Look, it's all gut at this point I don't have solves or reasons beyond that. I read, I color coded, that's what you got. Now I'm under fire and feel like welp that's is what it is. Hope that helps.
Your take on Kyoko is very onteresting and I might need to reevaluate my read on them since they are currently my top townread.
As to Gimli, if anything I wanted you to think ab9ut their townread more critically because I myself don't really like my TR on them.-

A. Throwaway post that won't be quoted or really brought up.
B. Use of a word not really perfectly fit into the sentence "Powerful as a nightmare" that's not a phrase I've ever heard before and it feels like another phrase better expresses it.
C. Plausible deniability- not explicitly provable like some crumbs are as well as the nightmare mechanic make it plausibly deniable to fit in context so it isn't an autolim if caught while being obvious for scum to spot.
Feels like the type of role crumb post I'd make in a normal tbh.Imprefection is the spice of life.-

I keep looking for reasons not to keep voting TemporalLich and they keep disappointing me.
@Gimli I don't use acronyms much but in that case was pointing out the hypocrisy of TemporalLich being LAMIST with their reply to Kawaii's question about what LAMIST means. So it amused me to use that phrase there.
I too am troubled by Empathice having me high in his townreads. In conjunction with telling me TemporalLich is too wolfy to be scum it feels like maybe hoping to sway me away from voting TemporalLich?
I don't see Porkens as scummy. I think I'd rather keep Porkens here a few more days because I feel like they are good at ruffling people's feathers compared to giving scum an easy ride.
I feel like Flea drove things more as town in the other game I was in with faer. Not sure that the difference is AI though but interested in thoughts of others who know Flea's meta betta.
112 and 268 from Meg are bad (both wishywashy fencesitty stuff) and if I wasn't still happy voting TemporalLich I'd probably be voting Meg instead.
Oh and I see Meg's fishing as well... yeah, VOTE: MegAzumarill

Okay yeah, this is much better put than how I said it. And I agree with the idea.In post 565, Ranger wrote:
Tangent: defining "solving" here is important to understand the difference.In post 543, DragonEater70 wrote:I agree that there's a bit too much emphasis on "solving" as town indicator. That's why I am not TRing some players who are "solving" but only people who actually sound townie.
I agree 'sounds solvey' is not a town indicator and shouldn't be used to clear someone. All players try to sound solvey as scum. In fact, sounding solvey is actually a scumtell.
I disagreesolvingisn't a town indicator. Solving shows signs demonstrating their solvey sounds are genuine.
Looking like they are solvey without solving is a scumtell.
Genuinely attempting to solve is a towntell.
Still, people sounding townie is a huge aspect of my reads as well--and can actually be a contributing factor in determining the difference between the two.
That's exactly why I SR DD though: they SOUND solvey, perhaps, but have they done anything at all to solve anything? Really not.
I don't see a world where town just puts a bunch of people into the nightmare and leaves it at that, except in order to make a very strechy (or do you call that "reachy" here? Not sure if it's the same thing), out of context scumread, and then give uo the push without any indication that they were satisfied with the defense. That's not an attempt to solve the game IMO.
You are right, there is something off there. Though I disagree about Imaginality being scummy, but that's another subject entirely.In post 565, Ranger wrote: With that in mind, apt demonstration:

Putting Kyoko that high is fine; her company being MT andimaginalityof all people is very suspect.
Lumping TemporalLich (one of the most efforting slots in the game who looks plenty town) in with Porkens (whose posts are filled with far less effort and is a main suspect) with the same exact justification (too wolf to be wolf) is a take I can't grasp.
