you find it strange that Squirtle made on that argument on Sheep cuz Sheep had so few posts but since you forgot about Sheep it has more credibility?
no bc squirtle's initial post was "vibes are off" or something along those lines... WHERE ARE THE VIBES IM NOT PICKING THEM UP

It seems like you think there is a distinction between those things. I don't think that there is. This conversation is not accomplishing anything.

Political positioning is when someone makes reads specifically to take a stake and play and help control a gamestate.

As someone who also makes reads list as town and scum, I can feel the difference when a player is actually reading the gamestate in such a way or if they’re listing to have a better spot in the general gamestate.

The fact they had multiple at the top, and non existent me is fake af.

It makes the people closer to the top happy with Ranger, and the ones kind of in the middle hope to go up.

Ranger started to put me up once I called them out hoping I’d start liking them more.

Their lower tiers are there being held down and likely going to take some flak.

They put me there with little to zero content when they literally just went through a game with me not too long ago where i just posted gifs all day 1.

It was a political placing of myself on the bottom, and multiple people at the top

It’s completely political positioning. There’s no merit to some of those reasonings except to put people in certain boxes.
As far as I can see, Ranger hasn't posted any "reasonings" for her reads apart from her read on me. So what are you talking about?
Reasonings for reads don’t matter.

Kind of my point. It’s the specific angling. Reasonings are easy to make up as scum anyways. It’s early game, and they’re doing this thing where they’re corralling the social dynamics of this game with the reads list.

It’s not the fact they’re doing reads list, it’s the how

I guess I don't understand why they'd place you at the bottom if they're being political. Are you saying they wouldn't care about what you think about them or what?

I don't see how you can conclude someone's reasons are invalid if you don't know what their reasons are.

I think the things you think are happening are just straight up not happening, but I don't want to pick a fight with you yet, so I won't.

I guess I don't understand why they'd place you at the bottom if they're being political. Are you saying they wouldn't care about what you think about them or what?

Because I wasn’t around and it seemed free and like it wouldn’t mess with the gamestate that much.

specifically I did not like sheeps entrance because I thought it was trying to find jokey places to be present in the thread. The whole argument with Klick was about whether or not that was something scum tend to do or not so I have a hard time seeing how you could have actually read the conversation between me and klick without picking up on that.
