It discredits what they were trying to do with sheep to read them, as well. If you have more thoughts worth writing, you are expected to give them of your own volition, rather than wait to be asked.
Maybe, or maybe you're backing off because this interaction wasn't going well for you. I don't have perfect knowledge of which of those worlds we live in.In post 367, patchwork wrote:

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 topCHECK OUT MY HOW TO PLAY AS SCUM GUIDE Maybe it'll help you catch me

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.

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.In post 417, patchwork wrote:
