HURT: Umlaut

why do u scumread implosion? there's a strong chance 1-2 of your POE will end up coalition'd on the current trajectoryIn post 497, tired person wrote: ftr i slightly scumread implosion and umlaut and undecided about moros. i will make my cases later today.
highkey I wish I had a response as cool as this to all of my replace ins <3In post 532, Moros wrote:In post 530, the worst wrote: hey y'all how're we doing?

I read the entire game to spite this post jsyk. I'm not happy about it.In post 557, Tsawwassen wrote:Hi! Probably look at the current coalition votes (there's a consensus of about 5-6 people) and go from thereIn post 555, the worst wrote: i'm getting an early night tonight & waking up early tomorrow so i think i'll probably be around a lot more then. where should i focus my efforts?
you drew a pretty short straw as either alignment here. my reads formed on other players while your pred kinda just posted stuff that I mildly disliked. I enjoy that you're challenging the status quoIn post 598, tired person wrote:i don't think you gave any mention to posts i made in your catchup so i'm wondering how you arrived at the read you have of me.In post 597, the worst wrote: the worst

Aventurine
as of right now
May should be higher but I'm so bad at reading May accurately she's such a significant loss vector aaaahhhh
HURT: all
HEAL: implosion, may
everyone else may now begin begging for inclusion
implosion is my strongest townread. I kept him in my POE to a fault in a recent game and like, looking at what he's posting here, he makes so much sense within the scope of how I understand implosion's brainIn post 602, Tsawwassen wrote: @the worst, I'd like to know how sure is your implosion read. I feel I'm wavering on that
Don't have anything else to say about your list
I'm pretending to fake quote this into the scum pt so I can cackle about how brilliantly my evil plan is coming to fruitionIn post 603, tired person wrote: i can't help but feel like the worst is tryharding in a scummy way and trying to push some agenda but at the same time i'm just not seeing what the agenda is, if that makes sense. perhaps it is just my natural sense of paranoia toward waterfowls which it is at play here.
in any case i have reread aventurine iso and while originally i had townread 310, thinking that it was quite unintuitive for scum to make, i can now see it as appeasing as i believe may described it. so i'm currently landing on a scum lean.
p-edit: i know 1-2 of my poe will be coalition'd which is why i'm advocating against it. i explained earlier why i scumread implosion.
oh I had read this. thank you.In post 607, tired person wrote:In post 548, tired person wrote: implosion i also felt was very towny in real time reading his posts, but in reading his iso i feel a lot of his antics are sort of geared toward making a preformance of having a towny mindset rather than actually coming from a towny mindset. i cannot put a finger on it but the post that alerted me to it was 327. another thing that i take issue with is the fact that he seems completely content with his reads in a way that town often aren't. i'd expect him to show at least some degree of paranoia toward his townreads or curiosity toward the alignment of his nullreads, which i'm just not seeing.
you've succeeded in making me blush but not in joining my coalition (yet).In post 609, Tsawwassen wrote: I enjoyed it. There were a lot of eureka! moments for me personally
I mostly agree with your top 5, only compromising on May, but I don't really see any issue including her if she is townread by most of my coalition votes tooIn post 614, the worst wrote:you've succeeded in making me blush but not in joining my coalition (yet).In post 609, Tsawwassen wrote: I enjoyed it.

this is a pretty apt description of what happened, actually. generally i will have time to do a quick once-over of the game, but not enough to actually read & analyze it nor to postIn post 583, the worst wrote:yeah tend to agree. I know it's not like super intuitive to pivot your reads as scum, but Aventurine has been coasting and posting spicy reads, couldn't explain said spicy reads, posted over-explaining uninteresting reads nobody had asked about, proved a lack of conviction in any of the original interesting reads, all while citing real life reasons for not playing the game DESPITE apparently being engaged enough to have fairly convoluted thoughts on fairly straightforward aspects of the gameIn post 332, May wrote: Aventurine seems very appeasy
The double pivot looks bad. It's just less likely for two reads to organically flip compared to 1 but 2 slot changes isnt as coincidental for scum air traffic controlling pressure.
the fallout from that conversation for me is that Ave doesn't have reads but is fairly happy to be whatever implo & Black pressured Ave to be
I feel bad for this but I just think Ave kind of got pressured past the point Ave expected to get pressured and floundered and that's what we're seeing

it's weird to me that you say i'm "kinda compelled to [challenge the status quo to the death] as either alignment here". bc from your point of view if you are town and your read that may is town is correct, then if i'm scum i'm very much not compelled to challenge the status quo at all. since if i'm scum my partner is all but guaranteed to be in the coalition at the point i entered the game.In post 610, the worst wrote: you drew a pretty short straw as either alignment here. my reads formed on other players while your pred kinda just posted stuff that I mildly disliked.

and stuff but I also think that's something you kinda are compelled to do as either alignment here.
what specific argument do you find compelling? i'm curious because most others seem relatively uncompelled by what i say.In post 610, the worst wrote: you're also well spoken and compelling which makes me extra anxious to readjust my read on you right now
and what precisely is that thing?In post 613, the worst wrote: but I feel more strongly about the thing I see that makes me think he's town
