for what reasons? you seem to be disagreeing just because and that makes me very suspicious of you?
weird untouchable reads are weird
Because he has made three vaguely scummy posts and now has several votes on him and people wanting him dead.

Because talah understood I was voting Sakura to poke her for reactions yet not only felt the need to mention it, he asked me why I was voting her on top of that.

Sure it is, but why is it impossible that a townie gut-townread a player for playing non-seriously?
Because I consider that unlikely, and the way they responded to and defended the read while downgrading it to a read of lesser significance. Also how their actual explanation for the read seems to be more based on tone than gut.
Why is it impossible that a townie was drunk and accidentally "scumslipped" in the thread?

It's not unlikely at all. I've townread people based on tone lots of times.
I think your "read defense" issues are just you not being familiar with Plotinus.

I see that and when I first read it I thought he was just trying to move out of RVS. However, 17 makes me think he genuinely wanted to know (or wanted to look like he wanted to know) why you voted Sakura.
My suspicion is that he is the one playing us all for reactions. Again, I want to hear more from him.

Good for you then. Scatterplot was professing to know that PC had a jokey tone as town but I have specific evidence to disprove this. Therefore I think the townread is more likely to be fabricated.

So you're saying that Plotinus usually is overdefensive and backtracks as town and that this is a null tell for them? I don't like meta and am dubious of your claim.
