as town. I have seen him fakeclaim cop as VT. I did look at the werewolf game and it's more complicated than that. The point is that it takes some amount of effort to read him and that includes giving him a little bit of space to do his thing in before just lynching him because he said something sloppy.
If it takes some amount of effort to read him, why did you write him off as town so quickly?
There's something he was doing in that werewolf game that he isn't doing here but he might do it later and I'm not going to say what it is to warn him not to do it. I don't understand why you don't understand this.
This is in reference and has relevance to..? Are you referring to him unscrupulously voting a counterwagon to save his partner, because he's already aware that this is a weakness of his play. If you meant that: Sure he isn't doing that yet, that isn't relevant to your townread on him currently.
It's not a binary "he jokes as town and doesn't as scum". A few people made me laugh in the first pages and that gave me happy feelings, and some of them additionally gave me townfeelings and some of them didn't so much. But it's something about his tone that I don't want to elaborate on
right now
but will elaborate on later if I want to. And meanwhile he has barely posted in the last few hours and I still need to see more from him and I'm not going to tell him what he needs to do more of!
3) As I said before, because Ether and I arrived at the same conclusion via different paths.
So what's your current read on him at this point? Still a townlean? Because I get the feeling that you're continuing to try and back down here.
Like this feels like when I think of something funny, but it's not really half as funny as I think it is, and ten minutes later i'm still laughing about it, and then everyone's asking me what's so funny why are you laughing, and i can barely choke out an answer and if I try to explain then nobody understands why it's funny and you can keep asking me but what's so funny about that and i feel like i've been explaining for 5 pages why i'm cracking up about a pun and why do you even care if it's not funny to you then it's not funny to you just let me laugh in my corner about it.
...okay I don't really relate? ._.
Like Ranger has Trebuchet MS as her third tier townread so i guess that's a townlean and where i'd probably have put phantom when we first made that post about Phantom after Ether and I were talking about him in AIM and yet we're not spending 5 pages interrogating Ranger about why Trebuchet is in group 3 instead of group 4 or group 2. And that's good because it's a pointless topic to spend 5 pages on. Who the fuck cares whether she has slightly stronger townread on wisdom than on trebuchet. Or we're not asking her why she had such a strong read on hippy loppy when he'd barely posted at that point. And we shouldn't be. It doesn't matter.
Well, I'm not townreading PhantomCobalt so it bothers me that you are. It was more than just the read that makes you scummy, but the way that you responded to pressure and people attacking your read. Although Wisdom assures me that this is all null, isn't that nice.
But I know Ranger really likes lists and often has reads which I don't agree with, so I don't really care about her at the moment.
