I think he has a good track record but I have no idea what his method of reading me is.
Is it just me or is this post actually INCREDIBLY sketchy. Like, really, really impressively sketchy for how short of a post it is.
Imagine you're you, and you're town, and someone asks "hey, can my teammate read you?"
The answer is probably yes or no, or maybe something more complicated. If it's yes, then if you're town, you'll confidently say yes, they can, or you'll give the kind of hedge that Mulch did with regards to boonskiies (i.e. "yes, they can read me, and if they scumread me it likely means their teammate in this game is scum"). If the answer is no, and you're town, you'll say they can't read you. But if you're scum, it can be an awkward question to answer if the actual answer is yes, for obvious reasons: if you can't justify scumreading the person in question, then them giving a scumread on you is suddenly tantamount to a death sentence, as you've essentially given that person your blessing to give a read on you.
Which brings us to this post by Firebringer. "I have no idea what his method of reading me is." Why do you bring that up as town? It just seems so, so much more likely to be something at the forefront of your mind as scum, when you know you have to say the person can read you but you feel like you want to discredit them in case they turn against you.
I might be completely making the significance of this up so opinions etc thank you
