Oblivion's Dethy speculation is similar to where I'm at in that I feel as though it's probably best to table the Dethy hood for a day unless we feel really good about an elimination there.

I do like how Oblivion segued from the Dethy spec into discussing reads. I feel as though scum love to discuss setup spec, and Oblivion didn't just let the conversation linger there. They took initiative and moved the topic elsewhere. I agree the retraction on Marci feels town as I feel scum are less likely to just change their reads like that.

Well I'm not even sure that you have! You're being vague enough about it. I don't think it's unreasonable that you could guess who I am but I wasn't expecting anyone to do so here so your level of confidence in both that and your read is strange to me.

And I sorta feel like if you're guessing right, this conversation should give you some more doubt on your read. :P
I think your use of emojis at the end of sentences gives you away. Or do you remember when I read biancospino off of the Activity Overview?

What is this?
A game in which both ceph and I were scum and there was a derby gimmick hood, likely informing game design on this game.

I have vaguely skimmed the past 70 pages. There's some bits that I kind of want to go back and read in greater depth, but until then, here are my assorted off the cuff thoughts:

Pooky town
Oblivion town (?)
Crab hydra town (?)
Marci town (?)
Csf town (?)

I have a kind of silly reason to vaguely townread morph but i don't think it's that strong or valid so i'm probably not going to give that much weight to it; my general approach is going to be to largely ignore the hydra until later and/or outsource to someone who can read them better than me. Isn't scum with sunflower unless sunflower is like exactly a traitor

Luke pinged me, need to explore -> i think for a while when i was skimming i thought he was in the sunflower hydra and was getting them confused so i think i need to reread this

Spiffeh feels kind of scummy to me, although it is very possible this is a reaction to the touhou game.

Things i want to further explore/read closer:
~ how marci revealed the hood
~luke iso
~ what other people were doing at the time of the pooky/oblivion thing
~ more abt the hood in general
~ probably some other things i am not thinking of at this time

@mod V/LA through Saturday 5/4


I should still be able to be around for the most part but a couple days within this timeframe will be busy for me

This game deserves more effort from me. I am feeling really good about my town reads (even though like half of them are scum reading me) but my scum reads are admittedly a bunch of mild suspicions that I haven’t explored further and there’s like eight slots in this game I haven’t even paid attention to so I think a reread would benefit me.

{Firebringer, Sunflower, Brian, Shello, someone I’m not paying attention to} is where I’m at for scum before reread, curious to see if/how that will change

@Luke can you unpack your Shello townread for me? What am I missing?

In post 1463, Spiffeh wrote: I am hesitant with you because you have not yet struck the balance between troll!bringer and content!bringer that I have come to expect from your Town game. In Kemusan on Day 1, you were shooting the shit like usual but also had a very confident scum read on ffery that you were pushing at every opportunity. I'm not all that impressed with any of your game-related posts yet.

I also think that I am typically someone you focus on and try to sort pretty early, and you've barely mentioned or engaged me whatsoever. So it's off to me that the first time you've mentioned me in a serious way was "scum Spiffeh is an interesting take" as if this was never a consideration for you when I feel like I am usually guilty until proven innocent for you. My immediate thought when reading that post was that you were scared to ruffle my feathers or address me head on in the event that I had a negative reaction to it.

Ok re-reading the marci-hood thing, given what's known abt it later, I don't like it as much

I actually think actiondan's can be townie

I don't think dannflor and marci are likely to be scum together from how dannflor is pushing actiondan and defending marci based on the hood info

I'm kinda underwhelmed by luke i think

In post 1514, morph the cat wrote: {Dannflor, Spiffeh} On top of other stuff in the thread, I feel like Spiffeh is reaching with his appeal for us to townread him based on mindmeld :/
This was more me being passive aggressive towards you because I noticed you echoed a lot of my sentiments and given you have admitted to read me primarily through mindmeld I thought (and still think) it is silly that you 180'd your read on me for my one post about ActionDan.

I think you are Town. I am Town. I think we work VERY WELL together when we are both Town and identify each other, so I want you to find me. You've indicated with your "On top of other stuff in the thread" that it's not only the ActionDan thing that you're scum reading me for. So I'd appreciate if you would be transparent with your concerns about me so I can address them, clear anything up, and guide your focus away from me into a more fruitful direction.
