Spiffeh just seems towny to me. I haven't critically analysed my own thought process there, and doing so seems like busywork instead of legitimately helpful when no one is actually voicing a scumread on Spiffeh
This is not true. I am scumreading Spiffeh. Morph is scumreading Spiffeh.
I could have sworn I saw something from morph indicating one of them thought Spiffeh-town
But I haven't been very closely following morph's posts since I decided they were town
I thought Firebagel's write-off of Oblivion as town in 118 felt genuine
Overall my assessment of Firebagel is that she seems comfortable and wants to have fun and solve in a way that matches with a town perspective
I do not buy your perspective. You are clearing some players too easily and not paying attention to others. I do not think you have believable scumreads, except for Sunflower
Oh boy. It has the sense it is going to struggle with the speed of this game. It will begin to read at this moment, from where it left off, but if users had questions for it sufficient it could engage with them and begin mental modelling it would strongly prefer live interaction to combing through 30 pages.

What makes you think that I have any scumreads aside from Sunflower?
Who do you think im clearing too easily?

You seem to be concerned by both and I disagree with your stated reasons, particularly with Firebagel. I don't think anything about the quoted post you pointed out was hostile.
Dunn is currently my strongest town-read, for whatever that's worth seven pages into the game.
It actually has Firebagel as town. The issue is, the manner in which bagel entered created a lot of chaos that it needs to sort through. There is value for it in being able to become certain beyond certain doubt levels of Bagel's mental model and to mark them as town, because if it can do that it can reliably stake its life against killing them and prevent what looked like to it as an easy elimination that may occur later. To be honest, it worries about that kind of thing. It would rather solve slots like that now than in many many pages where paranoia takes over. It trusts itself in that manner.
It... will need an explaination of how Dunn can be your strongest town read. If possible, please only use evidence from Page 7 or before, since that is where this read originates from.

Your answer kinda answers your question. Why are you so curious about this?
I am trying to figure out why you ended up responding to that reads list seriously. Like I think that that reads list voiced between 0 to two (MAX) actual reads in in, so seeing you respond to it seriously raised questions.
For reference, Pooky's reads list was:
-The three people pooky bantered with about being/claiming scum on page 1 in the scum pile (15, 17, 20)
-Firebringer in the highest possible town pile, as consistent with the dynamic between the two, where firebringer claims scum, and pooky calls him lock town, and firebringer pretends to be offended that pooky could even consider that a possibility. This played out in this very game before the reads list.
-PenguinPower, who has made 0 posts, in town. Once again, this appears to be a Pooky+PP dynamic, as I am like 90% sure I have seen pooky say basically the same thing as fb's 80.
That leaves the only two that had any chance of having *any* substance behind them being the STD and the Ydra/skitter hydra reads.
I am not familiar with pooky having a dynamic with them like the PP or FB one, so that is where I see the possibility of 0-2 actual reads being expressed here, but overall this just seems like the culmination of his early banter.
So seeing you respond, with specific critiques, made me wonder how you got there.
There is a lot to dive into here, but this post has a very interesting mentality. It is going to take a few guesses which have every possibility to be wrong, but you come across as paranoid or afraid here. How can it explain... like if you were staring down the barrel of something you have a healthy fear and respect for arguing that another thing in the distance isn't being given enough respect or concern for its threat either?
Can you elaborate on what your mental model of Morph and Pooky as players are is? For reference, that is simply how you view their playstyles, capabilities, talents, failings and such, and your confidence level in being able to interpret them for a correct result a % of the time with this knowledge.

Is this slot the kind of player to be this bold and open with statements like this in general? This feels like something that it would generally townread a player for having the bravery to say.

Yes, that is on brand for that slot.
Tell it more about your impression of that slot and how it approaches games, and if possible can you compare it to how you approach games by manner of contrast?

Does this response seem off to you too, morph? Context was right around the whole dethy reveal.
Wait, what do you mean by dethy reveal?

Word. I just spent like two hours reading to get caught up.
I have some concerns about the setup and how everyone is just accepting that a hood is set up a particular way, given that this game is literally called "shell game" and the mod clearly knows what that is.

We approach games in a very similar manner, with them being much more comfortable in a leading spot than myself. Both of us tend towards a more process of elimination style of play, preferably more conversational. They also are more focused on reserving opinions until they have data, whereas I can tend to be a bit headstrong.

Does this suffice?

It helps quite a bit. May it provide a hypothetical situation and have you describe how you would handle it and then how you believe morph would?
