In post 1315, Cephrir wrote:i think your theory that they could be scum being coached to buddy me doesn't have legs, but i should point out that there is a small amount of supporting evidence for it, which is the "oh scum ceph is scary" post shoshin made. and i was weirded out by it at the time. i think this is less likely to be her trying to pocket me, though, than it is a possible response to some scumbuddy listing their impressions of every player and noting that i'm good.
The reason I said scum you was scary is because I don't feel confident reading you relative to other players in the game who have reputations for being scary scum (e.g. RC, who I feel much more confident reading), and because you play with a level of comfort that makes it hard to read your alignment. The idea that someone told me you were good scum is nonsense.

if you want meta, do it yourself. no one can effectively encapsulate someone else's personality in a single post and it wouldn't even be useful if they could.

I still think that if she were town she'd be trying to change my read on her and sort my push on her as opposed to doing what she's doing, which is effectively playing the crowd.
On a related note, I think that due to said playing the crowd it will be essentially impossible to lynch her.

As of right now I'd suggest doing something like Gameplay/Wisdom.

It should be really obvious that she's trying to keep me at arms length and that's part of a long pattern of players in the game trying to push me away and keep me off balance.
It's making it very difficult for me to enjoy or engage with the game and I don't think that it's accidental; I know some townies in this game who do that as a matter of course but.

Instead, I'd suggest that if either of us lives to 3p LyLo we should die there instantly.

that's unfortunate. if you townread Shoshin you should put more than a little faith in her read there.

To be clear, I'm very much trying to sort RC's push on me. I just don't have any desire to engage with him when he's being like this, especially since he's made no attempt to talk with me about the game at all when I tried.

Gameplay was my read first and Wisdom has been scummy.

But I'm really surprised at the number of people going "I don't understand RC's case on Shoshin so I'm going to ignore it and trust my own read there instead."

Like, I thought it was well-known that RC's ability to form good reads far outweighs his ability to explain them.

My earlier stated townreads on Gay Dance, Cephrir and Nacho still hold (though the Cephrir one specifically ignores RC for the moment because if I take RC into account I have no idea where it ends up).

You might be town too.

It's burden of proficiency on me. It has long been espoused as the best way to read me, besides reading my hydra partners. I believe they already explained it.

BoP isn't the best way to read RC, and town RC would never be okay with saying that.

When he started calling me locktown in a way that feels really fake trumped up and like he's trying to tie himself to me using extra words.

What RC said.

If RC is town, his reads are probably good, even though he can't explain why he has them.

Conversely, if his strong scumreads flip town, it makes him likely scum.
