I'm seeing a trend into your posts about voting and going after players that aren't contributing much. Why not have input or pressure players that are far more readable?

yes it's totally logical to seek information from people who have already given it & that you can already read instead
nothing weird about that position at all
I'm not saying that it's weird to vote on lower content players. I'm asking why don't you focus on higher content, or at least, why not evaluate this hydra more critically if we're so elusive to you?
Nah. Principle of integrity thing.
I don't like to hold preemptive scumreads on successors, and
Vax
is disadvantaged with the slot he rep'ed into, as well as there is dense content in this game while he just joined it.
So, I'm at least stating a position where I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt before he begins posting, since I did not townread his previous slot.

The focus on appeasing and sheeping ET who scumreads him rather the pursuing his own scumreads clearly represents a survivalist mindset. On average that's scummy, but could probably get some better data if I meta him.
I'm a little fascinated with
BEF
, to be honest.
On paper, his posts feel survivalist, he doesn't seem to be doing anything to solve, and he's reacting more than acting.
But I just don't understand what angle scum-
BEF
has?
- Shelly
feels pocketed and that ruins his plan as scum by trying to pocket a towny. It's almost impossible for me to believe that
ET/BEF
are S/S here, and T/T >>> T/S probability wise because
BEF
doesn't recoil onto another player, and doubles down on a CAUTIOUS townlean.

He appointed meta without giving blanket statements on how he is as town or as scum. This means his
633 was written in good faith and without the desire to construe anybody's perception of his meta. He was transparent on giving us the opportunity to solve him, rather than manipulative.
In games I've skimmed with
BEF
, he seemed more vocal and lively with reads early in D1, I'll be honest and say I didn't check for alignments that game. But his framing of
"my reads on D1 are very gut"
is consistent with
555 and his subjective outlook on
Ydrasse
565. His stances seem a bit wishy-washy, but they feel more self-aware because he's not doubtcasting his reads as scummy or arbitrarily sheeping possible townreads in order to show a sign of good faith or overtly trying to accrue backlash on his wagon.
...my counterpoint on
BEF
turned into a small towncase...
I'm not strong on
BEF
being town or so confident with it, but when I keep looking deeper into his ISO, I'm like
"why lim this today?"

p-edit
Tay
, what is your take on Sam? Should the wagon be half of what it has been so far?
