HP I don't even remember why I town!binned them on D1, but nothing stood out recently for me to chang my mind about them
Spiffeh for breaking the mold early requesting to be turnstiled on D1.
This is the last post Almost50 mentions me in the Forwards thread, where he explains his reason for townreading me to answer someone's question. He called me town prior to this as well.
Next time he mentions me is after he's turnstiled below where he reiterates his reason for townreading me early in his explanation of his read on skitter:

Scum do NOT want to bring attention unto themselves by suggesting they want to be turnstiled this early. (I would expect them to either lay low about it until it's brought up as a discussion subject and then declaring they "don't mind" being turnstiled, or waiting for someone else to actually suggest they should be turnstiled, or even have another Scum buddy propose it if no townie does it)
Doesn't mention me again until I'm over here and describes me as the following.
I find this read to be noncommittal overall but also implies a townread? However, it's a calculated thing to say because he can easily turn this into a scum read in the event he needs to pivot in that direction.
This ~excellent~ read progression has culminated with his recent vote on me.
It is important to note that A50's recent vote on me
is the only vote that he has cast the entire game
(outside of an Imperium vote super early on that might have even been a joke? idk). He has town read me for most of the game according to his ISO but the second a wagon materializes and literally everyone has vocally scum read me, he jettisons his initial read for no stated reason beyond "doesn't look genuine".
If A50 is town and has been this absent, there is absolutely no way he feels comfortable enough voting for me here given his conservative voting history and how he's felt about me prior to this Day. His vote only makes sense coming from scum trying to get rid of one of his greatest naysayers at a time where I'm the most vulnerable.
I don't want to hear anymore bullshit about my read on A50 being weak or going after LHF after his most recent posts.
