Honest mistake! :oops:

I thought I went through everyone

In your team I'd say tsq is the one
least
familuar with me. Both xRECK & Cheetory "claim" to have a way to read me. Entertain me if you will

When you say it's strange of me to ask for teammates reads on me in TEAM MAFIA then I guess the answer is yes, it's frustrating. The whole tournament is based on a team to be playing the games the members are involved in. It's the only event where you can actually talk about an ongoing game to someone who is not playing in it (in your team PT/discord). How can you even tell if <insert name> is posting their own thoughts and not channeling their teammate's thoughts?

My request is simple: My ISO isn't even that big -at least not yet- so ask Pooky, Nancy & DkK to take a look at it and give you a preliminary read to convey to me and that would be it. Thank you
ill give my teammates some time to respond because they are busy with their own games but:

your iso is very dry and by your own admission, small. i find it strange that you want reads from my teammates on you (and likewise other teammates on you) when the people in this very game don't even really have opinions on you. do you feel like you've done something so significant, something so strong as to deserving opinions from people not in this game? that's what i find strange. you can just use common sense and realize probably most are null on you unless they have vocalized otherwise and you don't really need to solicit opinions, but for whatever reasons you feel like you need to be reassured of other people's reads on you?

in the spur of the moment it seemed to jar with his decisiveness about Titus being scum (like, to me if I'm sitting there spurting out why someone is scum it's very intuitive for me to vote them)

I don't really know if it's a tell it just makes me pause on the legitimacy of the case

honestly I really don't want to read AGar's post but this seems to be the fashionable wagon and I don't remember any of titus' posts so yeet

@ABR: Thank you :]

FWIW, my reads are volatile and keep changing rapidly, so I will provide a preliminary read list (or something that resembles one) once I've decided on a number of slots So far I only have 2 solid TRs

@Oka: I said there was a
reason
for me to ask. And yes, I feel that I gave been very transparently town indeed, but only those who know me well enough will be able to realize it. There is also a reason why I am playing like this, but that's another story.

Fwiw prior to re-catching up I think scum are Flake/Hercule. I’ll try and read back on interactions with Flake again and see if the slimy behaviour from Hercule is NAI.
I'd be like super interested in this when you get the time - glad you're feeling better.

this is pretty armchair but I'd consider A50 a player who necessarily plays to an agenda (whether it's pushing his current read, having a fun time, being a scumbutt, etc.) - I pretty regularly find his earlygames very cognitively dense and difficult to parse for alignment but find he's easier to work with and easier to read closer to endgame.

I think there's a way to like tone? meta read him but that is viciously unfun

I have not been struck alignment-wise by any of his posts and I honestly don't think anyone on my team has either, he's dead null and that's not something I feel particularly stressed about.

i prefer this to forgetting about it. i don't wanna be like, party's moving to the next house let's forget this ever happened, but that seems to be where the thread is headed.

I think it's probably technically positive but I kind of want to remain translucent on the issue for now. he's probably the most hotly contested read we have atm, for the most part we seem to agree on townreads.

I think letting the thread naturally decide it's course instead of enforcing a gamestate would be both healthy for it's players

But reading it later down the line

I'm confused as to why Peta is scumreading me @Hercule

Duck, read my ISO real quick. You'll figure out within maybe half of it that it's entirely nuts that JV is tossing this zero effort SR on me. The plus is you'll also figure out I'm town so, ye.
