[unwnd]

Worst you're third-wheeling this argument

Does above feel like town prickliness?

[the worst]

Hint: You are wrong.

am I? I felt like that was quite a good assessment.

last few hours have felt more like town!uncrowned by like, a very slight margin, yeah.

I'm not going to gamble the game on this because it's pretty tonal, and I don't think he's really being pushed over things that are going to make him post AI content? I almost feel like unc spews his own alignment before too long if you just leave him to do his thing

[the worst]

also that argument was boring and this is an 18-wheel game, I'll make no apologies for butting in

[Almost50]

A) He forgot how to read me early on, B) He's trying to keep me alive longer, C) He's outright scum and wants to keep his options wide open.

did you read my assessment of my ability to read you?

Sh-sh-sh-sh. We shouldn't be interacting much in the main thread. Less associatives that way.

[the worst]

*finger-gun*

[the worst]

I think your comment about me wanting you alive later in the game is pretty astute. I used to focus a lot more on like, gamestate manipulation and stuff, so I wasn't really thinking about it, but yeah you're someone I'd be happy to play the later game with.

[OkaPoka]

i should probably clarify

kkoba wants the full case with bells and whistles

[the worst]

Oka what are your hottest take reads rn?

[OkaPoka]

Oka what are your hottest take reads rn?

if you sort by activity, at least 3 scum bois are in the bottom half of the list

[the worst]

I'd contest that isn't a read but I kinda agree a lot of the more vocal disagreements don't feel particularly manipulative (agar/Titus feels like it has the strongest chance of red atm)

how about like actual player reads? townreads can be hot too

[unwnd]

I disagree with this

Players who don't wanna be scum (but love being town) almost always try to stay in the relevant even if they're actually doing nothing

That was toward Unwnd.

how about like actual player reads? townreads can be hot too

idk if i have any hottake reads because i suspect most the playerlist might have at most 5 ish reads that aren't outside the bounds of null and there is nowhere near enough consensus

maybe something random like ceph could be scum

[the worst]

respectfully, "does sorting by postcount work on this game" isn't a great tunnel to get lost in on day one of a large. or at any point in a large really

[unwnd]

Worst all your takes are very agreeable and that concerns me a brief amount

Because I think that agreeableness is almost becoming flattery on your behalf

I just don't see many edges

so I'm back & forth on ceph but someone in my team super heavily townreads him. he's also posting a tonne better than he did in a marathon game I was in with him when he was scum - but I also have a fair bit of respect for his like gamestate comprehension & ability to post confidently so I'm biting my tongue a bit there.

who are the 5 outside null reads as you see them? who should we be reconsidering or bumping up/down outside of there?

showing my edges takes a social capital investment which I don't really have the energy for atm - agreeableness is my default way of being. you'll get used to it.

do you have a non-tonal read on my content?

[OkaPoka]

personally:

i have lean scums on like abr, a50, ceph, titus

and lean towns on <REDACTED INDIVIDUALS> i think i mentioned hopkirk before tho

why do you ask for my reads

[unwnd]

Tonal is almost never the way I will fully read someone. Edges can be applied in the way people wheel and deal with information. So far most of what you say is just not very daring, and I think even the most sensible town know they have to be daring sometimes.

[the worst]

I feel like you're keen for this game to get spicier and you're a spicy chicken so it seemed like an appropriate place to start.

could you fill me in on the Ceph scumlean?

[unwnd]

I'll rephrase that if it didn't make sense for you btw

I could've just said 'Your posts are kinda information fluff' but I went with something a little more proise

That's what makes the game fun for me, I'm never interested in just going 'this is da scumz' and drooling on myself lol

I resent sensibility with every fibre of my being!!!

do I need to be daring atm?

pedit: that's fine, that does make more sense. I do feel like I'm stepping into the middle of a lot of lukewarm conversations in this game.

[the worst]

I have a sinking feeling this conversation has you push me towards explaining my behaviour in a meta context. I'm not very interested in self-meta but if it helps your brain I'm happy to oblige.
