I'm not coming back with just the Hopkirk read (just yet) because I want to be honest and say that this gamestate confuses me. I have a lot of uncomfortable nulls and I feel no closer to sorting them. AGar's wagon was the biggest movement I've seen thus far, and even then the votes seemed to fizzle out. People gained priority elsewhere and our doing their own thing. I believe the biggest shift of movement is on xtoxm, which is one of my nulls I want to sort. This is fine, but I thought a wagon of that caliber would at least..get some sort of buzz? The reception to AGar was mostly of compliance. It felt like scum looked at it and said 'jee that's a big wagon' then went on with their day. This confuses me especially if AGar is scum, because if my mate is run up that far I would at least bring attention to it or pretend to care. There are like two votes left in (Ythan, Dannflor) whose reasoning to vote there in the first place was pretty much just them following a trend.

I really didn't like AGar's response to Ceph. I haven't given him proper attention with that very post, but I do note the things he is saying to me. Playstyle difference is just the equilvalent of throwing my hands up and saying 'ok.' It puts me in a position where he's probably right. Spending time to interact with another will probably serve no purpose. I'm relying on the room to sort him at this point or even my own team, but we're not there anymore therefore this pretty much me saying we agree to disagree at this point.

i mean like:

i townread okapoka because he is cute, charming, and handsome

but more serious than that
No can do. Some of my TRs are based on crumbs. I can't explain the read without outing the crumb, and I don't want to open the door for that line of "PR hunting" (Why do you think I have NINE reads at the top line?) *Sigh*

I do feel strongly about weird fucking gamestate though. You can read this however you want, but that also attributes why I posted that 'case' too soon, because I'm getting some paranoia. It's stifled me in properly assessing what the hell is bothering me. I feel like scum has a decent presence in this thread which is why I question the wagon on xtoxm, because it sorta developed out of nowhere for mostly unsubstantiated reasons? Unless I'm missing something. I don't think his content is worth considering townie but I also am at wait-and-see with him. Why is his wagon the one that is more talked about and noticed than AGar who had a very explicit and readable reaction. I'm not finding the hesitation in Xtoxm's words all that interesting.

@Oka: I can try to explain tw just for you. Look at whom he's been voting of late. Titus and Xtoxm?? And he TRs DGB??? And has been avoiding me and yet says
I
was avoiding him, when I literally included him in my very first post??

Before that he was voting JV, but is now objecting a FoS on JV. If he knew JV was busy IRL why did he vote him earlier??

Well, that's the most you're gonna get from me, and it had been done as a favour to you. :P

I became aware of them being needed elsewhere after I originally voted there. The FoS is fine but their activity isn't a reliable reading factor.

I kinda meant ignoring my responses while replying to other people on that page A50. I haven't seen you address posts to me other than the ones insisting I should have a read on you for some reason.

I don't really know I guess

I'm trying to put together some semblance of a whole reads list and I got to your slot and I just realized I don't really remember much about your posting despite you having posted a decent amount. Looking back over I just feel like you've been very... agreeable this game? Or when you do have a unique idea or push you haven't put a lot of energy into pushing that take very hard.

I realize that still doesn't clarify

I guess I'm just asking what you feel strongest about in this game right now

scum reads / town reads / whatever

Like for instance I know you've put pressure on both Titus and JV recently but I don't really know if you have any strong scum reads at the moment

which if you don't that's fine I'm not gonna scum read you for not having a hot and spicy burning take I'd just like to not miss it if you have anything in the game you feel really strongly about
