I dont really like how "correct" dann's reads feel. they feel like they are "right" and Im not sure how to explain that feeling. they just fit in so well and I dont question them when typically I pick at people's reads lists.
admittedly I haven't read most of this game but it still felt unnatural and perfect in a way. articificial is a good word here.

-Mister Ocean
I don’t really know how to respond to this other than I’m not sure where this feeling is coming from

Isn’t there something paradoxical about saying I’m the only one town reading you and then questioning my reads as too perfect? What does that even mean in a multiball game

Normally I would think you’d mean I’m just sleeping consensus reads but clearly you don’t mean that exactly

Someone else did indeed say something along those lines earlier so I’m curious what part of my posts logically makes you feel this way or if you’re just posting these words for the sake of it
Lukewarm just pointed that out about you a while ago. That's such a simple scum tactic though. I did do it, I'll admit but that doesn't make my read any less valid.

I dont mean sheeping consensus.

what would be the scum motivation to point all of that out for me? and I specifically said that I dont know how to explain it. and what do you mean posting words for the sake of it? light shade isnt really going to get you anywhere given I'm already a universal scum read here.

This seems to check out. Why'd you leave out the "Townie" at the end when claiming your role? It seems to be called Hirsute Townie, whereas Miller is just Miller.

This makes me suspect that perhaps your role said "Hirsute Mafia" and you assumed that it was like the miller and you only claimed the first part.
This isn't Greater Idea.

-Mister Ocean
That doesn't make sense, and is a weak read at best (*not that I necessarily disagree).
Pooky would engage us more here I think. We are a overall, universal scum read from the reads lists/posts that I've seen(peta, morph?, ka-something, and a vote from t3?)
I think pooky would not agree with that read/would be curious about it because that is his personality.
he would then test us in his fun playful reads but I dont see that here.

-Mister Ocean
I don't object to scumreads of you right now.

I was put off by your post stating that scumreading you would be a scumclaim, or however you put it.

Is that meta-based or if it's purely this-game-based.
I specifically said it was a scum claim for morph(you) and pooky.
I expect better reads from you and I dont think that is unreasonable given your track record.
I said that scum reading us was a scum claim but what I meant was scum reading for long periods of time. I dont expect either to be perfect. this is a game. every player has highs and lows both in games and throughout all their games. however, a scum read that stays from either you or pooky I do believe is a scum claim/werewolf claim.

pooky specifically is someone that is very sensitive to emotions in posts. he is very sensitive to lies and how people are reacting. he loves to playfully test people and is curious like no other player on mafiascum. I believe that he, if town, would be interested in testing us because of how fast we picked up scum reads. and as a scum read that isnt the main scum read, that should add to his curiosity in my opinion because often times scum is in the people that get heat but never get run up. that should pique his interest I think. one could say we have lurked and stayed away from most of the discussion on scummy players. what is there not to be curious about about us?

as for you, your track record tells me that you shouldn't scum read us for long lengths of time because we are town, have no agenda, and are somewhat actively trying to contribute to discussions that are moving this game forward.

-Mister Ocean
Thanks for explaining that.

It read like a preemptive "don't you dare scumread me" to me, which I didn't take very well.

If you're doing town things, I hope I'll see it. I have a tendency to tunnel, but it's less pronounced with a hydra partner.

It is indeed from Grand idea, but that's where the role is from. Are you claiming your role is just "Hirsute"? Not "Town Hirsute" or "Hirsute Townie"?

I'm trying to push you to put reasons to your emotions

I don't doubt you got that impression, whether from Lukewarm's post bleeding into your subconscious or just as some general impression from my post. But anyone can just spew the first impressions they get off posts, that's like my primary approach to scum - it often reads as towny because people read impressions and emotions as genuine. but town usually tries to dig deeper than that.

why exactly do you get that feeling, what is it? - push deeper. because right now posting stuff like "dann's reads feel too perfect" is just that, words

I don't think it's immediately scummy but I'm shading you to try and goad out your thought process a little more

The fact that we have 1 person claiming mafia miller and one person claiming werewolf miller leaves me inclined believe both claims.

So I am comfortable with the asumption that Ythan is not a werewolf and Vax is not Mafia, but a couple people (peta and Kakeguri I think) have pointed out that they could potentially be scum on the opposite teams given Cephir's stated random aspect to roles this game

yeah but it's not for the reason you think

it's bc you always overcook the eggs and the yolks come out solid so we usually just ask ythan to fry them
