Honestly, I don't super enjoy how Spiffeh's analysis of my slot is largely limited to
feelings
about my tone. It's not that I don't read it as genuine but he's basically taken two opposite standpoints on how my posting feels, either one of which could be reasonable and credible to lean into depending on how the thread shifts — i.e. morph gives permission for my lim.

That being said, I agree with all of his observations about the reactions of unwnd/Echo/Manatee. Resistance read makes sense. Generally, a good post, the flippy flop on me just gives my stomach gurglies. I think the fact he was reading through the game instead of like forcing himself to join in on the memeing last night could be town indicative. Idk I think the reaction to his wagon was fine. real time interaction will come if necessary
In post 1953, Kazyan wrote:Unrelatedly, morph the cat is not a townread for me, for that progression about a meta tell on Dann. It does not look like scum faking a turnaround and wolf!morph gains nothing from it. Mafia!morph might use it as an excuse to stop bussing a buddy, but it seems less likely.
would town read morph if I were to flip town? I'm trying to make sure if I'm deciphering this correctly. are you scum reading morph? net neutral? why?
In post 1957, Kazyan wrote:Spiff is making a lot of sense about The Resistance. I'm sold on The Resistance being town for now (or malefactor at worst).
I'm unsure why you think malefactor would behave any different from scum given the tell that Spiffeh described

dannflor it's bc those other reads are genuine but the one on you is tactical since you might be a counter tractor to him and he needs to leave the field open

Scum, probably. He's hard-defending you the way he did during the Newbie in which we were scum together, and is making unjustifiably firm claims. I haven't played with Town!Wheme, though.

I replaced in, said hi, started reading, and felt tired around page 7 so decided to go to sleep. I noticed some initial trolling from Wheme and Cabd before I posted but did not feel it warranted a response.

Luckily I'm Town and given how drastically different my scum and town game(s) have been recently I am confident many of you will have an easy time seeing that as the game progresses!

I have been successful in the past identifying scum based on tone (borkjerfkin in Warehouse 13, for example) and my ~feelings~ about people are like 90% of how I form my reads so I don't really know what to tell you.

Where I'm at in my catchup, your slot is THE hot topic and I find it worthwhile to list things that bother me and things that I like so I can come to a conclusion when I'm finished reading. That's why I asked Titus to link the game she was talking about in regards to T3, though I misunderstood and thought she meant he had fake-scumslipped in the past, which would have affected how I viewed the validity of the scum slip in this game.
