i wanna townread gamma but every read feels more weird than the last
My gut feel from that interaction between f&g and Penguin is it’s town/town

That’d be a team committed to some pretty weird distancing no matter how you slice it
Can you rationalize that, or at least tell me how much associatives play into this?

The tell as I understand it is that Gamma scum likes to focus in on small less important details as a way to avoid talking about more relevant topics.

Gamma has implicitly agreed that that is true, but says the tell doesn’t apply because the thing he was focusing on is important.

Also, the pressure dissipating on Gamma and Dunn as soon as I was away looks suspicious. Shenanigans are afoot.
You’re more than welcome to actually engage with me rather than only slithering about when you want something from me

In post 946, VP Baltar wrote:Another pot shot that says exactly ZERO.
There’s not really much I can say other than it basically made me do a disk wipe on a good bit of my prior reads because I was like “my entire starting townblock is all on this one wagon, something about that
does not vibe right
for me”
So I took what felt tangible from my prior reads and torched the rest, and then added in f&g and Penguin as new TRs because of the aforementioned interaction

Pretty meh, their analysis on me isn’t exactly wrong but whoever said it wasn’t rlly AI for me, I think it was f&g, has a point
But their voting seems to be primarily just coasting on existing targets, I wanna see them actually go in hard for something they want

I agree with you that FG/Penguin reads TvT, as I stated.

Lemme ask you, you feel like I'm scum here mostly because you think I shouldn't have lumped you in with dunn etc early on?

No, I think your gamestate analysis was essentially irrelevant
Like, sure I wasn’t really engaged w the game (which ig is what you said), but that doesn’t make me scum. I’m v much a do things my own way guy so expecting me to engage at the same rate and same manner is not wise
And I also again just rlly dislike how when I acted up you tried to bully me into voting your wagon of choice

I mean, this is how I play.

I'm always going to rally people to wagons I want to see. This is especially true on D1 when people often mess about without focus.

Making people decide to be on or off a couple wagons on D1 yields a lot of information for later in the game.

Then you need to monitor your tone better because you definitely put me off of voting Dunnstral w that

Ok, well I'm not trying to disrespect anyone in a game. I just play to win. Anyhow, Dunn is still a good wagon.

What's your read on the Ico/Dats interaction?

Don't really want to yeet anyone yet. But no, it doesn't matter to me which at this point. I more care about wagon composition D1 and what that yields in further days. It's why I'm usually pretty low impact early game and have stronger opinions later game.

While I support the "it doesn't matter too much on D1" philosophy, these two sentences are a bit in conflict.

How can you not care who, but also think it is too early to yeet? When will it be the right time to yeet in your opinion?

Sorry - I meant it doesn't really matter which wagon takes off at the point and that wasn't a comment exclusive to gamma or dunn.

As to your last question: when there are more than seven vote counts and some with wagons that actually have gone somewhere. Can't tell you when that will be.

unfortunately, it is 1:30am and i've spent the last few hours panic cramming for my test tomorrow

so i will go to bed and get to y'all lovely people tomorrow
I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”
