If we’re going to be real i think Geraint is just using "day 1 imposs anyways lol" as an way to mask that his early reads are bad.
Because there literally is a ton of evidence that you can have good reads even without a single in-game flip.

i cannot have good reads day 1. being honest, i don't often have good reads any other days but i do try then - i often get fixated though to the detriment of town. but day 2 i get better and put in effort to back up my logic - which i hope at least lets everyone else in the game read me properly. even if i am playing badly i owe it to everyone else to play to the best of my ability.
i think last game i had 2 i wanted to go after on day 2 and 1 turned out to be scum so that isn't a bad hit rate, i was pleased with that (and spotting all the eliminations were going to be wrong)

I do believe Geraint’s playstyle to be of someone who thinks this about all day 1’s, and i think that the fact it’s coming up so much is in fact because he has no reads, whereas if he was scum, he’d have fabricated some.

I also don’t believe that to be a particularly strong scum move because after Day 1, you get screwed, because you have no gamestate positioning.

Imo using partner interactions between unflipped players is... ambitious. It's not like it can't be made to work, but I usually don't see it accomplishing much especially early on.

But you do you, and I think this is the kind of content everyone wants to see from you. Just don't try to push me for something T3 did unless he's dead and flipped scum.

(And fwiw I agree that his meta read is really weird and eyebrow-raising. It reminds me of this. I would like to hear him elaborate on it if at all possible.)
Btw the read that game I’m pretty sure was completely made up

Also the problem with D1 nihilism is that if everyone buys into it and just treats D1 like it's pointless and random then D2 becomes another D1.

i originally did scum read the excitement but now i do not. however, there is one specific thing that i am looking for because every time that showed up strong, i was totally certain andante was town and the opening post reflected that every time. even in the couple posts you quoted here, that thing that i am mentioning is present.

i dont like this. the poe is really gross. it really looks like you are just placing everyone who took part in the 1v1 between andante and i and put them in poe because we are being discussed right now and most likely to come under pressure. the town reads are also just not good. you townread everyone who basically hasn't done anything (relative to the current "1v1") or have a decent amount of town reads. thats pretty lazy. you're just calling everyone who is partaking in this specific discussion poe which honestly is true, but i really hate that it's written out like this. it's very unsettling to see.

Seems like an odd choice based on who you've been ranting about these last pages.
Seems like a great choice to me, the 2 of you are acting the exact same, and ganging up against me, one yall could be town, but there is no freaking way you both are.
if there is scum, its norwegian boy. i am confident that holiday is town. but either way this argument just isn't valid. it might be true but it's still not valid because two people pushing you does not even mean one is scum. thats just not true.

Not sure i necessarily agree with everything you say, but i think it comes from a town mindset now.
what? i want to vote t3 over these posts. and i am okay with compromising on t3 today and i'll reread and try to reevaluate andante over the night if that cannot happen today. chances are that my mind doesn't change but it's hard to say.

this page of andante's posts actually looks pretty good now that i'm reading it. i read a couple of this posts earlier but i definitely feel some towny mindset seeping from these posts. andante's so offended at the idea that they are scum that i think it probably does come from town. i haven't seen my tell yet but im actually ok with retracting my last long post and unvoting for now.

ok. i want t3 at the moment. i disagree with the something_smart read. i could consider april now that i think you're town. aside from that, i guess i do want to take a closer look at gamma emerald/geraint/almost50/slots that have been lurking. gamma emerald hasn't been lurking but their posts also haven't been good.

It seems pretty clear that the readlist is presented as him listing people he townreads for independent reasons and putting the remainder in the PoE.

If I understand this correctly, you are accusing him of completely faking all his townreads in order to put everyone who involved in the Aza/Andante fight in the PoE, yes? And if this is the case, then the natural follow-up would be to ask T3 to explain his townreads...
