who should I add to the townbloc?

Better question, is this a solid townbloc?

Taly/CW/GLB/Titus/Clem
i have no issues with this.
i would add sakura and jjh as well
The only thing I want to townbin
Sakura
for is to see the resolution of her claim and not based off her play thus far, so I'm wondering what people see there.

And as for
Jjh
? The logic-mindmeld is very strong and their responses to me have been on-point and that somehow is what makes me fearful.

When I read
jjh
, I feel like I understand why most people are paranoid upon townreading me because there is a sense of competence that overshadows a concrete motive.

Like, how is he so candid with townlocking majority of the playerlist - it can't just be because he wants to race to solve the game first? How does he have the best answer to
Gypy'x
IC claim but 180'd from pushing them while he somewhat spiraled with a carousel hypothesis for mech? Why doesn't he second-think the fact that our scumreads are largely consensus - or does he see value in rethinking?

He just seems confident and I don't know if it's powertown or informed and I really, really want to figure out sooner than later.
Throw GLB and CW out.
I have read some more and my scumreads are currently (GLB, Gypyx, CW)
My only townread is Datisi.
Why do you scumread us?

don't tell this to sakura but i forgot why i townread her. i think i reaction tested her early day 1 and just really liked her response.

as far as jjh, if he is mind-melding he is doing so for me before i even get words on page. So good job on his end. I mean if ur paranoid of his townblocking manner and mindmelding did u check his scum game out? i can't say i looked into his scum game but i feel he would treat me alot differently here if scum. Like i don't think he would be eager to townblock me or even push same reads as me
I agree with this, jjh sounds nothing here like he did in Happy Face.

Ydrasse targeted gypyx but T3 and Clemency got frozen instead. I think that points to T3 being likely town, besides this looks like their town meta to me here.
I'm suspect I would also be low energy as scum here, but yeah.

So i got possible scum of: T3, Victorine, Gamma
why are all the scum either least motivated people or just not playing

In post 5992, Not Known 15 wrote:The red flag on CW was the datisi read progression, that's a really bad flag.
There are multiple red flags on GLB: Their double explanation of the Ircher vote change, and their defense tied to Gypyx.
Gypyx has a really scummy role claim that screams "I need to survive" and lied during explanations.
Gypyx is tied to GLB as well.

Datisi on the other hand... this play doesn't look to me like it comes from scum. It is the one really not only pushing sensibly but also just feels like town to me, but I can't really explain that. I rarely have townreads but they have been accurate so far(when I was town, of course!).
What is scummy about my Datisi read progression? What did GLB lie about? How are they tied to gypyx? Also how much of the game have you even read? I haven’t talked about Dats for eons but the one thing we actually do agree on is your Dats’ read.

No, he did that both in the other uPick I was in and he also did that in Labrynth and Undertale as well. RC loves this shit, so I don’t know why you’d think it’s fake?

The only obviously fake post restriction is Victorine’s.
i know he has done post restrictions. and i could be misremembering our conversations of them and inserting my own opinion into his. But thats besides point. it really doesn't matter if its fake or not to me. It only matters if SS is using as a shield to hide.
I don’t think he is though based on some post he had RC edit because he used a comma or something, so I doubt RC would have edited his post if that post restriction was fake.

Your content as scum is similar to your town game, but I register several stark behavioral differences. It's a personality read.

You conflate perspectives you disagree with more as scum. You're also quicker to make assumptions off limited information, possibly because you
have
information. I'd even say you're likelier to be more emotional in the game as scum than as town, likely because you feel more responsible for the state of the game than ever as scum trying to survive.

When I say you're a hot knife slicing through butter, I mean you're sharp. But I don't mean that as in cleverness or precise - that's more your town game, I mean that as in abrupt and piercing. You can TMI not through a correct read of the player, but an understanding of the game that is already clear to you no matter how fuzzy it is to the rest of the plist.

I’d say I pretty much agree with everything but the emotion part. Am I more stressed as scum? Absolutely but the game that stressed me out the most was me v Titus (where I was town stump) because I felt it would be on my head if we lost that game, so that much is true. However, I have had meltdowns as both alignments. Being emotional or unemotional is pretty much nia for me. My emotional outbursts are less game related than to either something I’m dealing with oog/rl or if something happening in a game triggers my CPTSD. Boon’s To Be or Not to Be would be the best example I can think of wrt to that. I had pretty much a complete meltdown in that game and I was town in that. I went on for multiple pages about that as well.

And that could be a townslip by S_S if using commas is part of a post restriction, or it could be scum!S_S trying to reinforce the belief that there is a post-restriction.
