i would vote sleepless to ensure a wagon goes thru eod fwiw

pedit fair enuf
like i said before i would be down to do midway now as well

Do you feel midway will be harder to read than Sleepless Assassin in the longrun?

You've spoken about this as a practical matter, end-all ban on voting not-you & not-flow.

For the sake of humoring us, can you discuss your actual reads on the slot instead, without a necessity to vote them today attached?

You give two lines on midway, utilizing one quote, in your initial wall suggesting he is town for feeling solvey. The readwall in 1860 mentions going back and forth; this does not make it into your ISO elsewhere.

For Cakez, you don't weigh in at all in the initial wall. In the 1860 readswall, you mention that he seems town for his posts. The only other post that weighs in on Cakez is 2928, which again seems to be very vague and tonal. At one point you also mention never seeing him as scum, and 2578 just gives a brief "still town" read without further explanation.
You just referenced my answer to your own question. Midway I was lightly scumreading early on but came around and now say town. Sircakez has always been a weaker town read.
Faker wrote: Working through your ISO, really not a fan again. You dodge many slots wholesale and flow is the only player you've gone to bat on recently, knowing well in advance how coinflippy of a player he is.
I've actually never played with flow trap.
Faker wrote: I want to visit the innocentvillager scumread and how it progresses. You went to bat against them earlier, but a brief leads me to it cools into interactions much more selfserving.
Yes it cooled significantly. You're correct.

They can be useful after a scum flip if you can pinpoint who was resisting.

You know he is a coinflip because the spammy/jokey posts you are citing as the primary reason to scumread him has been repeatedly affirmed to be his meta and NAI at worst. One player you have gone out of your way to interact with and clearly respect deeply has cited it as a towntell for flow trap.

None of this has deterred you.

I am determined to see you flip.

Look at midways handling of the two wagons.

He had a gut town read on flow, saw the wagon and went "meh maybe I could vote there" but stuck to the gut read and voted me instead. That's a natural thought process. That's not scum with an agenda.

scum can fake whatever thought process they want if both you and flow are town

and if flow is town isn't that a great excuse to posture around ultimately voting you?

In a perfect world, we eliminate flow, he flips scum, and I get cleared by a power role and carry us to back to back scum eliminations for a town win.
