Do you think the readlist was genuine at the time it was made and do you think the response when I asked her to elaborate her reads were unsuspicious? I read it as dodging questions with an OMGUS. Check that part of the thread again.

This sounds more like the town nero I know. Nothing solid yet but a town lean. :lol:
So a readslist on Page 12 is a lot different from a readslist on Page 8?

His reactions and thread presence feels unscripted and off the cuff. I expect scum him to be more planned out and careful in how he engages with the thread.

Thank you. I will reconsider on Datisi.

@Human I will take a look at that readslist again.

I asked you which read you wanted me to elaborate on because I don't feel like answering busy work questions.

I expect you as town to have your own reads and be asking me for clarification on reads that you find to be likely to be fake or made up based on comparison to your own reads.

Instead of doing that - you continued to dodge as if you had no reads of your own to compare to mine.

Furthermore when called out on this, you said "lol" and then decided to leave the thread.

I find the last part particularly unlikely for you to do if you're town and you think scum!me is fabricating reads.

This latest accusation about how I'm "omgusing" you is pretty strange since afair you never really voted me? weren't you literally just yesterday telling me you just wanted to understand my thought process?

Lucky you. I came on to 20 pages and flirted with the idea I should not mention in the open (as the rules state not to) then decided to stick around and see what happens.

Nero townread solidified. That's aggressive enough and careless enough for him to be much more likely town than scum.

I am not sure what this entire sentence means.

I am alt of an account that I would prefer not to disclose. I have played a few games on this site. I don't believe I've played with anyone here, unless I one of them is/has an alt that I played with.

how is dodging the question?

"sure which one are you interested in?"

that sounds like directly engaging with your question

I'm not reading Monkey as scum. He's been pretty abrasive and loose, but I don't think get a maf vibe from.
Nordom, are you speaking to your crossbows?
Negatory.
Oh, that's a relief. I thought that-
I am not speaking to them, I am listening to them. They were submitting queries as to when they will get to shoot something.

no i thought you were bullshitting your readslist and i want to understand if there's a glimmer of town in there to sort your slot better. there is none, or you would have responded differently.

if it's not clear, i mainly don't believe any of those reads were real. specifying which read was unproductive, because i do not believe all of it. however, it would have been nice to hear you explain them and give light on where your head at that point instead of the omgus i received.

I don't answer busywork questions because it's a waste of my time and it's generally not very useful for moving the game state forward.

I can give you every reason for every read but it would not help me understand what your thought process is or what you are interested in.

The fact that you can't answer an easy question like "which read are you interested in" and then you begin dodging and shouting "OMGUS!" and "Why won't you answer me!?" is kind of an awful look for you.

i don't know monkey well enough to know if he would be over-aggressive and bluff as town, but his other behavior looks scummy enough to me that I am comfortable reading this as fitting in line with that

Like honestly what are you even doing? You think I made up a bunch of random reads on page eight?


why?

and when I give you the chance to quiz me / go in depth on any read and talk it out, you dodge and then go "lol" and ghost the thread?

now you come back and start screaming that I'm OMGUSing you for you refusing to engage with me? like what are you even on?

If someone told me to explain every single one of my 10 reads that I went out of my way to provide, I would also probably tell them to limit their request to a few.

I also had Save The Dragons as town, for the record, in my earlier readslist, so I'm also pleasantly surprised to see Aristeia coming to a similar conclusion.
