hedgey may not be the perfect word for the vibe I'm feeling, I think I'd opt instead for 'timid'. It's less about being unsure and more about not doing anything strongly. justification for the vote on me is one example I called out, this is another example:
In post 487, Morning Tweet wrote:Lukewarm sounds kind of deflated. I like the "go through the thread and mark townpings" approach. I've definitely had games (especially harder to parse ones) where that's all i feel like i have reads-wise

although on the other hand Luke felt a bit more disconnected earlier than im used to. He made comments on some of my mechanical posts i had early, but those posts had already been hashed out and the things he was pointing out i had all already known. This could be what others are pointing out I'm not sure.
like this just doesn't say or accomplish a whole lot, if I were scum!Luke I wouldn't feel bothered by this at all. I'll have to go reread the games I remember playing with MT (Jigsaw, Forest Fire) to refresh my memory, but my sense was at least with Forest Fire, that she was onto me early and felt like a major threat to me the whole time

In post 873, Bell wrote:1. Posted about who they replaced.
2. Posted a reads list they made before they knew their alignment.
isn't this wholly NAI? Like I think it's a given fire made that readslist before they replaced into the game (the timing is too quick for it to be fake), and I think once they've done that then as town or as scum they'd post it. if anything it's ever so slightly +town since it indicates they aren't yet trying to Enact An Agenda, the only real scum-motivation I could see it in is a) it's what they'd do as town -> hence NAI or b) it could make them
look
town.

But again, if you already made the readslist, prior to knowing your alignment, then you'd almost certainly post it as town too. It's not town-indicative, but I definitely don't see how you can think it's more scum-indicative than null

what do you mean by 'block of ice', like he melted quickly or he was unfazed by anything?

i think talking about who i replaced was relevant here. if i scumread them while reading along, then that helps me sort the people who wagoned them. it makes me feel like it's more likely the wagon was town-driven, although maf could have taken advantage of it

why do you keep wanting to talk about how luke was scummy? if you keep this up I'm just voting you, like, can you please just talk about who you SR? cause you talking about SRing luke the most means you think luke is the most likely here to be maf, and thus we should vote you, continuously saying "LUKE WAS SCUMMY LETS TALK ABOUT IT" is like the least town thing you can do here, if you're maf and looking for "busywork" just go discuss mech, cause I'm sure people are happy to talk about mech, but I'm seriously done hearing "Luke was scummy" or "I scumread luke" THAT DOES NOT HELP US AT ALL...

I do think Tweetie is more on the hedgy side but she's one of those players that becomes more readable the later into a game it gets because she has absolutely terrible endurance as scum so it's p obvious later if she's a baddie.

She's absolutely a monster if she replaces into a game that has flips to work with because she's relentless but I can see her getting confused in a large theme that moves along fairly quickly. She hasn't done anything that makes me think she's town but I tend to give her a longer leash than most because like if she's town then she will be pretty useful later and if she's bad she'll be like obviously bad.

sure, but not really saying anything too new/giving many thoughts, nothing I'd really interact with, just kinda there... like "here's a post..." I'd probably want to hear more of your thoughts, but like, I'm kinda just done tonight, its been a long day


I already have a million posts here, people probably don't want spam so uhhh lol sorry not sorry, 2 replacements on people I was trying to work with... like, ughh feels like I wasted effort, and now I'm just kinda fried, maybe sleep brings back the caring motivation, so I think it was Titus who said "I'll just sit back and let others solve" anyone with that mindset.... why the heck is that your plan... YOU HAVE TO GIVE THOUGHTS AND ENGAGE WITH PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO BE READ...

ok yeah I'm sleeping, bye yall! have fun
