I just did a run through of strange matter’s iso.
I don’t really know what to say there except they’re different compared to the last game I played with them.

Ooo, some spicy stuff in here. I have like 10 pages to catch up on this afternoon, but csf, Titus and andres reads have me interested
i feel like it is actually anti-spicy

like none of these seem out of the ordinary at all to me

i would describe it as mayonnaise levels of spice
Town reading Titus is a little wtf to me. I think CSF is somewhat meh too, but maybe there is stuff in those pages I haven't seen. You just mad cause you're getting scum read?

Fuck no. The only reason I'm not yelling at people to murder fire is because Andre needs to finish their catch up.
I'm not moving.

Also, fire should probably make a game solve or try to catch scum if I'm being a fuck up again. They're dying no matter what, but they seem level headed so I won't begrudge them a socratic finish.

no. lots of people scumread me, im not mad about it. altho i do think that it would be extremely easy for scum to coast on a luke scumread here and not actually have to engage with the person they suspect

they all just seem like very safe reads

How
Ceph looks really bad on this page, I can understand town leaning dwlee, strange and gl, but having this composition be your dream team looks pretty fake. I think including CSF here is probably shade/wifom. I don't think I've seen any positive interaction between CSF and Ceph or any indication of analysis other than CSF openly distrusting Ceph.

I think I'm pretty clearly using the hurt/heal tags to advance the town wincon. For example: HURT: Ceph

The idea that Ceph got nothing out of the last 10 pages implies he has absolutely no interest in sorting andres slot whatsoever because andres was literally the biggest question mark in this game until the last ten pages. andres had 6 posts most of which were filler, then last night he drops a full readslist and is openly interrogated for like 40 posts. How does your read on the biggest question mark in the game not change when you get that much new information?

Ceph is also super hedgy with his read toward my slot, he keeps claiming to townread me but consistently shades as though he doesn't. I think this could be AI because later in the game compared to other widely townread players I'm easier to mislim because I piss off a lot of townies, and it doesn't take a genius to figure this out.

For being a top "social gamer" or whatever Ceph seems to spend a lot of time sniping from the sidelines and making excuses for doing shit all.

I think of all my scum reads Ceph < VP < andres are most likely to be bullshit. I came up with some counterarguments for my andres read which give me reason to doubt my intuition in his case, which I can summarize for anyone who asks.

i read andres' posts but they weren't very memorable and most of the questions you asked him were pointless

if you havent understood my stance on you that is your fault. ive been extremely clear. youre town but i dont want you on a team because you said you're going to lolmurder any defuser

my social game award is not related to mafia

Are your TRs basically still the same from ? Cuz that's a pretty wack set of TRs. I agree with only 2/9 of those (catboi, pooky), and those two are like the ones i'm the least confident about
i like the look of this because it makes no effort to pocket noted consensus townread andante, yet also invites attention from her to discuss reads, when she already seems kind of frustrated about being disagreed with. also csf shows believable trajectory here iirc - at least i know im one of those townreads and csf's dubiousness about me is documented

VP I promise I'll skim through that game at some point tonight for ya,
main thing I'm just trying to see is if the style of asking a bunch of questions and posting random largely meaningless observations
( another one that pinged me much in the same vein) is fully in line with your town game, seems fire (slash maybe a couple others IIRC?) is vouching for that but just want to check it myself
I largely agree with this observation. I was kind of surprised that VP is second top poster when I opened up the activity overview, because I don't really remember their posts or recall their stances.

Keep us updated on the metadive
This kind of looks like you just testing the waters of wagons that are semi-popular and saying your fine with either.

It's also pretty silly to be like "vp isn't memorable!" when your ability to remember things I've said and my positions is not my problem. Have better reading retention. I also don't know a thing you've done this game, but that's not an actual reason alone to scum read a person because I could say that about lots of players in a large game.


You may think my questions are pointless, but they aren't to me and how I'm feeling people out, which is all I care about.
Sure I don't have a read on Andres or The Bulge or other people, but they've barely posted or haven't posted enough for me to feel strongly one way or another

the difference with you is that you've posted a lot, but somehow your posts haven't stood out unlike the other active posters. My reading retention isn't the problem if I can remember other active posters.
i liked this post because they're sharing my brain cell, i also haven't found you very memorable & have no ideas what ur stances are despite being a high poster

Tentatively

I like that he saw the same things in dwlee as I did.
He could be scum parroting me, but I don't particularly think I'm important enough to pocket lol.


I'd like to see more from him.

Why do you ask about GL specifically?
i find the bolded to be a townie thought process

i didn't actually think any of these things particularly consciously, i guess i agree with them now that i'm doing this exercise just to prove i can fabricate reads believbably so you don't have to think im some sort of mafia infant who can't do this
Get the hell out Ceph lmao you're open wolfing.

Yeah what the hell, I'm really feeling a fire + ceph + vp right team right now. VP is openly deflecting the lim off of fire and VP's push on Ceph (which Ceph was so quick to mention) looks like a warm cup of buttermilk pudding.

I haven't read the andres catchup yet. I plan to today and I'll weigh in then. (It's currently like 65 degrees and sunny here, so you'll have to wait!)

Ceph pressure was not for show and I don't know what that means? I think ceph is playing off any pressure with an 'I don't care' attitude, which is hard for me to sort at this early point in the game.

And I'm not pushing a random miselim target. I'm pointing out a trend I'm seeing where people kind of shade strange, but then there are no votes going that way at all, which is strange.
