In post 340, Rad wrote:Hey @Frogster take a quick glance at Luke's ISO and tell me if you see the same lack of content. I ask you specifically because of your 270 which makes me believe you've got an eye for that sort of thing.
I don't like Luke's iso, there is a low signal to noise ratio and their posts look like filler to keep up with the higher activity townie slots.

There are a couple other reasons I don't trust Luke. I think and are potential shade, and I think Luke is playing this game differently than they did D1 in the large theme game I played with them before, and their slot flipped town in that game.

One reason I may hold off on scum reading Luke is that there was a convincing push against them early D1 in my last Large Theme game, lead by Town, so I'm weary that Luke may have a tendency to be lim bait in Large games.

Yes that was shade. I found it mildly suspicious that you missed the posting restriction of one of the few slots you expressed a read on at that point, and did not like the way you tried to frame it as scummy for someone else to have read the post where C&G openly claimed they had a posting restriction.

I noticed it and didn't like it, so I pointed it out.

You're going to meta read me on 1 completed game and your 13 minutes of researching it? My first game since 2014? lol

I find it hilarious that you found 1 post in a past game where I do ask for a follow up from someone and claim I'm scum for it. That's right. I'm incapable as town of doing anything but asking people for follow ups and my strategy there can never, ever change, adapt, evolve, or do anything slightly different.

And oh look, Frogster responded with good content for everyone to read and analyze. I wish I had just asked you a question about your read instead of making all this happen instead. What a fail move I made :(

No.

When I read your post, my thoughts were "this approach does not feel like someone who is actually trying to sort me"

But I was worried that it was a personality quirk that I was misreading as alignment. So I spot checked the only meta that I have avaliable to see if that was the case.

I did not think you were scum because of meta.

Also, 357 just feels to me like scum annoyed at the reason they are being called scum

Like. The amount of annoyed for the reason he perceived that I was using to scum read him feels out of line with a townie getting misread by a single player.

And also, he literally just moments ago was making comments about me possibly being scum, and there is not hint of him now saying that I am scum making a shit push.

Huh, the weirdest thing.

This post of yours annoyed the hell out of me, but I wasn't annoyed AT ALL before that. I was laughing having a good time with my sarcastic replies. Careful assigning emotion to forum text, you misread that one completely.

I'll go with Frogster's read here that it's a TvT, cause either town!Frogster's telling us his read and I get the sense that Frogster's no newbie, or scum!Frogster knows something special (this is not shade, I have no read on him right now, I repeat not shade, any scum would know something special, just saying).

Maybe annoyed was the wrong word. I apologize if that word choice bothered you.


A possible bettwr way to word that was: my vote elicited multiple paragraphs from you about how ridiculous it was for me to scum read you for that reason.

That response looked more in line with scum thinking they are playing well, but getting called scum anyways for a reason they perceive as bad, then a town player who just saw a Not Town Read call them scum

I used annoyed as a short hand for the above. Sorry again if that choice deminished your enjoyment of this game.

All good :) I'm not offended, but thank you for your concern. Sincerely <3

My response to you was to laugh at the thought of it. I can be long winded, I admit.

If you read that response as scum, so be it. It's a town!Luke's legit read or it's a scum!Luke's bs fabrication. Either way, I won't be able to change your mind and you've made your read's reasons clear to everyone, which is of course a good thing.
