Gullible how?
You sound like "gosh, how am I going to find scum when there are so many experienced people?"
It seems like you're trying to get people to underestimate you.
Yeah I lack confidence in my reads. This is nothing new. Sorry I'm newbie who openly believes it. Tbf I think my earlier reads are better than my rereads so I'm leaning a bit on that here.

The one thing I'm very confident about is my lack of confidence in my reads.

@CSF they have the tone right, sort of. /: but it's meh.

I'd say I play large themes more than any other category by quite a bit.
Less pressure and responsibility to get things right early and plenty of information to dig back t osolve the whole game if I'm unlucky enough to make it to elo.

Not really, no. I care about your reads on the player list as a whole and I'll answer specific questions you ask which I can understand.
Why?
Because whatever reasoning brought you to the conclusion that I'm scum is incorrect. I also can't explain anything to you unless I can understand what kind of information you're looking for. As long as I can understand what you're asking and you aren't asking too much I'm willing to try to answer.
Why are you scum reading me then if you think I'm just wrong??
I think you've done nothing before this point to indicate to me that you're town, and I previously scumread you based on process of elimination and activity level. My read going into this evening was that I can reason my way to 1/3 in this game, and I believed there to be 1 scum between you/BBT/Corwin.

I do think that the way you're arguing with me now is more like a Town who is just wrong. That's new information though, I didn't start to think that until shortly after I read .
Bruce: Terry. I've been thinking about something you once told me... and you were wrong. It's not Batman that makes you worthwhile; it's the other way around. Never tell yourself anything different.
Terry: ...Thanks.

Right now? Not really.
Taly hasn't posted in the PT.
There are a lot of pots I'm watching and waiting to see if they're going to boil.

I don't think Frogster is scum. I guess it's possible they just toned themselves down at the bequest of their scum team, but like.
Probably not.

Hey @luke, why am I red for you? Can you come chat to me, I felt like we could have similar thoughts before (even when you were scum!) Some questions from you might help clarify my thinking overall.

@frog, why? I had Roden as one of those early gut reads, then they wavered a bit, but I think some of their interactions are ok.

i don't really take issue with dunn scumreading me at this time. i haven't left my scum range at all. still curious why he's talking like a robot.

this is a real case of the metas but the fact roden hasn't done anything scummy yet is scummy

I have a hard time believing this because you didn't even know I was voting you and I had to ask what your read on me even was. FMPOV you just realized I existed and said "yeah that can be scum I guess", and if you'd just said that I'd at least think you're being honest. But scum reading me through PoE and activity 48 hours into Day 1 doesn't sound like a real take. I think you've had a lot of takes so far that just don't sound real, like scum without any gumption.

Regardless, , Bella, Roden assumes I care about why he scum reads me. It suggests he values his read intrinsically, which makes me suspect he really believes what he's saying.

You were literally scum who said this about town!me in the last large theme we did lol

But also it's in your scum meta to snipe at people like this until they get tilted while you encourage people who trust you into following their tunnels

They are town for your SS, but 'town but I have reservations ' irl. That makes sense though, that's sort of what I picked up when I said about interaction

@roden, I think frog is a bit....pinball, but I do think they believe what they are saying.

VOTE: Cephrir

I've seen about enough, Rad makes a good point about BBT being a likely red herring. I think the solving was better when there was a healthy Ceph wagon rather than a healthy BBT wagon. Let's get this game state back on track for Town.
