oh no, i agree with fire about baltar. that probably means fire is scum. this is so sad.
I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”

town points ari if she saw what you saw in me, but then didn't actually wait to see it, but then town pointed anyway for something you abandoned because you assumed ari would have picked up on it anyway.
edited an important word in there that you seem to be missing.

my gut said ari is towny, that part wasn't going to change. at first, i thought her seeing exactly what i saw was going to be *extra* towny. then i changed my mind on that, but kept on my initial gutread anyway.

if your question is "why did you keep on the initial gutread anyway then", because my brain already registered it as slightly +town so why the fuck not.
hmm

If you think I am playing differently than our game together why not say that?
I don't think you're playing differently than that other game though is what I'm saying.

I don't think you've done much of anything yet...which isn't that unusual for anyone at this point in a large. Hence why I found the town read weird.
but Ausuka town read on me isn't purely meta. But even if you thought it was and you AGREE that I'm not playing any differently then why are you questioning it?
Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I kind of liked it more as a read if it applied specifically to them.

Scum being friendly in thread doesn't seem that AI to me, but to each their own I guess.
But it's not just friendly, it's like

"Oh hey!"
"Oh hey!! It's you"
"Yeah and you're you, how great I like you"
"I like you too"

which, I dunno, feels hard to get a natural vibe on if fake? Since if they share a scum thread it probably isn't actually their first interaction this game. And I read it all as natural, so I think it was actually their first interaction this game.
bleh I've written like 100 words on a minor earlygame not-s/s read I'm done talking about this now

Why is Ari scum

I was leaning town kinda but not sure how to substantiate it? I feel like scum her would like, probably be more likely to go around trying to get townread instead of playing so passively?

i don't know if i said that but i did think it, at least. maybe you read my mind

i really don't even know what towntisi looks like atp but i do have a slight gut townread. it doesn't really feel like he's trying to project towniness thaaat much. maybe a little. idk. but i def didn't get the "too nice" vibe, a few responses felt a little cold and flat in a way that i think ive actually seen more from town!him. it doesn't feel like he's trying to pump up his posts with extra emotion or extra thoughts

After thinking about it I still think my reasoning from earlier makes sense so Datisi can be like, a scumlean or something. I haven't got the vibes he's been particularly nice this game but whatever.

I read "extra emotions" as like "extra positivity and/or paranoia" which I agreed with. If fire means something else than maybe I don't like his point as much
