" sentiment in Post 58 and the followup in Post 64. I have a few markers for his towngame from Dolphin Mafia which he hit weakly here but not to the same extent so I'm looking to see if this read strengthens. More specifically, I liked how he pushed the NS vote and his explanation in Post 124 resonated. I also had a distinct "sorting-vibe" from Post 99 as it seemed his sheeping of Ffery was at least partly intended to help him sort her and Post 132 falls in line with that.
's reaction to my push on Nacho as she seems to have voted me for being conflicted about whether I want Nacho dead or sheep him. But my wanting Nacho dead was clearly an RVS push not intended to lynch him so there was no actual stance change. I feel the same way about Brantz's, ika's, and NS's reactions and I'm not sure what to make of it. Didn't like Bookitty's early townread on Ffery which combined with avoiding the Nacho wagon makes me feel like she's trying to play it safe and not get on the wrong side of players who may potentially be influential and Post 88 gives me the same weird vibe, not least because I find Bookitty's posts a molten mass of roleplaying. Her confidence in Ffery-town comes from Post 32 and Post 39 which I don't find alignment indicative at all or even remotely unlikely to come from Ffery as scum. Her choice of targets in Post 127 (TSO, ika) give more of the playing-it-safe feeling.
and I actually found Post 54 to be genuine and less likely to come from SleepyKrew as scum. I like his disappointment with the AP wagon dying and I liked the backoff in Post 166 as I feel it more likely that if Skrew as scum committed to a push, he wouldn't back off.
I liked
AngryPidgeon
's Post 167 as I feel it's far less likely for him to post it as scum. I thought the reach-out to Ffery was decent although not impossible to fake. I have a weakish town read here but I would like him to explain why he finds ika's apathy to be townish rather than scummy as well his townread on Bookitty as I have a bunch of concerns about her. Pretty much agree with the NotScience and to some extent the SleepyKrew reads.
There's hardly anything alignment indicative I gleaned from
Katsuki
's blistering daycop gambit as I find it equally likely to come from town and scum-Kats. The one thing I want explained is why he didn't wagon Nacho with me if he thought that wagoning him was a good way to get reads - either or Nacho or elsewhere. But overall, I'm null on him and need to see more before his alignment becomes apparent.
is that he seems to be avoiding Tiershift the more Tiershift pushes for interaction. Post 72 feels like a deflection and using the roleplaying as a mask for not having legitimate interactions and I really don't get his early vote on Tiershift nor the continued reasons for voting him and I'd like that explained. I haven't played with Tiershift but he doesn't feel all that different from the game I modded with him in it so want an elaboration on the tonal stuff that seems to be sizzling under the surface.
's reads and thought processes seem to be scaldingly similar to Bookitty's, first with the vote on me for offering Nacho my vote (and I'll explain why in a bit), as well as the townread on Ffery in Post 48. His thought process in general is hard to follow as Post 83 seems to indicate that he has a legitimate scumread on me which wasn't the feeling I got from Post 31 where he initially voted me. He then moves onto Tiershift in Post 115 for fairly weak reasoning (Tier isn't giving reasons for wanting people to follow his). I'd like an explanation for the strength of the read on me and why Tier became a greater scumread as well as why Ffery is town. Specifically, I want to know whether the initial vote on me was serious. If it was, why move to Tier so easily before I did anything? If it wasn't, why enquire about why people aren't voting me?
's Post 49 feels just like Bookitty's and Brantz's and the reasons for voting me are just boring at this point. While I can see where Tiershift is coming from with his Post 92, I don't feel its all that alignment indicative for NS and is more like general boilingly awkward playstyle. I want an explanation for the change in stance from Tier-scum in Post 122 to Tier-town in Post 164 and an explanation for all of his townreads. I'm not sure what to make of the fact that Bookitty, Brantz, and NS all a) voted me b) for the same reasons: because I offered Nacho my vote as a proxy, and c) have a townread on Ffery.

hasn't commented on my early push on him as well as the vote proxy. I was distinctly reminded of another game (Micro 347) where Nacho thought I was offering to proxy my vote to him and went on to push another player to L-1 to see if he gets any reactions. I figured that my proxying my vote to him will be put to good use with Nacho and I being able to sort each other as well as other players together if we see that we're both town. Also, don't like the general fade-out from the thread as I was hoping to see a lot more life and interaction from Nacho. But I'm hoping he shows up and engages my beautifully spicy hot reads list so I can refine my read here.

's Post 159 as it feels like he's trying to call NotScience scum for not reading the game, there is a scorching genuine undertone to it which I quite liked - as if he caught scum. I can't follow the initial TSO push though so I want him to explain that but overall a weak townread.
is a player that I feel can make himself really obvtown when he's town, mostly based on one game I've played with him (Mafia on the Air) and watching him in X-Men so I want to see a lot more content here. I'm slightly worried that he hasn't done anything besides vote me and the one scumgame of his I replaced into after he replaced out (Pick your Poison) involved him lurking so I'm leaning towards him being the kind of player that prefers town over scum but also want to look into the basis for other's votes on him. I think CDB's reason was decent, Bookitty's was sheeping CDB, Ffery's I want explained as it is flaming at the core with the crypticism and mystery I often associate with Ffery-reads.

non-contribution to the game so far and similarly to ika, I think he can be very town when town although I've seen him be heavily active as scum in the past. Post 163 feels like an RVS vote when we are way beyond that. The one thing I liked though was RVS-voting someone who was in the spotlight previously as I feel scum in general would want to build off of the reasons already in thread. Three people gave the same reasons for voting me and Muffin showed out of the searing blue to vote me because apparently he talked to my IRL girlfriend! But he has a few strong towntells I noticed from him in NikPick V and I want to see if they manifest themselves here.

town ap usually starts games with some paranoia about me. I always wonder if it's genuine but for now I'm leaning a little town.
I think your expectations of nachos involvement so far are unrealistic.
Is this based on Nacho being busy IRL? That's something I'm factoring in but I still think that he can be very town when he wants to be and has recently started becoming more active. What's your read on him?
shines bright and hot as one of my few townreads mostly because the way he's pushing his ika read feels relatable and resonated. I pretty much agree with his tunneling point as I found it to be rather weak reasons for pushing Tiershift. I want the Beast and Bookitty reads explained though as Bookitty concerns me and Beast only started being really town. It seems to be based on Post 77 but I'm not seeing what you are.

it looks to me like we're sipping the same brew wrt image so it amuses me that you think I'm being cryptic.
Why is this more likely to come from town-Nacho? What I missed in his early posting is the lighthearted demeanor and the "let's sort some people and get a few townreads" attitude I've come to associate from town-Nacho recently. While I expected bright blue flames shining in the sky saying "Nacho is town," what I got was a cold feel of ice and a forlorn, distant longing for town-Nacho.
If you are voting ika for lack of involvement, I share your concerns. I missed Post 136 and Post 141 but you are the only one I haven't ISO'd yet which I'm going to do in a bit. I was assuming there was some deeper arms race reason at the time.
I think there are some dumb votes on me for some reason so if yall smelling like farts and decaying souls people could just get off me that would be great. At least yall smell good though, well good comparitively.

I didn't expect nacho to have time to sprinkle flaming hot cheetos all over the thread. I'm more than satisfied with what I saw for now.
UNVOTE
Like I said earlier today, I would have unvoted already if my vote had shown up in a vote count, but since it's sending a message I'm no longer feeling, I'll unvote anyway.
p-edit are you asking me about bookitty? I have a mild townread based on points of agreement which reminds me of how I felt playing with town-her in the Advance Wars uPick game.
There were lots of paranoid posts about her in that game, so I'm kinda expecting to see more of that here. The gist was that she's very good at looking town when she isn't town. One thing I like about her posting is that although she's weaving the posting restriction into the content of her posts, not just tacking it on at the start or finish, it's not obscuring her thought process. Which is something I'm not seeing from some players, and obscurement makes me nervous.
Amid the pressure of great events, a general principle gives no help.
