In regards to this game, it sounds dumb because zeroing on a single mark of punctuation as something alignment indicative is basically a ludicrous idea. But the way you wrote that read extremely fake to me. I went back and checked your first game and you did make statements with exclamation marks several times, so I am almost certainly reading too deeply into the tea leaves in that regard.
Now, what does my read rate on you have to do with me thinking my read sounds extremely dumb?
Because you and Ydrassee are my second highest people who I want to propose to. If you left, then I would be left with only Ydrasse and GL [and now maybe also S_S, though we must not ignore Cabd].In post 1077, Alyssa The Lamb wrote:Why me?In post 1071, RH9 wrote:At least, Ydrasse and Alyssa are still around.

I kinda chained a lot of my reads based off that because it stood out to me so strongly and Prism agreed so immediately and vehemently
But they never even paired with each other. So technically, 'withdrawing from a first date' doesn't exist.In post 1075, Firebringer wrote:in pookys world divorce doesn't exist
oh fuck this could be interesting
Why do I always use implosion as an example? (Though, I genuinely find implosion more impossible to read than Taly and T3 combined. And I genuinely find implosion to be very distant and impartial at times like a judge. Nothing personal though because implosion is my favourite Normal Listmod.)In post 1071, RH9 wrote:At least, Ydrasse and Alyssa are still around. And I am so excited to play with Titus again.

And my favourite Open Listmod, Something_Smart! Such a pleasure to finally play with him! One more person who I am adding to my want-to-propose-to list! Why are you so against him? If it was implosion, that would be more understandable because he's impossible to read and very distant.
because I can't convince myself that someone as experienced as Cabd would ever have someone as experienced as catboi as "very obviously town" based on what catboi had posted by 274In post 1081, Alyssa The Lamb wrote:Why did you feel so confident in that one read?In post 1079, GuiltyLion wrote:I really think Cabd was scum though.

That is a satisfactory answer. As said, I felt it was dumb because it focused on something incredibly minute that was unlikely to be convincing to most people. You not being able to keep current with the game has made it harder to read you. If it slows down it might be easier. But as said, the things I read you off in those other games are no longer valid.In post 1078, RH9 wrote:I felt like you would be more confident like you usually are.

In post 1092, Alyssa The Lamb wrote:when the same logic applies for why an experienced scum cabd would so blatantly go out of his way to say that against a player without having a very good reason to risk that type of blowout response
seems to me like there's a super easy/compelling explanation as to why Cabd would play that way as scum?In post 403, catboi wrote:Let me work this through:
as a self-described "poison apple" in neighborhoods I've watched you run games from behind the scenes as scum despite low output in the game thread, including a game in this very format where you endgamed because you had the wool pulled over your dance partner's eyes.
In the recent anonymous dance format games, I found there was a tendency for scum to buddy up to highly visible town early. My own preference was to hold back until I found a partner I felt decent about.
Obviously if I were dancing with you I'd be on guard. But no one ever heads into these games expected to get fooled. And I think the gap between skepticism and overconfidence isn't actually that big - believing you won't be conned just makes you more vulnerable to being conned. And I know that ultimately I'm actually pretty easy to manipulate. I'd also expect you'd relish the opportunity to try to put one over on me.
So consider me apprehensive.
(I do hope the meta/personal history talk isn't too impenetrable to those unfamiliar with it, I hate when that sort of discussion dominates games because it inevitably ends up shutting certain people out. I've tried my best to make it legible to others).

If Isis replaces in, then it'll be interesting because Isis was IC in FakeGod's game.
