Depends on the tree, of course.

Excellent job.

I'm getting WH13 Mathblade vibes from AA9's recent posts, not the most charismatic player and has a knack for putting their foot in their mouth. Based on what AA9 has presented to the thread I could totally believe that she's a naturally OMGUSy player and the fact that her major scum reads are comprised of people voting her isn't really all that scummy to me. I was initially worried she chose to vote for me over Annie Edison because I am like universally scum read and Annie Edison is a town read for the majority of players, but I actually got town vibes from her response.

While I'm incredibly irritated with ridiculous posts like these and her repeated asking others' for their thoughts about me, I think it stems more from ego and feel like a town player with absolute confidence that she is right rather than malice or opportunism.

VOTE: Pooky

I'm not impulsive unless I straight up lose my temper about something. Do you feel like I'm not talking enough about my feelings/motivations?

fwiw, although when the medea wagon took off I was too conflicted to kick any wheels off, that's no longer the case. I
will
take exception to a hypothetical reenactment.
Yeah, I don't think I'm getting the initiate experience you have with yourself if that makes sense. You described yourself as a town support player, which makes me think you journal a lot of your thoughts and then post them for others to see. This isn't happening this game and instead I'm only supposed to believe you have Bell to share them with.
I don't do a lot of journaling when I play, except occasionally in night phases as review. I play in the moment and let my thoughts jell in the background until they're ready to dump. "this isn't happening this game"? I disagree. I'm still in data acquisition mode and kinda feeling bad/sad about where I'm scumreading, but I've put plenty of intermediate thoughts into the game so far.

This characterization gives me unpleasant chills. I'm having trouble accepting that you believed what you wrote.
I don't know why you feel bad or sad though.
kicking puppies. If I'm right in those reads, I'm still going to feel bad.

You say you don't want to be AtE'd by someone like Medea then sprinkle in your emotions to this very exchange.


This is where you're going off the rails if you're town. I wanted my read of medea to form as objectively as possible given the subjective and fraught situation. I quelled major misgivings about playing a game with Cabd outside morph.
I feel you are swayed by them, but you know how to stay objective.


I try. the perfect is the enemy of the plenty good enough. And I'm paranoid about misreading town-medea. maybe more so.
That was one trait that was really hard to maneuver against in Fortress, and I'd even say me winning you over was not a matter of you believing my emotions were true, rather you gave up and caved. I could maybe understand if you're worried about that happening again, but the game is far too early to start clenching.
There are big enough differences in how you're playing here vs Guardians (and the newbie game for that matter) that even after you confirmed your identity I townread the same stuff I'd been townreading before.

I was in absinthe-mode (working on chronic indecisiveness, and failing hard as it turned out) and playing solo in Guardians. Although I had ~some~ experience with every player in that list (though I didn't know who anastasia or briar were), there was no one I had deep enough experience with to in-thread masonize. Luke was the closest in that respect, although something_smart was the player I had the most game experience with.

Here, on top of the challenges of the game itself, I'm also working out a hydra relationship. We get along and I think things are going to mesh well over time, but our playstyles are really different, especially in terms of how we form reads and sort.

I feel like you know my play better than this. :/

I can ~almost~ see thinking the guardians game is a good yardstick, as opposed to xenoblade II or tenet or nearly normal. You have a lot more experience to draw on than that game.

I don't understand why the onus is on me to read you correctly ffery, meaning that you're trying to talk me out of my vote based on assumed experience. I'm looking at you like any other player in this game, who I just happen to have played previously with. If you were some unknown to me, your wishy-washy behavior would be far more damning than it is now. My own natural impulses tell me to not give you quarter in that retrospect

The onus is actually on you to read us correctly because....that's the point of being town? To solve the game?

If you can't even solve us, you're doomed this game.

Let me try and explain what I mean by that first sentence

Yes it's my job to read you. Hopefully if you're town then I should be townreading you. That's true for myself and probably everyone else. However? To me, you need to put in the effort to be townread. I'm not gonna give you a pass just because I seemingly should know better.

So is ManaeeGal miselim bait or just scum?

I haven't read the last 4 pages or so and I'm curious if anyone reached a conclusion yet.

Manatee would you say you were trying to hype yourself up in a way and trying to make a bigger move than you anticipate?

Meaning, you see all this confusing and layered play from people and you were trying to hone into that yourself
