Like, I'm entitled to atleast SOME respect, right?

Look, if you're town, obvtown. You should know by now that thinking about how you feel comes off worse than falling flat on your face. I didn't directly say so in the beginning but I explicitly said out there reads are a-ok.

the fundamental thing is that my stated reads list was literally RNGed.
I'm purposely playing obtusely because what I posted earlier as Alisae's draft and play strategy is exactly what I would expect from em in this type of game, one with a lot of stronger town players with just as much paranoia potential. What I would do is plan around trying to maximize the paranoia and proactively shutting down as many avenues of town being able to properly find each other as possible, hence why I expect the general idea is that Alisae separated the playerlist into "Drafted", "Killed", and "Neutralized" lists.
I know that I wasn't picked to be scum, so I obviously wasn't put into that list. The interesting thing is that I can be put into either of the other two lists, since I both know that Alisae has the awareness of my threat level to want to have me killed in a lot of scenarios, and also know that e is aware that I have exploitable weaknesses (via my breakdowns in the YAYVIDEOGAMES hydra) that would push me into the "Neutralize" camp.
my hope was that I would be a general null scumread floating along on day one without giving away too many of my thoughts so that it would be all that more weird in the case I get nightkilled on N1 (since I'd expect that Alisae would already have a good idea of his first 2-3 kills in most scenarios)... which gives town some interesting information considering that I'm not a popular townread. Plus, in the case that I'm on the fence between the kill and neutralize list, or there are other players in the kill list that are higher priority right away, I'd get more content to work with and a nightkill that would help me narrow down what Alisae was thinking with eir draft order and general angle they're playing the game with.
buuuuuuut I was pressured several times into giving reads, so I'd hoped that the reads list I put out looked bad enough to get scrutiny I could analyze as well as stop me from being townread enough to be an obvious nightkill going into night one. I died night one in AvP and I can't be satisfied with my performance in that game, so it would be kinda nice to be able to play the mindgames with the scum treestump that I wasn't able to do in the last one. I wanted to get enough wiggle room to hopefully make an actual impact in the game before my inevitable death and now I'm not sure it's particularly avoidable anymore honestly
if it helps though, I have four slots I'm pretty certaint are town and four slots I'm scumreading. There's one slot I'm a lot more certain on than others, but I'm avoiding outing it at the moment because I haven't entirely ruled out them being a mason yet.
I'm not outing my reads at this point because I still see more value in watching the game unfold as an observer rather than an active participant.

I think I’d be able to exploit you pretty well if I were scum drafting against you at this point.

Ank, say your definitive scumread and why please. If they are a mason, then I'll protect them. I don't believe any reasonable player has a lead on my masons (no pun intended). If a mason does wind up getting wagoned, I'll cancel the wagon forcefully. So please don't attempt to use mason hunting as an excuse. If a slot is a vigilante, be damn sure you're not shooting a mason but beyond that... leave it to me.
I don't like your excuses not to give reads. I'm not a fan. Your rationale could apply to anyone. I get playing some cards close to the chest, so I only asked for one. If you're right, maybe we'll get a counter going.

@Ank:
I know you're voting for Boons but can you explain more about why he's scummy? I'll admit I'm mostly using game spec to conclude that Boons is probably town but I thought his catch up was pretty good.

Ali, you should say “Dad, when you said X, it hurt me because Y. Please do not say X.”
Then you should say “Dad, what did you think of the 49ers losing in the Super Bowl”

Why Hectic? I don't have him lock town. If your case is good enough, I may publicly encourage his wagon (regardless of mason or non-mason status). I just need wagons to get the game going. I'd rather not wait until the last two days (which seems to happen in every large).

That's fine. I'll go play some TFT or go to my game shop to write. I just want some definitive read from you with reasons behind it.

I can't read Hectic so someone fill me in.
The only game I played with him was when I was on my alt for Undertale and I just really wanted to lynch him for the weird things he did as town.

ok sure I can explain that a bit more
My dad wants me to continue conversations and make sure I'm having open dialogues.
I am a very introverted person and I prefer to listen to my dad over talking, I'm not very talkative.
