Who would you prefer? You are being fairly oblique with your reads

I've explained I think you're being hedgy with reads.

I don't feel like you're trying to solve either.

What do you feel about Enchant and Jake?

You keep saying this and I keep posting reads while you don't. It's boring and annoying. I think my progression on reads is fairly transparent too - I moved from scum reading norwee to thinking they are most likely town, my tr of the hydra is slipping, etc: I'm not hiding things

We solve differently, I'm never as aggressive as you as town or scum.

I've talked about enchant and Jake a lot. Enchant hasn't really tried to engage in my scum read of them, although they have done to slots like gamma, which also strikes me as weird. It would be easy to say the dueling wagons mean one is deffo town and one is deffo scum, and from that 50/50 I'd pick enchant any day -i don't see what the hydra sees about their meta (enchant has had scum games where they are absent, but not all of them, and does this feel like deptuy cultists enchant to you??).

Do you have other scum reads? Your scum read of me feels weirdly 'safe', especially because you aren't basing it on much.

It's not about aggression but more about lots of words that don't say anything, you know?

What does weird mean? Does it tell you anything that Enchant has engaged with Gamma and not you? I agree, it is easy to say one of them must be scum but I don't know, it doesn't feel that way to me. Frog's push on hydra at start of D2 is my main reason for town reading that slot, I don't think Jake has done all that much since replacing in. Enchant is hard to read for me, but their engagement levels and push back on their wagon feels town.

Deputy Cultists was completely different because Enchant was conf town so I don't think that game applies to this game at all?

I'm struggling for scum reads in this game, I've said this before. When I'm struggling, I look at people who are kind of in the middle of the game, not making too much noise or too many hot takes. You fit that description, as does Penguin. Outside of that, I really don't know.

Maybe yes, maybe not. Have you never seen dueling wagons of the same alignment - especially town ones?

Jake overall, Don Draper doesh't care, Gamma correctly read me always, but now probably have incentive to kill me.
Are you only scum reading Gamma because he scum reads you?

Which would make Gamma suspicious on your flip, no? Would it be worth it for Gamma?

@Bella: Apologies if I missed it, but did you respond to this post?

Do you think our mistakes (in parsing the VoteCounts / tracking the Enchant wagon) were deliberate? I'm not sure what kind of reassurance you were expecting.

Nah, most likely result will be "Ugh well Enchant deserves this, so anyway let's kill NM"

Also, what is Not_Mafia doing? This is some of the worst play I’ve ever seen.
I will SEARCH for games with you and N_M to help you policy him.
I can't remember the last N_M post that wasn't bland, unimaginative and lame. Some shitposters are at least somewhat funny. You are the epitomy of the type of poster that nobody would miss if you were to suddenly disappear. You never add anything of value.

It's always possible that we CFD from the current options to an entirely unexpected person, but more importantly the wagon they suggested didn't need to be viable at that time, they just needed to suggest it.
