I came around to you being town
Taly looks really town
Krazy I'm coming around on a bit but he's still in my paranoia list
Vedith is probably town
Firebringer is probably town
Moment is probably town
TheBrie is probably town via gamestate
Dr Worm is probably town
Uhhhhh... Did I miss anyone?
Guess it's a good time to think carefully about that Pvturist poe inclusion huh?
Uhh, I like your reads, there are some I want to talk to you about but I want those players to post certain things first so I'd rather focus on the players for now rather than poke you about your list. The ones I feel like we are out of sync on are ones where I feel like I want more content from the player anyway
Our eyes interpret radiation along a particular spectrum, and our brain sorts the interpretation of that visual data into certain ranges, with those ranges being heavily determined by our culture. But the sun is not, in a sense, yellow--yellow is the color it emits, and in that sense the sun is every color except yellow.

FB, which one of these posts felt town to you?

fuck, there's a really good chance that I'm townreading a scum-person while they're townreading me at the same time.
I had 3 scumreads.
(Alisae, Allo, Dr. W)
But
S_S
makes a point in 2103 that would be disadvantageous to scum... Reads, in most cases in mafia, help the scumteam maneuver the game, and townreads WOULD give scum an idea who to IC.
I think... I'm going to make my readslist more vague in terms of read category's, since I doubt I'm correct with everyone.
And when I post it - list my
volatile
reads. Reads that are either not very confident, or can be shifted by a few responses.

I'd like people to explain their townread on me more.

Allo
, there are multiple people you've said you want to partner with but they wouldn't accept
Why haven't you tried to mend that? And in the same breath, why are you wanting to wait close to deadline before pairs occur?

Explain to me why, again? From my relatively non-caught-up uninformed perspective, it seems you'd just be doing what Karmeleon did in Witches' Halloween Ball, not pairing out of some kind of principle, losing town out on a pairing.
I really don't want to have this Nancy Drew scumread that I have.
I have not so fond memories of you hard tunneling me in Minuet.
I'm going to copy exactly what I wrote about this subject in Forgotten Hourglass here and kindly request that you never again imply that I tunneled you in that game.
In post 633, Nancy Drew 39 wrote:Well, you were beyond convinced I was scum in Minuet. I’m not comfortable lynching there yet. I liked her comments about the Mylo wagon because she’s right about that.
1) No, I wasn't.
2) Using that as a reason to not believe me here is a logical fallacy.
3) Scum can be right about something just as easily as town can.
I actually want to expand on this because - and I really mean you no offense - Nancy is so wrong that it deserves far more words devoted to the subject.
1) No, I wasn't "beyond convinced" that you were scum in Minuet's trio. In fact, multiple times I expressed the opinion that, although I was not yet convinced that you were as town as others seemed to believe, I was more than willing to look elsewhere because there were scumreads that I were more confident on. This isn't an argument. It's not something that you can
possibly
dispute. It's literally the words that I wrote.
Speaking of those scumreads that I was more confident on, one of them happened to be Ginngie; so
even if
the idea that my reads from Minuet's Trio were reason to disregard my logic in this game, you're ignoring my reads that were
correct.
2) Your response to my entire line of reasoning was "well, you were wrong here". This is a logical fallacy. That's not to say that I'm entirely disregarding the concept of looking at someone's long-run read accuracy; however, not only is that not what you're doing, but on a case-by-case basis that wouldn't even apply here, especially given your massive sample size of one game (one game that, I might add, you selectively choose a misrepresented incorrect read from while ignoring a correct one).
If you want to directly refute what I said regarding Maria's pocketing of you, I would love that. If you want to just say "eh, I'm not convinced", I wouldn't really enjoy that, but on some level I could still understand it. Please don't insult me by responding to me with something like this.
3) This part doesn't really need that many words; if you think that agreeing with someone on a comment like "policy lynches are bad", an obvious comment on a wagon that's destined to go nowhere, or something to the same effect is a reason to townread someone - well then, perhaps you aren't so difficult to pocket as you think.
I am starting to think it's better to have 2 ladies sit out than to deal with risking vedith being scum or a yolobomber
It cuts the first dance still, but it is a lot less risk and it's easier to plan around than just no lynching and trying to solve the game with the 4 extra players since we can force a large group of scummy and useless players to leave
I'm not sure I agree with the principle of this. Does it make sense to completely avoid a mechanic simply because of the chance of the worst case scenario occurring?
In any case, I somewhat doubt that 2 ladies would even agree to sit out, apart from yourself obviously. If they did up until the end, it would almost certainly indicate that they were town in the first place, anyways. Is it worth it to kill two near-assuredly town ladies and three unknown gentlemen simply to avoid the worst case scenario?
Would it even make a difference between that number of people sitting out and scum quicklynching, in terms of the number of people dead?
, there are multiple people you've said you want to partner with but they wouldn't accept
Why haven't you tried to mend that? And in the same breath, why are you wanting to wait close to deadline before pairs occur?
I don't know how to mend that. Also, I think the longer we have to form reads, the better. Not quickpairing is the same reason you don't quicklynch in mafia.

Actually in my experience Vedith has good reads and is bad at explaining them so I'm surprisingly not that annoyed about this.
I'll read it now.

Okay not sure how far you wanted me to read but I disagree with both suggestions. Even if skipping the first dance is technically optimal, in practice 8 days is not enough time to solve a game.
And town's pre-dance reads are not going to be worth very much, so I think it's much more important that each person get a partner they can read, so they know when to leave the dance, or more importantly when NOT to leave the dance.
(If everyone could perfectly read their partner, unless scum paired with each other the game would be a perfect town win.)

do you have a read on

or could you look at him? Since you'd have a less biased eye, being a replace-in.

It makes the bizarre assumption that Fire's read is based on my posts and not on Alisae's.
