Why does it read as disingenuous? That statement was a compliment to your scumgame... I don't think you're as easy to read as you seem.

This is a good thing to watch over that I didn't initially think about.

How are you finding all of these awesome pictures btw?

Although I will say, I didn't mean to suggest that NOBODY could legitimately lock you as town, but I figured that for most of people here who don't have a lot of experience with you, it's too early to make a judgement that confident. Ankamius's reasoning is different, and understandable.

I don't think I am easy to read per se; but if you're going to make statements about reads and people's reads on me or someone else, then you should present your thoughts as to why and not pretense it with
"I only have X amount of knowledge on this game"


Otherwise, it can be interpreted as you pushing an agenda.

But... thanks :oops: I don't think I'm top-tier scum, though.

If I were scum in this position; I'd be dancing, singing, and doing motherfucking cartwheels too much so to read the thread.

And that's why I don't trust many people's perception in this game, even if I townread them.

I think you're the type that's not too difficult to detect for someone who knows what to look for, Taly

Perfect timing. I was about to mention this.

I think my approach to this game has been... not the best.

I don't need an elaborate readslist noting all of my significant thoughts of people. I think that's tmi
pre-2nd Dance
, and especially
pre-1st Dance
. It's also a distraction, since a lot of people are talking in circles who - for the most part - mutually townread each other.

So I'm going to focus on the
unpaired Gents
and think more critically about a partner, since I'm devoting my energy to reads on THEM.
{PvtUrist, Krazy, Moment, Allomancer, Dannflor, DoubtingThomas, Dr. Worm}

~ I'll freely give reads on these people, and I'm actively working to sort them.

However; I did promise transparency with my reads. So here are the people I'm either scumreading or still sorting in no order:
{PvtUrist, DoubtingThomas, Gamma Emerald, TheBrie, Moment, Something_Smart, Dr. Worm, Allomancer}

~ I wish I had a lower list of
"sort or scum"
... but I'm good on my other townreads.

Everyone else is a townread to some degree, and I hope they get partners. Luckily, 4 of them have.


Now, where do I begin?
{PvtUrist, Moment, Allomancer, DoubtingThomas, Dr. Worm}

These are both unpaired gents, and not confidently town to me - or I do/did scumread them to some extent.

But what are the people I want to partner with?
{Krazy, Dannflor}

This list can increase, but;
~ I want to make a pair
by Monday
; 3 days before deadline.

So people should be VERY clear right now on the pairs they think are most optimal and I deeply encourage anyone in my list(s) to talk to me.


And let me be 100% transparent: I'm still indefinitely making my elaborate readslist. I'm still taking notes, updating it, evaluating it, etc. But I'm thinking it's a bad idea to blow up the thread with it at this point.

I'll only leak the read-notes of someone I'm sorting, scumreading, or I find it necessary to leak upon request... at least until Pre-Dance is over.

It's been a day, and I need this thread, and my latest words in them - to breathe.

I might post later tonight, but no promises.

Dr Worm is a fairly confident townread

It makes very little sense to me why scumworm would go out of his way to specifically be as obnoxious in his posting as possible when there's a lot of attention on him, and then only to, AFTER most of the heat is off him, begin speaking in a more readable version of his format and say that he doesn't want to reach intermission. That timing doesn't make sense.

That said, he's still probably not the worst option to leave out of the dance and definitely is not somebody I want you paired with.

Taly that's fine but I will at some point need you to talk more about your bottom two ladies and bottom 3 gents.

I don't think he's anywhere near a
good
option to leave out of the dance when he's a gent town read and those aren't in the highest supply

That's fair but I'm more worried about a future scenario where he becomes a compromise lynch solely because of his posting style

I'm more worried about overall town cohesion than anything right now
