I suppose I find it hard to be formal when I'm giving a bit more efforted thoughts on the gamestate. Writing in full sentences and not using slang every other word is a conscious effort by me, ha.

I will concur that it is not stupid at all! There is a very specific type of person that I prefer to pair with in games such as these. That said personality type was out the gates looking to get hitched forced me to play speed checkers instead of the slow and methodical chess game I'd laid out as ideal, but I regret it not. I can only hope that it pays as many dividends as prior.
There you go making me feel all special, changing up just for me.
To weigh in on this a tad more, I liked Lavender's style to the point where I felt like I was either going to propose to her or be disappointed down the line if I couldn't. Could I have waited and stretched it out, probably, would that have been useful delaying, who knows. Early proposals are useful in their own right.
And I do truly value having a partner I can cherish over one I am wholly confident is town.
yes

Now that I have confirmed with Ydrasse that we are capable of talking about flipped open identities I suspect Azure for making this post. GiF is mechanically savvy and this is offputting for Gif.
Knight Burgundy being SirCakez tends to be a miselimination. I wish the slot had stayed because I am pretty good at reading Cakez given time.

Contrast to this here where Gif had a lot more posts than here.
Azure Gif doesn’t feel like town Gif.
I know you can’t and shouldn’t answer the following but I think you should think about it: Is this town Gif based on your experience if you’ve played with Gif? If not a look at Azure is warranted.
I will not say whether I have played with Gif but this doesn’t sound like them.

I agree with you that's a bad look for a mechanical player, however, the Rainbow Knight was left somewhat mysterious, and in other runs of this setup is usually confirm town, so I'm not sure it's a smoking gun.
Is asking a question about a murky part of the setup mutually exclusive with being a mechanical player, I am not entirely convinced. But I think the basis for your read is fair.

While I'm willing to take this under advisement, I do caution that GiF is English Second Language. He often has errors parsing complex roles and specific wordings. The flowery language upon which the Rainbow Maiden's role rests is quite thick, indeed.
I played with him many many moons ago.
I will read the link you've provided now, though, and draw my own conclusions.

I got a better idea of why the pair happened when I reread. Consider me making an annoyed face.
It does reduce my suspicion of Lavender, though.
Reviewing the game thread actually made me realizing that I'm drawing blanks on most players. I felt similar to Crimson on Burgundy cake's comment about not wanting to get left out, but it's the absolute thinnest of reads and not something I would stake much weight on especially now that we can't get comment from the player who posted it. I actually think Knight Rose has been fairly towny. I wasn't a fan of Beige's shade on Crimson - despite lacking a read there myself, it felt like it was reaching to an extent. I don't have a lot of thoughts worth outing beyond that.

That’s why it’s only a read and not rah rah. I want new Azure to wow my socks off.
Considering the defenses that were immediate to a slot that has done almost nothing that means either I have the vibe wrong (possible) or a scum buddy is defending Azure (possible) or we have derp town (possible).
I am not looking for rah rah scum elim I am looking for a warm knight I can trust and I figured expressing my read and putting it out there is a good way to find a warm knight I trust.

It’s why I asked Ydrasse. She said that we can talk about what’s open knowledge.
I just can’t go hunting for who you are.

We are purely allowed to talk about the prior occupant of each slot.

I feel dumb just going
Yeah
The person who is not posting must be scum
But like
Scum don't really post unless they have to
Or they like being scum

You're particularly tunneled on one slot as having done "almost nothing" when I could make that assertion about half the game, most of whom I would argue have done
less
than Azure.
Digging in your heels and pulling the meta is probably town indicative if I had to say, but the focus is very strange to me.

I am admittedly a little less receptive to scumreading Azure because I may have spent the most time townreading them out of any other slot, since I devoted a post or two reviewing that just a bit ago.
I think they are town, but, I like the conclusion you drew about Azure there, as well as about Lavender and I.
Your predecessor was awkward and the most objectionable player I noticed in my read. I believe Gamma is capable of making strange plays as town and I will admit it was a distinct lack of self-awareness to propose to Mari, at the very least.

Once again, this is not dumb. In fact, sorting by post count was a winning strategy in the dance featuring the false prophet.

I will keep it genuine with you, Azure.
I have no idea who you are talking about, which probably means you are correct in that they are not posting.
Do not you think it a little early to leave someone out who hasn't played yet? To counter your "unless they have to point", I do believe the cool colours have to get a partner right now.
pedit: Ha, I remember that.

Seems a little premature to jump to this conclusion, no? Not that I'm saying they can't be scum but an absence of 19 hours in the early game does not necessarily mean one is stifled.

The "kill the people not posting" tactic is tried and true, although I would give it longer than 19 hours, as Mari has noted.
I find Azure's suggestion towny again. I'm starting to think I townread their character, they're one who comes off as genuine to me. I am not closed off to the idea that I may be getting suckered, but that's where I'm at.

Maybe so. I just think that I hold town Gif to a high standard of scum hunting and mechanical prowess.
That standard wasn’t met then having my first impression of the slot 2.0 being 18+ jokes is rather off putting. So I expressed the read while my feet get wet.
To be met with overwhelming town is a bit shocking. Especially I wonder if anyone is actually looking back at Gif/Azure and Cakez/Burgundy.

You can go to null.

They could be holding out for a better partner, alternatively.

Sorting by post count is unfortunately an effective strategy. I am not ready to condemn Seafoam yet, but I would shed no tears over losing them. Indigo is just as much a nonentity to me.

Cold take, but Crimson seems town.
