- i feel bad for badgering him so much (which you're gonna scoff at but it is what it is)

i would vote sleepless to ensure a wagon goes thru eod fwiw

pedit fair enuf

I see now, 2911. That will suffice, sorry skitter.

And you already restated it, doubly sorry.

Do you feel midway will be harder to read than Sleepless Assassin in the longrun?

VOTE: midwaybear
caveat for this is that i need him to claim prior to deadline since he's higher up in the draft, if that doesn't look likely i'm switching back

You've spoken about this as a practical matter, end-all ban on voting not-you & not-flow.

For the sake of humoring us, can you discuss your actual reads on the slot instead, without a necessity to vote them today attached?

You give two lines on midway, utilizing one quote, in your initial wall suggesting he is town for feeling solvey. The readwall in 1860 mentions going back and forth; this does not make it into your ISO elsewhere.

For Cakez, you don't weigh in at all in the initial wall. In the 1860 readswall, you mention that he seems town for his posts. The only other post that weighs in on Cakez is 2928, which again seems to be very vague and tonal. At one point you also mention never seeing him as scum, and 2578 just gives a brief "still town" read without further explanation.
You just referenced my answer to your own question. Midway I was lightly scumreading early on but came around and now say town. Sircakez has always been a weaker town read.

I've actually never played with flow trap.

Yes it cooled significantly. You're correct.

They can be useful after a scum flip if you can pinpoint who was resisting.

You know he is a coinflip because the spammy/jokey posts you are citing as the primary reason to scumread him has been repeatedly affirmed to be his meta and NAI at worst. One player you have gone out of your way to interact with and clearly respect deeply has cited it as a towntell for flow trap.

None of this has deterred you.

I am determined to see you flip.

Look at midways handling of the two wagons.

He had a gut town read on flow, saw the wagon and went "meh maybe I could vote there" but stuck to the gut read and voted me instead. That's a natural thought process. That's not scum with an agenda.

ugh idk upon further reflection if midway is town this is a bad idea

That's not even my thought process. I don't townread flow anymore.

scum can fake whatever thought process they want if both you and flow are town

and if flow is town isn't that a great excuse to posture around ultimately voting you?

@Sleepless sorry if I sound frustrated at you. Your insistence on wanting to die just makes me think you are scum faking it lol

I'm just saying the trajectory flows. I can see where you land on me instead of the guy your gut had as town early on.

I'm taking a break to focus on collating the ISO from Sleepless. I'll review Midway and Datisi later.

In a perfect world, we eliminate flow, he flips scum, and I get cleared by a power role and carry us to back to back scum eliminations for a town win.
