You kept on saying it was bad and blown out of proportion but now it is townie?

Feel my wrath.

And now you weren’t gonna switch your vote to profii “just now”, you wanted to get egix to talk on it first, but my post prompted you to do just that.

I'm not 'posturing' to do anything, I'm trying to figure out where Egix's head is at wrt to his profii townread.

People were asking me why I felt that way, and when I made the vote, that was how I felt at the time. My opinions can change over time and I think this is pretty clear in that the read was starting to turn around.

I didn't move my vote bc A) I thought profii had like 5 votes on him which is why I didn't want to switch until I saw the VC and that's where I would've moved my vote and B) There wasn't a better place other than that to move it to imo.

And where did I ever imply that I didn't intend on switching my vote? Egix is townreading profii so why would I need him to clarify his townread on profii in order for me to vote for profii, who I am currently scumreading.

I’m still happy with my Profii vote - there’s nothing about his play thus far that makes me think he’s Town.
Based on this reasoning, what makes profii a better play over EV, Looker, Wimpy?
That’s not my only reasoning for scumreading Profii - I mentioned the other reasons previously.

Mostly for post 56 which felt a little exaggerated and forced to me. Followed by your immediate retraction about two minutes later. To me it read like 'oh shit I said something that might be perceived as scummy better retract it real quick.'

It's not a strong read tbh but it's a start.
I like this thought-process, I think Frost is Town.
You already had him as town, why did you go back to 133 in your thread reading?
I was reading back through the thread and felt like elaborating on my earlier read.

I've also responded to your cases so
So you haven’t really been observing them.

(1) What in Looker's post above are you referencing as wearing their heart on their sleeve? (2) Have you played with Looker before?


You stated in 162 that you voted for profii because of his JTB vote post, and provided your reasoning in 214 that it was because it assigned AI to a NAI opinon:
In post 162, Chara wrote: Egix: i was wondering why you were concerned about what seemed to be two of many random votes flying around, but it does look like you had a reason. i voted profii for , mainly.

In post 214, Ame wrote:@Chara what didn't you like about profiis jtb vote?
that it assigned an alignment to an NAI opinion about day 1. even if saying "first scum" sounds like an exaggeration/joke from profii. not the biggest thing but as i still haven't found anything else to chew on i'm fine with it, and profii's posting in general doesn't have townvibes so far. it's really not a big read, but since i didn't elaborate before i get why you're asking.
But you agreed with his reasoning here:

It's not fair on all the other players
+1
i'm fine with day 1 because the first step for me in understanding how to read someone is getting a feel for how they play and think.
(3) Could you clarify.

(4) What do you think of JTB's scum reads?
(5) What do you think of Aaron's play so far and the contradiction I mentioned above (and am going to subsequently respond to)?

2: i have not.
Where did you get his gender from?

In 169 you stated that you were caught up but skimmed and would begin isoing. Later in 175 you confirmed a town read on Aaron. (1) Presumably, you went through his iso at this point, yes?

Over two new pages were produced by the time of your next post, 234. Again, 175 indicates that you were caught up with the thread up to 175, or at least with Aaron up to that point. (2) What prodded you in 234/235 to go back and review pre-175? I presume you had not yet caught up with the 2 new pages because in 237 you stated that you were unaware of Alchemist's post on the previous page. (3) Is this presumption correct?

It's just curious to me that you read back through something you had already read back through and formed a solid opinion on, while there was new content available that you had not yet caught up on.

Profii, would love if you could clarify whether the first post was RVS or you were actually scum reading him for saying that?

I actually changed my mind on Egix and think he's town. It's hard for me to fathom that he'd actively defend villager profii here against my and chara's votes knowing that at some point in the game, he'd have to explain that defence, especially because it's his first form of contribution and it stands out.

Lowkey tending to town read Eevee as well. Lurkers are usually under the mindset that they will lie somewhere in the PoE and will be a suspect regardless, so what I'm looking for here is some form of posting that speaks from the mindset of "Look, I might not be here a lot, but when I am I really do stuff", some form of self-awareness.

Eevee seems to be more like a town lurker, mainly because she (/he ?) doesn't care about what she posts when she comes in the thread. It's like, I see a post, I react to it, I pop out, shrug. There's not really an agenda of trying to look like she's doing too much work in order to get town read.

Hope that makes sense.

I’m having a change of heart on Frost, based on his reaction to Insomnia’s pressure which comes across as appeasement. I also agree that his Insomnia SR seemed a bit faked in that he doesn’t really do anything with it and just coasts on it for a while until he is pressured into jumping off. And thirdly I agree that it looks as though he had been positioning himself to vote Profii for some time before he did so.

I guess the same can be said about JB. It takes some massive balls as a lurker on day one to post like that and maintain consistency. The fact that he's not trying to get town read by interacting in the thread and acting all friendly and stuff to other people is townie. He's just pushing whatever he finds relevant.

I think on Day one it's important to establish a block of people you're gonna lynch and people that you're not gonna lynch.

That block of people I am more than happy to lynch looks like this :

profii/aaron/alchemist

If I were being selfish I’d prefer to leave Frost for D1 as I have a perfect record in reading him correctly, but it usually takes a while to get there.

I still think Profii has a good chance of flipping scum - I’m just not seeing any real intent to find scum from him and it really is of stark contrast to my previous game with him when he was Town.

I'm getting townvibes from Ame, not sure I like the naked vote on me with no explanation though. Luca's vote is much worse though and I think I'm leaning scum there currently.

The difference is I was openly agreeing with Insomnia, whereas you were accusing him of something he had already admitted himself?
