That's fine, I'm just hoping to show her that my perspective can in fact come from town.

Can you remind me why you do townread him?

vibe/pressence/engagement

If this is to me, I’m trying to parse Norwee, otherwise I wouldn’t have said anything.

I’m now super paranoid and doubting everything. If both Norwee and Titus are scum here, I’m going to be really upset. When your getting multiple people jumping on you, you scream desirable pocket. :/

What I gathered from reading the pages till now from my last post is that anyone that townreads Harley is apparently trying to pocket her.

It is also kinda funny that SS was accusing me of not researching before saying something yet his whole thing about me solving could be disputed by just reading anything I have posted that doesnt contain a gif.

I mean you might disagree with the effort I put in solving but it is solving nonethless.

The only reason I thought it could be scum-indicative is because I had a hard time following why you switched to feeling good enough about him to propose to him.

Because I know you scumread him earlier, and in your proposal post you said (1) you liked his posts while you were sleeping, with no elaboration and (2) if he was scum he'd be hard pressed to keep up with you which isn't actually a reason to townread him (maybe you townread him if he accepts but I think based on his earlier posting and the pressure on him waning he was likely to accept no matter what).

So I guess can you explain how your read on him shifted between when you thought he was scum and when you proposed to him?

I don't believe I ever actually argued that you didn't solve, only that you claimed you hadn't solved at all. And when I called it out you gave me this incomprehensible response.

I think it was initially because that’s when both Titus and Norwee locktowned me. I thought it was super obvious I was already town but if they’re both scum then I was obviously very wrong about that.

Shiro, I think I might need to steal Taly’s hug. :/

I know how much you freak out internally when you're scum, I don't find it hard to imagine why scum-you might not want to be in a PT (in which you already promised you would be very active) with one of the best scumhunters of all time, even if she townread you at the moment.

@SS
To explain, generally my solving is like you see here and Imostly create townreads then PoE, now once in a while I will find something that strikes or pings me hard and pursue it intensly, make a case even. Which hasnt happened here.

What I meant with depends on how you view it was more like if you consider what I do to be solving or just skating by.

Have a different hug

I guess. This post just feels like you're agreeing with Datisi that you weren't really being solvey, but maybe I misunderstood it?

mmm, i guess. it was the first example that came to mind, i don't exactly feel like spending my time going back and trying to figure out what scum!me's plans would have been there if xyz

anyway, i have submitted my paper more than 12 hours before deadline, response coming shortly

This just feels like a waste of time at this point, scum won. Whatever.
I give up, but FYI Marci wanted to post something maybe. At least she said so in PT. But for my case i wouldn’t really care if i was limmed right now.

Norwee, what do you think of GL?

a response to 3610:

i actually remember that, the night before i proposed to gl, as i was falling asleep, i came up with the idea of "if he doesn't keep up with me in the pt, he's going to die". like, yes i fully admit it did take me some time to realize that is a thing that is possible, as up until then i was solely thinking of the pairs as a static, binary "i can read this person right now or i cannot". and that also gave me some willingness to finally pair up, since i was lowkey treating the pairing up as some sorta lylo hammer. and i realized there's no reason to be putting that kind of pressure on myself that was just making me not enjoy the game.

so, during my night he posted 1562, 1600, 1620, which were kind of what i was looking for. i know town!gl is very capable of thorough analysis, and up to that point it felt like he was kind of just hinting at it and not really *showing* it. so i liked the two read-analysis-y posts here. also, the post on why he's not pocketing me just kinda, made sense to me i guess? i often ask things like that because i feel like it's a thing i tremendously struggle to answer as scum, especially when i'm specifically pocketing someone. and while i know he's not me, i also expected there's gonna be some sorta gut feeling of "oh no" if he was bullshitting, and there wasn't. and also i decided that his play around me was townie, because yeah, i doubt he'd go from fear-killing me n1 to outright wanting a pt when i am well aware how much of a sweaty tryhard he is as town. and his reasons for townreading me also made sense so

you're right that i wasn't putting too much thought into placing myself in an endgame pairing. while i surely wanted my partner to be townread, i also knew that i'm very prone to getting paranoid, and "endgame pairing" isn't really worth anything if i'm just going to paranoia-leave last minute. so priority was to get a partner i think i can read rather than a partner that the rest of the game is townreading. your interpretation is pretty much correct, it was the point where i both (1) thought he was townie enough to propse to and (2) realized there is hope in me correcting my read if it's wrong now

Yeah sorry . Got the message already, no need to rub it in. I already explained my reasoning. I will not say anything about it further.
