I'm not to sure what exactly you want me to evaluate.
It reads to me like clashing townies who just have different ways of approaching the game and don't necessarily have similar reads. It's best if you try to understand how/why Vedith is getting to his positions and reads (vice versa too), instead of arguing over methods.

I don't know why
Dann
-scum would be content with having
Urist
as an IC.
That's essentially grounds to validate suspicion on
Dann
based off
Urists'
read, or an argument to make that happen.
It looks too easy.

I'm not arguing with him.
I don't like how I've been portrayed as being forceful or aggressive.
I'm TRYING to understand him.
Why is
Vedith
town to you?

I'm pretty sure Dann-scum would be more than content to IC the partner of the most scumread player in the game.

oh jesus I'd mentally repressed that
I guess that's fair? I don't really agree that I played similarly and i'd question using marathon meta in general, but that seems like a natural read progression to me so I'm fine with that explanation

So are you suggesting
Gamma
is the most scumread player? If so, I don't agree.

Why is Vedith town to you?
I don't mean to portray you as that either, I just mean you guys have very different styles and they're clearly clashing.
I had Vedith as an early town-lean for his behavior and attitude towards the start of the game, but that kinda waned with time as he disappeared as soon as he got a match and refused to participate anymore.
He's reassured me by coming back now with reads and analysis. Also, I don't think he's joking about suiciding when he says he scum reads Fire and would leave him. Don't think scum backs themselves into that corner when trading 1 for 1 for FB of all players isn't worth.

I'm keeping it very general. It's mostly your tone, how comfortable you are talking about mechanics, how much you try to pocket townies and point out towny things for towncred, how incisive your points are. This is the kind of thing I was townreading you for but it seems like you are equally capable of it as scum.

You don't think so? Who's more widely scumread?

Or who WAS at the end of pre-dance, I should say.

Well, their flips would assuredly improve my perception of the game.
I'm not confident that both
Vedith/Fire
are town/town, and I'll be a bit annoyed if they are.
I don't think
Vedith
was necessarily clashing with me, I interpreted it as him deflecting attention from his analysis.
4402 -
4407 -
4413 and 4414 -
4418 *sigh*
I thought I made myself extremely clear in
4393 but I don't think that's been acknowledged.

I think you and DT had good amounts of suspicion. Maybe you less so towards the end. I just don't remember Gamma be singled out as top scum read, I should go back and reread some stuff.

NVM to what I said earlier about Brie
Just double checked and RC had gone back to thinking she was town

The only scum/scum pair he has consists of who the IC pushed the most Pre-Dance. (Urist on Dann)
His townread on me is least understated or understood out of the entire playerlist since the strongest townreads on me are meta based and we haven't played before to my memory.
I mean Vedith should try to explain his reads, and I think he said he'd address them once he got to a computer, so we can wait for that.
I do think you're both being tripped up a bit because Vedith's play style is much more focused on find scum than find town

He could've waited to get on his computer and reply to my initial post in the first place.
whatever, I'm going to take a break from the thread.

As my friend told me in the PT.

Urist had Dann as his top scumread, like this makes no sense to me.

1 - I already stated this

I have made it clear this was pre dance reads and that I am unsure on Nancy now.
However, if I think Scum I want to discuss with her opinions to learn the motives and see if I'm wrong.
People who don't interact with their Scum reads aren't trying to sort Scum in my opinion.
And I proved I do this with my interaction with Ank when I Scum read her.
Im not sure what this matters because I'm leaving the dance shortly.
Nice one trying to twist everything I said though and ignoring the main comments I'm making.

FYI each set IS ordered by towniest at the top except weaker townreads, which is ordered by recency because recency affects my confidence there.

I can’t advise you on who to vote for, when I am still trying to decide that myself. I’m probably going to sheep my strongest townreads that I seem to be mindmelding the most with, on reads.

Again, worm is null.
I didn't say we have the exact reads. But Worm should be considered a lynch to anyone not town reading PB because worm is playing in character and character only.
