pedit: oh mannn i like u

You've really put me in a conundrum here

just pat me 3.5 times to play it safe

first it was a sorta "mental note to keep my eye on this slot" because i was getting good feels on ico and i know he's a Popular Early Push and i also didn't get green's reason for suspecting him

i didn't really get anything from the whole fakehammer thing because it seems like a pretty easy thing for scum to notice/push and i don't quite Get the townreads over that

and like i can maaaaybe give some vague townpoints for the umlaut take + the "there's scum in dats/s_s/drd" take but that came after the fact so

here is my dum read of green, duckee
can i now have your probably less dum read of green

i liked our early interactions. 369 seemed a fair criticism of my number theory, and had other useful thoughts.

your "secret scumread" on me that you've been mulling over also seems a good sign. i can be a polarising character. one of the ways i rely on reading people early is how they react to my presence d1. quite often scum tend to uncritically suspect me or they'll placate me and throw me in the townbin me. less often, they'll fake a nuanced position on me. perhaps i'm a sucker for when people display they're *actually* thinking about my alignment, but it tends to be a useful tell from my experience.

i don't get your triangle diagram though. the vertical axis is just uncertainty?

Nice

why is the iamausername wagon taking off?

in my eyes, his posting seems in keeping with his usual d1 town meta; low-activity, but offers piecemeal observations, and interesting soundbites.

i suspect his posting style may not jive with this crowd.

hoopla my nuanced read on you is that you are a cake which has 1 candle and shows you are forever 1 year old. Since eternal youth hasn't been invented yet it means your account is controlled by a constantly shifting array of 1 year olds that each spend a year on the account. This also means you are breaking site rules

Also not particularly keen about the gypyx shenanigans. Seems like a particularly confident push over very little. Feels like early scum distancing.

i thought he responded v well to this and it didn't feel like a particularly safe/popular opinion

stayed because the "there is scum on my wagon" + <doesn't even know who is voting him because otherwise he would know that he isn't evicted> = manufactured last words = lying = ?!scum?!

yes excellent

switch back to ico when he realised it wasn't really relevant was good

In post 211, Grumpy Cat wrote:Green Crayons accurately ascertained Gypyx was faking a reaction after being fakehammered. Scum are less likely to take that accusatory route given they have no reason to think town!Gypyx is lying there, and no one else had seen his reaction as fake.

btw i would suspect scum to deny faking it

bc faking it for a reaction to a reaction test is lol

there's a real kind of fluidity/extra layer behind this which both works @ surface and makes a lot of sense when he elaborates; makes me think his reads are Real

criticising my going @ the mechstuff was good

i need to work but his iso is consistently Believable thoughts which aren't interested in going with the grain and i think he has a really high level of fluidity. i can feel him moving through the thread in a way that is intuitive enough i think is pretty hard to fake.

imusername's takes are too selective. Like, he's taking special care to criticise very specific things which he thinks look good to poke at or are reasonable to. The lack of ~feels~ or big picture takes is generally scum-indicative.

kind of but not really. i'm not feeling "certain" about any of my read so far. however, the closer someone is to the "ogofidk" point, the more their slot gives me a headache, is a pain to form a read on, makes me confused, makes me have paranoia, etc, etc. i'm more of an emotion/gut driven player, and it's slots that make me... uneasy? lemme know if i'm explaining it badly.

hoopla. you have experience with username? he's usually like this on day one? actually you said he is, uhhh. okay. cool.

i think that's in keeping with his style. he tends to focus on unique/specific things instead of dropping recycled platitudes.

for example, his commentary (summarised in post 160) about something_smart's strange timing about criticising my "plan" was a good observation.

this sounds like a very mysterious triangle.

i think we're very different players and i hope we're both town because i feel like we could make an interesting dynamic

he's also, liek, ignoring everything that strikes me as interesting & ignoring ppl trying to sort him which is like..

please imagine hoopla is moved like half an inch towards the "town" point on my triangle. i'mma go turn off for a few hours.

hoopla is drifting into the town section of the triangle in my heart

In post 438, Datisi wrote:umlaut, so far my way of reading him has been "does he disremind me of the two scumgames of his that i modded" and the answer was yes and he was town and the answer right now is "no" and i'm aware that doesn't necessarily translate into him being scum but /shrug

Datisi can be town for this actually.

the wifom of "should umlaut be townreading me for this when the last time we played together and were t/t i used that as reasoning for townreading him (before voting him at eod but that's besides the point) and he liked it and therefore i would know he buys that reasoning from me so would theoretically know how to approach him as scum and he shouldn't be awarding me townpoints for it"

maybe i shouldn't be overthinking it

maybe i should

should i?

It's more that how you're reading me in this game is in line with how you read me in general. I concede I don't think I'm done anything way out of the "stuff I could do if I were scum" zone here so if you're reading me accordingly then that matches what I expect town!Datisi to think.

i've come to accept that that's okay on D1.

There is something I dislike about this but I'm not sure how much of it is just that the post ends with a vote on me.

It seems more... apologetic? than I think is called for here, like it could just be omitted and skip right to the part where she says "i like clover, grumpy cat, crayons for town" etc. More talking about herself than talking about other players which is what town should be more interested in doing.

I've kind of liked / vibed with everything username has posted so far so I really don't get what's fueling that wagon.
