Half way done, Midwaybear actually looks like vanilla town.
It was probably there in alisae’s game.In post 539, SirCakez wrote:Ok I will keep an eye out for strange uncomfortable-ness!In post 523, Tammy wrote:Maybe?
I guess it depends on my mood? I don’t know? Maybe not.
I’m really uncomfortable with people town reading me when I’m scum though and uncomfortable calling myself town when I’m scum because I feel like everyone can tell the difference between when I’m goofing around and meaning it as town and saying it when I’m scum because I say it when I’m town.
So, I don’t know but it doesn’t matter because I’m not scum this time!

Not even comparable.
If Cabd and I were in a neighborhood, our convos would be a lot easier! And my regularly scheduled paranoid freakout might happen considerably earlier than day 3. But, this is about as friendly as we get when we're not sharing a role PM. Which is QUITE friendly compared to when I'm actively suspicious of him. That's the kind of mafia friendship we have.In post 548, Bell wrote:Correct@ FF.In post 3, midwaybear wrote:lets solve this game
To me, town blocking is just another word for working together and sharing thoughts on who's scum/town in a more relaxed setting/communication style. There's a layer of friendliness that usually isn't present. Kind of like what you and Cabd don't have yet, while SYR and you in that neighborhood did. It's not just hunting though it's sort of just a positive, hey we're in this together vibe that I don't think you'd be able to fake easily given what you act like when you actually think someone else is town.
Irl or in game, cos those are very different answers
Which would make me an excellent excorsict! I know how to get demons out of any possessed bean!In post 555, Gamma Emerald wrote:Don’t you yourself profess to be a demon?In post 532, Jake The Wolfie wrote:Oooh, I can do an exorcism!

I like Cabd’s approach to Jake though.

@Hi Tammy, hating your life yet, or feelin it?
Oh that’s right, I went back and checked my iso that game. I scum read you the whole time.In post 553, Gamma Emerald wrote:Omg Tammy is so town!In post 502, Tammy wrote:Omg Tammy is so town would be a good response!
This is actually a bit serious. Referencing the anon dance again, she reminds me of how she played as Lady 7 in that game.
Just opening up a line. How're you feeling? You said you didn't like the pace of this game, is there anything I could do to help you in that regard?
Sorry, didn't realize you wanted a response! I sort of just nodded along and agreed but never stated as such? You also didn't actually engage a read on ME in this post per say but guessing that's intentional!In post 403, Tammy wrote:A few quick thoughts while I'm on a break.In post 227, Cabd wrote:Hi Tammy, I have expressed read(s), do you agree with those read(s) or no, and why?In post 224, Tammy wrote:okay it's late and almost page 10 which means my internal mafia clock says it's time to start making serious posts too
I don't wanna
It's srsbsns time!
I don't really have reads I feel close to comfortable right now or thoughts that probably really go anywhere. I mourn pre-2015 me who got early reads, but I've been so much more cautious since that scum streak from hell.
Anyway, I have liked midwaybear's approach in general and have no issues with him so far. I particularly like him tonally. There was a post where someone asked him why he was grumpy and he just said something like this was him or how he plays or something. And that had a much better tone than the wooden response he had whenever he was called scum in FGO. So, not enough for me to go oh hey yeah he's town, but I like him enough that I have no qualms with it.
I liked ffer's response to your questions about reads when she said me ~reasons. I don't know how scum ffery would approach a town you, but I'm thinking about how she approached me the last time she was scum and it was a kinda flat fake paranoia that rang all wrong. (I was scum reading her predecessor and she was hydraing with nacho who purple prose scum told in his beginning, so I was already wary so that could be some confirmation bias.). I think scum ffery wouldn't be expecting that you would be town reading her, though she might have to respond that way because that's how she would as town? The way you guys are lady and the tramping it suggests you both are town reading each other decently, and I'm still in watching that play out mode.
I'm cautiously optimistic on ffery there and I'm in a similar position with Syry. I don't expect syr to fold faster than a player with. 2 7 off suite with pressure anymore; I think his scum game has come a long way since when we were partners. But I do know that he would hate to draw scum here, and with that knowledge I like his entrance so far. I was a little concerned with the super strong town read on ffery so quickly, but syry is like that? So, maybe sryr and I will dance later and I'll feel better later. These two reads are my crux; cautiously optimistic at the moment but I also really want them both to be town and I know that which might be making me feel even more cautious about the optimism.
As an aside because I now have to run. Think ffery expected petapan to come into the game as assassin going hard, but peta just seems like peta to me.

@Hi Tammy, hating your life yet, or feelin it?
But feelin every thing else!
I would have melted into a puddle of pure terror if I hadn't had Cabd's spine to borrow. I'm a high maintenance hydra partner when we roll scum. And sometimes when we roll town.In post 564, Bell wrote:Just opening up a line. How're you feeling?

@FF, that must have taken a lot of will power. But I was worried you would say that you actually had managed that.
I think I want to be in the moment with you and the other players and see what happens.

am I doing it right peta?
glad to see peta's "obvious townread" was the one i also felt was obvious (midwaybear)! unless he got bear town after he made that earlier post about having one townread which was obvious.
kinda liked 216. alisae is slightly leaning town at this point.
and now im at page 10!
Bell I love you but please make me feel good in this game and not feel good about the completed oneIn post 570, Bell wrote:don't apologize for confusing me about your neighborhood. I was wrong that Syrana protected me, so I thought you would have a hard town read of me if you were masons, but if you were neighbors I thought he might hesitate to share his role with you. There was some hesitation but it turned out you guys had run 15 miles in your neighborhood and I thought you had run 2 or maybe 3 miles at most.

I just hated that we had 15 pages in what, 4 hours? I was put on high alert for a potentially long and arduous game, and as I mentioned earlier I swore I’d play this game through, since FG was concerned about how flaky I’d been in the past. I wanted to curtail that by the means I had available at the time.In post 564, Bell wrote:Just opening up a line. How're you feeling?

What about that post makes this a good idea
