Locke and Boone found a hatch in the island and dug it up, though it was sealed shut. In a trying time, Locke spoke to the island on top of the hatch, and a light went on inside, giving him hope.

Me, I'm a town read.

There I read myself as town now no one can question the validity of my reads!

Its early, I have some feelings but not ones I think are worth sharing. Just to help ground to what I see. I believe the majority of posts people make aren't alignment indicative by themselves. I'll usually key in on one or two posts or a body of work. I haven't seen anyone post anything I'm looking for yet to help decide alignment, and it's too early for body of work.

I named Rad town to cool off what I felt was momentum against them. I have an impulse to try and protect people from railroading early on.

Can you explain what my theory is in your own words, and why you don't think scum can?
To TBone - in the simplest terms, unless I'm misunderstanding you, your theory is that they have faked a posting restriction, no?

I don't think that it inherently can't come from scum - it just strikes me as a theory that's more likely to come from town trying to think things through and coming up with unique ideas and suggestions as to how other players are approaching the game.

I also don't want to cause that's not a fun thing to do. If the restriction is actually real then we'd just be dicks about it and that would make an unfun restriction even more unfun. The obligation is on them to not hide behind the post restriction at this point. We don't have any obligation to do anything about them at this stage.

This is a weird thing, but I kinda mindmeld with Malcolm with myself in a different game.

Makes me feel better about calling Malcolm town.

Also, does make me feel better about T-Bone too.

I think both ways of handling it are viable options, I think the best argument you put forth is that we don't have any obligation to do anything about them at this stage, and the obligation is currently on them to contribute the best they can and not hide behind the post restriction.

I think proving post restriction does nothing, waste of time and therefore nothing prevents mafia from having this restriction and abusing it anyway, so it proves nothing.

Now can we chop Frog, thanks.

So 17 pages have happened since I went to work.

That's always nice. Got some reading to do. Or not. See how I feel.

That's a correlation != causation. It's players who aren't getting townread by myself or my townreads. I'm hoping a few of those players will say more and get ruled out.
Who values a townread from scum?

UNVOTE:

@rad, this is going to sound a bit rude, but I really don't mean it to - I think you are displaying a bit more personality/confidence here, which I'm correlating with your success/pride at the newbie. I did wonder if the 'flair' was scummy, but the main body of your interactions with people, especially around the frog thing, seemed town.

Someone asked about ceph, I'm mainly sheeping klick here.

Enchant is purely a meta read. They are very different to how they were in a recent completed game where people wanted them correctly limned by about page five.
