the town bloc has been disbanded due to lack of interest from una/bella in working with me. i hope one day to win them over and make the scum sweat.

a collation of my reads + some commentary on slots i haven't spoke much about, presented in a much more traditional format - a spectrum;






- speculative intuitive read based on how they've interacted with me


- 3rd/4th vote on the first early town wagon have higher amounts of scum. this is the main data point against him, but have been warming to his recent postings.
- a mystery to me, but have found their posts fresh and amusing. i want to keep them around for comedic relief and town morale until i learn more about them.
- had him as town early based on one post, but has since faded. i'm generally okay with reading people based off singular posts that read well, but at a certain point, body of work becomes more important, and popo has a feeling of active lurking about him.
- breezes in and out of the game in ways i feel suspicious of. but he was like this as town last game.


- i keep changing my mind about this slot, but if there's scum off my wagon - he's one of them. challenged me in post 502, then didn't jump on the hoopla bandwagon when it was taking off, despite throwing shade there. has been quiet/only posted about sujimichi's slot during my speedwagon. looks as if he's taken the approach of contributing to the whispers of hoopla-paranoia, then sitting back watching it happen to preempt getting blood on his hands from my mis-execute.

i haven't looked too in depth at associations of the slots i'm suspicious of. i'm sure there are probably some combos within it that are unlikely.

but this is roughly where i'm at.

Notsci, didn't you say something about ice cream? Can we do that now? Maybe a double butter brickle?

I resent being townread by Hoopla

I resent double butter brickle also

Good as scum as well. Be wary.

interesting. i saw your town reads post as i was rereading the thread and constructing mine. are you a D1 townhunter? please describe your process.

also, why is flippy town?

No process. They just look like the corner pieces rn.

Flippy's townie on tone. And I like that he took a stance on Dunn.

When are going to take a stance on Dunn?

Sorry, hoops, I don't know if I'm just stupid but I'm still not seeing the reason for declaring that ass-wagon town. It kind of feels like youve made two very long, very similar posts and not ..addressed some of the main issues.

i called it a potentially all-town wagon, which i believed at the time.

i've become less sure of popo and galron since then.

Can you explain why you thought those slots were town? Like, I was literally only strongly town reading Una there....

There’s an ice cream shop next to my restaurant and I haven’t been able to go get some bc The hours I’m working and it makes me sad

I think they have cookies and cream too.

I’m honestly debating reciting hoops

Funny how I'm getting flak for being the 3/4th voter but I'm the only one getting flak for that

Like, you're pointing to two different positions on the wagon but I'm getting flak for both of them and nobody else is

It’s a hard knock life, for dunn

It’s a hard knock life, for dunn

Stead of treated, he gets tricked

Stead of kisses, he gets kicked

It’s a hard knock life

I don’t really get how people think Dunn’s town when all he’s done is complain that people are scumreading him

That's not a fair analysis of my play

VOTE: notscience

bad faith argument

In post 531, Isis wrote:VOTE: Hoopla

Hoopla is who I'd most like to exile.
The way she describes her mens rea with respect having more doubts based on a previous town roll seems like the way mafia would describe the information rather than how town would, even though it's the same information. It's a little bit hard to explain and an intuition thing but it's come up more than one time. I wouldn't be too prideful to deadsheep her if wrong but she's very much front of the pack for me.

In post 639, Isis wrote:These all sounds like delightful knickknacks I will be happy to deadsheep but can't really view as town-indicative in their own right from Hoopla.

In post 671, Isis wrote:I'm caught up.

Hoopla is still acting scummy and I don't want to vote townier people just to be trendy.

I strongly agree with her townread on bob though and found the bob burst town indicative, especially calibrated for bob.

notscience is such a horrible wagon I'm a little nauseated.

notscience doesn't seem to know who the scumteam is.

This read seems particularly lame from Isis

ill try and get back on this today

C'mon now. No need for me to contribute to a L-2 or thereabouts wagon I had just woken up to. I could have acknowledged it, yes, but sigh... It really wouldn't have accomplished anything. You were being sorted without my doing any lifting. Replacement for Sujimichi, on the other hand, was, and is, decidedly not.

Question about this: "popo has a feeling of active lurking about him." What qualifies as active lurking, and is it a bad thing to be an active lurker? I'll give you my view first. I define an active lurker as someone who monitors the thread, and when they see something they want to comment on for whatever reason, they will post and then go back to monitoring the thread. This may come from town or scum. Active lurking is what I do when I am focused on something else, like work, and I haven't been able to devote much to thinking about what's going on in the thread, but I do know, or at least have a general sense of, what's being posted. I'll skim a page or two, and if I see a post directed at me I may Beetlejuice if I'm able to respond, but I don't know that that's inherently a scummy thing to do. It's just practical in my view. What is your definition of active lurking?

Double butter brickle resents Parkay.

Who told me RfS is all the way caught up? Last bit in his iso says he’s only on page 9

I need to read yesterday's posts, beginning with the speed wagon on you. That's pretty much where I was caught up to. Then I will circle round to this. But I will say Klick and Bellaphant sound better to me. Klick more so. I'm not sure who said it, maybe Bella, but something in Klick's tone has changed. But it's been just a couple of days, so maybe not a good sample size yet. I'm also happy that Isis is more active than what she was because I was a bit concerned about her -- just a bit because the end of the game we were just in she kind of trailed off so I thought it may be mbo. I wish flippy and bob would come back. Geraintm too, but it's the weekend. I need to look at this post flurry from bob that people are talking about -- I saw it but don't remember it. Dunnstral's asking me for a read on him, and I'm really going back and forth, which can be viewed as scummy on my part, but it's honest. And there seems to be a number of people who aren't posting much, including me, who need to join the conversation.

There seems to be a lot of bias carried from whatever previous game y'all were involved in. Was that the rebellion game that was discussed earlier?

Yeah it had me klick hoops una flippy bob
