You shouldn't put us in the same pool because Isis doesn't want to be friends :(

Sorry, but you’re both probably town this game and it’s a shame she can’t see it.

These days, definitely scum, if I’m able to participate. Town if I have trouble participating, because I find when I have trouble participating as scum it 99% of the time will lead to my elimination.

So basically when you have free time you prefer to be scum and when you don’t you prefer to be town?

I tried making a read list but it's so hard. I can't decide who I like and dislike. Like I like Ydrasse but her flip on me is so weird!!! And I like Morning but I keep getting weird feelings of paranoia from her positioning and non confrontational nature. Same with Farren he does some good solving but sometimes it just looks fake in a way.
If I had to do it just based on my leafy gut.

Isis

Morning Tweet
Bell
Farren

GuiltyLion
Ydrasse
Gamma

Dunnstral

That looks so wrong but whatever.

Seems to crave interaction. Kind of nervous when things aren’t happening like he can’t quite get a grip on the game in such a way I Think he’d be unable to emulate As scum.

If you think of "unfiltered" as genuine, then this is understandable.

I'm thinking about if I should omgus you or not.
i mean, for the most part the way that you voted + the weird way you described it made me vote you; it seemed super out of place in comparison to what you were posting. i'm not convinced completely that you're scum but seeing that made me go !!!! in a bad way.

why do you feel like you have to announce it like that tho?
I wasn't really satisfied by this Ydrasse! Could you explain it a little more than just feelings? I'm trying to understand why you thought it was scummy even after my explanations.

tea leaves, where do you think that farren looks fake? i know you mentioned an example of it at least once before but is it just the tonal thing still that makes you kinda of unsettled more than anything else?

p-edit: let me look over and see what grade you gave me

In post 104, GuiltyLion wrote:@clidd - I think the couple of issues I have with Farren are that a few of his questions don't seem likely to advance the game in a useful way and are either blendy or stirring things - mainly 20 and 72. I also think the soft defense of Ydrasse may be a WK
Purpose of 20 - an excuse for engaging clidd, specifically. I think I'm going to need extra interactions with him to be able to read him properly.
Purpose of 72 - I didn't like the confidence level that implied - at least if the post was sincere. But I did like the ... brashness, I guess? I was trying to figure out a way to divorce the two, figure out which is more indicative. Based on Gamma's answer, I'd say the brashness - which is a small plus.

As far as defending Ydrasse goes: describing her as "Friendly" was not a defense. It was more a probe on Menalque to see if he was advocating for "Friendly = Scummy," - which he was not. The only other post - - yes, that's a small plus to Ydrasse, as it's something I'd noticed as well. Why would you think that constitutes white knighting?

In post 119, Morning Tweet wrote:So if I'm getting this right, you asked clidd the question about his opening in 20 with the explicit purpose of getting extra interactions with him?

And not just that, but describing Ydrasse as friendly was actually to see whether or not Mena was equivocating friendly with scummy.

...i wish i had that much direction in my opening posts
Cold and calculating is how I play. At least up until something clicks and I go full-bore Inquisitor. Usually coincides with becoming conf-town, if and when that happens. One of the reasons I prefer Open or semi-Open setups, and part of the reason I signed up to play this setup in particular.

Nope. As much as I would have enjoyed conspiring with you, I definitely breathed a sigh of relief when I saw the reroll.
This was stuff that I found fake early on. I gotta run so this'll have to do!

It’s not the bop it’s that when ydresse got heat you came in with a hard town read.
It has two explanations one is just that she’s topical.
Other is to shift off the weight.

fmpov, the way you positioned dunn and farren as your scumreads and then chose to vote the one who DIDN'T have a wagon on him at the time seemed to me as if it was an effort to divert/split pressure between people. i didn't understand why you would choose to place a vote that would not accomplish a lot versus the pressure of putting dunn on a heavier wagon while also poking/prodding at farren? it seemed like a move someone would make where they want to look like they're busy when they're not.

in general you do these little things like post "thinking about if i should omgus or not" which seem performative. i don't get the need to announce stuff like that specifically instead of just.. doing it?

so basically just a lot of stuff that looks busy but i don't think has a motivation to get stuff done.

It's natural, at least when I'm writing.

The question with me is never, "am I filtering what I say?" The answer to that is always "yes," regardless of my alignment or even if I'm in a Mafia game at all.

The question is, "how much am I filtering what I say?" Picture it as a dial with no off position. The best it can get is "Low."

Bop was wrong way of putting it. More like.. people expecting me to hard TR my partner and try n save them two times in a row

The reason I chose Ydrasse was cause i was putting it off despite having her close to the bottom of my reads and a lot of ppl wanting her. I was like "yah that sounds fine" but i didn't actually do the work n review her posts

^^^see this kind of post is what makes me think she isn’t sorting people. She just states her opinion and doesn’t really invite challenges minus those question marks. She also focuses on one view and doesn’t try to consider other possibilities. It’s narrow
