Not sure if I lack reads because I'm distracted -- having a weird af day today friends -- or because of the nonmemorable names.
Gentleman 3 is now Crowman. I can do Dawn and Misty. Is Lady 9's avatar Celeste? Lady 2 can be... Eyes? 7 will just have to be 7, hope no one else is a number.
Valid point. I don't know why I posted that.In post 59, Lady 7 wrote:In post 52, Lady 4 wrote:

Is this a real thoight?
Do you think people routinely point out a post that bugged them and need an answer supplied to them?
I mean posts do bug me sometimes and I don’t know why, but still this reaction feels weird.
I have a bad habit of butting into conversations. I'll try to stop.- Lady 4

By the way, I was serious about my town read on Lady 7. Just off the first page she immediately comes off as much more carefree and unconcerned about self-image in her tone. Dawn's memey posting seems a lot more forced by comparison. Lady 5/Dawn why did you ignore #30?
Misty can join my early early town leans too.
I think overall her posting has been forced and that post in particular was too concerned with how people view her slot. Townies can read like that sometimes but it's more often a scum trait,In post 51, Gentleman 3 wrote:

Maybe not deliberately, but yes, I think small things like that affect people. I also think that avatars play into reads on a subconscious level.In post 89, Lady 7 wrote:

The use of smileys isn’t alignment indicative. That wasn’t even part of the critique.
At least one person mentioned it.- Lady 4

Possibly. And I can see the latter as appeasing.In post 97, Lady 9 wrote:
I would think the smiley's would be a pre-decided roleplay quirk regardless of alignment. The potentially AI part was the asking if the quirk bothered anyone.In post 94, Lady 4 wrote:

The more significant part of 75 was that I think their posts are town aside from this issue anyhow.- Lady 4

@Lady 9 (My nicknames aren't going to stick, are they? I'm getting used to it.)
You may hate this, as you seem like an analytical player, but I buy these as genuinely at ease posts. Specifically, 21 and 24, and now 84 as well. I like 106 too, as the tonal slip speaks of someone who's not overthinking their posts.- Lady 4

You can interpret it however you like. It doesn't seem like I'm going to be able to reach you right now anyway. It's not a great sign in my mind for this going well that you were also bothered by defensiveness, which I'm likely going to continue to do and which I feel is a poor excuse for a reason in general.In post 200, Gentleman 6 wrote:I even had the exact same townread on Lady 5 that you did. What I had an issue with was how you presented that read to everyone, you took several posts to do it and never said anything about it.
I would have interpreted it in a townier way if you had either said you had a gut townread there or if you had said something with more substance, but I felt you gave a completely empty answer.
I'm not trying to go after them. It's not really much of a scumread. I just don't think the consensus townreads she was getting at the start are justified, and I'm bothered by Lady 2's statement that she groups them in with Lady 9, who I feel is much townier.In post 200, Gentleman 6 wrote:And regarding Lady 7, it's not the fact that it's your only scumread that's the problem it's that you're going after the person who called you out earlier.
The fact that I'm facing a ton of resistance on this scumread, a major part of it from the slot that I thought was second most likely to be scum, doesn't help my feelings on it either.
I'm not sure this is "a ton of resistance."- Lady 4

This post is good enough for a weak townread from me for now.In post 345, Lady 1 wrote:@L2: Because this strategy requires cooperation, it can't be left until later since people will probably start pairing badly which will lead to suicides. I appreciate you repeating them for me. I'm also getting distracted by interacting with people currently instead of rereading on a bigger screen.
@G2: yeah let's avoid suiciding. If you're a cassandra, show that off now with sorting out good pairings
I scoped out all of the players because I was interested in what people were doing. You can still find profiles even if someone hasn't posted, using the member list. Lady 6 does not have an avatar.In post 339, Lady 9 wrote:Can you elaborate on this, how do you know that they had avatars early?
This seems like a nothing question. I mean if you're interested in how to view their profiles sure, but sounded like you were trying to get a read off my method somehow.
@L2 It is entirely based on that one post you made. I'll go grab it so I can articulate why.- Lady 4

While scum would be, if anything, more likely to have this thought process, I feel they would be less likely to post it. This successfully came off as real for me. And yes, there is a risk to attempting this type of post for scum. Poorly executing it could torpedo them.In post 244, Lady 2 wrote:Fair. I probably wouldn't like me either, and I know it, and it's really gnawing at me. Something isn't gelling. I want to be engaging here. Like genuinely I do. But it's not working, apparently. Like it's apparent even to me that I'm trying to say something but I get passed right by, like a ghost. Maybe it's posting while working, here and there, while other people are managing to have actual back-and-forth conversations.
These would be some easily places to buck the trend without looking weird. Liked that that opportunity was passed on. Also, think taking note of G4's antics at all is positive, I was thinking along similar lines at one point though arrived at a NAI conclusion. My sole quibble is that townreading as many gentlemen as possible seems strong for a scum lady.Oh, G4 also kind of lower bracket. Actually scratch that, I like him taking the offered mantle as Town leader. That's actually quite fine. Same with early offer. Actually even better. I saw the jokey pizza post and was wondering how long that shtick would take to play out. Moving fast on an offer was a strong Town move, like he stepped up to the plate and then actually delivered. Good choice of initial offer, too. L3 was in early but did and said little. G4's offer will offer some focus in a new direction.
I do actually like the broad strokes of the treanding-towards-consensus reads I'm seeing. I actually like all the active gentlemen fairly well, G3, G4, and G6 all Townleaning for me.- Lady 4

I was suggesting that it's possible scum might be looking to attack on points that are not significant. Don't take this as me suspecting you, merely pointing out that G4's posts on the subject were nonsense.In post 490, Gentleman 3 wrote:
I mean, that post was in reference to me saying that "I'm no longer sure" isn't a common phrasing, so unless you think I knowingly lied about that to make G6 look bad and thought nobody would call me on it, then that interaction would go exactly the same way regardless of my alignment.In post 395, Lady 4 wrote:I can easily think of a way G3 could be coming from a scum mindset here.- Lady 4

I'll try to sort this out for my own benefit.
It doesn't read like looking for clarification, mostly because of the ellipses. So at minimum I can't blame him for taking it the way he did.In post 503, Gentleman 3 wrote:I mean I think it's pretty clear-cut?
I ask for clarification in 350
G6 calls my questioning bad and heavily implies that it's scummy in 354 and 356
It comes off as an attack and I'm having difficulty believing you can't see that.I defend my question by telling G6 that he shouldn't be ambiguous in 362- Lady 4

I don't agree with any of the pairing Lady 5 is doing. Particularly putting G2 with L7, but also all of it.
@G2: I'm a little concerned that's a waste of L9, but it isn't horrible.
As for myself, I honestly don't think any of the gentlemen who have posted much will make a good partner for me, except possibly for 6 who will surely not want me. I hope 7 or 8 turn out to be my type. I should've known people who mesh well with me would also be more likely to choose to be ladies.- Lady 4

Spicy. Will you be keeping us in suspense as to why? I trust you enough at the moment to be fine with that if so.In post 631, Gentleman 6 wrote:Eh if I'm outing that I might as well out both of my reads.
I think that L7-L9 associatives look extremely likely to be SvS.
I think that L7 independently is the scummiest slot in the game right now.
Given that these are very unpopular reads my goal was to simply let town do what they want for a while and if we don't end up flipping scum to leave the dance with 9 and an explanation why later.- Lady 4
