I have townpings from Circle and mild scumvibes off Purple's entrance.
I am looking for a partner with a great taste in music and also hopefully very active.
Must like long walks and have a great sense of humor.
Also preferably of town alignment because I don't need to be pocketed in a PT that would not be fun.- Color Blue

I don't think that's how a delayer works.In post 22, Color Orange wrote:I feel like I'd rather leave a town unpaired because even if delayer is anti-town, I'd rather have it in town's hands. I think a good strategy might be to never use it until 2 scum are dead?
I also think it'd be more informative & exciting for us to eliminate the unpaired player.
I do like the way you think about this and think it's more likely to come from town.- Color Blue

I appreciate the effort but there's like no scum reads and it feels kind of robotic almost in the way he is town-reading people for doing fairly minor things.
Also if you townread people who took issue with your entrance, did you make your entrance deliberately scummy on purpose? I'm confused about your thought process there.- Color Blue

which means that some of the early foses on purple were likely scum opportunism

As far as I can tell Triangle this game has made basically one point which is a really odd roundabout TMI accusation on penta.
Still don't really understand Penta's 180 on me, but others seem to believe the logic holds and its right so I guess it can be left be.- Color Blue

The reason I have Star/Diamond as SRs is because I got whiplash reading through Diamond's ISO:
42
Diamond calls out Star for volunteering and taking it backsies - he calls it a bit-LAMISTY
Later however:
259
He more or less makes the same kind of LAMisty appeal.
I do think it's possible he is just fustrated town who feels like he is being frozen out - but the game has barely been running for 2? days so I'm not sure that's something that's genuine.
It feels to me that the game state is still wide open and I think people are happy to mingle and talk - we've only paired 2 players so far.
I guess I think if he's town I just want to give him a big hug.
Maybe even if he's scum I would too? I am a sucker for AtE.- Color Blue

Reading Star's ISO
it just feels like there's not a lot there?
The questions he asks don't feel particularly relevant and I'm not sure where he is going with them.
The comments are just somewhat flat.
The things that he's most interested in is his mech plan for how to deal with the delayer that he talks about in:
141
and
192
I find people who have more enthusiasm for mech rather than sorting to be somewhat scummier.
I didn't like: "Best case scenario however is that today we find at least one scum that is a Shape, make them go solo, and then vote them out to get rid of scum and the Delayer at the same time."
because it kind of states the obvious but I don't see him actually putting the effort in to sort his fellow shapes and come up with an ideal candidate for this.- Color Blue

you can catch scum with bad reasoning just as much as scum with good reasoning

I... kind of hate a lot of these reads. I disagree with the Purple/Green/me/maybe (??) Pentagon (this one is a lot less formed in my head currently but it's how I've felt reading today) reads right now and the disparity of where I'm placing people right now is uh, Concerning.
If I had a pick/wanted to force through one for myself I don't think I'd want to pair with you right now, sorry.
Well I don't expect you to agree with my scumread on yourself but I am happy to talk about purple/green/pentagon

In post 351, Star Shape wrote:Town ping on Circle seems like TMI when all they did at that point was post a song and offer mech talk, yet you've shaded me for mech talk.
Read on Purple feels very quick and one-dimensional, and you just stick to this read going forward no matter what Purple says or does afterwards.
I liked Circle's posting at the beginning and it wasn't all mech-talk, just felt genuine to me.
He felt eager to get started and his thoughts weren't trivial by any stretch.
As for purple, I have thought a lot about his posting and I don't think it's fair to say my read of him is one dimensional, I express quite some doubt in my read there and he's not someone I'd want to push to eliminate on Day 1.- Color Blue

Are you upset that I have given townreads in the past for mech talk but not for you?
The thing about mech talk is, it helps as a crutch to actual scum hunting - however if someone has only mech talk in their ISO and not much scumhunting, it feels very ++scum.
It is easy for scum to talk about mech and avoid talking about reads/scumhunting because it feels more comfortable to them.- Color Blue

That is my honest opinion of Purple's read list.In post 351, Star Shape wrote:This seems more like you're trying to justify your scum read rather than just make an honest read on Purple.
many of the townreads simply state "____ is a Townread, I liked ___"
It felt copied over and over and many of the townreads are because Purple liked the reaction to his entrance which was usually cited as negative.
That was confusing to me unless he intentionally decided his entrance was scummy, but then why would he think people shading him are town?
It'd make more sense to me if he thought some of the scumreads on him were of convenience/faked.- Color Blue

I think there is an implication that the unpaired shape is going to get offed so that would make sense as a reason to be upset as scum that no one is engaging with you.In post 381, Circle Shape wrote:i think its a weird thing for scum to complain about being ignored
like if im scum no one paying attention to anything i say would be pretty much the ideal like why do you care if no one talks to you as scum haha
I do see your point that this also happens to townies as well - I just think the unique mechanics of the dance make it as likely if not more likely to come from scum.
We are halfway to finishing out pairings so there's a lot of pressure for mafia if they are still unpaired imo.- Color Blue

Star's appeal for being left out came early on, which was why I questioned it.
My... I guess 'switch' but really was just dishearten..ment if that is word, came after I posted some thoughts and the only engagement I received on them was from the person I quoted within that post, and it's a bit like... I'm being tossed into a POE because I haven't impressed which, okay, I haven't posted a lot nor do I have the time/energy. But then when I try to give something it's glossed over for a page or two and people don't seem to be actually thinking about my slot. It makes an unpleasant game and makes me not want to try which yes, it is early, but something like that is just... yeah. It didn't feel like people wanted to talk to me when I was already in a bad mood.
I do want to talk to you!
It's just harder for people to engage with a giant wall post than smaller posts in general.
My mind kind of tends to just press "skip" when I see something long.
I do want the game to be pleasant for you. I hope you have more time to catch up soon.- Color Blue

313 isn't similar to what you said and isn't his entry post.
Red said shapes/colors have nothing to do with roles/alignment.
you said that maybe shapes could pair with shapes and pairs don't have to be color/shape.
Did you just get the wrong post number?
Also I don't see why people would ignore the previous Red's posts even if they were made as non-anon.- Color Blue

Penta didn't like the way you were talking in the thread because it's difficult to read and interact with, I don't see how that's a scummy interaction?
You are kind of hard to understand/interact with because of the way you write.
Penta already explained the read flip on Red, the speed was actually I think +town for penta because it seemed like an in the moment reaction to Red.

just re-reading the exchange Penta has with Triangle at the top of Page 20 - 475 onwards.
I think Penta is trying to make an effort to get on the same page with Triangle and just feels somewhat exasperated that Triangle is so difficult to communicate with.
I think that's more likely to come from Town!Penta than Scum!Penta because I don't think Triangle's read on Penta makes a lot of sense or would feel threatening to Scum!Penta.- Color Blue

Penta,
I think you're town, please calm down a bit - being overly defensive with Orange isn't really great for the thread and doesn't paint you in a good light.
If you read Orange's posts - she's catching up and hasn't really gotten to that part yet where Star null-SRs her.
Also not all players actually care that much about suspicion thrown their way - I don't think Orange is that type of player who cares as much about how she is viewed.- Color Blue

it is taking tremendous willpower for me to not post in this thread as much as I want to
I am really excited to get the PT so i can post to my hearts content.
I think Orange and Diamond would be a good match, even though I think Diamond is less likely town than Triangle, I am not sure Triangle will ever be productive to talk to in a PT.
It is kind of weird to me that Green would rather have Orange pair with Diamond than pair with Diamond himself if he thinks Diamond is a good pairing.- Color Blue

I am confused how you can walk in with your pairing list like:

Diamond Shape
Star Shape
and then pair with Diamond in around five minutes without talking to the other two..
It's certainly very bold!
