tell me more

His tone is incredibly forced/stilted and he keeps repeating his cases in a way that makes me think he's trying to mimic a proper progression on people.

Vulgard wrote: ↑Wed Oct 07, 2020 5:59 am I dislike tutuu claiming mafia and then cop as a meme, but since it's apparently something she does as town all the time, it shouldn't be a factor in my read.
Independently from that, I disliked her response to my slight pressure, because it felt very dismissive. Like she was internally self-conscious and it slipped through in her response. While it wasn't openly hostile, it had the underlying tone of "leave me alone this instant."

I also dislike the fact she appears to be fluffposting a lot. Nanook is doing the same thing, but his fluff is sprinkled with interactions and reads, and feels much less rigid overall. The impression I get from tutuu is that she is trying a bit too hard to fit into the thread, which shines through specifically in her interactions with Poison. She has been focusing on those for quite a while, and they are hardly related to the game we're playing, which leads me to believe she wants to enter the game without garnering suspicion by doing it "through a townie" instead of on her own merits.

I'm not certain if others understand my thought process on tutuu, but this is where I currently stand.

I would talk more about Hally, but I am waiting for them to post more. I obviously disliked them claiming mafia, and I considered their earlier read on Michelle rather forced, including the progression into reading Michelle town. It felt rigid and somewhat performative, like someone trying to be townread because they are trying to solve another player right away. The "solve" did not feel very natural to me.
Okagyyyy now I get it. I am getting curious about vulgard is because I reason out people in a similar manner? Hmmm....... Not that scum wouldn't be doing this but I think I understand where he is coming from in general. I think I'll like to slight townread vulgard atm.

There's very little thought but she ends up with a townread on Vulgard. The post is almost cut from a mold; -bring up different points, -show ambivalence, -end with a read based on prior justification... but there's just nothing there. 'I think I understand where he's coming from' reads as just an attempt to build buddyship rather than actually reading into his mindset. I don't like her tone, either- some of her posts seem exaggerated, and although it's hard to distinguish personality from actual slips, I get a bad feeling from a lot of what she writes.

Hally wrote: ↑Wed Oct 07, 2020 12:07 pm and why can’t they be w/w?

There were a couple of interactions I've come across in my catch-up that made me think they're not teamed. Vulgard had one post talking about Poison in a manner I didn't think could come from a teammate.

re: tone i think he just writes like that

i don’t understand what you mean by the bolded

By the bolded I mean that he keeps bringing things up that he's already said before, such as that he doesn't like the posters who claimed maf. It seems like he's trying to write every read he has out to such a detailed extent that nobody can question the work he's put in/the quality of his thoughts, but it just comes out looking like he's trying very hard to remember the reasons he's scumread peope--something that town don't have to do because they've already internalized their opinions.

Every time he posts he's repeating his case from before and it feels like he's presenting some sort of forced image of originality.

re: the interactions, could i trouble you to quote one? just to humor me

sure, let me find it. still not caught up yet but i'll iso

Vulgard wrote: ↑Wed Oct 07, 2020 5:54 am The reason I'm hesitant to townread Ash is because I get the impression that he's fully capable of writing the posts he has written as either alignment. So far, there hasn't been anything telling me that he certainly doesn't have more information than he should.

My townread on Poison is mostly a result of her open excitement and the energy of her response to my slight pressure. It felt free of doubt, and free of worry. It looked like she hadn't even thought twice about what she was going to write, which is a good sign.

Here's an example. This just doesn't feel like something a teammate would write about their partner to me. It's more like a pocket attempt than anything.

uhhhh sorry to burst your bubble, but totally not joking. i have caught scum by them being overly formal in the past and i will keep doing it.

I use semicolons religiously. It's NAI for me.

I don't know what to think of Ash. On the surface I think he's very towny, but I don't like how he gave me such an easy town lock. It feels like a TMI read.

tutuu wrote: ↑Wed Oct 07, 2020 2:12 pm im not immediately finding dunya town which saddnends me, townreading her was one of the highlights of this game that i was looking forward to

reasons for why could i not be townreading her but she could still be town:

1) its been a while since we played. a few months. maybe im not remembering stuff properly
2) she could be tired cuz its late and maybe she had a long day at work
3) im biased cuz i already have so much townreads and im hesitant to make more. but i dont think thats true. but it could be

I'm reading dunya's posts with a magnifying glass. I think there could be something there.

one thing poison has going for her is the spoilerread on hally

weird reads like that are typically villa

when did that change and why?

changed this morning when i was catching up on the thread- you're on every page posting regularly, seem to be genuine in your scum-hunting and i feel you haven't had any troubles being involved

Vulgard wrote: ↑Wed Oct 07, 2020 4:23 am That said, I don't think I should be a town leader and I generally avoid the role. I have miskilled too many townies while being in that role, and since I don't like the guilt of killing a fellow town member, doing it repeatedly and leading town into its demise isn't something I want to do as town.
Vul I have a question for you

did you intentionally alter your speech patterns for this game (or prior to this game, I guess, it's been a while since we've actually played together)

so it's not how he actually writes

[VOTE: Vulgard] aubergine

I'm just waiting for the wolves to parachute into my territory and give themselves up like Rudolf Hess.

on page 25, half-assedly reading up

good morning btw

tony, talk to me.

what do you make of ted?

i know i haven't had too many posts this game, but i feel like ted isn't involved even when he is posting. he drops a thought or two but seems to be hanging out on the outside of the game in a way.

agree that nanook is bleeding town.

i had a good read on him last time i played with wolf!nano and like what i see here, so it's good sailing

Counterpoint, I almost always feel this way about Ted. Well, this isn't true. I dunno. I seem to recall having a good streak of finding him as town earlier in the year after GoC. He was a wolf in GoC, right
Yeah, he was a wolf and he tricked me. But I found him in a few games after, then he was a wolf in abdimals and was null all game. I dunno. Maybe to save for later.

OH right I wolfed with him in Amdibals
