+ Wwa probs

Fine to resolve counterwagon d2, thats correct, but if you do the correct way to use that info is to poe all the people who voluntarily chose to vote a strong town player over an afk wolf

if you dont then dont blame me if you lose

PS: dont listen to sabis ate, people on this site need to stop worshipping ate it makes you too easy to get snowed

Well
I'd never write the first 7 words because I'm not in school anymore
So tbf I wouldn't read into that, but why do you think it's less likely town writes that?

Alison wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 4:08 am but also what on earth do you mean "shift in opinion"

that opinion is completely consistent with my previous votes

I said "The POE should be my entire wagon except michelle"

so you and sabi

i sussed sabi heavily n0/d1, started off d2 voting them, then switched to you

DarlingMonroe wrote: ↑Thu Feb 01, 2024 6:01 am I find it more plausible either that both Ali and Sabi are town on town, than wolf on wolf. But I believe it's my first game with them, so I could be reading them totally wrong.

and if one out of the 2 is wolf, still not sure which of the two would be

I don't see it as a shift in opinion, it's just unnecessary. She's been pushing me since N0.

I don't understand the logic behind this

Interactions with brad

So Sabi, as wolf with Brad, would be the first to point out that Brad is solidly in his wolf meta and then hard bus him?
You don't think they'd wait until Brad gains traction from other people before deciding whether to bus? He could've just been ignored and nobody would've batted an eye as far as im concerned. Like I'd forgotten he existed in the game until Sabi pointed him out cause I never even saw his posts on N0.

town
Cape90 - I've seen town Cape before and this feels similar. My memory is a bit rusty but nothing they've posted has pinged me and I find myself agreeing a fair number of their posts.
Creature - Creature's predecessor was Guillo. I found Guillo towny from how they were shifting around and constantly re-evaluating. While their initial reads felt forced (which I generally find scummy), I know it's something that can happen to town too if they want to get the game started right away. But for town, this kind of prodding becomes natural later on and that's what I feel happened.
NANOOKTHEGREATANDFEARSOME - I explained in another post before but uncaring attitude/words but still dropping reads despite the attitude.
RondoDimBuckle - Also explained Rondo before. But to recap, it was because of their uncooperative attitude. Probably a bit too weak a reason at this point.
nutella - nutella's TR was carried over from the main thread and the main reason was because I liked their vibe. nutella pairing me and Cape was cool too. It showed that they're keeping an eye out for these things and IMO synergy is hard to spot if you're not paying enough attention.
Michelle - I moved Michelle up because we mind melded on sig and I liked their post on Guillo, which was also how I got around to a townread on them despite being blinded by OMGUS for a bit.

everyone else
Dyslexicon - Explained before. Initial posts I really liked. Not sure why but probably because they were direct (like an arrow) and I agreed. Then it felt like they were kind of stuck on the same reads so I dropped them.
Master Radishes - Again, with time, they dropped because I wasn't seeing more towny posts. It comes with the lowest threshhold rising as time goes by. But another thing with Radishes was there just weren't that many posts I could TR at that point so compared to the rest of my TRs, I could only drop them.
Alison - Same thing with Alison. They were climbing up at one point but dropped because I hadn't seen them for a while. Meanwhile, other people were being townier.
DrWilgy - Probably same reason as Radishes.
Lime Coke - They were a 0-poster.
DarlingMonroe - Couldn't remember their posts.
Sabiplz - Don't remember much of our past game together. Tonally, I think they could go either way. Read-wise, we're not really vibing.
WindwardAway - Same thing as Alison. Except they never got into the TRs. They were close at one point though.

Can you post a sentence for each player to explain their place in your reads?

explanations in blue
#322 also has some changes, which I needed to refer to to answer this (because I forgot)
#479 has some stuff too

I am consistently at the bottom of your readlist and yet you haven't engaged with me on game-related stuff. Why is that?

1) it's unordered so you technically weren't at the bottom
2) I don't really engage with people in general
like I probably should try but I don't have the time to threadsit these days but I also just don't want to

I'll look at Brad and Sabi's interactions again because off the top of my head, I still don't think they're partnered
but several people obviously think it's a distinct possibility, so I might be missing some context

Main thing stopping me from voting Sabiplz rn is that they said I should be able to easily read them (and claimed they're pretty low WIM as wolf), but honestly idk how to read them and I'll feel pretty bad if I vote them and they turn out to be town

They haven't been a low wim wolf historically, fwiw
