I'm not convinced. Even without personal experience with tutuu's typos, I'm loath to pin that on someone. I think the possible bus is a stronger theory than that.

How different is the current game atmosphere to what you remember? Are there any things that seem cozy and familiar to you?

staypositivefriend wrote: ↑Mon Apr 05, 2021 12:54 am it seems plausible to me that tutuu is trying to type really fast on her phone and making more typos than usual as a result. her not going out of her way to correct those typos is the type of thing that seems totally NAI to me

it is a nitpicky read

This concerns me, because I don't think this is an authentic thought. SPF knows me and knows that I wouldn't feel self-conscious about this poll. It's a thin justification, and she acknowledges that it's thin, but I'm wondering if she would have genuinely come up with this sort of idea at all in the first place.

what makes it difficult for you to believe that this is a thought that Town!SPF would have?

Because you opened up this discussion with the statement "Alison is a purposeful player". You're not just making blind guesses about what a hypothetical mafioso would or wouldn't do - you're directly trying to predict if I, specifically me, would do this as mafia. And it's fairly obvious that I'm not the kind of mafia player to feel at all self conscious about something like this. Hence my concern.

because the only thoughts i have about your alignment so far are centered around the ~vibes~ i'm getting from your opening posts & my meta on you, which you are more than capable of playing around. i need the game to go on longer for me to give a read on you that actually stems from a logical place

if i had to give a GTH read, though? town

you were mafia, though. i've learned that the best way to read you is to keep a microscope on your progressions & the specific angles that you push, and the game hasn't gone on for long enough for me to have any meaningful opinions about you. even so, you have my GTH read on you

You're my top scum read so far

Tell me why! I have a theory! If your answer matches my theory we'll be in business falcon45ca! We'll be cooking with gas!

My read is 2 fold...first off, rather than just post that he's town, he elected to quote me and respond directly. Feels kinda pockety.

2nd off, the "lol"...I don't see the humor, it seems like a Maf response trying to come across as light hearted intro to the game.

i think that your explanation is fine, but the concern seems reasonable, no?

this was last month,

"i like esooa's p#214 (and gimmick in general) both because her gimmick is funny and because she's doing something unique and out-of-character without caring about how it's going to make other people perceive her. my meta on esooa is that she tends to carve herself into her own corners of the game as town and isn't afraid to do stuff that goes against the mindset of ~wanting~ to be townread - i think that esooa adopting her gimmick for as long as she did is something that bodes well for. i also kind of liked esooa hiveminding w/me about one of rex's posts being towny on p#241. i'm not going to pretend to know how to read esooa, but i get generally good vibes from her slot so far"

as the 305th post

After Jess town read me, while I was wolf, two games in a row

I don't think that is why she isn't giving a read on me

but this game was actually closer to the games you town read me while I was wolfing. Why change now, and not then?

Can you work this out for me? Like starting from step 1 and proceeding onwards, why wolf Alison is more likely to feel a need to justify her vote?

to recap:

you asked me for my GTH read on you. i gave you my GTH read on you, and i don't feel like expanding on that read because most of it boils down to meta/tone, which you are more than capable of faking, and which i do not feel is a good baseline to read you from. i am reading you from a different baseline in this game. i don't have much else to say about it right now

This quote is weird cause from what I know of jjj his typical approach is to direct town towards an atmosphere of solving the game

This feels showy and is contrary to that goal cause complacency in reads is very, just, not good in general lol
