Can you two tell me what you think of each other so far?

@Dana
@Alison
Alison seems to kind of roll up and somehow very quickly get a handle on what's going on. from what I know of her, she seems to be super logical and analytical which makes her a strong player. I trust her for the most part, but still a little warily for now
I do not like the equivocation in your posts. You are not confident in what you’re posting. There is hesitation which tells me you’re afraid to commit to an idea. If you’re town, your opinion is your opinion. No need to equivocate. It is scummy behavior to step so carefully around an opinion.

I’ve voted for you, and this is partly why.
no
No what?

hedging isn't scummy

Well she already admitted she can't read gnome, and it's true. So if act is town idk why she would base any of her reads on interactions around gnome.

Do you think your read on Garden Gnome doesn't feature equivocation?

Not the way in which Dana is with their posts this game. Starting from Dana’s first post through most subsequent posts, Dana is equivocating. At some point, I think it’s safe to say there is some level of back and forth from players. It isn’t about a single post. Dana started off right away careful about appearing a certain way. Dana cared more about appearances and had a focus on how they came across to others.

I’m very firm when I say I can’t read Gnome. I am not offering a read on gnome so much as explaining to you why I will likely refrain from reading her. I don’t see it the same way.

Posted: **Fri May 21, 2021 6:53 pm**

On what do you base the read that she does not have bad reads?
The strongest evidence would be the fact that she doesn't have any reads unless you count her saying GG's post seemed fine, which was corroborated by other people who've played with GG.
If this is in reference to Dana, I actually found it odd that Dana found gnome’s post fine. Jay picking Gnome out as scummy feels more genuine because I mean...Gnome’s post was scummy. Does Dana know Gnome? Or...?
Why is my post scummy?

Gnome, I’m not reading you as scum. I’m not even reading you

your post appears scummy for its tone, but I know that to be NAI.

For now you can click the number next to "posts in topic" under each player's avatar. If you're on mobile, you can exit to the Sit Down forum, click the thread's post count, and for each individual user their post count will be a hyperlink to their ISO.

Links will probably come soon in the OP.

I read all four of your voters as town to varying degrees. I understand the criticism and think that it's at least technically valid even if it doesn't sell me -- you'd be in what is presently a vast POE pool and on the short list of votes I'd consider. I want you to have an opportunity to go about your hunt and game solving your own way, so I release you from my own questions. Thanks for answering.
