I know you don’t lol

It was supposed to be a joke cause I wouldn’t clear you for it last game and I’m using it this game

so

Arete, LC

Wilgy is probably just scum, he doesn’t fit that characterization but he’s scummy outside of that, I think

Yup

Do you still think that?

Earlier was in the previous day isn't it? You ask like it was minutes ago?

I recently showed scum behaviour of yours and you instead talking to me you chose Hally to express worries about me. This is nagl.

You said to Hally that you said open somewhere that you SR me but i didn't read all the thread, because i am too busy for this, but at the moment of my reaction you did what i said.

A bad sight for Hally's power towning i am 99% we are witnessing in this game is that townies can't keep up with her, i certainly can't so big chunks of the thread remains unread.

@Ash Lael the cyan text is fmpov my answer at your question.
Idrc if you changed that after by fully SR me, at that moment you gave me the impression i shared.

No evasion, sorry to disappoint you,

OTOH, if you feel like i could know anyhting about your playstyle, i don't. I reacted at wolfy behaviour both times.
Is wolfy to beat around the bush and not being straight in your approach. You have a problem with me and want to solve it by talking to Hally. No matter how do you exlain it, is odd.

Michelle could be flying under the radar- I said previously that I like her snark, but from the skimming I've done, it looks like a lot of what she's posting has been on the defensive; I find that townies tend to brush off accusations a lot more than wolves do and tend to focus on what they can contribute instead. I found her towny for her snarky defenses (which is, in the sense, brushing it off) but since then she's offered a lot more detail in defense of herself, seems sorta obsessive with people who are scum-reading her. My gut still leans town here for some reason, but she's definitely the person I'm giving the benefit of the doubt to whom I'd be least surprised to see flip wolf. Nothing she's really done has been a brilliant shining light of town.

Arete - lowposting but not to the extent of WIlgy/TH. Has given mostly short posts and a few of them pinged me tonally. Waffling on Vul, although was apparently right than his tone has shifted from previous games, which could have thrown off their read. Not sure here but firmly within the PoE.

ted - I get the feeling that he's almost outside the thread when he posts--mentioned going after islanders, but seems to be on an island himself to me. I've seen glimpses of enthusiasm in his posts that I think would be hard to replicate as scum. Doesn't feel like his wolf self from what I've seen of his wolf self from Ambidals (although I died D1 there and was only loosely following after that). The town lean I gave him was spur-of-the-moment after reading a push I liked from him.

Vulgard - I have some hesitation toward this slot still. Not playing a bad game if he's wolf but also not playing a spectacular one imo, which I feel is why a lot of people are giving him a locktown read. His tone is off to me and apparently starkly different from his meta. Seems very ambivalent in some ways, which I could interpret as though he's afraid to make a push on someone. Lean town right now but could easily flip wolf imo.

I'll share more in a bit.

i do want to ask @Vulgard about this. vul, you said you’re absolutely certain arete isn’t mafia/doesn’t have tmi but at the same time they’re not like their town self. where does your confidence that arete absolutely isn’t mafia stem from?

ash has a very good wolf game. im not sure if it’s this good though. like he may be out of his wolf range even still. but he is a way better wolf than his experience would lead you to believe and should be handled as such

Arete, LC

Wilgy is probably just scum, he doesn’t fit that characterization but he’s scummy outside of that, I think

can you elaborate on these thoughts? what do you mean, solving on islands? why are arete/lc the people that fit that description and does anyone else? and can you go more in depth on wilgy?

the most simple explanation is that they give thoughts without advancing too much and not interacting with what's going in on the thread at the moment they're in it.

basically completely disconnected players that let conflicts arise and don't weigh in AT ALL. Why is it bad? Because I think we keep getting tangled in T/T arguments.

Arete = only attempted to read Vulgard and didn't have other thoughts or moments where we can see she's trying to solve the game. She jumped on TSP as soon as the case on him arrived but didn't do anything else.

LC = engages in fluff, stays out of conflicts (Michelle / Poison, Ash / whoever, TSP / Ash)

Not pretty sure on LC but Arete doesn't really look like she's trying to solve the game and the Vulgard progression is kind of left open in order to keep poking at it but she keeps pushing the same details that she already should've solved from. Arete keeps asking Vulgard why he writes academically when he already answered and it doesn't read like she's trying to solve him based on it, just to keep conversation going.

(wilgy poast to be continued)

If you don't have him as wolf or town, then interact with people that do and ask why.

She doesn't really seem like she's interested in figuring Vulgard at all.

the number of people familiar with TSP's meta saying things like 'WHY ARE YOU KILLING HIM HE'S ALWAYS LIKE THIS' is making me kind of nervous

also I obviously don't want a rand
