Considering that you have a Seanzie read that clearly differs from mine, can you elaborate a bit more than what you did earlier in the phase? To me Seanzie feels like wolf or misyeet bait (so far) and thus like a player who, if sorted correctly, could make or break the game in the long run.

It’s not a substantive read because, well, he hasn’t really done much. But at the time in my drunken state, I liked his vibe. He’s like the dude that showed up with a box of 2 day old pizza and let me have it

So it's mostly a tonal read, I see.

I guess we need to wait what happens to see whether your drunken read holds merit.

Well im certainly not reading him off of flips.

How else are we supposed to read people D1?

Meta, prior experiences, gut reads, using an RNG to make reads... the choices are endless.

My main point was that it's not a strong read of yours and that I didn't overlook anything, I just interpret the gameplay we both saw in a different way than you do.,

I can vaguely compromise on carrying each other, but i like sheeping more than i like leading

Dunnstral why do u think im mafia?.

I still only townread Brad and Scottie, this probably means im skill issueing in the formation of new reads, but it is what it is.
Maybe i should sheep the consensus and lazily call Mich town.

Why would you do such thing?

Townread just about everywhere that had posted. LC wasn't even that scummy. Nobody was really howling. Quite a few people had yet to post. Seems logical.

Is there a dedicated button for voting as well? I'm too spoiled thanks to MU.

There’s not really a button per se- there is a {vote} box in the reply menu that will put the code around your player. But I just do the code manually on phone.

It’s a bit archaic in comparison to the format of MU, I must admit.

I don’t really want to be using post cap posts to explain, but it’s fine.

There’s a bevy of options up there that really are situational to the game. In the before times, us old farts didn’t use to post off topic without using the OT button. Sarcastic orange to imply sarcasm, pedantic to imply pedantic-ism (w/e the noun of that is). Nowadays, we just…post. Be free.

Dead players used to be able to post off topic in dead red. That’s still a host preference. We don’t customarily do that much anymore

Oh, that YouTubeHD code button doesn’t work. YouTube videos can just be posted and they’ll appear as normal

Okay, doing that doesn't change the vote in the thingymcguffin above, that's good to know.

I assume the colours mean that non-alive people post in red and sarcasm is for nerds anyways.

Back to topic, for some reason I thought that Epignosis lurked in the forum and had no-posted (definitely misunderstood Scotty there) but then I saw that this was indeed the three gif player and yeah, please join the game in a more meaningful way.

Not the host. But I would normally say unless you’re voting {Vote}McFartsMcGee{/vote] to represent a vote for Mac, you’re fine.

Voting in thread is mostly a courtesy because we no longer have the tag in the poll that says when a player voted. So it’s easier to track for everyone

Either I woke up grumpy and on the wrong side of the bed or I have started posting during wolf hours. All of you posting in real time are giving me the bad juju.

my not vote d1 list is prolly looking like

lan
brad
chels
mich
mac
scotty

rn, not ordered cba, i'd prolly like to find 1 or 2 more by the time i make an actual meaningful vote.
[and yes i know im still voting mac, and no i dont wanna move the vote from there it amuses me].

I don't have a definitive wolf read at this point. I'm having question marks on Seanzie and Manny for different reasons but I don't want to vote for Manny yet and I don't want to vote against a player's townread who I townread right now, either.

It's not a vote I plan on leaving there all cycle but some pressure to make that player join in a meaningful way that helps us figure them out feels like a useful endeavour.

I'm also in the camp of "never around for EOD" so I naturally see my vote in a different light than you may; I think that my reads and interactions will have a much stronger influence on how this game proceeds than whomever I vote for whenever. So... shrug

Michelle is coming around with her posts. It was late for her in the starting parts of this phase since she lives on the moon and her time zone is 84 hours ahead. Plus, the absolute townreading maelstrom of everyone else just tells me I’m probably just wrong with my initial impression.

That's fair. I know that Michelle can be quite a competent wolf but I don't see it so far.

Why would I get good vibes when nothing you are posting is reasonable from a town mindset?

You pressure vote me, which is a purposeless action. Then claim you did it because you felt pressured to act towny. Then you call Chelsea town without elaboration forcing me to inquire further for a read. Then you tell me I have a skill issue because I'm not townreading someone for something they posted I haven't seen which you'd know. Now you're telling me you're towntelling which you frankly are not.

So please explain again why I should get good vibes? Is your towntelling also from pages prior to my entry?
