Taking into account that you could have been conf biasing is me playing advocatus diaboli for you. As for the validity of your initial argument, I keep not seeing it.

I'm done with this for now. I'm not currently voting for you, and if you're town I suggest you find a wolf.

Might just end up voting with people I currently think are town (jess, nut, gims). Michelle to a weak extent.

Reconsidering if I should keep my TR on pyxxy.
NicoleAD kinda nothingburger to me.

A few townreads, stuff I think makes you votable. But there‘s lots of nothingburger apart from that.

That’s fine, you’re allowed to vote for me.

But if it’s a lot of nothingburger, then idk how my argument for scumreading you is bad compared to anyone else’s scum argument

Other than this, what do you think about the top wagons?

Considering that they were leetic, whom I'm voting, and you... I feel they're as fine as anything at this point? I did look briefly back at your last game and thought maaaybe the others did have a point about you, but like nutella said I also kinda wanted to see more of your posting, and then you started posting more, but a VC doesn't do much to help me figure you out, so we'll see...

it's kind of a silly thought but i noticed that he posted exactly enough times to meet the roleplay requirement and then seemed to fully disengage and i feel like he might be more motivated to do that if he was on a wolfteam

Nothing that wise about gims. My first impression of them was towny because they were snapping off reads and trying to get engagement. More recently they've been calling everyone scummy and talking about sheeping and such, which is just kinda vibing negatively with me. Not seriously considering voting there but keeping an eye on them going forward to see if they can bring the energy they started the game with back.

i was genuinely thinking of randomly pressure voting rondo before pyxxy beat me to it

Well now I'm really confused, is that supposed to do anything other than make him still do nothing here and then later get mad about how people kinda wanted him to do something sooner?

Remember how JJJ told us in our last game that he often goes for low posters on d1?

nvm you were co-modding with me, so you almost certainly didn't read that. But he did.

Anyways, I'm making a conscious effort to evaluate the low-posters a little more on d1 rather than helltunneling a high-poster that sees the world differently than me, and I felt leetic's posts seemed a little opportunistic and scummy.
