I'm working on my reads. (They'll be in the next post.) For what they're worth, anyway; day 1 is generally a crapshoot.

The "raw commentary" hopefully served the purpose of making clear that hedging around Charu is a waste of time and focus. The reason I made those posts was because some people felt that scumreading/suspecting/whatever Charu was an effective use of their time. It isn't.

This is how I play. You can always expect a lot of theorycraft and mechanical stuff early on. I find that has value, because putting the game in its proper context clarifies everything else.

I'm curious what your reads are. I see this a lot here; people expect others to contribute, but are curiously silent when it comes to doing the work themselves. ShadoW also voted me, but at least he made the effort to link my playstyle to the Turbo game where I was a wolf (this is misguided since this is just how I tend to play, but at least his internal logic makes sense, which reads genuine). You, on the other hand, have the effect of a drive-by shooter. That seems less honest somehow.

EBWOP: The OP not having everyone's actual names is really annoying.

Not sure I agree with this post guys

[juckter1]

Kay, I've read stuff now.

Shado I forgot about previously, but now I've read him, he seems okay. I don't think his jump on Freeze was as artificial as other people are saying, the thing that I found the most odd is that he seemed to abandon it really quickly. His other stuff is fairly agressive and he's actively engaging people, which may or may not be his style regardless of alignment but I like it. Don't see him leaning towards any alignment right now

mellon is probably town based on tone alone

I'm not familiar enough with memes to read XelNya right now

I'm not good enough at the game to form reads on people I didn't mention on this or my previous post

[juckter1]

Time to probably be more active. Just FYI I probably won't be posting stuff before like 4PM server in this game in general because I hate phone posting and I'd rather not do it unless it's absolutely necessary

is it bad that listening to the Baited podcast and watching HWYM's leafy video makes me like Keemstar a little more?

Why? If I want to vote you, I'd just vote for Prius Car. What's wrong with that?

Actually, now that I mention it, me and whoever else voted Precarious should switch it to a vote on Prius Car.

Prius Car

I believe Precarious said something about trying to change his meta for posting more in this game?

I thought that might be the case until you mentioned a typo. What's the typo, then?

Yes.

[Hakulyte]

To be accurate:

(The answer is probably not.)

It's page 2 in Sign ups thread.

Looks like I proved myself wrong on my own.

gj Haku

meta =/= post count

I like to do isolated reads of each poster as well as read the whole conversation, so I can see how things fit together. I do this with Advanced Search, and you need the exact name. I'm not familiar enough with everyone to get all the numbers and quirks of the names right without checking, so it's handy to be able to refer to the OP.

so what seems to be bothering me about freez's advice here is how it follows these two other posts

if freez has read recent games, haku's been in pretty much all of them, so ample chance to at least get familiar with his style, even if you're not going to hold him to account for previous mishaps. but doing that misses the self-stated essence of haku's play. he routinely posts moronic things and passes them off as intentional to provoke reactions. those reaction tests often fail.

freez's post reads like it was meant to be a guiding hand like shado had meant in the cancelled turbo. but i think by now, several of us are realizing the futility of convincing haku of anything. he's tried to shake up his style a bit, but still winds up playing the same game. that's why this bothers me - i think if freez was paying a modicum of attention to the games they were reading (or read postgames), they would come to the same conclusion. so that's why, for me, freez's admonishment is more than surface level. maybe not at the level of a wolf team trying to pass notes in broad daylight for now, but it looks funny.
