[_Zenith_]

Okay I'm caught up.

3. danceflashgun (danceflashrevo) - Haven't seen enough
4. Charuzard (Charu) - Pfft
5. DaKnapsack (DaBackpack) - Haven't seen as much as I'd thought rereading

Hot reads, bad reads (maybe)

[_Zenith_]

You all fucking suck maybe take a break from being keyboard warriors in the first phase of the game from now on.

[Charu]

Ya wanna go, m8?

[_Zenith_]

With Shado I might be wrong with feeling that way because I felt the same way when he was town in the one game I played with him in it and he was town, yet, something is off and someone else caught it too: The aggression is something new and it feels mighty arbitrary to me imo.

We saw him throw little jabs in that game but nothing like that one post that someone called out (mobile, not going back to quote it). That alone just feels weird to me without actually in-depth reading at the contents of his posts.

[Charu]

Zenith, I have you, actually, as an invisible STRONG town.

Reason being is solely definitely because of being replaced and the post R.E. made before bing replaced, but you're actually my TOP town next to Pre.

[juckter1]

I guess this merits a phonepost...

First and foremost I must apologize, I've felt really shitty for the last couple of days and that has really hindered my ability to mantain a reasonable activity level. I'm feeling a little better now, but I'll probably have to replace out.

Secondly, regarding Pre/DBP, I think I was actually wrong when reading the beginning of their interaction. I felt like Precarious' vote was omgus-y and I felt like he was trying to justify that vote based on his subjective appreciation of gut reads and mechanics, but after rereading that a fuckton of times, reading DBP and Precarious' ISOs a couple of time, and reading the interaction between Precarious and mellon (which was ACTUALLY a gut vs mechanics sort of deal, and read way different than Pre/DBP), I think I was reading Precarious' intentions wrong. That been said I still do not like that interaction suddenly stopping, and Precarious ignoring my question, as well as DBP giving an answer that might as well be ignoring my question, still makes me feel suspicious.

Now, regarding Shado's claim, I do agree with Charu that a potential Vengeful should not CC, however I disagree that Shado not claiming yesterday was weird, because if I read the timestamps correctly, the wagon on Shado happened literally one minute before EoD. Also, would it be worth it for a Vig to counterclaim if Shado is lying? I think it is, but I don't really have an analysis that can back that up. That being said, though I won't buy Shado's claim 100% today, even if he isn't counterclaimed, I don't think he should be lynched today.

That's the pressing stuff I guess, I'll do a thorough reads list later when I'm on a computer

[Charu]

Is it wrong for me to read someone like that, maybe, but it's there and I'm sure a lot of people have come to that conclusion too.

...Or maybe it's just me, hee hee hee.

[_Zenith_]

Oh, nice

Shadow's a smart guy. I'm pretty sure he saw that I was calling him the next strong wolf after Freez he was gonna get cooked.

He took a gamble, and assumed I would change my read on him when I continued on my read by read thing.

I did not, it only grew.

[_Zenith_]

Now for Xel, he's interesting to me. Imo, he's been extremely middle ground. Saw him shitpost a little bit, and I saw in like two posts he changed to actually contributing but hovers between the two. It's a bit strange at the moment.

Maybe before I continue I should do isolations because that catching up wasn't satisfactory and it's getting on my nerves.

[Charu]

He saw it coming, I must reiterate he was highly aware of what was happening because he came in last minute to mentioned "inDheart is getting lynched, huh?"

[Charu]

isn't*

[_Zenith_]

When I reread, two people had extremely off posts and I just dislike in general how they are playing the game (maybe biasing
On that front, because I can't read a post from them and help cringe even if it's a good one):

inDheart
Hakulyte

[Charu]

Agreed, in the beginning Haku was being dumb as per usual and inDheart I had him as a slightly strong wolf lean at the beginning of the game.

[Charu]

But I promise you if you did what I did and do a page by page analysis, you'll come to the same conclusion regarding inDheart.

[Charu]

Same thing for Haku, he's got some nice gems in the midst of his stupidity.

[danceflashrevo]

Right,

I'm voting mellon b/c nothing that she's said has really stuck with me. A lot of her content is very lacking and circulative it seems. When initially pressured by gradiant about traction on wolfe, she seemed kinda flustered and quick to dismiss it.

I already said I misread it, I misread one of Freezin's posts as a joke but after re-reading it I don't think it was so it's cool of Shado to quote it. be concerned if you want but that's kind of a dumb thing to be concerned about if you ask me

we should play a game where we all pretend to be afrobean. only 6+ paragraph posts allowed

Quick response, to not wanting to talk about it ("but that's kind of a dumb thing to be concerned about if you ask me") then to shit post ("we should play a game where we all pretend to be afrobean"). Then when gradiant pressures further into it, she basically responds with "i misread it" again. A lot of her interaction just seems weird but that could be due to sick meds which is understandable.

I meant I didn't understand what the point of the arguments were and it seemed like they were just going in circles.

I do think they will be important for the game. I did read it all and am not just dismissing it that's for sure

Says that the day 0 interactions seemed pointless, gets traction from charu, then she switches to "nonono misread lolol" and says something that doesn't follow her logic imo. She seems to want to dismiss them but then says that she's not. Her phrasing was off and that leads to a lot of awkwardness (as to what's pointless, what she actually thinks about the interactions).

Then she has an argument with precarious over theory stuff (gut reads and whether they're good or not). But I feel as though she's happy to start conflict in this way because it looks like she's being assertive when really she's not being attacked in any way. She doesn't have to mask her role, just has to talk about what she believes is the best way to play the game. (This interaction can be seen pages 31 and 33).

So her only additions to this game are basically misreading and having an interesting interaction with gradiant, having a logic argument with precarious, and having precarious scum for being self assured.
