I kind of liked SVS's response to sig btw

something like "she thought her reasoning was clearly see through and obvious but sig not seeing it was weird but her reaction comes from an uninformed mindset instead of an informed one where she would've been pissed for sig's read on her, whereas here she's just genuinely confused as to why sig can't understand her" or something amongst those lines anyway

also disliked dys' entrance, especially the town read on Michelle

[VOTE: Strawberry] aubergine
Its versatility is not far behind vanilla’s, and a good creamy strawberry ice cream is hard to beat on its own. I don’t care for it when it has chunks of freeze dried strawberries in it though.

My first job was scooping ice cream at a cute lil indie shop that doesn't even exist anymore but had the best mint cookie crunch ice cream in the world.

Btw I loved the monster mash sundae as a kid.

It was that he seemed to be trying to dodge the responsibility of answering a generic Day 0 prod. Or night 0, whatever this is. I'm willing to give him time and space to settle into the game on his own terms, though.

It doesn't move me very much. You'll see Town Sloon soon enough, and I can develop a read on you without it. If you have a specific point you'd like me to address, give it.

An accusation of you doesn't move you? :goofp:

JJJ dissing Sloonei is inherently unusual and would on its own power seem to demand some kind of interchange -- one I wouldn't expect to have to press for. You suggested ted was sort of dodging you; I didn't get that impression. I saw him pose a philosophical question of general strategy (i.e. "how much can you really glean from X?") without a dismissive tone. Folks often don't know what to do with your questions, Sloonbeard, it's something that has gotten you into trouble.

Moreover, my initial spark of suspicion came as a product of "do you not want me to ask questions?". That is itself hardly an accusation, but it seems as though you bear some degree of suspicion of ted. That was unclear to me until I asked just now. Clarity is not something I am used to lacking with Sloonei.

Swag can’t be identified just felt

It’s just fancy code names for tone reads

Epi was awkward in his exchange with J and you have good tone

Are you gonna get anything from my alignment out of me developing why a tone is good / bad for me? I don’t even think I can do that tbh, it will turn out to be an incoherent chaining of words that don’t help anyone to read me

I just wanted to throw my suspicions out and let people know who I’m observing. It’s page 2 reads anyway, it’s some place to build from.
Each of the bottom two paragraphs here struck me as suggesting discomfort from ted. You highlighted the first paragraph, which I acknowledge could be a response from a player who is not accustomed to my aggressive style of questioning. But the bottom paragraph resonated more strongly with me. "I just wanted to throw my suspicions out and let people know who I'm observing." The wording suggests that my light pressure has put him in a spot that he does not want to be in. Whether he doesn't want to be in that spot because his reads are bogus, or because he's not accustomed to providing so much detail this early on, I do not know.

ted was town in All My Circuits and sprit's wacky social experiment thing. I should review those games.

She's right that she says this every game, but the observation I've made is that Town nutella is more casual and flippant about her suspicion of Sloonei, while Mafia nutella can be a bit rigid about it. These two posts in quick succession struck me as merry read-vomiting nutella.

Generally agreed re: nutella. I liked her demand that you (Sloonei) and I stop beep booping as she perceived it. Her reception of my beef with you also rang authentic.

I appreciated the approach S~V~S opened with to check in with juliets, specifically juliets, about the meaning of the Day 0 poll. Given her time away from the game, old-school Syndicate norms, and her relationships with the players on this roster (many of whom I figure she does not know), that made sense to me. It looked like real brainstuff.

sig's "meh" reads on Nanook and I seemed arbitrary. The vagueness of "meh" aside, the inclusions of the reads at all struck me as off. [mention]sig[/mention] why are Nanook and I meh?

It seems like a big leap to equate "strong reads" to reads that are "thrown out like candy." The latter suggests the opposite of strength. This strikes me as a reverse-engineered basis for suspicion.

First they're still leans. I'm not singing their praising or locking them people are already trying to form a town core which is all well and good until you accidentally town core mafia and they get away with sleazy stuff until it's to late. Which happens all the time.

Second:
Michelle is mainly based off of gut
Ted is based off previous games this is well within his civ meta. Everything from jumping in, to his semi aggressiveness and all that jazz. Now it's still early easy to fake meta, but I'm confident in those two loans.

I guess one could argue they're not strong if they're throwing them out, but unilaterally declaring multiple town read without giving much information seems to be giving a strong read.

sig's "meh" reads on Nanook and I seemed arbitrary. The vagueness of "meh" aside, the inclusions of the reads at all struck me as off. @sig why are Nanook and I meh?
Good question. The answer? Reasons. What reasons you may ask? The reasonable type of course.
minus
Minus is good right? Like your subtracting how scummy you think I am. :biggrin:

My question to Jules was a two fold question. Maybe even three fold. First, it served to help me sort her out. I like to know what I think of Jules pretty fast, and I find that gauging her answer to a direct question not directly related to her helps me with that. If she is bad, I don’t think she’s on a team with any of the vanilla voters, and I am leaning civ. I might ask G-Man a direct question, too ;) Second, it correlates to the two posts I quoted above it, from Chuck and Jack. Of the 5 vanilla voters, they put no thoughts into the thread about their votes, Chuck moreso than Jack; Chuck just dropped his vote without any reason or discussion. If Zero polls with meaning are not common anymore, then maybe their votes mean nothing in particular. If they were more common, though, I would not expect a whole team to vote for them. Same would go for the three Pistacio voters. So, third, it’s a good way to start discussion on this topic, since I seem not to be the only one whose eye was caught by the vanilla voters.

Not sure why trying to start discussion is “fluffy”, but OK.
The type of discussion makes you present, but overall didn't seem to contribute much. :shrug2:

Though it's been a very long time since we played together may just be your style.
OK. You have a tendency to suspect me early and often, and that's cool. I just wanted to remind you that I do pay attention to you. Sometimes you treat your own observations as throw aways, and I wanted to see if this was that.

sig wrote: Tue Feb 25, 2020 2:48 pm Pending a massive scum slip I'd say there's no real way to have a strong read this early in the game. So I am a bit antsy on the people who are throwing town reads like candy.
It seems like a big leap to equate "strong reads" to reads that are "thrown out like candy." The latter suggests the opposite of strength. This strikes me as a reverse-engineered basis for suspicion.

caveat: this is sig
People are throwing out strong reads like candy?

I guess one could argue they're not strong if they're throwing them out, but unilaterally declaring multiple town read without giving much information seems to be giving a strong read.
Perhaps you are reading strength into other people's reads. I do not believe that I am one of the people this statement is directed at, but I've been faced with this criticism plenty of times in the past. Throwing out early reads like candy is a strategy certain players follow. Those do not need to be strong reads at all.
