    Not a read I feel super strongly about, but this post bugs me a bit.

    It's the way the first two lines are kind of.... performative? Like, I imagine myself typing that out, and the first two sentences are more like a quick thought I have, and then I write out the third bit, just asking the relevant question.

    Like, even adding the hyphen at the end of the first line, just feels.... very intentional, in a way that conflicts directly with how organic/natural the thought is supposed to be.
    --- Post automerged ---
    Kind of dig the bolded, even if it's fairly surface level.

    dC, explain the "expressing uncertainty in a read makes it less valuable even if you ARE uncertain" thing. I've rolled it around in my head a few times and I don't even quite get the thrust of what you mean, nevermind it being some kind of standard Mafia Wisdom or anything.
    --- Post automerged ---
    Meh. Not super thrilled with it but I'm going to grudingly give Vaimes a townpoint for this and then feel kinda shitty about it.

    Gemma, this seems like an odd post for you to mindmeld with, considering you and dC were like, the ones who were accused of misinterpreting Fable.
    --- Post automerged ---
    Don't.... super want to get into this post that much, since, yeah.

    Gonna say I think it makes dC/Fable scremaingly unlikely to be w/w, and I'd also be pretty surprised if dC wrote it as a wolf, full stop.

    The bolded section is one of those things that makes me kind of internally ???? since it doesn't match any mafia mindset that makes sense to me, but I believe that dC believes it, like that's where he's at at this point in the game.

    /barn.

    Not gonna lock it in or anything, since there's a pretty obvious corollary to this, which is that Fable's gotten v read for this exact same thing before, and he's level-y enough to try to take advantage of that, but nothing about his attitude really feels fundamentally off here and I buy the narrative as presented at level 1, if that makes sense.

    Certainly enough to give him some breathing room and just like, see what he does D2.

    Why would Fluff being a Mason make him even worse than normal?

    Just, like, he knows he's got a Get Out of Jail Free card?

    You did? I might have missed it in your flurry of posts.

    The answer is no.

    I hope that helps you solve the game.

    One less reason for him to try, yes.

    Earlier today.
    Pretty sure the quote was the first time you mentioned miner which means it means somewhat little.

    That remind me .. there is something in that regard I still could look at.

    But then again - you won't read this post for another day or two.

    Sad times.
    --- Post automerged ---
    Yeah ok.

    Just checked how big the delay between miners post and gemmas was to see if you maybe didn't quote miner because gemma posted right after or something.

    Miner #65 and Gemma #310.

    If you wanted to make a public statement about miner in the meantime then you would have done it.
    --- Post automerged ---
    @Jarizok - if you don't do anything else (and you should do more things) - try at least to get a handle on your miner read.

    Knowing your history with him his 82 posts so far should be enough for you to get some opinion.

    This should get you to his iso if everything works the way I hope it does.

    Is "fluff would try to do things as a wolf" still a thing?

    I'd suspect no. Reading fluff is more mentality and tone than post count now.

    No, because he just did things as a wolf. #mindgames

    Jan, why would Newcomb mentioning a miner scumread earlier make the w/w thought more likely real?

    Technically, yes.

    The problem here is that he played his 2nd wolf game ever last game and while he was fairly obvious to people that can read non of those people were in the game.
    So he coasted to victory by doing very little, but at least something.

    There is this fear right now that if he got wolf again he would just emulate his towngame by doing exactly nothing just because he might get lynched if he was doing anything.

    Plus no one wants to risk losing to someone that plays like this.
    --- Post automerged ---
    If he thought both miner and gemma to be scum when reading the post then he might want to figure out if they are w/w when he sees one talking about the other.

    Plus it would support the narrative of him having a similar thought when he read that post.

    Yeah linking to a direct search on my pc might not copy it to his. Makes some sense, but was worth a shot.
    He is at work and I don't know how easy it is to iso people without help on his phone etc.
    --- Post automerged ---
    Does anyone know how to get @Newcomb to read anything current or make some sort of "my story so far" post including reads?

    If we wait for him to be caught up by himself then we might have to wait until ragnarok.
