    The nature of multiball also makes this less important. Find a wolf with a wolf from the other team seems fine

    I’m going to answer the first part of this question with my perception of you so far, and it may be me talking out of my ass and when I read the thread tonight if I find I’m wrong I’ll message culpa. My impression is that it’s in general. I don’t mind questions. In fact I’m good with people asking all the questions they need and want to. But let’s face it, scum do ask questions to look busy, and when the majority of the questions feel more busy work, and you’re passing up opportunities to ask questions that do get at alignment, then my ears are going to perk up because that might mean something. So, fine the question to me came from a conversation we were having, and that particular question isnt going to tell much about my alignment, but fine it’s part of the conversation. But you started the conversation, I’m gathering p, to try to get a read on me, so when empoof mentions his meta understanding of me, and you ignore that potential question which could help you gain an better understanding of me and him, I wonder why especially when you’re the wide net casting type.

    If you’re scum you have exactlyone other person you’re informed about, scum aren’t really more informed than town this game, which means these little idiosyncrasies in how you question and treat people is important.

    I’m sorry I don’t understand what you think you’re forcing me to explain myself and put me on the spot with. Are you thinking that with the sparkle thing? Cuz you didn’t do that. You even gave me an out in your question by asking if it was intangible, which is fine, you’re u couldn’t trip me up on sparkle quality when it’s a specifically me thing and how I read people. And I’m still stuck on the blunt thing. Why did you throw that in there? Are you telling me that my problem with Tom is that he’s blunt and then defending him to me? Did you think you were putting me on the spot concerning the blunt thing and I have to prove myself with you putting words in my mouth. I really really don’t get it. It feels wrong because I never said I had a problem with him being blunt, so you were defending him to me before you even knew what my thought was. I don’t have a problem with people who are blunt; the only problem I have a real problem with is the toxic insulting style.

    Okay gotta head out, and if I’m wrong on your approach after I sit down with the thread tonight, I’ll own up to that.

    Jarizok:
    CerberAsta: On first look was great, on reread looks pretty bad. He has one big early readlist and then nothing. One of my top scumreads.
    Empoof: Very active, interacting with people, one of my top townreads.
    Keldeo: Has not stood out to me much, tbqh.
    Mendel: Explains what they're doing, seems towny to me.
    Sloth: pushing people for reasoning and providing his own. Would tentatively place town atm.

    Sloth:
    Ter: I didn't love her insistence on attacking me for a post that I clearly meant as a joke (If I really thought you were scum, I would have voted you). Other than that, has not stuck out to me much. Will reread soon.

    quick driveby post
    is that a metaphor or an actual thing you have?
    Ok, that explains some.
    My complaint wasn't about reading my mind, it was about reading the post; and I didn't mean to imply that you are dumb, and I'm sorry if I created that impression.
    I have a feeling we're bound to misunderstand each other a lot, and that's going to make you a challenge for me.
    Noted, thank you!

    It actually makes it more important for me. Finding two teams of wolves is more difficult because everyone’s scumhunting.

    Hm.
    Ok, so take away the "no him/u" you feel is there: Do you still see it as something that should be "a tier lower"?
    If so, what about the read makes it significantly different than Cobalt's or Fluff's?


    Alright - see #194 and my exchanges with Mendel and tom, a lot of what you're touching on gets addressed in a more tangible way there.
    If you still have more questions after you're done skimming, repeat them.
    Based on your earlier post, I'm interested in seeing what your town-reads are as well.


    Huh. I am VERY interested on seeing your case on Asta, please.
    Did you mean to leave Jarizok blank?


    Agreed, sorry as well. I never gave out my resume when I switched in, unlike most other players.
    Thoughts on the rest of #194?


    I'm interested in more feed back by everyone actually. Day's a-burning.
    @Jarizok bump.

    This shakes the very root of the game to its core.

    Ah. On that note: DO you have a read on the ones not in that list?

    Also, Asta case.

    Looking through his 9 posts, we can safely ignore 5 of them for our analysis.
    His remaining ones are: 31, 90, 95, 171.

    31: Vote on Keldeo that basically amounts to RVS.

    90: His big readlist, and definitely the post that made me townread him at first glance. However, on closer look, its a rather terrible readlist.
    For example look at his Cobalt and his Mendel reads. Can anyone tell me how they contradict each other?
    Answer: For Cobalt, he says that Cobalt is town cause scum want to get accusations flowing and the game moving. He says Mendel is town cause scum want people to lay low and not get the game moving. Which is it?
    Also his reads are all low effort things anyone could type out. I see nothing that tells me Asta is coming at this from a town pov, but he's literally just throwing things out there. Why is Keldeo +EV to be scum for townreading Empoof, who Asta thinks is town? How in the world do I count as an active player? And so on and so forth.

    95: Follows up his readlist with an answer to a question Ter asked. She asks him what he thinks of Sloth accusing her and him of buddying, he follows up by saying that Sloth is stirring things up and downgrades Sloth to likely scum. Notably ignores Mendel's question as to how he developed his reads.

    171: mentions promising interactions, does not elaborate. mentions a map of interactions, does not elaborate. Mentions he's sticking with his current vote (Jarizok), does not elaborate. Says Sloth is acting like Sloth, which is pretty unhelpful. He hints at having all these thought and knowledges, and then doesn't bother elucidating them.

    TLDR: Asta has basically 1 post of substance, and that substance is barely there.

    Sloth - can you point out what part of your #194 answers my problems? Because I didn’t see anything that explains the issues that I raised in my previous post which no I’m not going to repeat them; it’s not too far back so respond to it? Also, kindly please Stop with the repeated referring to my posting or emotions as unnecessary. This is just literally me as a person, and it’s very off-putting and condescending. And you’ll probably just talk down to me again with the thick-skin advice, save that too.
