yeah, you might have a point here. I guess I'm just forcing myself to townlean Csargo, because if I start tunneling him, he always flips villa. I wouldn't be surprised to see him flip wolf here I guess.
Personally, I find it difficult to stay in touch with the thread as wolf and I also find it difficult to go against consensus reads. I think Csargo's posts here are blending with the overall flow and not loud about that. So, reconsidering this he's probably closer to a wolflean with his content.

I need to make a proper dive, but I find it that Monty's establishing vote was more likely town than Dolby's case based on me having a poor reason to suspect Monty. It feels like he might be tmi-ing Monty town.

@GeneralHankerchief i’m reading your eph stuff but it’s not really resonating much. how much did you follow along with rocks inv after you died? i feel like some of the things you’re saying about him are similar to things that were said about him particularly in the later days of that game and the only reason he wasn’t lunched for it was because he looked good off spew. and just generally i think his villa game doesn’t really project as villagery in the same way like mine or yours does. the three times i’ve seen him village (voxx 9er, rocks inv, team game) it’s been the same thing where pretty much nobody finds him villagery. obviously i haven’t seen him wolf recently so i dunno if the same would be true of his wolf game. but like, maybe you can riff off this and talk about how your perception of eph this game meshes or doesn’t mesh with your perception of his villa game?

eph was also in slep

voxx 9er and rocks are awful metrics to gauge my village game by

and team game was a special case of people being bad

how are you not mentioning lets say uh, hbs(which you were also playing in)

or if you want wolf games you've got more than plenty in the last few months where I was generally lock villa for the longest time lol

or yknow

Quick question to everyone in the thread: if you were wrong about a read, which read do you think you have wrong? One of your more confident reads, not your nulls!!

probably eph v just because i acknowledge i don’t really have a concrete reason to v read him other than generally vibing with his posts, but eh

Hardclaim vt

Your move, wolves

Who was the person who spilled the beans on the gh sauce? I think it was sunbae

I don't think sunbae cockscthat up w/w, just my gut feeling

I have a hidden eph read

I finally read GH's walls and they're good. I don't think the guy is falling off my towncore any time soon. I found myself agreeing with most of his conclusions, especially in the second post (amy/dya/monty/dolby focused). I think I would like to vote within Dolby/Rask/Csargo and I probably would join wagons on Eph/Dya if against someone who is higher in my reads. I'm seriously reconsidering Monty rn, because of Dolby mostly, but I don't think he will be a wagon today.

Ara feels somewhat similar to rocks in a somewhat

Superficial

Way

welcome rask :beam:

Esooa could be wolfing

They did a thing in italics

I'd say middling wolf tell.

If I'm a cop hally is my n0

However the only claims I'll make this game are fake mason, comms, or tracker claims, so this post doesn't mean much.

I've read it and have no relevant thoughts, sorry. I think it's something I'm fine with being pursued more if you feel like it should be but I can't say I'm on board either. I thought the first section of your concerns about not towntelling in the first two hours while others did wasn't really something I think too much about. Like by that logic you should be sketchy of me too or something. The second part is something I'm unsure on as well because I personally don't feel you're an "easy" or "lazy" target to push out of the gate as scum (and in your example its eph W, gh V).

With all that said though I'm trying to keep a more ... hands off ... approach this game and just letting others do their thing after I kinda hijacked the game for two game days last time to push my own read through. So even though I don't really see it myself at the moment I'm not going to fight some pressure there and trust you enough to do your own thing.

no thoughts head empty

no but seriously, i don’t really have a read on you beyond thinking you’ve been generally agreeable. i nodded along to your stuff about esooa last night but nothing else has really made me feel anything

But I'll give the cliff notes. Sadly, I don't have time to actually make it sound balling like I'd like

Esooa is in the game and posting. They have like the third or fourth most posts? They're claiming to have read and reread the game.

They post reads. The details are sparse but clustered. Village reads are easy. You've read the game, they look nice.

Their push on me.

Only 1 wolf read, and it's an easy consensus one to make.

The only one, but the sources cited are all very early into the thread. All posts cited are before post 200. In my experience, this (claim to read everything, out reads, find a rational in the beginning then make vague gestures for the rest)

Typically comes from wolves.

I do it. Others do it. It's a sign sign the shit you're saying is bullshit. It's not uncommon, and their read on me feels precisely like that. Their reads are nonoffensive and basic.

Ultimately, the read pings me. If it were d2 in a mash I'd do my song and dance of:

"Double down your read on me or rescind it or I'll [negative action/ITA/etc.] On you"; in mountainous desperado, I'd say "either shoot me or I'll shoot you", like with Para.

That's my general feeling at the moment.

well amy got her turn in the spotlight so i wanted to pressure you some too

Thinking about things holistically

It's probably <rand to vote people who my feeling is "distrust"; it's probably <rand to vote people who my feelings is "forgettable.

I suppose, I should vote someone else? Idk, might vanity vote and ghost the eod; I think we might be staying late in class today, and it could go through eod

her latest list has 3 wolf reads though?

granted she only explained the one on you but still

Cuths reaction to my last 3 posts should be suspicion.

Yeah, and the other two are ez consensus reads. What you're saying is the point, not a point against my feelings.
