i don't have a lot of experience with monty besides getting stomped in a game on CFC years ago, but I associate his analytical approach with genuine solving, and I don't feel there is genuine solving involved here. they're smart-sounding posts for the sake of appearing smart. there isn't really much you can do on d1, tbf, but that's why you just go with vibes instead of milking a rock for all it's worth
How did rask lean extremely hard into a town read on you?

I want to ask you more about your expectations on Monty's analytical approach and how it matches up here, but I'm not sure there's more to explain with what's here. But if you have more, I'd love to hear it. I can't make up my mind on whether or not I think Monty is scum or if I'm just confused by him.

Is your homesite the syndicate? I think I've specced some games with syndicate people and enjoyed their approach. I wish I could remember the names; it's been a long time.

You pointing out your wolf tells here and there is endearing. Not sure if it's alignment indicative, but I enjoy it nonetheless.

but it doesn't really parse anyway since you throw in a certainty that both rask and monty are misyeet bait while neither of them make it onto your limited town list
And this is a bit of a mind meld

nothing from tammy has seemed AI yet (maybe feeling the desire to explain her playstyle is a touch wolfy? but i'm not going there today anyway)

leaving me with ender, i guess?

though it feels like this is just gonna be a game where i struggle to have strong reads (like every other game)
Is Monty hard to read in general?

I expected to get called out for that actually! It's more important to me that people don't end up confused today and I get some suspicion for explaining it than the alternative. (Sadly enough I think I'm probably out of my scum range. At least I think I am; I haven't drawn scum in years and I expect that to be a terribly obvious showing when I do. Hope not though!)

Why ender? Is that implying you scum read him or would be willing to vote him or is that just spitballing thoughts? (Oh you vote him later, so I guess it's an actual scum read.) I think he's town are you saying my tone read sucks?

Nope, this is not allowed. I joined this game specifically to play with you and you are not allowed to leave night one!

I like Ladd's posts, nothing groundbreakingly town in them, but I get that feel nonetheless.

Monty - when you say that you are bracing to humiliatingly misread Ender, do you usually scum read them when town or town read them as scum?

(Man I hate posting like this.)
