saw one post that felt too extreme of a position given that nearly nothing had happened yet

I could see the scenario where Flower and Poyser are scum together before I see the scenario where scum Flower tries to engage Town Poyser in that fashion. My current position is Town Flower from vibes but that's my consideration anyway. Mind explaining why my entrance is "sus" btw @Poyser ?

not sure how u can get all of that by one post tbh
 
I do feel like Ultra's scum read of Poyser is a little performative. That actually feels like a read he is making to be seen doing something over actually believing it, to echo Poyser's earlier sentiment. Agree on hime being Town, Melkor seems fine too though no strong leaning on him. Tempest lean town for coming to similar reads as I.
Performative in whatb way? What similar reads are those?

Who do you want to vote?

Well all that really is, is me lusting out the possible scenarios and picking the one I think is most plausible. It's not really all that telling, it's just my thought process mapped out.

So to contextualize this, I also had some reservations about Poyser, but felt that some of his posts have been good enough to more or less shore up those reservations. So to see Ultra being as decisive as he is about his read felt off to me - he is not the same player as me, so I don't expect the same process, but I think his read lacks due consideration, and possibly is faking confidence. There is room for this to come from him as town too, so I'm not saying it makes him scum, but it's something that draws my attention. So to answer your question, I would say he feels performative in that he's taking a swing at Poyser moreso than he is genuinely coming to that read.

I liked Tempest's read on hime, Melkor, and while it came (I saw it rather) after I posted that, I liked his Evans read too. Like his read on you too but I don't have one on you really outside of a slight town lean on tone.

As for voting, too early for me to answer that. If I had to pick, I'd say Evans, because him coming in to take a swing at Flower is exactly what I would expect from him as scum and I've seen him do just that before.
 
I can buy that tbf. Still find it weird your reading me town this game, when all you've done as town since i returned is read me scum. Something i'm gonna keep note of, if you flip scum btw. Infact, I remember you reading me town a lot as mafia, so I'd be a distraction/pocket me.
Pretty small sample size to be drawing conclusions from. I'm not gonna put any stock in your recollection of games from several years ago
You'd know, I had the tendency to OMGUS more as town and favor those who townread me since it didn't happen often.

Should I take back my benefit of doubt? What are your real thoughts on Ultra? Any read on Poyser?
Do whatever you feel like!

Ultra feels soft but willing to believe he's busy so will defer judgement

No real thoughts on Poyser yet
 
You're misconstruing my point. I am not saying you admitting to only having one read is performative. I'm saying the level of conviction you purport to have in the read (as in, the read itself) is performative.

Dawg I don't know how my push on Poyser could be any less performative. I mean given my capability for hamming up a push I'd say this is about a 3/10 at best

Anyone else wanna weigh in on this because I feel like Ratchet's full of shit here

When btw? Most recent game I played with him was Christmas and he death tunneled me when we were both Town.

What did you think of Ultra calling me an instigator? I understoood what you meant about Ultra after you talked about his conviction re: Poyser, but thanks for clarifying. He did have a lot of fake conviction on SK as town 2 games ago, only coming into certainty once he sniffed out the watcher hint by Ekko. So i can see where the uncertainty comes from. He think he has a lot less on Poyser than he did on SK that game before he faked watcher, but i mean there was a lot more daylight too tbf.

What do you expect my tone to be like as scum?

As far as Melkor goes, I like that he's actively asking questions and going against the grain with his vote on CP. Don't really have a read on Evans tbf. I kinda feel like he'd come out swinging as town too.

How was my conviction on SK "fake"? You think I just go about making shit up as town?
