The main reason to care that people's townreads of you are well reasoned is a reduced chance to move off it. If you ask a townie "why do you townread angela" and the townie gives an answer but realizes their own answer was brief and uninspiring they are more likely to drop the read.

I picked Angela because I tried to make up a fake name that is not you but comparable to you and accidentally figured out how you constructed your account name, sorry demona x.x

In post 1071, Faker wrote:They're definitely not the same and I highlighted a difference
in that post
about the most important difference to me, which was the contrast with Slaughter Hour.

I don't really want to go too much further on this at the moment. If you believe that I should have you as hardtown because of the differences I've highlighted here (town-shiki centric perspective in Slaughter Hour, more reactive in Trust Fall) or some other thing I should have gleaned, then OK.

I'm a lot more curious to hear about other people's thoughts on why you're town than debate myself about why you're nulltown over hardtown when the answer is "I'm not confident in your range or in reading you at the current time."
nono when i said that i was referring to my reaction to your original post linking the trust fall game and saying my approach to questioning was similar

i do not believe that you
should
have me as hardtown here i would simply be okay with it if you did

as always (at least when i'm town) i would prefer everyone sort me upfront as much as possible so whoever is town can work from more correct view of the game and such

i actually kinda think your implication that i could have just lifted the perspective from slaughter hour and applied it here was fine and logical

This is probably superfluous but I'm not going to be upset about the yelling stuff even if you're scum, to be clear. It's really fine.

For the first part of the video I also contemplated just posting that I'm uncultured swine and won't appreciate the style enough but then by the last two thirds of the video I really enjoyed it.

The lyrics are very simple and seem to be about a relationship ship where someone is convinced they need to change for it to be a happy relationship. There's like this sense of surprise at the amount a person will compliantly change in response to that and then like the notes are engineered to be all mournful about that whole process and how tragic it is. The whole song is one set of lyrics repeated like 3, 4, 5 times? But it seems really appropriate.

In post 1052, Faker wrote:I'm pretty curious about people taking demona-town at face value. Demona isn't deadweight and the pattern/style of questions is pretty typical.

The most town thing to me is just the "me-town" centric perspective that is akin to Slaughter Hour, but I view that with a very heavy dose of skepticism.
I don't think the pattern/style of questions is really what does it for me, certainly not just tone. I agree that the perspective behind the posts that comes from an unabashedly town mindset is the towniest thing. Not as much the most obvious instances, more the ones where it leaks through in a way that doesn't feel faked or planned to me.

was an example for me, as well as . Even and has touches of it for me. The approaches to other slots don't feel like looking to punish mistakes or doing busy work. The insights feel to me like they require a deeper level of not only thinking about the game as town, but thinking about how others should be thinking about the game as town and if that matches up with what's shown in their posts. It just feels like genuine sorting, I guess.

Is your skepticism coming from feeling like these types of posts are within range, or just a standard level of feeling that this sort of thing is not hard to fake?

981 seems very inrange for anyone because it's meta pattern recognition. The others are +town content I think.

I really townread demona the most because demona's early play advances a town!demona wincon and only works in a soloQ way for scum!demona and I don't think that's how demona plays scum (and it doesn't work as well that way as it does for just town)
Which is kind of like an expansion of the "demona is centering a town!demona perspective thing" but I there's easier less abrasive things demona could have emulated if scum

For 981 it's more just that I believe that was something that demona had already thought about but hadn't felt a need to share. It's not exclusively town, true, but it helps.
