Is it bad to already have a tr?

Sadly, that's just my entire ms personality!In post 26, T3 wrote:"Is it bad to already have a tr" indicates to me that Bella has a degree of self-consciousness and feels the need to ask permission from the thread to express her thoughts.In post 22, JupiterXV wrote: may i inquire why you scumread bella?
Black kinda said it but I expected scum to either go harder on the read, (i.e not saying that if I was new it would be scummier), or less hard (more appease-y, not ignoring me asking then to guess my tr), whereas what's they've done is explained a thought process and then moved on, especially because I was like 'ok cool'.i also don't think scum would draw attention to themselves over something that, whether T3 cared/knew about my meta or not, could really easily be disproven. Tldr their thought processes are clear and I can't see the utility in taking the approach they did for scumIn post 109, Aisa wrote: Bella why do you think T3 is likely town?
Apparently this is a more controversial take than I thought it was? I might be way off but I've really likes the way that shadow has explained their thoughts and I can see an overall process that I vibe with. A lot of what I do day one is find people who's thoughts I can work with. I've had this massively backfire once or twice (my last game with Implosion) but I'm still weak to it.
They seem more filler than content, overly nice and not really taking stances? People like Titus are getting sussed for it but aisa isn't. Plus, I didn't like their vote, it felt very temperature check rather than a read
These things are kind of the same day one but it's also meta based: recently I've been fairly good at reading titus and I find her a useful presence in the game - I've also been able to find her as scum ok before, so I'd rather not lim them day one.In post 251, ProjEctRy wrote:In post 248, Titus wrote:How am I so townread?

Titus isn't someone I'd lim today.
P-edit it feels like something I would feel worried about as scum, that's all.
Yeah @Bella, why would your position be ‘Titus isn’t someone I’d lim today’?
Aside from saying Kurtapika was ‘awkward and distant’ Titus hadn’t contributed anything else of note by that point so how come you were so opposed?
Shouldn’t your position be that you had no read rather than Titus being off the table?
I tr T3 for very similar reasons to me tr ing shadow, but I disagree that the defence is scummy: I like finding town more than scum and the wagon was rubbish.In post 263, Dannflor wrote: I don't want to push T3 while he's on V/LA btw
I think Bellaphant's defense of T3 was scummy regardless of T3's alignment, and I want her to explain why shaddowez is her top town read.
Maybe Dannflor is town and I'm just moody with them. O.oIn post 304, Dannflor wrote: I don't think Titus is super town but I don't really think she's scummy either. Her tone/demeanor feels pretty relaxed in a good way imo. Her gut reactions/takes have seems pretty genuine and it seems like her posting hasn't really been geared towards trying to get town read, so I guess I slightly lean town on her?
I'm not saying don't vote her Jupiter but of your two scum reads I view shaddowez less favorably personally
Can you rephrase the bit about shadow, Ower and aisa? Also, it makes me Sus that you have this many opinions on me without engaging me. Especially because out of everyone you also know my meta?In post 313, Black wrote:I'm struggling. I feel like it has been a lot easier finding town this game than it has been finding scum. That probably means I'm wrong about somebody but that's pretty standard. I have a gut feeling that there's at least one scum in the lurky non-talkers which is why I wanted the mod to start poking peopleIn post 306, Dannflor wrote: black where are your scum reads at
I think bella and shaddow could be scum together. I know bella said the TR on shaddow was vibes but I just don't understand where those vibes could have came from and I'm starting to think 13 is the scummy kind of performative. I don't agree with a lot of her reads which doesn't make her scum but it always feels weird when someone is seeing things so differently than me
With shaddow I didn't like 188 very much. I think OWER is fairly townie so his comment to Aisa here feels like a read scum might sheep to go against the grain. 215 feels like a softball question to a partner considering bella already went over this feeling earlier but I'll admit this may just be conf bias
Maybe I explained this badly: knowing I'm town, when I see a thought process that seems to be mirroring mine, I'm more likely to town bin it. I also do know that I'm weak to certain playstyles too and am just more likely to see 'thoughtful' and 'reaaonable' as town and 'aggresive' as slightly scummier..In post 353, Black wrote:What about his explanations make you think they are more likely to come from town?In post 344, Bellaphant wrote: Apparently this is a more controversial take than I thought it was?

You say your read on T3 is similar but to me it doesn't feel like shaddow and T3 are explaining their thoughts the same, or maybe I'm just not seeing it. Can you elaborate here?
To me it felt like shaddow was sheeping an opinion in order to cast shade on OWER, whereas Aisa's original opinion felt more like a genuine thought that made her unsure of OWER's alignment. I could be wrong but that's how I perceived itIn post 344, Bellaphant wrote: Can you rephrase the bit about shadow, Ower and aisa?
What do you mean by "this many opinions"? It's like one opinion and it's based off one of the few interactions we hadIn post 344, Bellaphant wrote: Also, it makes me Sus that you have this many opinions on me without engaging me. Especially because out of everyone you also know my meta?
Why do you think I'm familiar with your meta?

T3's post pinged me because 1. he was playing on Bella's post, which I thought could be a way to try to insert himself into the conversation as scum, 2. he came off as kinda serious and antagonistic while doing so, which again I thought could be scum-indicativeIn post 63, T3 wrote:I don't want to answer for Aisa but I think that because my statement in 15 was intended to play on Bella's statement in 13, my 15 could appear to be more abrasive, in a sense.
What about this post feels townie to you? None of the discussion points seem to provide any useful information, and the explanations of self-consciousness almost feel like they're WKing Bella here (as does their random interjection defending Bella into the OutWorldER/Aisa posts).
I'm getting a TR on OutWorldER based on 93 and the interactions leading up to it.
That said, getting a ping here:
VOTE: Jupiter
It feel like they sawsomereason to vote T3 and have been hanging on to it. 70 sounds like they're starting to form a reason to back out of their vote, without having to look anywhere else just yet.
In post 209, shaddowez wrote:As a real answer, I don't see this as a worthwhile wagon. My primary SR right now is the first vote and it doesn't feel like a bus, so it'd be a pretty big swing for me to switch those reads right now. The second vote is an RVS vote from somebody with 2 posts. I do have a slight TR on both you and Aisa right now, but that's not enough for me to hop on just yet.
The first post, I really vibe with the start and end, less so the middle. The second post, I could just see myself as town thinking/writing. The third was what I thought you were referring too, like this was a buddy interaction
This feels like you have a conclusion and are talking towards it..also weird that you don't remember me being aggressively wagoned day one?In post 378, Black wrote:You were more aggressive as town in the Newbie I just linked. This just makes me think you're purposelyIn post 374, Bellaphant wrote: I remembered something about Black's reads: they are occasionally really weird when she's town, in a way that I think is harder to fake when scum..
I'd also forgot that yeah, it's been one game. I think scum!Bella and scum black have a bit in common in that I'm way more aggressive as scum, and I find things weirdly harder to explain as town; I used to get wagonnrd as town every day one, I think because people think I'm being evasive when it's just a lack of clarity,/confidence..it hasn't happened for ages though, so I thought I'd improved!notbeing aggressive this game because you think that's how you play as scum
Most of everything you posted while I was alseep last night seemed to be progression focused, I liked your take on Titus, I like your take on krup now, I think my main issue with your slot was maybe a playstyle thing.
The answer is literally in what you quoted? YIn post 493, Black wrote:In post 402, Bellaphant wrote: They give me super mixed vibes?

I was engaged but I'm finding the last few pages hard: I don't know if black is scum but she is sure seeming to be jumpy at /everyone/.In post 809, Aisa wrote: Bella's posting this game feels a bit different from what I am used to frombothher town game and her scum game!

She seems a bit more engaged than what I am used to and looks a bit more towny
I feel a bit less indignant about her read on me now and am talking myself into townleaning her
