I also don't like this from thomith, comparing wildly different ISOs and playstyles and calling them similar like that. the only thing they have in common is that they didn't post much.
Which is why when I was told by two separate people I was wrong I decided its best to reread through them today from a fresh perspective.
There's a chance I was wrong when I did a quick read through yesterday, but I'll look in more depth today.

im not sure how sold i am on the case but at least im pretty sure this is town!gimli
how confident are you on town!jupiter?
not 100% by any means but i think he was pretty towny
i don't reallllly want to go into analysis of the emotional aspect, i think a lot of that was independent of alignment and came from other factors and i could clearly see beforehand that the dominoes were lining up for that to happen (maybe i should have been more forceful about trying to direct things elsewhere idk), but there's some elements of it that i think are more likely to be town
the rest of the play also mostly feels like it's coming from a town mindset to me
im not gonna like clear the slot for the rest of the game but im not interested in looking there today
I see
I think I wanna clear the slot at least as far as d1 goes, especially on the vt claim, as that's shortsighted if he is mafia for obvious reasons
you're still voting jake. is that still your top scumread?

and as i said a while ago i think they felt a little more lost/disconnected in their town game than in their scumgame so i don't think it's a scumtell
i don't really think thats count/helping the claim
Those games were very different situation, and also the knowing people thing
I'm not sure if you misinterpreted what fireisred is saying here
are you taking issue with fireisred saying you're more likely to be a townie?
is the 'knowing people thing' making a real difference to how you're approaching this game, making you post less and feel disconnected, in relation to your town games?

kay, would you say you play a more diplomatic style as scum?
do you have finished scum games that I can check?
I have one finished game as scum, my very first game. I’d been accused of doing a lot of AtE in that game about being new but the posts where I was upset about being accused/blamed for things for being new or that I was being performative, etc. were all real from me. I wasn’t doing those things as scum, just from frustration of how I was being treated for my newness. You can find the same kinds of posts in my other games. But you can make up your own mind if you think I’m acting the same in this game, I don’t think I am. But I also wasn’t having to constantly defend myself in my scum game either so I don’t know how helpful that will be if you’re trying to get a baseline.
liking everything i've been seeing from gimli so far. was already townreading the slot and everything since he repped in has looked like a pretty genuine thought process to me.
black fireisred and halfasleep are all town to me
i dont want to think about purple right now and kjq seems too underwhelming to be scum
so you might actly be right
given a little pause by kay's description of her previous scumgame sounding so similar to what she's been doing here. genuinely don't know if scum-kay should or would admit to that much.
probably
NAI, though i think. doesn't seem like the kind of post i should be letting myself be swayed by either way.

i don't exactly feel great about it but i haven't really seen anything towny there
he hasn't rolled scum in like 3 years as far as i could find but i think that trying to be continually present in the thread and appearing unconcerned with the game is just a personality trait
and i don't feel like his ventures into playing the game feel particularly like they have a real organic thought process and real reads behind them
To not keep attacking people that are vocal, to open up paths to pivot to literally any single person they want without damaging their progression. Things like this.
Is it unconventional? Sure.
Does it mean they’re town? Not necessarily
"Am I a ghost like you, caught between the seams of two intertwining melodies?"
I had a readslist last night and you said 'I'll wait for everyone to respond first' - cause of course you did - remember that? it had you and mango as scum. I then made a big post on mango afterwards, and then I ISO'd you this morning. how do you go from acknowledging my post with updated reads on everyone (2 pages ago?) to ask me for an updated reads list now? did you forget?
btw what exactly feels like busywork? painting everyone green, does that appear busy to you?
