i’d encourage you to try to be more confident with your reads and stances
i don’t really remember you taking any confident stands at all early into the game (if you did i genuinely forgot them) and it makes you hard to really get a grasp on
i think around the time the NK PoE was me and you, you became more and more towny (and i started slipping) but prior to that point nobody had any reason to think you were town
this is actually a super legitimate tell particularly for people who don’t know it’s a thing
like, from a less experienced player, trying to avoid responsibility for a lynch that later flips town (while still pushing it) is a scumtell and trying to take credit for a lynch that later flips town is a towntell
(this is somewhat fakeable if you know it’s a thing)
I still find this a little bit bizarre because I’ve barely pushed any agenda in this game at all.
My play during the first 3 days was “produce fake content and engage with people to live to get another convert”.
This is just my intuition and I can’t explain it, but little things like that sets off red flags
I am sure Alice would have, but stuff like this is what makes me upset because no one thinks I am very credible. I can’t explain how my mind works, but that’s the kind of stuff that goes through my mind when I do make reads
I am not saying to sheep my reads entirely, but don’t just dismiss them either because “lolgut reads”
its a lot easier to understand a read and potentially be swayed by it if it’s backed up with logic and stuff
“gut reads” aren’t really convincing and aren’t hard to fake
thats not a jab at you or anything
I know it’s not a jab at me, but I don’t take notes, don’t really have much time to analyze, and mostly do gut reads
a couple super clear examples (so people can see what I mean)
wolf
shoots villager
hits villager
‘even if this flips town don’t scumread me for it!!1!’
town
‘I’m a villager because I defended [flipped villager], pushed [flipped wolf], and pushed [not-yet-flipped villager]’
(n.b. I’m not calling RT inexperienced but they’ve literally never had a wolf game)
They only time I hard Town lock known scum in my eyes is if I’m Traitor or Scum Sided Neutral.
Normally has Group Scum I’d never do that.
My Non Group Scum and Group Scum Meta is very different.
My Non Group Scum is closer to my Town Meta then my scum.
