But the counterplay is in Town’s hands; as in being able to determine whether or not it’s a ‘pocket’ attempt or attempt to not be productive in main thread
I only used whispers in Airlock to communicate with aliens, really
(Or to talk to yourself and just agree with you)
Reads should generally be out in the open
Certain reads definitely should not be
Basically only use neighborhoods to give those ‘certain reads’ or to discuss night actions.
People should only be talking with townreads as well.
The main reason is that it would be very easy for people to play to the heart strings and pocket people individually and this is how wolves slip through the cracks, which is why anything that is said should be in the main thread. I have personally had this happen to me before, so I know what I am talking about
They can play to peoples heart strings and easily pocket people. In a public space others might pick up on those attempts, but not in dms. Kyo easily pocketed me because they played to my emotions and I didn’t think a thing about it. If that were in a public thing others might have noticed it and called it out
