I dont know how I feel about my spot in that list

I disagree here

And here

use your words please

shrug

thereā€™s posts youā€™ve made that go both ways for me

seeing how people treat my spot in particular gives me more insight on their intentions than seeing them treat other slots because i know what my alignment is with a 100% certainty and i do not know anyone elses alignment with said certainty

i mighta put cat a bit too high fwiw

but i wouldnā€™t yeet it today

and thats a large basis of what im looking for right now

Does Leafia not stand out to you?

I mean, a little selfish, but sure, I donā€™t think your alignment should matter, except in terms of like self-preservation, you can read context of votes without knowing the alignment of the person they are voting

You changed your reasoning.

in what way

i donā€™t think im comfortable giving leafia a strong read in either direction because leafia plays a very strange game as either alignment

the only game i townread her when she was town she literally essentially hardclaimed a nearly impossible to fakeclaim PR on D1

and then died N1

elaborate

even in the game where i was an informed spectator who knew leafia was town i still thought she was being moderately wolfy

i donā€™t want to touch that slot right now

Woo readslist!

  • SirDerpsALot - Nulltown - Quite a few of these posts look low-effort, and that makes them look a bit agenda-y. But thereā€™s other posts that just donā€™t make as much sense from scum, as well as a healthy bit of analysis later on. tbh this one could go either way.

  • Wazza - Scumread - Thereā€™s literally nothing here. And by literally nothing I mean a floating TR of sulit and otherwise sheeping vulgard. Certainly seems uninterested in the game (and has said as much). Potential for easy association reads but Im not gonna mess with that until a flip.

  • Centuries - Nullscum - Couple of good interactions, not a ton of analysis. Maybe itā€™s a bit early to expect it anyways. Not deathtunneling townie like homestuck. Has a readslist but besides that seems to be going after the ā€œeasyā€ questions for scum ie. explaining leafia behavior but not really trying to read her.

  • CatLover - Townread - As I found in my standalone iso of her, thereā€™s a lot of analysis and solving, and it all seems very reasonable. (ie. not being forced into certain conclusions)

  • Vulgard - Scumlean - A ton of energy even out of the gate. Lots of posts and opinions, which I sorta like. But also, the reasoning behind a lot of this stuff seems kinda lacking to me. Idk but a fair bit makes more sense to me from scum than from town.

  • an_gorta_pratai - Null -

boom isoā€™d

  • sulit - Townlean - I feel like the main difference between here and DGADT is that sulit was just kinda generally suspicious of everything in that game. Iā€™m not seeing any of that here. Also a bit more engagement. But seriously half of their iso is one wordā€¦

  • CallMeIo - Nullscum - A lot of what I read seemed to me like publicly rating other peopleā€™s actions, more than actually trying to develop reads. Although a lot of that might be coming from the copious exclamations.

  • Elephas - Townread - Iā€™m liking their progressions a lot. Their reasoning is pretty clear to me in what theyā€™re saying and it makes sense. They have some good solvey energy. kind of how I wish I could be playing if I had more time

  • Leafia - Townlean - They seem to be having Objectively Better Townplayā„¢ than what I remember from Homestuck. I really like the change, my only issue is I canā€™t decide between ā€œtownier than towngame means townā€ and ā€œdeviation from towngame means scumā€. Probably the former tbh.

  • Moleland - Scumread - This one might be worth a post of its own, but thereā€™s quite a bit going on here. Thereā€™s no solving to speak ofā€“if something pings them they call it scummy and move on, rather than any sort of followup or attempt to understand. Openly provoking and shading leafia.

  • ash4fun - Town - Iā€™m not even gonna joke that Iā€™m obvtown, ik my posts have been super underwhelming so far. Iā€™m probably not gonna be able to keep up at one point or another, but Iā€™m trying to contribute as best I can with everything thatā€™s going on.

  • katze - Townread - A fair bit of reasonable takes. Not a ton of effort until #783. After that point I can read their progressions a lot better.

  • Wisp - Scumlean - Thereā€™s a lot of free opinions floating about. I feel like a lot of what theyā€™ve done could easily be tmireads or parroting town consensus. Nothing really jumps out to me as towny in any way.

  • Flameo - Townlean - I feel like I can see where their headā€™s at. Pretty questioning approach to solving, I like that.


So now that I have a profile on everybody, hopefully I can engage a bit more meaningfully : )

Also I should probably do something with my vote
/vote Moleland

Chose them over wazza because wazza seemed pretty upset and that might have caused a bunch of the stuff I SRā€™d them on; if wazza improves a bunch Iā€™ll reevaluate based on that.

@ash4fun
what are my reads?
and you continue to talk about yourself being underwhelming
and who makes a read on themself?

am I the only one that is taking Derps first post seriously?

Why is mole being voted

knowing derps it doesnā€™t mean much

wouldnā€™t put it past them to write that as JOAT but I also wouldnā€™t put it past them to write it as VT/Scum

Without looking?

I donā€™t really know, I didnā€™t see much beyond one-off "this looks scummy/towny"s.

Going back and lookingā€¦

yeah itā€™s spread over like 50 posts. I could make a list based off of them but I donā€™t really want to.

eh, itā€™s not a read of myself, more an opinion on my own performance so far. And as for underwhelming, content aside Iā€™m at like 1/3 my usual posting by this point. And whatā€™s there half of it is trying to make up for me being confusing.

I donā€™t think itā€™s unreasonable to assess that Iā€™m not doing so hot rn.

But I also know thatā€™s not helping anything so Iā€™ll shut up about it.
