You have to be kidding. That's how you get reads on people; reading what they say. Encouraging people to talk is how that happens.
Do you even have some self-awareness to realize what you're saying? You ask us for our reads and then refuses to give us yours.
So throwing a vote on me for not contributing? Might as well throw that vote towards someone who isn’t doing more than I am because I’m just trying to figure out the pattern we’re seeing here.

How do you read this situation, particularly in regards to posts 419/420?
Swamp Sensei
How is this going?
Personally I just see it as paranoia from general lack of activity. Either that or I'm letting what happened in the Popcorn Mafia cloud my view of the situation. I just get a TvT vibe over TvM. Not sure what to think about post 420. It was likely just a joke, but ignoring your question is a little suspect. Though personally I think you bring up a decent point about Pokechu not really being his usual super sleuth self.I just don't know how to approach this. Shish seems to be trying to take advantage of the game state, if you look at how he's targeting me because I'm the only one putting in footwork, and then ignoring my responses as if he had some reason to tunnel to begin with.
But Shish should be a cult recruit at best, not the leader, as he wouldn't (shouldn't) have done this bizarre avatar gimmick and acted so oddly all game if he's the leader.
I asked you a couple questions in post 418, which never got answered because you posted your role PM joke instead. I thought at the time that you had done that in response to Shish's post before yours, but I see now that you only posted that a minute after Shish's post, meaning you were responding to me by not responding. Is that the case? I'd really like an answer to those questions.
Well, Shish kinda has a point but that's usually more or less your playstyle Nabe. Although it's conspicuous to say the least how both you guys are claiming similar roles or at least hinting at that.I just don't know how to approach this.

Was there something that prompted you to say this? I didn't see anyone mentioning Maven at the time of this post. I'm asking also because I'm wondering if you have eyes on anyone else.
Mostly that he's still playing out the joke that he's trainer eating pokemon. I noticed most of his posts focused on that one joke. I find it suspicious because it's also meaningless content that doesn't really contribute to cult hunting,
Well you're not doing a convincing job of showing that you are trying to figure things out, in my opinion. That could very well change if you contribute more than you already are.
It's also possible that it could be someone who is inactive. So if the person that is lynch isn't a trainer tonight, we should put a focus on some of the inactives
True enough. As stated, I really believe the trainer is not someone putting themselves in the focus. Maybe the converted pokemon, but I don't believe the trainer is trying to contribute to the thread. So in my eyes it's probably someone who's inactive in the thread, or someone who's posting enough to seem active, but doesn't really provide any meaningful information.
I'm here, just don't have much to say.AlphaSSB Where are you? I haven't seen you at all since the game started.
Nothing at all? Come on discussion is what helps us here, if you're not going to contribute you're hindering us.
I've answered your question. Unbelievable.
You've yet to say anything concerning your reads besides trying to incriminate me. Unbelievable.
If I have nothing to add, than I have nothing to add. I've just been watching everyone else. Learning.
This could be a reasonable question, but note how it's worded in a way that suggests that Shish is annoyed at the prospect of Chu and/or Swamp answering questions about the game.
This is a reasonable answer to the question. I'm saying that I don't have reads that are notable or that are worth outing at this time, and that what he's calling me out on (asking questions to others) is literally the method I'm using to get reads. Notice that throughout my other posts to other people, both prior to this post and afterwards, it is really clear which players have my attention right now. This will come into play later when Shish makes a telling comment.
No, it's not. But I already knew at this point what Shish was doing. They're suggesting that me not voicing reads because I have nothing valuable yet is the same as not voicing them because I'm avoiding the question. Perhaps Shish really does think I've avoided the question, but I choose to believe scum over dumb on this, considering the circumstances in the thread at the time. Golden had just voted for me, so the opportunity was ripe to make a move, if all you want in this game is to lynch another player. It also takes attention away from the people I'm asking questions to and puts it onto me, in an attempt to assure that I can't get reads by making me the conversation topic.
This is a very straightforward response. I tell Shish that I've responded to his question, and I try to get back to issues that matter.
Shish stonewalls me when I ask about his own reads. Notice that Shish never actually addresses my response or explains why it doesn't count in his eyes, which would be the right way to handle this situation if he were town actually trying to get to the bottom of things. Instead, Shish is pretending he's got me figured out, and treats me like luggage.
At this point, I'm annoyed. I've been nothing but straightforward throughout this entire process. I tell Shish flatly that I'm putting in work, and that I'm the only one doing so, and that he's looking in the wrong place. If he were town, he would take a second and reread at this point rather than going into a tunnel.
In response, Shish says, "Give me something," which at this point is the same to me as saying, "I'm looking for something real that I can base your lynch on." Again, it's really clear at the time of this post where my attention is directed, and Shish is either blindly missing that, or intentionally doing so. Shish hammers on this point that I'm under-contributing, when I'm contributing far more to the game than a large group of other players, including Shish.
I point out how absolutely bat**** Shish's reasoning is, that I clearly answered the question by saying I'm working on reads, and he is trying to demonize me for doing that while pretending I'm not answering the question. I also point out, again, how Shish is only working to damper conversation at the detriment of meaningful momentum in the game, which is obviously not a town move.
At this point, Shish has devolved into simply mirroring my sentence structure like a petulant child. Once again, Shish repeats the previous post verbatim without addressing anything I've said. Presumably, that's because everything that I've said devalues his one and only talking point.
I stop trying to talk to Shish, because he's only interested in being a wall for the sake of being a wall. Instead, I lay out my read on Shish, and ask others what they think of what's transpired.
Again, Shish reiterates the same talking point, verbatim, saying that I haven't answered the question, and suggesting that I'm under-contributing. "You don't have any reads," Shish says, responding to my post in which I give my read on Shish.
Again, I make a post and Shish mirrors my sentence structure while repeating his point. The only difference now is that he throws in a comment about me trying to "incriminate" him, presumably because I keep calling out his absurdly scummy tunnel on me.
Swamp Sensei
This is a weird instance of parallel wording. I've already drawn a bit of attention to this, but I would be remiss in not mentioning it directly if I'm potentially lynched toDay. At minimum, it suggests Golden paying attention to Swamp at some level of consciousness. I don't have a hard read on this yet, but considering the situation and what Shish is trying to justify hammering on about me, I may as well throw incomplete, moistened, floppy reads onto the table.
How about now?
Do you still feel this way given my explanation of the situation? I suspect that you just hadn't read the back-and-forth in depth, rather than genuinely thinking this.
AlphaSSB
who clearly doesn't know how to get the ball rolling on participating in the game.
Up until now, I was unsure even with the mixed messages between the two of you. But now that you have convinced me for the time being...
Very well then. if you feel that way, I can explain that I'm still learning the game as well as I've done pretty poorly in the other games I've encountered. So more of trying to learn the errors I made from the previous game and want to be more observing before pointing fingers and having it backfire. I haven't voted until now because I'm unsure on who to vote. I could've voted Shiny, but I didn't because I felt it wasn't right plus he got his roles confused and I didn't want to target anyone until I see something going on that sounds suspicious.
just on mobile and suuuuper super busy
Welp, I may need better glasses as it looks like I skimmed through this one lol
Are you claiming non-Pokemon? Because, here's the thing.
