k so I have a lot of problems with Amanda's reads list
- After all of this time, why am I her O.N.L.Y. scum lean in her ENTIRE list? Obvious OMGUS is obvious? And her read is incredibly wishy-washy. Pretty much boils down to "Evan SR'd me, and he's never talked to me, so I don't like that, but I TR'd him cuz Seroja now idk." Her read on me is the definition of why I am having major issues with her posts - they are flufftacular, wishy-washy soapbox stands which don't actually contribute much significant content for all of their words. Amanda, I haven't interacted with you because frankly, I haven't felt it necessary to direct anything towards you when I doubt I'll ever get a straight answer or anything of worth in reply. This goes beyond IRL busyness. You're only here to make appearances and defend your teammates - that's it.
- Why does she feel it necessary to put dead/removed players in the reads? It makes no sense and honestly looks like adding fluff to the reads to me
- Lolol "Amanda1983 - town" don't put yourself in reads lists except as a joke; the fact she put herself here is really weird. Maybe she just has a thorough personality? Idk it rubs me the wrong way.
- The Locket read ends off with "I need to see more to make a better read" - which is exactly what she says for her nulls. Either she (a) forgot to change Locket to null or (b) are not too concerned with who they TR and null, which is easy for scum to do since they know who's who.
-Her farobi read is "slight town lean," but ends off with "I cannot see him as anything other than town." That is not what a "slight" townlean sounds like to me, folks. Again indicates to me that she's not really caring who she town and scum leans.
Now maybe I'm being a bit picky in the last two critiques, but I think that everything put together paints a very scummy picture for Amanda. Someone who says a bunch of things to appear helpful, but is really only making sure her teammates get townread. Her reads are incredibly self-seeking - townreading or nulling everyone but yours truly to make sure no one is pissed off. You speculate a on "eh maybe these guys could be mafia but nah gonna townlean them." Lol. I have not seen a better example of a milktoast mafia reads than Amanda's reads right here.
Please lynch Amanda next day phase. If I'm not alive, I ask you do so in my memory; and if I'm still here, I will definitely be instavoting her with no reservations. Either she's hardcore protecting scum Punchy, or hard townreading town Punchy to make herself look good ~3 hours before the flip.
- Well, two of the people I thought were scum or at least scummy are dead, and I'm not impulsive so no, I don't have a whole bunch of scum leans. Your interpretation of my read on you is rather convenient to justify your own stated perspective, but the same can be said of me about you, as well as other reads so far so I'm not going to read too much into it.
- Idk if you somehow missed it but there was some confusion caused by how I did the first reads list, so I specifically included every player this time. Just in case. But I generally do this anyway, to ensure I haven't left any names off accidentally, and for ease of reference. I see your point about it seeming like fluff, but this is just something I do.
- again, that's just something I have always done. As I did in the earlier list. Was that just not a problem for you then? I usually do add something humorous to my name before sending, but it's the last thing I write (since the reads matter, jokes don't) and given the time I was focussing on getting the reads posted asap and forgot to add anything this time.
- This seems like an issue of semantics? I said 'like' not 'need' - I *need* to see more from Dedenne2 to make a better read. Which is why I used the word 'need' then. And I am more comfortable with what I have so far for Locket and even Bianca, hence my use of the word 'like' there. I try to choose the words I mean, and I am very pedantic. By the way - of the four nulls on my list, I mentioned wanting more content from only two of them. That is because more content from them will help name determine alignment, I think. In the other cases, including yours, more content per se won't help me, but lynch results and other players interacting with you will.
- that's not what I said? I was going through what factors I was considering as most significant for reading Farobi, and why my read of them was now more than 'null'.

Wow. Dude. I would hope I could play better as Mafia!Amanda than to try not to piss off everyone but one player, especially in this context. That's so stupid a strategy I would be insulted if someone who'd played with me before raised it as something I might do.
Idgaf whether you, or any other player, likes me or my contribution to this game. I've been doing my best but I am well aware I am not the best player here, and that I need to improve the quality of content I post. Now that I can see more about why you found my content so objectionable, I do something about it. So I still find it odd, and not Pro-Town, that you chose not to engage me at all until this point.
