3. Convince people- Whether it be by an Occam's Razor deduction case or a sickening appeal to emotions, it doesn't matter as long as you get people to do what you want them to do.

Ever wonder how the heck I get the weird reads I do? I'll tell you! It took me a while to get a feel for how I naturally want to read people. I realized relatively quickly that I don't read people based on logic most of the time. I have discovered that my natural way to read people is by reading into their psyche. I already know how to twist a knife into people so they get really uncomfortable, that's not the problem. The problem is learning how to interpret the signs that I am wearing the Scum down and then interpreting that into a read. The way I read people largely has to do with that fact that Scum give off a very specific vibe when they are feeling pressured. What I try to do is put people through psychological distress in order to get a read out of them. Its much akin to a criminal being interrogated and feeling the pressure to confess. This way of reading people is not the best way to read people, but it is the best thing I have right now. Town can very well feel a similar pressure that a Scum might, but often times their reactions are different. I aim to perfect this type of reading people to be so proficient at it that I will be able to tell when anyone is lying.

Last Reads Notes For On Site Town Games Before I Died
Game Win/Loss Day finished Read Notes
Newbie 1609: Flavorless Mafia Win Lynched Day 1 My reads were either really bad or decent depending on how you look at it. Just before I died I had Fro99er as mafia and Cho AKA Marquis as mafia. Fro99er was the Town Cop that game and Marquis was in fact mafia. I think the last thing I said in the thread before my hammer was "Cho choked."
Star Treck Deep Space Nine Season 1 Win Lynched Day 1 This was a large role madness setup game made up of 21 players. 7/20 of my reads were dead wrong. 7.5/20 of my reads were correct. 5/20 of my reads were either Null reads or inconclusive
Mini 1682 Loss Lynched Day 1 I never made a reads list this game. I was under the assumption that I was going to get lynched so I did what I could by making a case against a player that was relatively new like myself and basically said "look at this person if flip today." Turns out I was right about that person being scum. That person survived until the day before Lylo and survived until they were lynched day 5.
Newbie 1635 Win Survived My reads were all over the place this game and for good reason. The scum that was lynched Day 1 had a total of only 12 posts. I was not on the wagon because someone claimed intent and then someone else quick hammered. The other Scum slot was replaced twice. The first out of the three for the second mafia member had a whopping 2 posts. The next person to take the slot had 29 posts and it was all pretty much content. The only reason that they were lynched day two is because they dropped and didn't even submit a NK. The third to take the slot never even caught up with the game. Thankfully I was on scums wagon the second day.
Newbie 1638 Win Survived My reads were very so-so this game. On the one hand, all the Scum were in my Scumreads pool, but I got something pretty wrong. I had either player A and player Y were the Scum team or player B and player Z were the Scum Team when the actual Scum team were players A and B while players Y and Z were the PT. So I guess my reads were just unnecessarily complex this game. I also wasn't able to put 2 and 2 together after N2 when the unCCed Doc didn't die that night meaning that the unCCed Doc was actually Scum of course. I need to start using Occam's Razor more.
Mini 1710: A Midnight Sun Loss Killed Day 4 My reads were... weird this game. Someone said I had seriously voted for the entire Scum team Day 1. Those reads changed. I ended up having some weird reads on Scum but did have some good Town reads. I don't know what to think about how I played this game. Someone said I was the MVP of the game, but I think that could have been in jest. IDK, read the game and see for yourself. It was a good game so worth the read.


1. Be confident- Self-explanatory. People naturally gravitate toward confident people. When you show no weakness you are telling people you are right when others are wrong.


2. Trust your Gut- The single best way to read people. A lot of the time people cannot consciously know if someone is genuine or not, but the subconscious can usually tell.


3. Convince people- Whether it be by an Occam's Razor deduction case or a sickening appeal to emotions, it doesn't matter as long as you get people to do what you want them to do.
