This could be weird. Why is Lag the one that is capable of finding out congresspeople coms? Why call him out? Why the awkward lol at the end? Seems hesitant tone to me.

I might be giving too many free town points for people that remember other games, but unless Gikkle is scum team with Paopan, I don’t see scum Gikkle defending Paopan like this with meta reads. Town points

It'd make more sense for T!oliverz, if he thought he understood what T!Lag would do, to wait a little while longer to actually be sure Lag wouldn't say anything about optimal mech play. Instead he attacked Lag immediately, making it so Lag could very easily wiggle out of it if the meta WERE in fact true, and then his future posts kind of drop the topic (only briefly mentioning it in his most recent post) and focus more on mech.
Whole thing feels strange and I'm not quite sure if Oliverz genuinely believed what he was saying (that Lag not immediately making a grand plan within the first 12 posts of the game is scummy for them, despite the fact Lag did not do this in the last game he played with them) or if he was doing it just to look like he was coming into the game swinging.
I also find the 2 people immediately TRing him (voss and lag) and the 1 person actually joining his push (mm) rather strange. Voss has a weird, semi robotic tone which pinged me early on, so out of those 3 I find him the weirdest.
Talking about why Oliverz should have waited, and talking about how lag and Oliver could have staged their interaction seems/(seemed?) towny to me. Maybe Gikkle is being too tin foil though, because I believed Oliverz, but also. Maybe there’s more context here?
I also liked how gikkle called out my tone, which was one of the reasons why I TRed him. Maybe I have some thing where I TR people who SR me. Reverse OMGUS? It is parroting Guillo a bit so…

Mind meld on wrinkles, and I like the tone.

This seems less opportunistic and more genuine. It’s a continuation on the earlier post.

This is very consistent to scum read me. Town points

Yes, I would also like to see Oliverz speak more about this - he ignored the last time I addressed him, not sure if he just missed it though.
Remembering that he was ignored seems like a town thing. Tone is soft here though

If you're trying to give Oliverz the benefit of the doubt and argue it's possible he wasn't being super literal/exaggerating a bit in his accusation, that's one thing, but arguing that's OBVIOUSLY what Oliverz was going for is a bit strange when there is always the possibility he's just straight up scum going for early aggression.
The attention to nuance here makes me think town again.

If Oliverz is scum, MM is likely town.
No comment on this post, but it seems important. Ugh. This is lame. I’d say this is a scum lean post, because I think MM is for sure a town. I don’t think MM is big brain enough to pocket me for my play style this game.
If Gikkle is town, Oliverz is scum, bc I trust the read.

Not sure if this is just because you misinterpreted what I was saying? You never responded to me correcting you about what I meant by "early aggression") to dismiss my whole point about the possible justification S!Oliverz may have had where it would make sense for them to make a literal post like that so early on.
Your prior explanation for why Oliverz was town ( #168 ) didn't make much sense either. Here is what you said:
"There is a tone change in Lag. Pointing it out, starting the discussion strongly, making people take a stance about his read, all of this is towny and does not seem to be accidental. Oliver gets a townread from me for this; he's doing what a townie should do at gamestart, and I tend to start my town games in a similar manner whenever it's possible and I feel like getting into action quickly. "
This does not match up with what Oliverz has actually done.
"Pointing (Lag's alleged change in tone) out" - This is Marshmallow putting words in Oliverz mouth, which is what we talked about afterwards and which he acknowledges as a possibility in #179. The only thing Oliverz did publicly say was that Lag wasn't doing a full mechanical plan and "being smart town" like they were last game. Oliverz did not point out any kind of change in tone or anything like that.
"Starting the discussion strongly" - Strongly worded, sure. I wouldn't call it "starting the discussion strongly" though, as it wasn't strong in it's structure, considering he doesn't talk about it all after that and the explanation is pretty lackluster.
"Making people take a stance about his read" - Never happened.
This is just a very strange read altogether and seems a lot like you're trying to justify something you don't really believe in. Maybe I'm wrong? It's just weird on the surface and your answers so far have only raised more questions.
Sorry if this doesn't make much sense or is jumbled, I'm a bit tired.
Scum lean post for continuing to scum read MM. The apology at the end reminds me of the “lol” giklle put in at the end of a post. Awkward. I’m a “BIT” tired. Not tired. And also the apology seems like Gikkle is self conscious about what he’s doing. Maybe Gikkle is that type of person. Going to need someone else to chime in on Gikkle, because I sure as fuck aren’t going to read other game to get a read on them.

The vote though, is towny. No one scum reads MM (I think) except for Gikkle. Could be scum just setting up for another day though.
