Fake read is exactly that, a fake read. They made it up to poke the thread at early D1, and obviously it worked since we are having this convo

Exactly what it sounds like? I dont think eliza did that with any intention of actually going somewhere with that push
In that case why did you add that hedge to your post? You said you didnât think Eliza had malicious intent earlier in the post itself
if i make an overly-waffle-y post, i sometimes read it over before posting to check that it actually makes sense. i donât for most posts though. as for the second thing, i donât intentionally frame my posts in a way that i think will get me townread, but i do try to avoid saying stupid shit that will get me wolfread without adding anything of value to the game. some people say i post to get townread, but i think this is because i try to make the content/post ratio as high as possible so people waste less time reading through fluff.
yeah, i understand. think this game might be difficult tbh.
How is saying âfrom my point of viewâ ever a hedge? Sure, it was redundant and bad grammar from me but thats no more hedgy then just the âi thinkâ by itself
I agree, at least for me, this game is gonna be hard
Hmm interesting thanks for confirming
This is uh something I didnât think would be the case for you considering your tone was so freeflowing
Maybe Iâll try asking from a different angle. Why âwhich wasanât what they did from my point of view.â rather than âwhich it didnât seem like they were doingâ or something like that?
ÂŻ\(ă)/ÂŻ
Idk what to say, i wrote what came to my head, its not like i studied and revised that post for hours before posting it. Cant really tell you why i didint pick any of those other options (especially considering they are more gramatically sound)
feel like caspore could be a dark horse here potentially, given they clearly have some experience in IRL mafia and thereâs a possibility of coaching here obviously due to the nature of the gameâŚ
i donât wolfread their posting, everything theyâve posted just feels easy enough.
maybe this is towny though idk?
welp.
I guess I couldnât really ask for a better answer lol
Itâs the kind of post that sets out my penguin alarm bells because itâs soâŚstacatto for lack of a better word? The style of saying âwhich wasanât what they didâ and then adding âfrom my point of viewâ rather than a more natural flow
But for some reason I like you calling your own post ungrammatical lmao
weh
penguin, youâre kinda doing the same thing now that iâve been accusing you of lol. do you seriously think prying into this wording choice is useful? itâs what i mean when i say that i donât buy that the lines of inquiry you decide to take are actually going to be conducive to solving the game. part of me wants to say the fact you keep doing it in spite of the backlash is twtbaw, but it doesnât really feel like actual solving.
you brought up that this is a playstyle thing so idk. it still feels kinda excessive
though i guess maybe this makes sense, to you??
iâm definitely giving some wolves the benefit of the doubt here lol. anyway bye for real
maybe it does, and i dont like calling people wolfy for their solving process (especially when its been done to me several times). Iâll go through some previous penguin games later to see if this deviates from his usual play but i dont think it will, i think this is just normal penguin
oh for f*ck sakes it his first game
Yes, I do. We can talk about it more once the point in the game arrives where I stop doing it as much if youâd like
Yeah I havenât played on FoL since the new FoL came about lol
FoL penguin tended to lie somewhere between my homesite and how I played on MU but also youâre getting that plus 2+ years of rust that leads me to doubt my vibereads so this is going to be a fun time lmao

The part i understand is looking into the wording. I think penguin is looking for signs of âunnatural progressionâ or âexcessive hedgeâ, basically anything that could indicate a post was fabricated.
Is that how i would approach FM? No. But that i can understand and i dont think its wolfy, its most likely NAI
The part i dont understand is asking people why they used a certain word over alternatives, because i dont think you can reasonably expect someone to be able to answer that.
Iâll go double check with MU later but due to how old itâll be it probably wont help much
Yes
I donât expect people to answer that exact question but I do expect that a response says something about what do you think you are communicating vs what am I reading
E.g. in your case I read âfrom my point of viewâ I read it as a synonym of âbecause I am a townieâ and if that was what you meant that post would be a snapvote that Iâd probably keep the entire day but to you the phrase doesnât seem to have that significance and so I donât think the hedge is vote-worthy
Fair warning that what youâll get from MU is a penguin who was always one of the lowest posters in thread and thus spent more time catching up than interacting lol
Which is what tended to happen with me on FoL as well except this game is going slowly so I actually have time to do that
