I am actually quite curious that why you are consistently askon players about what they think about others.
This is bad gameplay.
You know why?
Because it's superficially.
If you have doubts on someone why don't you directly ask that person some question to clear you doubt.
What are you trying to do lind?
Asking others isn't a bad gameplay imo. I ask others what they think about other players so that I may compare my reads with theirs and see any inconsistencies either with their reads or mine. It helps me weed out players easily. If someone has the same reads as me
1) I think I'm on the right track
2) The other player is definitely scummy and his case is worth pushing.
if my reads don't match with others:
1) I'm wrong and should probably reevaluate
2) Maybe there's some form of buddying or protecting others from suspicion by telling me to back off.
Of course those are perfect world scenarios and I don't expect them to work all the time. Maybe half, if I'm lucky. But I have to try.
Also, you're right, I can ask players directly. In fact, I've done that too. But, I've already said that I'm finding it hard to read certain players in this game, so I know I might be making wrong judgements here. Therefore, I'm also trying to get a better picture by asking other players. That's all.
If I'm annoying you, I'm sorry, but this is how I go about the game.
I understand that my jump on Noctis may seem oppotunistic but I have been feeling uneasy about Noctis for a while and Melon stated what I thought. In fact, most of my views were common with her just like you and Noctis right now.
Moreover, I had reasons outside the thread to trust melon. Especially now that she supposedly gave Fuji a boost, she is a town read for me.
I already said that my read on you isn't perfect. If there is something I don't know about and I'm completely wrong here, I'll definitely accept it. I'm simply pointing out what seems suspicious to me.
