Hello block buddy! Tell me who the scum are. So that I can vote outside of my block.

I’m confused why you think I’m going through the motions but you don’t understand the point of my questions.

If I was going through the motions wouldn’t my questions be pretty clear in terms of focus and purpose?

I'm saying you're going through the motions of forcing yourself to be present and like talk to people because you don't want to be pegged as mafia for not doing anything but I don't really understand what you're thinking or doing.

I’d be awol if I were scum unfortunately.
I got punched in the face yesterday by a 6 year old and I’m processing that. It’s the kind of thing I’d use as an excuse to avoid posting but also, I can’t really force myself to post. I have a hard time as scum.

It’s my general policy to talk to everybody and engage. I like solving even though I’m extremely shit at it. But it’s been busy, so not as much solving and I’d like.

[Shadi1337]

explain your datisi read independent of the wagon?

need to iso them after this post then to properly get a read. I admit I've been lazy this game so far. why are you making me work?
are you a sadist? do you hate me? what have i done to deserve actually trying this game

however if you're going to play in a 'correspondence mafia' style that is fine and all but it'd be helpful for those trying to sort you if it also contained your general view of ongoing happenings and such

like honestly if you're only going to be around once a day i'd rather you just opened the thread read everything and rambled about your thoughts like whatever occurred to you in that time than simply replying to some of the things posted in your direction just seems like

It's more or less what I'm doing? I am opening the thread and stating my thoughts I have upon reading, mostly once a day sometimes in the morning but it's not like I have time to reply during work. I reply after work, a few hours after my post here I fall asleep.

like you're having a conversation across a very long period of time instead of writing a letter, yeah

and scums often rely on that sort of thing because can easily occupy your time / pass the days / hard to read and such

but like, i don't know i obviously shouldn't give commentary on anyone else's playstyle because mine is questionable at best, so

(and hey maybe i am now coaching a partner in the thread as well)

i mean fair if you wanna scum read me for that be my guest xD I am not going to change my entire playstyle just to get a town read from you. I know it's not directly what you're asking tho, but it's more or less the only way you're gonna feel good about my way of playing this game it seems and it's simply not happening.

if you assume the bulge is town, what do you think he might have been seeing there?

like what associatives might he have been picking up on between you and datisi?

and why might he have thought those might be scum indicative?

I thought he was mostly joking at the time, was he seriously trying to show he wanted to vote us both at the time?

But he likes getting down on himself.

hehehe

i agree with both of these posts, but at the point where shadi is picking and choosing what to respond to i think we could stand to turn the heat up.

i think it's more things I miss or don't understand lol
It's not like I don't respond once I'm poked about something for the second time. I realise it can be annoying to poke me again tho so fair enough xD
as for heat i am good with that.

[Datisi]

probably biased myself but the "why are you making me do work" lines read really awkward to me

hehehe

don't.

[Shadi1337]

iso on dats
only gonna quote a few of the posts that stand out more than the rest to me

yes i know that you know it but the tell worked last time so i'm not sure why i should not think it's working again this time

like even right now it feels like you're trying to iron out this misunderstandign or whatever but i don't see you actually making any kind of alignment calls on anyone, which is odd because you approached bell about it and spending time just to argue "that whole thing is nai actually" without getting anything from it or trying to get anything from it feels like scum-aigned busywork ig

this feels a bit like trying to get a read on something based on nothing, which is what dats himself is claiming is based on very little.
Which to me felt a bit like projecting the busywork thing

dude i don't mind discussing the hyperposting part with katya, my problem was that i was hoping superbowl would comment on it first, and i thought she was feeding him answers. what i forgot about was that superbowl commented on the whole thing, because 213 didn't (and still doesn't) make sense to me so my brain just deleted it from memory.

actually typing that out, your point is that my 193 doesn't make it clear that i want to hear superbowl's response to it first? i mean that is kinda fair. the "assuming superbowl knows that" should've been better phrased to say i explicitly want his thoughts on it

if you're not going to ask "but datisi if you didn't think superbowl had answered your sort-of-question by the time you posted 220, why didn't you ask him about it then" because i fucking forgot about asking it in the first place

the annoyance here seems genuine enough tbh, i remember it rubbed me off slightly more first time reading it.


overall i suck at reads, especially D1 (not like my D2 is a lot better, but at least there are wagonimics there on top of what's been said)
but I'd say he's a slight TL here
other than the first post I pointed out most are sliiiight towny or nai to me.

unrelated to the iso but

Your read on bulge feels like bullshit.

why?

[Doctor Drew]

I did want to break up this back and forth a bit though, tvt ,svs, tvs.....either way, the longer a back and forth goes the more it becomes anti town.

actually yeah it was literally you who said that the loner the back and forth goes on the more anti town it is

I was gonna come here to say I was the one who mentioned it lol. But that was more for everyone else's sanity, and isn't AI.

My issue was how did you come to your reads, specifically on the bulge and me.

But I am afraid my vote on you is turning into a vanity vote, and I am turning into a bit of a tunnelly asshole, so for now I will leave it be and let God sort it out.

[Bell]

It’s unusual for someone to say during a game of mafia that their emotions were correctly interpreted and that because a player was being stubborn in following up on those questions it’s alignment indicative. There’s also little in the way of wishy washiness, compare ari’s read of me to their read of bulge and it pretension wafts from it.

That said,

@shadi What do you think of sheep and Dunn?

i... don't know that's why i am trying to ask you how you are evaluating that?

like you seemed dismissive of the bulge doing so and then ignored my question and you've now still not actually answered it

like why do you not think that's what the bulge was trying to communicate then?

how did you weigh against the likelihood of that being the case?

I feel like there vote on Ari is kinda shit.

But the bulk of the rest is kind of trolling.....

Unless you hate Digiorno as well.

[Save The Dragons]

I can't describe it but it feels a little stilted like "I'm just gonna troll because I'm scum and I don't know what else to say"

[Doctor Drew]

I can't describe it but it feels a little stilted like "I'm just gonna troll because I'm scum and I don't know what else to say"

I could kinda understand this.

[Dunnstral]

I like the shadi wagon more than the Datisi wagon. Yackety sax feels towny.

are you talking about wagon comp or your own reads here?

My own reads

[Dunnstral]

I’d be awol if I were scum unfortunately.
I got punched in the face yesterday by a 6 year old and I’m processing that. It’s the kind of thing I’d use as an excuse to avoid posting but also, I can’t really force myself to post. I have a hard time as scum.

Alright I guess you have to be town then.

[Malakittens]

No

[Bell]

No, no I’m totally scum this game. I just know my own bad habits and how I’ve responded to events in the past. Doesn’t mean I can’t overcome them.

[Bell]

I can't describe it but it feels a little stilted like "I'm just gonna troll because I'm scum and I don't know what else to say"

I don’t think I’ve ever seen an example of this.

[Save The Dragons]

i have

[Bell]

How do you tell the difference between the trolls that always troll and the scum trolls.

[Save The Dragons]

i dunno just a feeling
