Mini 2331 - Touhou UPick: Anonymous Edition (Game Over)

[Aya Shameimaru]

Can you write me an expose on what makes Ichirin so town? Maybe I just struggle to see it as I haven’t read all about it.

This reporter has said all she needs say on the topic, and is quite frankly sort of over this game. Three different slots have now taken bad faith arguments with her and she's lost quite literally all motivation to try. This is an anonymous game which means users cannot rely on their repuation to be able to save themselves, which means a user

coming out and being aggressively mediocre in a game like this will frequently lead to their elimination.

This is not the tactic scum normally takes, nor does this reporter think Ichirin is giving anything but the straight truth in how she is behaving. That's all you're getting from me.

So umm, not saying i read your alignement based on that but are you implying you're being intentionally mediocre?

No? I'm saying that if Ichirin was scum she came out and chose violence.

Where has the reading comprehension in Gensyoko gone I swear.

[Aya Shameimaru]

Like what part of "I'm depressed and playing doesn't feel fun" makes you think I'm being "intentionally mediocre". The word INTENTIONALLY wasn't even USED. Like, the FUCK.

[Sanae Kochiya]

Ok
I think that there's some level of miscomminication here and I'm going to back off for now

[Aya Shameimaru]

Fucking Illiterate.

[Kagerou Imaizumi]

my take was more that people, regardless of alignement would prefer being townread right? I mean, this is not always true but that's the default

in a sense i feel like aya being accepting of her lackluster plays so far and expecting to be TR'd for it comes more from a town PoV

[Clownpiece]

actually hmmm

one thing i find weird is how Marisa didn't include Tenshi in her vote pool

VOTE: Tenshi

I actually questioned them about Reisen being left off, and they volunteered an answer for both Resin and Tenshi being left off. 188

Their explanation actually made more sense for Tenshi then for Reisen imo, unless I am missing more Reisen town reads at that point then I am remembering.

[Kagerou Imaizumi]

yeah i've misread a bit too it seems, sorry about that Aya

[Tenshi Hinanawi]

I have zero interest in an Aya wagon.

i forgot this was about Ichirin too tbh

and well, it's still somewhat strange Marisa thought she wouldn't have the votes on Tenshi but included other slots in the same situation like it's no biggie

if you're gonna have 7 people in your vote pool you're gonna have 7 people, her not wanting it to be too big is kinda artificially compensating, which granted could come from both alignements

[Clownpiece]

Oh, it appears I linked the wrong post, that should have been 205

[Kagerou Imaizumi]

yeah i figured dw

[Yuuka Kazami]

Hmm. Emotionally charged interactions like that, I tend not to make the right interpretations of.

I guess right now, I lean Sanae town. But that might be a mistake.

I actually think that in context leaving Tenshi off made sense, because in the pages leading up to Marisa making her elim pool, multiple people were voting Tenshi and questioning her about her interaction with me, and then at the end of those questions multiple people unvoted and said that they all liked her reactions.

So, her "I didn't think that people would agree on" Tenshi made a lot of sense to me. I think that you were the only people that I remember voicing a town read on Reisen at that point, so that is the one that I did not understand.

[Sanae Kochiya]

For me at least I'm trying to decide if I'm supposed to be townreading Aya for it. My gut right now is yes, but I have a tendancy towards townreading AtE so I think I'm just going to drop it for a day and reread tomorrow with a cooler head before deciding

Regardless I don't think that level of vitriol was a reasonable response to anything I said, but I do apologize for making Aya upset, which was not my intent

[Yuuka Kazami]

No, you should not be town reading Aya for that.

[Sanae Kochiya]

Right, I just said that.

[Yuuka Kazami]

The rest of what you wrote is going to trigger a response, but I get it.
You're off balance.

[Sanae Kochiya]

I am a little, yeah

These slots are not both town, with the way this interaction just went. They're also probably not scum together, though I've seen weirder cases of theater.

Also, I'm choosing to ignore the comment about vitriol because it feels like intentional bait.

[Clownpiece]

I am gonna largely pretend that that last Sanae and Aya exchange does not exist, because engaging with it feels icky, but

I'm saying that if Ichirin was scum she came out and chose violence.

I have seen this voiced a couple times (it may have been Aya both times, but I *think* it was actually someone else the first time, but I have not looked back).

But like... my interpretation of Ichirin's response was the exact opposite. Her response did feel like it was designed to appease her voters, but it just back fired.

She immediately went and found a New and Novel thing to be suspicious of, and double and tripled down on it (to a silly degree imo), when the main accusation was that there was no sign of solving from her, and it felt like she was avoiding questioning her voters - like her goal was just to change our minds.

It was not until Yuuka kept being so aggressive that she started to snap back at one of her voters.

And even while doing so, repeatedly called Yuuka town

[Aya Shameimaru]

Don't ask me to decide which one is scum, by the way. I'll pick the one that's currently frustrating me, as opposed to having a real read on them. I just know that interaction does not go that way between two townies and I sorta doubt it goes that way between two scum trying to have a chat about how to play something out in the main thread instead of the PT.

Fucking Icky, jesus. So what, I'm meant to have someone walk all over me, refuse to engage with me, slander what I'm doing and then go "I tried to engage" and I'm not allowed to be frustrated? I'm meant to be okay with someone suggesting I'm being intentionally mediocre when I said nothing of the sort? I've not been personal, I don't even know who to be personal to. I'm allowed to be frustrated with someone's behaviour. Let me fucking have that without demonizing it like it's wrong to feel negative emotions.

[Aya Shameimaru]

Everything I have said has been game related, about players behaviour in the game, and about whether they approach me in good faith relating to the game. Framing that as if I've done something heinous or wrong is fucked.

[Sanae Kochiya]

Ok I'm just choosing to not engage with this
