Newbie 1859 (Game Over)

[ruru]

I'll play if ofrhz plays

[ofrhz]

@oxy no worries! It’s all part of the game. I’m glad you turned out to be town bc I would’ve lost my shit otherwise lol.

[ofrhz]

I'll play if ofrhz plays

...Ok I’m in and going to be playing “passive or scum ruru?” all game

[Oxy]

ruru better /in only one slot left!

also, yeah! sajj /in'd too!

[skitter30]

Also @oxy:

Sorry for being super tunneled on you. I knew intellectually I was probably wrong, but like, I couldn't convince myself of that till like yesterday-ish irl.

I think I frustrated you majorly at some points, so like, I wanna apologize.

[skitter30]

So like 7/9 of this game will be in that one lol

[Mathdino]

rip NSG, just went V/LA

maybe she'll replace in

[Oxy]

I appreciate that, and I also apologize for not finding a way to get out of our 1v1's and for calling you wrongheaded or whatever name I used when I was frustration casing you


no hard feelings <3

@pintu, oxy and skitter

thanks and don't worry about it. I had no clue how to deal with all of what happening and I didn't want to start a fight so there was a lot of seconding guessing and censoring of myself involved, which probabl gave out some scumy vibes.

also sorry about policying the game so hard but I had to stop you from throwing some of those scum reads that were coming my way and since explaning didn't work so I went with mean and obnoxious approach. i didn't really like it but I had no clue how to fight scumslips and newbie 1851 differently. so yeah I apologize.

[Scioness Sajj]

You had a lot of good points, Scioness. I agree that when you felt backed into a corner you overcompensated a bit. You didn't need to! Your English/debating skills are actually really good and I found myself following a lot of your posts until you accidentally ran into weaker points.

yeah, I didn't want to fight anybody because trauma from 1851 and I had no clue how people were perceiving me, didn't want to have to claim d1.

okay but how do I know which points are good and which are wishful thinking or just weak, does it actually matter?

[ruru]

Btw, SS, what was your previous avatar from?

[Scioness Sajj]

the one with birds? it was just a piece of art, I can like you the artist in a moment.

[Mathdino]

I think a good benchmark for being town is worrying more about being wrong/making bad pushes than worrying about how people perceive you. I don't think anyone really crossed the line this game in terms of being too harsh/personal/hard on anyone, but almost everyone was aggressively wrong at some point

That's hard to answer. You could ask the same thing for any subjects IRL.
- How do you know the points you're making in an essay are good or weak?
- How do you know if you're solving a math problem correctly?
- How do you know if a scientific theory has merit or is weak?
same goes for work situations, speeches, social situations, etc

You look back at what worked and what didn't, identify your strengths and your weaknesses, and adjust your play based on that. You look at examples from other people that WERE right/good (and why they were right/good) and pull some of their strategies in. And you keep an open mind so you're able to make those evaluations in the middle of games, rather than only making them after or between games.

Yeah it was really pretty

[Scioness Sajj]

@ruru - here

@dino - ah yeah, right. thanks for the feedback!

[Mathdino]

your avatar made me townread you in whemestar's game

also the deadlines are gonna be 10 days, which is pretty interesting

i personally think slightly shorter deadlines are pro-town

[Scioness Sajj]

which one? I had three i think

[skitter30]

I appreciate that, and I also apologize for not finding a way to get out of our 1v1's and for calling you wrongheaded or whatever name I used when I was frustration casing you


no hard feelings <3

All's good

[Mathdino]

i do not remember

it's weird how subtle things can change subconscious reads tho haha

[ruru]

Wow, I love her work

[Scioness Sajj]

what do you mean you don't remember? it is REALLY important!

was it the blond girl, a hand or that black and white abstract thing?

yeah, she is really great artist.

[Mathdino]

do you have pictures?

i've always wondered what impact my avatar would have on people

i would never change it but i suspect that the hat creates the touch of absurdity in order to not treat everything i say as a dinosaur trying to eat them

[Oxy]

I think the hat gives a touch of seriousness that mitigates the silliness of having a dino avatar.

what does my avatar say?

[Mathdino]

that you go to vassar college?

[Oxy]

eh, wrong but good google.
