You're right pichupichu

bro come on it was ONE page ago. you need to wait at least like five or six pages before you can lie about things like that

You misunderstood me.

In #667 you say that "you're guessing" the message came from scum and that scum message sender is a funny role. Then in #684 while you claim it wasn't really signed, you quoted it saying "so says Pine long title blah blah blah," which seems like a consistent in everyone's messages. But the thing is, you demonstrate knowledge in that same post that Pine is scum and that means it most likely comes from scum. My problem here is that I feel you should had automatically known it was from scum due to the Pine namedrop but instead you enter with "guys I got this weird message maybe from scum?? that's funny."

Is it nitpicky? Yes.

Is it possible you're town and just didn't read the message closely at first or are wording things extremely awkwardly? Yes. But regardless of this nitpick, your posts have not read genuine to me in the slightest.

I don't think debating whether or not you genuinely scum slipped is going to get you or I or anyone anywhere however.

What are your reads currently? I'm not even asking for specific people, just who has made an impression on you so far? As many or as few as you can summon thoughts about.

The Menalque wagon really weirds me out. Menalque already sticks out like a sore thumb just out of virtue of being one of the only real newbies in this game as far as I can tell. That fact alone makes me think it would be less likely for him to be scum. But on top of that I've just been town reading his tone, and I'm honestly confused by the vehement reactions players are having to him.

@chenn I don't think you ever responded to me regarding that

Idk, he smells like lynch bait, and I'm not only surprised by people in this lobby gunning for that but also how extreme that gunning is, or at least was for a short while

[Dannflor]

I'm town reading FF based off the last few pages. PP is slightly less town but still town.

Ari, I have absolutely no idea what to make of you. What are your non-Mastina reads?

[Formerfish]

i think ari is town but this is based off of a marathon game, so take it with a grain of NaCl

Don't do that.

As I say, still need to read up a lot. But I'm leaning town,in varying degrees and no particular order, on PP, LLD, FB, Chenn, and Pops with lightish scum leans on xof, TW, FF, and UT. jjh is null and the rest I don't have enough yet to say.

Don't do that.

I mean, if it works it works!

[Formerfish]

Hey im a survivor now! Is that what I get for going over 10k in posts? Who do i have to double dutch rudder to get a fucking nickname up in this piece?

pedit- no one should ever use a marathon game as a reason to ever read anyone ever. not even in other marathon games.

bruh watchu playin

[Dannflor]

I'm getting the impression that Pine is playing in terms of a future day and I found enough people early on sketchy enough to find it hard to believe that they're almost all town

Something is fundamentally off with it and I haven't figured out what it is yet, but I suspect Pine already has an idea for who he's looking to endgame with and is setting them up for it.

oh I wanted to respond to this

I don't necessarily disagree with you

but I do find this assumption very dangerous—if only because this game is so fucking large and lurking scum aren't gonna get punished anywhere near as hard as they might in a smaller game

No I haven't because this game is so spammy

I didn't townread his tone and the wagon it generated was great information, so I let it be for a bit. The unvotes on menalque were also... really bad and half-assed

Why the scum read on FF?

[Alisae]

I'm just gambling in gmod becuase I would rather do that then play the actual game which is TTT

[Dannflor]

the entire wagon is just weird imo

I don't really know what to make of that yet

[Aristophanes]

Why the scum read on FF?

He's pushing and dancing and whatnot which looks really good, but something about it feels agenda'd. Like he wants certain reads and is therefore going in certain directions with his stuff.

[Dannflor]

I don't think having an agenda is necessarily scum-indicative

Do you think he's not genuinely trying to sort you?

What scum can't contain, must not remain.

[Dannflor]

jjh is null

also why did you specifically name jjh as null instead of lumping him in with all the rest?

[Formerfish]

This is just a less nuanced way of saying that im playing the game. I read the thread, and have things that I want to talk to people about to see if things i saw where real or if they were windmills.

So, yeah, of course I am going to engage with certain people and not others right now because I dont have a need to really engage the people im tring because im tring them.

So I talk to the nulls and my srs to figure out whats what.

How do you play the game?

[Formerfish]

The more i look at this the more it seems fake to me. What reads am i looking for? Ive interacted with like 4 people so far and have talked about like 2 reads.

Your statement is hollow because you point out a buzz word and then let everyone else read my posts with that in mind. If you think i have an agenda tell us what it is, point it out in my posts and stop pussy footing around an accusation.

[Aristophanes]

jjh is null

also why did you specifically name jjh as null instead of lumping him in with all the rest?

Because I've read/interacted adjacent to jjh enough that I should have a read forming. I do not however.

Do you think he's not genuinely trying to sort you?

I'm somewhat unconvinced.

How do you play the game?

As I have been playing it. Interactions, real time stuff. It's good as a basis for things, but it is all manipulable. I will go back and read and glean things from past posts. I then put it together and make more jokes. My srs days are seemingly behind me.

Also, I definitely prefer lategame when I can go back and read over a game's worth of stuff. I like data mining once the pool is limited. When there are so many I really don't do much.

ive been behind since page 2

get on my level

Meh, maybe I'm not good at reading you. It's just the feel I got.

Feelings are fine, but i want to know where it came from. What posts of mine did you read and say to yourself, "Ari, are you seeing the same agenda I am?"

I would like to know what agenda i am pushing.

[Dannflor]

Because I've read/interacted adjacent to jjh enough that I should have a read forming. I do not however.

Why do you think this is?

is it something about his play or you just haven't thought about it
