pedit- Auro dropped lower to a scum lean because of interactions earlier. I was looking at others but had no reason to change my vote at that time. Nothing came up with the people I was scum reading and then this happened and pushed him further back down my list. Should I be more rigid with my read?

No. I'm challenging you to qualify your statement. You're so concerned that I'm refusing to listen, no? So I'm asking who ever explained how it's scummy in the first place.

Go ahead.

In post 524, Formerfish wrote:For a chainsaw defense you dont have to lynch Dunn, you just have to attack him for attacking Gob
Firstly, and most importantly, chainsaw defences don't qualify as a useful scumtell *until* there's a red flip.

Secondly, I wasn't critical of Dunn - I simply argued with him about the read. I awarded him a few "minus points" which shouldn't be misconstrued for a scumread.

Thirdly, the state of my reads changed pretty fast as a result of that argument. This is atypical for a chainsaw defense.

The current exchange literally made me facepalm.

This is the same sort of premise that I think Dunn responded to me with earlier without addressing
on what merits he is instead reading Auro on that are more worth looking at
. It's useful to know that being Auro being hyper-focused on self-defense is purportedly in his town range and that does inform my thinking, but like it's...also just a data point that I have to figure out how to best integrate with many more. I'm not interested in getting sucked into this circular argument, but that's my take on it, anyway.

If you're not able to dig to get the context back then whatever, come back to it later. I just want to make it clear that "I'm not concerned about BBmolla right now" is not answering my question.
I have some meta experience with Joan. I trust Dunn's reasoning given he has a lot more meta experience with her (to my knowledge). I recall that Gob was being pushed at that time, even if he wasn't the biggest wagon.

Yes, it's somewhat a logical leap. And because it was a leap, it only took her to "very slightly town". What about it?
Because I'm trying to figure out if it was a real read or if you were buddying Dunn or what.

The context that it felt like there was a lot of pressure on gobble prob explains why you were treating it as a wagon without fact checking though.

Oh, so now town has a false perspective because I lulled them and robbed them of their agency... versus Espeonage simply being incorrect.
Wait...what? That's not what FF is saying at all and you twisting it this way seems intentional in order to shade him. I don't know why town would do that; do you scumread him?

It's hard to buy your defense as a pro-town tactic when you depart from an argument of good faith.

Kitty, this conversation, to my eyes, is an attack on FF more than a defense of myself.

FF literally said I said that town feeling a certain way about me makes me town. I said that's wrong. Intent behind my original post was that at least one reasonable town voice thinks I'm not being anti-town and that must beg some re-evaluation. FF's response was that town can have their agency captured without knowing it.

What do you think he was saying?

Can you clarify who you're referring to with "at least one reasonable town perspective"?

Yes that's a rehash but you effectively dodged his point that some people town reading you doesn't mean they're right. Expecting people to reassess you based on some people town reading you seems laughable? How often do you think 'oh wait people are town reading this person I must be wrong' - if you're anything like most players, you think you're right regardless of what other people think.

Your response in looked designed to make FF seem stupid/scummy for suggesting you were committing the appeal to popularity logical fallacy; Which you were, so I feel like you're doubling down and discrediting where you should be giving some credit to the fact that your initial argument was illogical.

Do you scumread FF?

@KittyMo: Dann, Dunn, myself.

@Cheeky: I didn't ask to reassess the read, Cheeky. I wasn't asking for people to townread me because XYZ are townreading me. I was specifically talking about Esp's continuous insistence that my style was anti-town; that if some reasonable townsfolk think it's not anti-town (or better: actually pro-town) then Esp should reassess whether that line of attack holds any merit, regardless of the overall read on me.

Besides, I'm willing to admit I'm wrong - then just explain how my style was/is anti-town? I've challenged esp/FF on this multiple times just to hear over and over that it's scummy without any rationale, or rebuttal to my explanation of why I believe it's towny.

I don't even think anti-town==scummy.

I guess to tl;dr my beef. It was that you were being sarcastic in your response which looked like a misrep. This is against you purporting that your defense is actually pro-town and that you use your defense to sort people.
