If you think the pizza stuff is just joking around, then those posts are doing their job of being ungrokable except for their chosen destinations.

They're there for a reason that you're not privy to.

It seems to me that reads either have merit or they don't, regardless of if the person tries to push merit on them or not. Is this correct?

Yeah Cabd's a friend in real life, but that's not the issue. How is it any different than the reasoning you used to defend Diamond Sentinel earlier? When you know someone is getting attacked for their play style and not for something actually scummy don't you point it out?

What points of Diamond Sentinel's are not just play style or personality? And what part isn't weird narrative building?

I'd maybe debate this but just from an impartial eye I'd say you're right

btw something about the interactions between cabd, ffery, and bell is concerning. It feels like a cold war Mexican standoff. I don't think it's entirely scum theater though, based on the specific vibes I get

I'd argue "legitimate" reads are just reads that the person who has them genuinely believes

My main point of defense on DS earlier was that he was trying to make the game serious while people were still having fun nostalgia-ing and people were using that to attack him. Not his playstyle although that was a part.
I have not dug into DS's case but I think his point that Cabd is looking for approval and validation holds water. What would you call weird narrative building?

I didn't read your whole ISO buddy, just saw what you were doing on the page and responded to it. 3 townreads, 30 townreads, ain't much difference to me when its surface level buddying.

More or less. Merit is a more objective measure of a read, but its recognition is subjective. People often won't realize that a person's reads have merit because of the fog and friction of the game.

'Such questions cannot be answered,' said Gandalf. 'You may be sure that it was not for any merit that others do not possess. But you have been chosen, and you must therefore use such strength and heart and wits as you have.”
