Questionable Balcony

[Tayl0r Swift]

well now im just being lurky. i need to sit down and catch up on the game, and i promise ill do so tomorrow.

[Tayl0r Swift]

fwiw town!me is sometimes lurky and disengaged, but scum!me never is.

[Tayl0r Swift]

that isnt really a trust tell, im not intentionally lurking here and i promise ill catch up. ive just been busy and this game has a lot of pages.

I'm not gonna lie some scenario similar to this one occurred to me after you talked about me always townreading ffery but I don't think this is the world we're living in and if it is I give you all the license in the world to shit on me at whatever theoretical point we realize this is the world we're living in

Not gonna lie when I saw you question her, my first thought was that you were questioning her to look like you were trying to read her to satisfy my paranoia.

and then the other part of me thought well crap if he's town I wasn't trying to eat at that read, so then I felt bad.

[Syryana]

I feel ultra shitty this game. No scumreads, bunch of town leans, nobody's figured out I'm fucking town yet. Except ffery. Like seriously the fuck am I even doing here

I hope this is just a mood

[fferyllt]

Question me?

I remember a moment of "Syry isn't townreading me omg" in the FGO game. It was a false alarm, but still! Nothing you've posted at me in this game has given me that kind of startle. Did I miss something?

I felt like this a lot during FGO. Buncha townreads shading off into POE land after we elimed Archer. The game firmed up eventually.

[Syryana]

This is the problem coming off the high of a good game

You feel like a piece of shit when you don't have a clear direction

Besides, even you said you'll feel dumb if Cabd is right about me so even you haven't figured it out yet I guess

[fferyllt]

No. I said I'd feel dumb if he's right about Bell.

And I would.

Very dumb.

[fferyllt]

I'd be townbinning you a lot harder if I didn't want you getting nk'd!

I think Cabd's kinda smudging his read of me for similar reasons.

I'm sorry

I don't want to be squinting at you, especially if you're town. I know it feels crappy when the people you think should be able to read you aren't fully there yet, and I'm sorry if that's happening here and I'm jumping at shadows that aren't there. I hope if I'm being dumb I realize it soon because I'm so super excited to be in here with you guys and I hope we get to be a masonry.

I don't townread others as easily as I used to. That's more a me problem than anything else. I'm sorry to be frustrating.

[Syryana]

Well, that makes me feel a bit better at least. Sorry to take my mood out on you guys. I'm just frustrated.

No. I said I'd feel dumb if he's right about Bell. And I would. Very dumb.

Well, in fairness, I wouldn't feel all that dumb if Bell looks town by play and Cabd just happens to MLK you and be right

If that kind of thing was a thing nobody would read anybody and we'd just elim at random

[fferyllt]

Pooky has stolen my heart with that line about the greatest team of shitposters ever assembled.

[Syryana]

I liked Pooky before that but yeah

[fferyllt]

I did too, but that put a big smile on my face. I've been wanting to slow down and talk to him but the game really rushes along.

[Tammy]

Syry - I hope when you said it made you feel a little bit better at least that you were referring to this.

Anyway I'm laying here trying to fall asleep and I'm feeling bad, so I just kinda want to expand on this a bit. Around 2015 I went through a rash of scum games. I drew scum game after scum game after scum game with very few town games in between. On every site I was playing on, which was five at the time. Even marathon games. I won most of them I think, and I burned every bit of meta that I knew existed that I was capable of burning and I felt crappy doing it. There are tells I'll never be able to burn probably, but the ones I could I did.

I don't exactly know why, but I noticed in the town games I drew in that streak and after, I was starting to have a hard time feeling confident in early town reads. I wasn't scum reading everyone; I just started feeling more cautious about town reading people. Sometimes I'll hit a moment where they feel so genuine, it washes that away and other times I have the town read that always has a shadow behind it.

I don't know if that scum streak is what put me on guard or what. Anyway it really is a me issue, and I don't mean to be annoying.

I'm also incredibly terrified of being wrong in here. I know how excited I was and am to be in this neighborhood and want you guys to be town, and if I let go of any jumpiness and go all in on you guys being town then I have to tell between Taylor and Jake, and what if I'm wrong and I should have been more objective about reading you guys.

Okay hopefully I can fall asleep now. I'm not trying to be difficult, I promise!

Good morning 3 cops and a Tayl0r swift

[Tayl0r Swift]

jake im fine with duking it out with you, but for at least today lets do it in this thread please. ive been pulling my punches on you (as in not even throwing them) in the main thread.

[Jake The Wolfie]

I was asked my thoughts, and I pushed two options for them. Two of many possible options that I have, but two nonetheless.

[Tayl0r Swift]

your responses in the thread really read to me like youre signalling something. "DIG HERE, SCUM!" i guess i appreciate you not being aggressive at least, but the way youre answering is like you want more attention called to the two of us and want a wagon on one of us. thats what we're trying to avoid.

[fferyllt]

jake im fine with duking it out with you, but for at least today lets do it in this thread please. ive been pulling my punches on you (as in not even throwing them) in the main thread.

This.

It's probably going to give me a bad case of hives defending a ~scumread~ today so please don't dig yourselves deep holes.

[Jake The Wolfie]

I think it would be a useful endeavor to have the rest of the thread try and scumhunt within us, for us.

[Tayl0r Swift]

but we agreed that we didnt want to out the dethy today.

[Jake The Wolfie]

And I'm not.

[fferyllt]

And I'm not.

I don't think this is a good idea, but I kinda like that you're bucking the trend here.
