Yeah I’m rereading the game right now and I just got to a post where Jake said he wasn’t feeling very sane rn

I’m starting to feel really tired. I might not finish my reread tonight :(

So I didn't do a fine tooth comb thing with those games you linked Syr but I did my usual textual body language thing.

Despite the VC his play here reads and feels more like his town game than his most recent scum game.

The first newbie game is just different from everything else and probably not much to get from it.

I can go into more detail here if you want it, but I was already feeling kinda town on him.

In the game thread, I want Cabd to go first. Just from a post he made asking Jake a question early today, I'm pretty sure he read the games and I think he also leans town.

Tammyllt where are yall at on Bell

I hate to say it but I'm thinking Cabd's dream might be fucking right

Bell's content sucks and I don't see any of that squinty eyed suspicion we got from Avenger all game, it feels sort of rote and phoned in and even his supposed scumread on petapan feels completely soulless to me

Yeah, I'm feeling pretty sad because I love playing with bell, but he's not looking real town here.

His questions to me that weren't just "o...kay?" all pointed at cabd and to a MUUUUUCH lesser extent you.

There are moments when bell looks okay. His style feels natural enough, but there's no substance.

I'm on page 48 of my reread. i'm not sure if I'll be able to finish it up tonight. I'm about to take some things that I hope will knock me out early so I can finally get a full night's sleep.

I haven't had a full night's sleep in so long. Even last night, I was freaking exhausted and feeling like I was near passing out around 10; I still laid there wide awake until after 1.

Yeah it feels like an attempt to play into your Cabd paranoia except he doesn't know you and Cabd already have each other as pretty solid town
He probably isn't bothering with me because he knows you already have me as locktown and he remembers FGO

Yeah I read about 3/4 of it but it was legit terrible and I feel like a copy of it should be posted on the wiki under "How not to post as scum"

I know it's a toss-up whether building a quotewall is easier or harder to process than a bunch of links. But, when you're asking questions about or replying to the posts it's a hell of a lot easier to follow along with quotes rather than links.

Tammy probably disagrees!

I absolutely agree with that!

I don't like quote stripes either, but I'd take them over what Bell did any day.

I read through mine before he put up the linked quote and I had to go to my own iso and try to read it side by side, and I still don't really understand what he was trying to say to some of it or why he bothered to reply to some things.

I think I was working on mine before he did a reformatted post. I quoted my part of the post and added post tags myself, and then used the post preview to navigate to them.

I'm not sure he's trying to play into my paranoia so much as he's trying to sort Cabd and is ticked off a little because he wasn't around to steer the reads list interaction between us. He thinks Cabd could tailor his list to either agree with or push against mine and therefore reinforce or cast doubt on my reads.

That's something I do if I'm trusting him for town and also feeling like his grasp of the game is better than mine in a particular moment or wrt a particular player. And that's my choice and my decision.

I guess that's what's bothering me a little. I feel like Bell is trying to be a puppeteer, and use me as a way to get a read on Cabd by shaping my play to draw Cabd out, if that makes sense. Maybe he's not actually trying to do that, and my sensors are malfunctioning.

I'm playing up my caginess about Cabd a little while at the same time trying to work with him and that could be causing some whiplash. I should probably drop the caginess. We're past that stage for now.

Or, Bell isn't trying to get a read on Cabd, but trying to drive a wedge between us and keep us from working together effectively.

Hmm

He does take odd (to me) angles sometimes, Syr. His unhappiness with how I approached sharing reads lists was so freakin transparent that I have a really hard time seeing that come from scum-Bell.

I think he has concerns that he might not be able to catch scum-Cabd? Maybe I'm misremembering that.
