Smoke-Filled Antechamber [Endgame]

[Something_Smart]

I really don't like the hard lurk yesterday.

you... really don't like Nahdia being busy with RL?

Or what?

[fferyllt]

If, and only if, the dethy calibrated on me, please let me know as I need to talk about things I'd rather not.

We don't need to talk.

About that, anyway!

[Alisae]

I'm not liking the little bit I've seen today

what do you not like and why

My opinion on out-of-game stuff is whatever because people can lie or exaggerate. I will always treat all lurking as the same.

But it's not just the lurking, it's also that the content today is not good.

[fferyllt]

If there is a neighborhood that does not contain Cabd, please have a representative speak up and say so.

Thanks!

[Something_Smart]

DS, what's your read on The Bulge?

[Something_Smart]

My opinion on out-of-game stuff is whatever because people can lie or exaggerate.

Also, this feels pretty out-of-touch with reality. In my experience, very few people believe that it's ethical to lie about RL as scum to excuse alignment-indicative lurking.

[DiamondSentinel]

Oh, that's a person in the game. I also don't like that tiny ISO. I might pressure them later. But right now I'm pressuring Nahdia.

PEdit: Again, I'm not entirely saying that Nahdia's lying. What I am saying is that I suspect it's a bit exaggerated and they're being deliberately evasive/prodgy to duck under D1 suspicion which is.... hard to deal with for a lot of players.

[fferyllt]

DS, when did you decide/what caused you to decide that the dethy inhabitants were right about Tayl0r?

[Something_Smart]

Nahdia's rant was, uh, pretty specific. Seems unlikely for it to be exaggerated...

[Nahdia]

i mean real-life interference or not, i have participated and given content in this game. kinda tired of seeing people grouse about my activity level as if i've been doing nothing but prod dodging.

[Nahdia]

they're being deliberately evasive/prodgy

no, im not.

[Alisae]

But it's not just the lurking, it's also that the content today is not good.

why is the content not good

[Nahdia]

honestly DS this feels like you latching onto me as an acceptable target. i have content and reads for you to grapple with. if you want to read me, why not start there?

[DiamondSentinel]

Nahdia doesn't seem like the type of person to intentionally do traditionally scummy stuff to get townread as scum.

Certainly not.

I'm not sure if you really believed in Tammy being self conscious, but now I see my man Diamond also making similar accusations so idk

you think I... didn't believe it?

I latched onto the initial post I pointed out (the one which replied was just a joke) because that's 100% out of my own scum playbook. The kind of post I basically would never make as town but am pretty sure I have in fact made as scum. That doesn't mean it's the same for Tammy, but in my own self-reflection I find I make that kind of post because when I'm worried about how to make a town post, the obvious (too-obvious, therefore has to be presented as a joke) solution is to literally copy the post of a town player. So I started looking for more evidence of that kind of self-consciousness and found the things I pointed out from there.

These 2 quotes read horribly. Talking about ones town game (or how to make a "town" post) is in my experience essentially universally a scum trait. It's really the strongest tell I can see.

there's a reasonable chance at least one of the 2012 circlejerk is scum and im hoping they just sort themselves out so i dont have to

Half-heartedly calling shade on a group without hitting on it at all later. Really hate this.

feels a little big brain to me. i can see the logic as to why maybe town shouldn't, but i dont agree it means town

wouldn't

do it.

not to be rude i don't need you backing me up in this argument and i dunno why it needs your comment over anything else

not to be rude but i don't need your permission to respond to posts in this thread

This entire back and forth with peta looks awful for both, but 100000% worse on Nahdia than peta. I'm not unconvinced it's scum theater.

i'll call pooky town too even though that's one more townread than i need.

more words, man!

feels legit

his EoD looks bad to me.

VOTE: pookythemagicalbear

i thought the opposite but i'm willing to hear you out

he defends taylor, then wont elaborate, then just questions her without any followup, and never actually votes.

Potentially misrepping how traitors work, normally?

Traitors, as defined by the wiki, are mafia who know who the other mafia are, but are unknown to the mafia. My read on Pooky notwithstanding, I

really

don't like this misrep.

[petapan]

he defends taylor, then wont elaborate, then just questions her without any followup, and never actually votes.

oh my brain blocked that from my memory. but then it's only necessarily AI if he was sure she was the traitor? which, given signalling, maybe.

but see, the thing is the suggestion taylor was trolling was something that was very much on the forefront of my mind as well because i just came from a game where as town they fakeclaimed part of their role PM being something different from what all other town players had, then later changed it to something else. i voted out their slot, they flipped town. so i was pretty much dreading the possibility they were flat-out fucking gamethrowing here. never been more grateful to see a red flip on someone who i had already had as pretty much poe scum. so i don't even know that his suggestion there was scummy.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I've honestly never seen such epic gamethrowing before so I was sure she was trolling us. turns out she was trolling the scum-team lolol

[Nahdia]

my point was more that pooky was fence-sitting that entire event.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

like seriously wtf was that taylor EOD meltdown?

[Nahdia]

maybe, but i dont even agreed that it's only AI if scum!pooky is certain she's a traitor. it's waffly either way.

[fferyllt]

three man masonry

We shall be known as the Ya-Ya sisterhood of the traveling pants in memory of our dearly departed.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I don't think it was fence-sitting since she was pretty much already dead and it wouldn't matter where I voted

[Nahdia]

okay but did you have an actual stance on whether she was scum or not?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

i didnt think she was scum cuz it was like beyond the pale the way she played that

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

like are you saying that Scum-Pooky knew that Taylor was the Traitor and decided to fence-sit/defend her?

If Scum know who their traitor is why the hell is Taylor even crumbing?
