You saw the big readslist, but did you read the big reads list.

What's the difference between a big reason and a tiny reason?

Wanting to flip Noraa isn't a scumtell. But there's very few people are making anything of that desire left, because there is no way Noraa doesn't get cursed today. Noraa is inevitably and inescapably doomed.

...But here you are, with Pooky, treating it as if it's vitally important to hit Noraa right now or you might not have enough people somehow or something I don't know it's ridiculous. It'd be different if you were on Bell's side, but you're getting what you want regardless here. If nothing changes Noraa still goes down. /Bell/ has reason to try and play the proselytizer, but /you/ don't, and /Pooky/ doesn't. So what gives? Why are exactly two people acting as if the foregone conclusion is in danger?

mush you play like mastina or something
it's not a danger

Bell TR'd Noraa
I want to know why Bell TR'd noraa
I say the reasons that noraa is scum
through this I infer bell's alignment
it's using scum!noraa case to sort others

I think it's a good reason to pretend to :3
Also, statistically they're more likely to be scum than random.

That isn't what I saw happening. I saw Bell mention he changed his mind on Noraa. Pooky immediately starts telling Bell the wonders of Curse-Noraa-Now-ology, and halfway through you jump in with both feet to contribute.

Pooky was not trying to sort Bell. Pooky was evangelizing. The timing and wording you use indicate the same -- you didn't /ask questions/, you /made statements/. Arguably your request for explanation could be taken at face value, but given the target has absolutely flatly refused to megapost, the broad scope of the request, and you had left NO room for your mind to change at all, I think anyone would be safe in dismissing that as exaggerated, sarcastic "yeah sure let's see you change my mind" sort of wording.

I'm not a complete idiot, Shelly.

It's probably one of the only valid reasons. Because empiricism simply works. Unlike a lot of other methods.

I like making statements you got a problem with that
sr for personality = bad


Bell makes reads. They don't megapost but when they're town they DO obvtown.

I cannot quote right now because I'm on mobile, but the time where LLD pressed hard noraa threw out a gigantic readslist and SR'd me/adorable for tiny reasons and they did it again with gloria
which is making something out of nothing
which is a scumtell because scum need to achieve miselims
I tell Bell what I see in Noraa and they follow up with questions finding out what I think, which is +town indicative of a solving mindset

I point out where exactly noraa is making weak arguments and the ramifications of that, and Bell and I have an conversation making me able to sort Bell, because what Bell is doing here is having an investigative, proactive mindset by prodding me to answer their questions, thus I am now less lockscum on Bell, the end.

I said for your mind to change, not in your mind to change. One is rhetorical, the other is psychological, and rhetorically your wording said "don't argue with me, there's no point, you can't convince me of anything here."

Also, I haven't called you scum yet. Tricky things, those words. I'll give you a cookie if you can find an example of me definitely calling you scum here, mostly I promise this because it doesn't exist, I checked.

I am concerned by your play, Shelly, because you say you're sorting but you act like you're evangelizing, and the two aren't compatible. I want you to explain how one and the other connect. I believe you can explain that for me quite easily, presuming there is a connection at all.


PEDIT: First one ends with flat denial. As stated: "rhetorically your wording said "don't argue with me, there's no point, you can't convince me of anything here.""

Second, okay fair I give you this, sure whatever.

Third is ugly. Slim reasoning for calling something a scumtell and it's more baldfaced assertion than anything useful for getting reads from.

Fourth, you actually ask a question and your posting style changes. You're talking around the subject and centering Bell, the person you're supposedly reading finally -- after I called you out. Hmm, timing's a funny thing, ain't it.

pooky is a strange one to read. i think the best, perhaps the only way to read pooky is by ignoring most of the words pooky says, and instead look at what pooky is trying to say, and gaze into pooky's soul. in this case my read isnt so much based on specific posts pooky made, but the way pooky has oriented himself in the thread.

1. pooky is canadian. canadians are scum
2. pooky is being more aggressive than town!pooky ever is
3. there are some interactions i would expect from town!pooky that im not seeing
4. pooky is not scumhunting, but is being manipulative, and has attached himself to the hip of the self proclaimed town leader (and fellow canadian, see point 1 above).

Can I get some more insight on point 3? What sort of stuff should I be looking out for?

For my part, one point against Pooky being town is that Pooky is always "rhetorically" on the attack. Pooky is never explaining themselves or being approached by another player, and they deflect or ignore all of my criticism in a way that feels forced. I'm not sure how much of that is Pooky play and how much of that is this player list and how much of that is scum play, you're probably the only window into this for me.

I am literally the first person to unvote noraa and say we should save her for last.

I have repeatedly pointed to the upside of this approach.

You shading me as a "kill noraa now person" is ridiculous because it is not reality.

noraa said she was going to throw the scroll at LLD because she thinks LLD is "anti-town" town so we decided to look for somebody new and give Noraa the scroll 3rd.
