?????

i meant for the purpose of this exchange. like in my head the setting is an interrogation room, and hopkirk is a detective, and you can be the other detective, if you'd like

Oh no, I just misunderstood.

like i wanted to see what sort of questions hopkirk would ask/was expecting to be asked because he put emphasis on the real time nature of this:

I'll be back in ~20 mins then can respond in real time to anything you wanted to discuss Skitter30.

i do feel nullish to me as well. no particularly strong reads, just some thoughts/feelings. dunnstral wants me to place a vote so i will get on this shortly.

so i made it clear that i have thoughts/feelings, and also that i've read the thread, to get hopkirk to like, ask me specific things instead of just like 'what are your reads', as i wanted to see what hopkirk thought would be important for me to have an opinion on

but in his absence, i'm also curious about what you are interested in

[team rocket queen]

basically it feels like 575 should come after 576 but it comes before

i think gloria purporting that she is isn't scummy and sort of being defensive about it is towny. Particularly the "are you even reading?" part. like it's really obvious to her. From what i gather, Hopkirk is arguing that she seems different from death scroll, and she responded that because Pooky is TRing her, that read is invalid

i'd be a bit surprised if that sort of tone comes from scum, although I dont really know Gloria (to my knowledge)

[Morning Tweet]

I like the couple of posts where ydrasse explained her scum self to me -- 363 especially. im a sucker for self meta and it felt like she was explaining something that made sense to her although i didnt quite understand

ehhhh i can see it i guess

Really? That feels like a good angle for scum to fake tbh

i can see scum managing expectations with regards to the "watch out for me playing like X later" stuff, but i guess the way she explained the posts i didn't understand felt like she really believes it

*flops tweeties ears*

[Morning Tweet]

i cry a little bit on the inside when you flop them now (ノ﹏ヽ)

it's comforting at the same time though

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Why though? That game was beautiful.

I will never doubt your townie heart again.

I agree.

[Infinity 324]

Honestly it feels like in hideyoshi when she was upset with shelly/bulge for considering her as scum when she saw herself (rightfully) as obvtown

[skitter30]

I take her at her word that these are real feelings she has.

fair enough!

i also don't have much experience with her, and her playstyle is not one i'm particularly good at reading

honestly, i can see y mt liked that post - the thought itself isn't inherently townie, but the way she said it had a townie lack of inhibition / lack of self-consciousness / stream of conscious babble to it

You said I was ‘pushing’ it and made a lot of posts about it. I said I got very light pings. It sounded a lot like you were trying to make it look like I had a much stronger read than the ‘essentially null’ that I had.

tbf, it was not at all clear to me that you were saying you basically had an 'essentially' null read on me, i thought you were saying that i was lightly town and that you were then shading me / pushing me via tying me to gloria, which was rather convoluted and confusing, and why i said i wanted to take a bit to talk to u about it before i come to any conclusion because the things you were saying didn't make much sense together

Was me redacting that comment because you then said you thought I was being jokey there which is the opposite of the narrative I was considering a scum-Skitter30 attempting to create.

well the me/taylor thing i thought was a meme
the me/gloria thing i didn't (and still don't tbh) completely understand

and i don't love that you're still kinda pushing gloria for it? kinda feels like u've decided there's scum in the pair and once you tried pushing me you decided u didn't want to do that so moved on to gloria

~

actually if Gloria is who she might be I might be more scared of her because she's pocketed me in a previous life :3

indeed
but i'm also leaning town here

[skitter30]

i would like to assume your role in this exchange and you can assume skitter's (you: detective hopkirk! me: responding in real time to anything you want to discuss)

ngl i think this is funny

[skitter30]

jessie u gonna place a vote?

[Infinity 324]

How is that different from what isis pointed out in 479? I think what isis is talking about there is at least related to the idea of stream-of-consciousness.

[skitter30]

i was objecting more to the 'logic becoming gut' stuff
upon seeing more of ydrasse's posting, i agree with the stream of consciousness bit

[Infinity 324]

Hmm. Do you have a hot-take read?

[skitter30]

i would like to pressure tgp more and i'm not sure i see what people are seeing gypyx

also i think hopkirk has gotten a bunch of townreads and i'm not really seeing it yet

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

fair enough!

i also don't have much experience with her, and her playstyle is not one i'm particularly good at reading

~

Remember that time we thought she was town and then she turned into a monster and annihilated us under a wall?

good times :3

[skitter30]

wait maybe i'm misremembering that game ... wasn't she town in that one?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

yes she was :3

[skitter30]

oh lol

weren't we convinced she was scum tho? i guess u got better at reading her in the intervening time?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

that game she was much closer to her scum meta than her town meta and it probably had to do with how mech-heavy the game was.

i was more joking about the person who replaced her :3

[skitter30]

ah! indeed

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

skitter do you want to do some big brain speculation on what the setup/story actually is?
