I appreciate you Skitter :3

[skitter30]

but having fun playing with cool people

pedit ty pooky

[fferyllt]

I played one game with Skitter before my last hiatus. I was really impressed with her play in that micro. I started rereading it when she /inned to this game.

This is nothing like that game.

{--------}
{Prism, Cabd}
{Mod}
{Syr, Vax, Peta, DGB}
{Pooky}
{skitter}

ffery are you basically saying that me not looking like the micro points to scum!me? or is that a separate thought and not why i'm at the bottom of ur readslist

The game did set some expectations, but no I wouldn't expect you to play exactly the same way in this game for a buncha reasons. I did think you'd play incisively and chase down and question stuff. I also wondered if you'd remember me from that game. I don't think I'm playing like that game either, which is probably a good thing.

[skitter30]

ok so why am i at the bottom of ur readslist?

and yes i agree i'm not necessarily playing incisively and chasing down things and questioning stuff, but you don't seem to be implying that i'm inherently scummy for it, so i'm not super following

i do remember that game (it was one of my favorite games!) but i'm not particularly comparing your play here to that of that one

You've voted me twice iirc and did NOTHING to actually sort me. I post a reads list with you at the bottom and now you're engaging.

If my reads list accomplished nothing else, at least there's that!

I know I've been semi-present here and there's a good chance I'll wind up doing another complete fade tonight. That probably doesn't make me as easy to engage as I should be.

tangentially, it's interesting to go from months of insomnia to suddenly not being able to keep my eyes open 2 or 3 times a day.

What are your thoughts on the rest of my reads?

[Cabd]

You gave me your insomnia. I knew I should have worn a mask in the Morph control booth.

[fferyllt]

I hope it doesn't stick around.

[borkjerfkin]

I feel so unsorted here. I know you and prism are yelling at each other and maybe that just gets in the way of seeing how your other reads are forming. It's fucking insane that I need more data from you, but such it is.

ok, stream of consciousness:

I like vax. Haven't liked any pushes on vax.
I scumread syr early but I think syr's been very town since the shitposting phase stopped.

I'm acutely aware that skitter has been on my side during this prism thing, but it seems like the sort of push that is almost necessarily not an SVS interaction with prism; it feels like it's plenty easy for scum prism to just go after me and ignore the cheerleading that skitter is doing for me.
peta just seems off and weird and interactions with prism are especially weird.

I have very little opinion on DGB. I think her style doesn't lend itself to a strong D1 read; to a certain extent this applies to pooky too but I think pooky just feels more town to me through various tonal aspects in the teen page regions
I'd put ben below both of them probably
mod pizza i need to reread - been mostly glossing over everything they post because it's been extremely focused on a narrow part of the playerlist.
Elements seems reasonable and pretty transparent but is not really something I can take to the bank with that ISO

I don't like that cabd has been cutting in at low impact times and staying away at high impact times. To even get him to comment on prism was like pulling teeth and that was at F-2. Cabd has also been really guarded about me and then throws me in top tier town suddenly which just I guess doesn't match the sort of attitude toward me I'd be expecting around that.
FFery, I notice also that you have prism pretty high up without really a reference to anything besides 129 and I'm wondering if you can elaborate on that considering

[skitter30]

You've voted me twice iirc and did NOTHING to actually sort me. I post a reads list with you at the bottom and now you're engaging.

yep p much. i'm p sure i just said it's likely i'd be more engaged if people are pushing me.

so again are you actually scumreading me y/n cuz i feel like you kinda sidestepped giving a straight answer to this like twice in the past 12 posts now.
(and i'm starting to feel like you're trying to avoid giving a straight answer ...)

the reason why i haven't necessarily been trying to actively sort u is that i kinda have ~vague nebulous pings~ that you're scummy, but if you actually tried to ask me why, i have no idea how to articulate it beyond ~vague nebulous pings~ and i don't have anything in particular to pin it on or that i can point to
and i was kinda hoping that voting would spark some sort of reaction but apparently i just learned that i'm not gonna be getting that from u
and i townread a bunch of people, and nullread a bunch of people, but don't necessarily scumread anyone super strongly so at least the second time (i.e. the one from earlier tonight) was more of a resting place for my vote while i figure out i want to do next because i know i don't townread you, which is a lot mroe than i can say about other people

your cabd read is p inscrutable to me, but i'm kinda assumign it's gonna be so i'm not super interested in it
why are you townreading prism?
and why is pooky all the way towards the bottom

[fferyllt]

No even a tiny bit on board with eliming Cabd.

i'm putting the entire cohort in the poe and you can't stop me

I'm pretty good at standing in doorways. Sometimes not the doorways I should be blocking. :/

I feel confident about this one.

you're gonna be standing in the door to the trash compactor

Aggressive language!

BTW this is a real thing and I'm not sure how to weigh it. It's a vivid repartee.

good take +1

[petapan]

I don't like that cabd has been cutting in at low impact times and staying away at high impact times. To even get him to comment on prism was like pulling teeth and that was at F-2.

good take

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

R u going to go after cabd peta?

[borkjerfkin]

your cabd read is p inscrutable to me, but i'm kinda assumign it's gonna be so i'm not super interested in it

I on the other hand

[skitter30]

i mean i'm also assuming you might have some more context to decipher whatever she's going to say to try to explain it

[fferyllt]

why are you townreading prism?
and why is pooky all the way towards the bottom

I am scumreading you, and it comes down to how you've interacted with me, your strongest scumread (I assume, anyway).

Sometimes votes and scumreads give me an opportunity I don't often get in games where I'm a very well known quantity.

Unless I have a lot of history with someone, and sometimes even then, the main value to me in being voted is in seeing what happens after that. Who follows along either with a vote or with words. Who avoids it. Who pokes at it. It can be the most useful wagon for analysis that I see that whole gameday.

The data here has been meh.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Do u think me/skitter is S/S?

[Cabd]

I am drinking wine and now phone posting. This will go extremely well.

[fferyllt]

Do u think me/skitter is S/S?

I don't teamhunt on day 1. Not even thinking in those terms.

[petapan]

R u going to go after cabd peta?

i don't really expect most people here to make themselves obvious as scum but if they haven't made themselves i'll go after them especially if they're playing like they think they have a free pass

[Cabd]

The thing is I'm not actually sure why Ffery has gotten me to where I am in her reads list but I also expect that getting her to elaborate even a single morsel more would be like pulling teeth. And we all know how that shit fucking goes.

[Cabd]

But I do have a free pass.

well, i don't know if i would necessarily say 'strongest scumread' so much as 'person who's niggling me the most'

(and tbf this dialogue is probably doing a lot more to help me sort u then anything else that you've done this game)

can you articulate what about 'how [i've] interacted with [you]' is scummy / prompting you to scumread me?

pedit and sorry did you answer what you liked abt prism and what u didn't like about pooky?

[petapan]

But I do have a free pass.

i know but it won't stop me from being annoying

It's been a fuckton of things with Prism. I feel like I know how they are processing this game better than anyone else, that or there's a ton of stuff going on under the surface that I'm not seeing even a flicker of. and in all of that, there's been so many instances of thinking what I'm thinking. I'm reading this thread peicemeal and skipping around for context because I lost the plot initially somewhere around page 15, I think.

If you want a more detailed answer you'll have to wait until tomorrow.

I loved the way Elements jumped into the game initially. Her first few posts were gloriously excited and sans evidence she loves playing scum to that degree, I'm always going to read that kind of careless energy as town.

I know Cabd's sticking point in all that, but I don't agree. It doesn't negate the overall vibe there at all.

I'm not getting that same level of energy from her later posts, but I'm really not seeing stuff that troubles me either.

I feel like Syr and I have unfinished business.

There's a lot of emotion in Mod's posts and I feel like it's hit the thread in quick succession when he gets worked up. I feel like there'd be a little more reserve if he were scum. Maybe a lot more reserve. I don't have a great grasp of his stances, though. Handfuls of paranoia though.

I'm not sure what you mean about low inpact vs high impact times.
