I'm saying that I used Bulge's history of accuracy reading me as a defense method when the option of voting me was brought up given he called me 100% town. So I can see town doing it.

I think you have Vax rated too low, he screams low confidence newbtown.

What did you think of the earlier comments about ben being more effortful as scum compared to low effort town?

Regarding prism, they've had a few moments where they've said similar things that I've thought. I disagree with the wall placement of most of the co-hort from prism, but the individual stances were lining up well. I also view prism/bork as TvT, with Prism not only actively trying to disengage it but also trying to see Bork's PoV. Bork isn't reciprocating. I'm townreading bork for separate reasons.

Notsci re: cohort I thought you made a good point earlier about ffery w/ timing the paranoia

My limitation here is a solid 80% of ffery/Candy content is the weird dance that I get zero out of, I've never seen either as scum. Ffery I wanted more from but even when she gave more I was kinda eh. Cabd is doing fine even though one of bork/Peta made a good point about him waiting in the wings. I'm much more inclined to view playstyle switch as NAI-if he wants to go deep as scum it's pretty much essential.

She's early posting was fine but then he disappeared, place a bad vote on me and, to the best of my recollection, has yet to do anything or explain his vote besides that he didn't like my readslist since then.

First pass I liked the skitter non-explanation, second pass NAI

I saw that but just because he was effortful scum in one game doesn't mean he can't be effortless scum in this one, particularly, as dgb said, since we don't know what the partner dynamic was like in that game. I also disagree with Cabd's assessment of that one post (I can find it later if I can be bothered) in that I don't agree that the fatalism looks particularly town, along with the fact I don't think anyone with a join date of 2007 genuinely believes their content will be looked at or taken seriously later, especially in a state where they haven't really pushed that much for whatever their reads were (I don't remember and don't care).

I've got it stuck in my head about prism that they don't really believe half the stuff they say. Like when skitter pointed me to that whack ass trajectory they had on bork it really resonated with me and that plus the disengagement just reads to me as "I can't win this fight" more so than "I'm town and this isn't productive". Bork's not really trying to de-escalate but weirdly I'm assigning townpoints to him for it because a) I don't think scum him pushes that 1v1 and b) I also think bork's dogged persistence is town indicative for him because he sees something that doesn't make sense to him and will pursue it until he either gets a satisfactory answer or yeets the offender in question. I don't have a lot of town experience with bork recently but the behavior rings some old dusty ass bells in my head.

Re: Vax I think there are some things in his ISO that don't add up with this, there was even a post by him somewhere that he said this was one of his more confident games, and he's played in enough games he definitely doesn't qualify as newb-anything IMO. I also recently watched Death Scroll and pretty quickly townread him there, so he's lower in my estimations than yours. I'm not scumreading him per se but he's not playing the same game he was in Death Scroll.

No offense meant, but if they were your posts, no. I got pretty tired of the back and forth.

Also, bork IS the dogged one, because the fight had died down and he brought it back up later.

I mean maybe? I was townreading prism as I liked their entrance but with all this back and forth with bork my eyes have just glazed over and stopped reading it. What's the skinny?
Their progression on bork is kinda mystifying - look at how they go from to . Dont like their reaction to bork's wallpost at the top of that page. Dont like how they characterized my interaction with pizza in , and how they ignored me pointing that out
This is the one, NS

Literally bork tried to disengage, I kept pushing him because disengaging at the point he thinks he's found scum makes no fucking sense, and then he comes back with the wall. At this point I wonder if he'd lean into the 1v1 as scum like that over hoping I just take interest somewhere else eventually

What are you smoking and where can I get some?

Not recently, and I still disagree that it was a natural thought process to have midfight.

I've had that backtrack before. I'll keep what you've said in mind, though.

You and Prism aren't buddies. I don't think scum-Prism keeps trying to push their way into our interaction.

I'll take that as an invitation to shoo for now which is probably best anyway, at least until I get to a computer or actually reread Skitter/ffery etc
