@notsci

my view on prism is that they have a fairly unique/different approach to the game.

there's some things in particular they really care about:

- making sure they understand the arguments their opponent/person they're arguing with is making
- making sure that the person they're arguing with understand *their* pov
- and that in order to sort out/resolve/hash out conflicts in the gamestate, gladiates are useful/important no matter how unpleasant it might be for the game overall and prism themself (this undercurrent runs through *many* of their posts)

i don't think they're being pedantic when they're quibbiling with peta and bork, i think that this is something they really care abt, and it's super important to them in order for them to be able to process/sort the game and for the game to 'move on' so to speak.
viewed in that light, their scumread of peta, myself, and bork all make sense, as does their insistence on this gladiate.

like at some point a lightbulb went off for me, where their whole pov started making sense to me, and once i got it, i was able to understand what they were doing and it makes sense as a motivator for their actions. like earlier, i disliked their snap bork vote, but once i kinda put together their approach to the game, it makes sense and is in line with that whole pov, so in retrospect it's fine

See, I like that post. Maybe last scum is spooky or Elements.

[skitter30]

It was part of why I was scumreading you earlier. You eventually did some stuff here, in this game that I do like for town.

out of curiosity, where do u think i started doing things?

i may have mentioned once or twice that i'm being lazy
but like it's all there and i can elaborate on most things ^

[notscience]

In a game of inches like this we need to give it our all. But I get it.

[petapan]

i think you're just jealous we don't have a complicated meta dance like the cool kids in this game

Don't know if it's usual for you, but I feel like there's definitely a dance happening here, it just doesn't seem to resolve.

prescient

[Elements]

Care to elaborate as to why?

[notscience]

Because that’s how PoE works?

[Cabd]

Holy scummoning, batman. You get this rich meaty chunk of posts and THAT is your first commentary?

[Elements]

oh it was poe
I just saw my name and got excited

[notscience]

Where do you stand with everyone and why?

[Elements]

Where do you stand with everyone and why?

See my last read list, I've been reading the more recent stuff but not particularly thinking about it.

You're reading that wrong. I'm not saying that you didn't do things earlier in the game. You did, I just wasn't getting a lot of townpings from it. Initially my read weakened due to your reaction to being at the bottom of my reads list, especially when you finally explained why you'd been scumreading me. Since then, I've really liked your stance on Prism and on your concerns about Prism/Bork becoming a 1v1.

[notscience]

Your reads haven’t changed in the last 1000 posts?

[Elements]

I haven't thought about it

[notscience]

Why?

mid-data review of bork, and i do feel like this is basically the root of the whole fight to begin with, prism makes an assessment of elements's play as bold for scum, bork comes in disagreeing from a theoretical perspective in the infamous 239, prism takes it as a discredit and blows the hell up, but really it's just fundamentally different ideas about the game. for what it's worth my own theoretical view is much closer to bork's - i think a significant number of players will opt to simply "go with the flow" as scum, so to speak, and avoid picking fights with strong, active voices, who they will townread because of perceived optics. i instinctively townread the way bork reacts with a big ol' WTF to what he's being hit with even though that would probably be genuine as either alignment, but it can't be helped.

Why?

I just haven't
I've been doing and thinking about other stuff

I'm on the edge of my seat. Go on.

[Prism]

For some reason I'm still awake, I have a lot to say in the morning to both skitter and peta later about those perspectives which are mostly right

but peta's last sentence is outright scumclaiming

VOTE: petapan

[Prism]

i instinctively townread the way bork reacts with a big ol' WTF to what he's being hit with even though that would probably be genuine as either alignment,

but it can't be helped.

I am hardcalling bullshit that he feels this way, this is instinctive fake nuance garbage

[DrippingGoofball]

It's a townie response, I don't need to know anything else.

[notscience]

Cabd we might have a Noraa/Spiffeh decision to make here shortly with no Nacho to stand in our way

I'm going to need the long hand version of this to be convinced.

I'm listening.
