In post 243, unwnd wrote:IV

You still have nervous energy

The best way I would further describe what seems to be wrong with you is that you believe solving to be a catch-all towntell, but it's like

Page 10? What necessity is there to solve on page 10. Changing your mind or seeming like 'oh man, I'm just so worried about everything!' does not make you town

If you are town, stop forcing yourself to do things thanks
bro what are you even talking about lol
This feels like a very awkward response to what I read as a very genuine towny reach out. Personally, that's not how I would react to something like unwnd's post and innocent villager's response here seems devoid of actually trying to understand unwnd or really dig deeper into the reasons people are sorting IV as scummy

I suppose there is something to be said for not taking the easy olive branch, but on the whole it feels more dismissive than anything else, which doesn't really feel like a town approach to the game in general but certainly not this sort of attempted engagement
why are you analyzing this reaction in isolation without at all commenting on the followup conversation we had? what did you think of that?

i genuinely think what unwnd said in that particular post was confusing and i was saying, albeit in a bit of a snippy way, that his accusation was not making sense

I don't get good feelings from any of the posts because they are massively bloated.

I prefer terse, meaning-dense posts like #329.
I’m surprised you townread me then! Lol

There's no way ABR genuinely thinks Dann was scum and I'm not sure why you believed it
agreed, i don't get it so i was 99% confident it was saying the IV wagon was bad. i'm giving him two options even if i know which one he's picking anyway to start a conversation because i much prefer that phrasing to 'so do you TR IV' which doesn't really go anywhere except him explaining a read he was presumably going to do eventually anyway. it's a pretty fun way pf phrasing questions, you should try it some time.

from my experience ABR is pretty readable especially deeper into the game. Unwnd was in those games too so I’d imagine he feels similarly. im willing to just let that one stew

So far on this account I have not been wrong on my read with ABR, both when he was town or scum

IV above post from you is pretty sensible, what do you think about your impending wagon?

i was planning to leave ABR for a while as i scumread them early last game we played then began liking them more as the game went on and we started to mind meld at times (although i did start doubting that later in the game due to a big townblock)

I'm not really attempting to talk you down

Did you get the same sense of avoiding the actual game while in thread from anyone else while you were reading through?
Not to the same extent, no.

hmm maybe part of it was me thinking the "not necessarily both together" was a bit awkward LOL
i get having to go back and figure out what you were thinking at a given moment but it was like 2 posts ago? why are we "hmm maybe if we interpret the entrails this way" ing about an opinion that you literally just posted

In post 188, Hopkirk wrote:can you expand on what you mean about the opening? my issue shouldn't be history dependent unless you have an in joke you're talking about
I rolled scum in JV and I's first game on site. The Worst replaced in and it came down to us three in ELo and I won. Since then they've had like a revenge thing where they want to roll scum together in a game against me. Good times.

As for why I townlean ABR at the moment: He voted Dannflor immediately after Dann voted Ythan, which is exactly what I would have done had I been active at that point in the game. That was my initial reaction.

The flaw with this is that ABR may not have been voting Dann for that exact reason, but I'm happy to assume it unless he says otherwise.
that's a really fast townlean for noticing something that would obviously stand out as weird to anybody regardless of their role pm color
In post 196, Winter Flakes wrote:It strikes me a bit odd that you ask about those two things but not the one where I'm practically hard accusing someone of having a scummy opening to the game?

what on earth does the likelihood of this thought being real have to do with you happening to have done that in some other game
