So ur reading T3 as town for doing things that scum are likely going to be seen as suspicious to scum players, dwlee

No, I'm explaining why I agree with t3. I think t3 is town here for thinking the same exact thing about shea's way of reading people here

Also 1041 is worded so weird I'm actually not sure what you are saying except that I'm pretty sure it's not what I'm saying

I meant ur reading him as town for doing things town would be suspicious of and scum directly avoid doing for that reason. Worded badly

But okay I don’t agree this is how Shea is playing

[Firebringer]

Dwlee has moved up a pokebox

[Firebringer]

I ate too much of the brownies and now I feel like I’m gonna throw up

[T3]

Dwlee uses they/them pronouns please.

P sure he said elsewhere he was fine with any pronouns but k then

I was fine with it but lately I've been less fine with it cause brain stuff and whatnot

[T3]

Dwlee probably town for townreading me

[Truth Innuendos Lies]

I'm thinking that FB is likely town. Also feeling T3 and Dragons as town, but a bit less than FB.

Waiting for that "more" that Goat promised. I don't like how Goat felt the need to explain their entrance.

@Mod: Can you please also sort the VCs so that the most votes is on top? Thank you so much!

Just to be clear that isn't what I think t3 is town for

Second TILs request.

yes i got that

ok but given that its RVS and all wagons are going to be dumb why did you make that callout like you did? Further to the point, what did you hope to accomplish by calling it out like you did?

It seems to me that as someone who has been playing since 2004 you would know that frequently wagons start in RVS for basically no reason, are dumb, and then from the ashes of those wagons people actually start having more relevant opinions and that's how we move from noise to signal.

So like, what does town you hope to accomplish in this instance from specifically saying "x wagon is dumb."

Like, yes it is, that's the point. And I know you know this.

To discuss a specific example here, shea, I didn't take this reason for STD being scum seriously because I think your concept of assigning motivations is flawed here. You argue that town!STD shouldn't have much motivation to make that post which sure

maybe

, but that doesn't actually imply that scum!STD DOES have the motivation to make that post imo. I think that reading based on intent is 100% the way to go normally but I just don't agree with how you are assigning these intents which is why I made the analogy to vote hopping that people typically think is scummy

[Alexandrite]

Someone explain the brain cell scumcase because they stole that braincell from me.

Also I'd like to add that wisdom is giving scum!pings to me

I actually explained why I thought there was potential scum motivation for doing that in another post in pretty great detail tbh so like maybe read the rest of the posts.

there's been so many times this game where people are like either just dismissing me by saying "player is lol town"

that's just site meta now, and it makes being town extremely frustrating when everyone is willing to go to the mats for their shitty meta townreads and then refuse to budge while the town argues for a hundred pages of zero content and then settles on an un-aliving only at the most reluctance. This has been trending on-site for at least a year or two.

I'm townreading you Shea, so pick a player (two if their isos are super light) and I'll try to deep dive them if things slow down tonight

- Meg

there isn't one, because a) they aren't even pretending to have a reason or b) it's just "lol tone", which is a bit like picking on the weird kid at the party for being weird and being unaware of the latest social calculus. like, thanks. we know. thanks for rubbing it in.

and knowing we get vindicated in the end when we townflip isn't really a comfort when it saps enjoyment out of the fucking game.

on that note...

@Mod: replace us. sorry, and thanks.

What do you think of my points about braincell being somewhat unfiltered for scum? I think the entire push reeks of surface level antics.

I'm also sad they are replacing out.

meh people always going to wagon for dumb reasons. thats mafia.

And I disagreed with that. The main thing I remember is that you think it's so STD can look like they're participating when they're not actually doing much but STD already had a bunch of posts in the thread. Like as scum they could just as easily have not made that post or made it. If STD was lurking around, made that post, then dipped sure but he wasn't, he was around.

Being at a computer really makes me say words better maybe I should do this more often

[Kitty Trauma Team]

What do you think of my points about braincell being somewhat unfiltered for scum?

I dunno, you say unfiltered, I'd call them more transparent than anything. I think the posts follow a logical progression in thought process. I'm not paying a ton of attention lately but I don't get the wagon on this slot.

I read emotion better than anyone on the site, and it was kinda surprising to see them replace out at that point they did. I'd never townread a slot for replacing out, god knows. But I do like the posts when they were playing. And the frustration at being read for "tone" rings genuine, if a bit premature frustration-wise. If I made my guess, i'd assume this user has been run up the flagpole before for tone.

I'd lean town on this slot.

[Thestatusquo]

disagreeing with me is fine, but that is not the same thing as claiming that I did not provide an explanation on why I thought there was more scum motivation than town motivation.
