uh you're looking at 2 different posts made hundreds of posts apart across several irl days in different gamestates

if you have specific issues about the trajectory and how gamma got from one pov to another that's fine but just saying 'oh he thought something different 600 posts prior!!!1!' is disingenuous

This sounds like you knew this phase was coming.
shut the fuck up wolf
If that's what you want to do, that's fine.
Every reply from
peta
in this dialogue chain pings me more than the previous.

sounds like challenging
Dwlee's
read on
Infinity
but throws me off from this idea because
peta's
focus shifts from defending
Infinity
to being scumread based off the idea
Dwlee
is town...

But
Dwlee
seems more closely in
peta's
PoE than not, so why set an expectation that
Dwlee
must be town for him to avoid scrutiny? The framing of the situation doesn't make sense to me and possibly informed. So I figured the post was self-conscious in the interest of
peta's
defense, not
Infinity's
. Which is a weird stance to take for town who disagrees with another townread being suspected.

The post does nothing to sway me from my above thought process. Why would
peta
be concerned with
"down-the-line"
when the setup was very unclear? Sure, he could be mislim bait, but there doesn't seem to be a binary elimination setup so far, so this post reads more of just
"stop paying attention to me"
more than
"I don't want to be misunderstood."


And when
Galron
actually calls him out on this, the aggression in feels very disproportional to the situation. If
peta
wasn't worried about being viewed as informed (in the idea that he actually wasn't), why does he spend energy trying to dismiss and antagonize someone he already scumreads? It reads in bad faith, and by this point, I've lost trust in most of
peta's
intention in the dialogue tree.

Also, I have absolutely no clue if
Dunn
is reading this game beyond every two or third post that mentions him.

This isn't a slight at all, I just can't feel compelled to think he's town because he's returned to the exact same conversations as the previous game phases, and has added no additional content. The coasting feels scummy because it has worked in his favor.

just gonna point out that even though i townread gamma at this point we technically we haven't really seen anything that disproves s/s

if they were actually svs wagons picking your partner and then sabotaging the flip is a great way to make you look unaligned in that situation
While I agree with this, a
Gamma/Galron
duel feels both like something scum would predict and a rehash from the chair vote. I'd like to see new contestants in the hot seat.

oh ha, I misread, I thought you were like
"hmmm, I feel what you feel about
peta
but toward

and wanted to see if I could rule out associatives in regard to sorting you so I asked about two slots I've been uncertain of, I made an oopsie.

In post 2109, Saber wrote:I'm not interested in voting for Ydrasse or Gypyx. I don't like Infinity voting for Gypyx on the basis Gamma contestant means Prism more likely to be a stagehand.

Infinity, you've made this assumption twice now that the people pushing Gamma the most are more likely to be a stagehand now that Gamma is probably a contestant - first with me, and now with Prism. The problem with that is the fact stagehands knew how the chair in the first phase would work, and that it comes with a heavy risk of the chaired person simply OMGUS executing their pusher.

I'm sure stagehand Prism would have some more reservations of pushing Gamma so aggressively had she considered this factor, which I'm sure she would've.
you say you don't like it but do you think it makes infinity scummy

i don't think we should really be worried too much about galron/ydrasse wanting to vote themselves, if they're scum there's a good chance they're just trying to make it seem like they want to be voted. it's unlikely the duel is actually a good thing

taly respectfully this is hot nonsense and if you believe i'm an optimal kill over any of the people not playing it would be an absolute atrocity, especially when the case for me being scum here is so incredibly tenuous

preflip associatives are just awful to use and will lead you down a false path a majority of the time

first point: i wanted dwlee to elaborate on his scumread of infinity. "tonal read" is a really silly reason to be scumreading someone that deep into the game, but it also gives me nothing to work with. i didn't bother pressing him to elaborate, because i do not actually care what the reasoning behind a "tonal read" over 1000 posts into the game is. truthfully, him giving such a crappy explanation is probably +town but iwouldn't hang my hat on that

i already adressed the "down the line" point. it is nonsensical.

how the you read that exchange with galron and conclude
I'M
the one acting in bad faith, i have absolutely no idea
