Open 834: Trust Fall - Game Over

[MafMen]

there's no way you're not the person I think you are

but I guess it's not implausible that you've forgotten who you are.

im starting to think maybe i shouldnt trust your reads on alignments LOL

[Prism]

I'm pretty sure I figured it out and I don't even know you so F

[MafMen]

????????????

[the worst]

i simply never explain any of my reads

[MafMen]

i feel like somehow im being collectively trolled by everyone yet the only one i know here is the duck

[Tammy]

oh i was talking about the scumread on duckie lol

i think it applies even more for scumreads lol

'the worst' initial scumping for claiming to not know the rules on page 3, when they had been referenced a couple times already by that point - potentially tricking someone into an early OMGUS trust thing. and also repeated claims Enchant is town, with no reason given.

a couple mildest of mild townpings. Liked Pookythemagicalbears opening appeal, felt genuine and performative where scum might worry about seeming needy. nothing else for now but I'm watching you.

This? The worst scum read is rather run of the mill, the kind that people and scum make all the time because it's an easy thing to point to in the thread and say I distrust this. The part of this that I do like is the tricking someone into an early omgus trust tell part. I liked it because it didn't really make all that much sense, nice infusion of attempting to interpret an action.

I didn't like the town read on you, mostly the performative part but giving a reason for why that was a mild town ping and then I didn't like the follow up but I'm watching you thing.

Cookie could be town, sure, but I don't follow your reasoning.

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

I guess part of my hesitation here is that so much of this is self-facing, and reacting to my wrong expectations to ameliorate me. There's no weaponization of the expectations you have for me, and that throws me. I was surprised to see you drop the explanation about my preference so quickly. It is a perceptive and clear divergence.

Like I'm astounded that you took the preference seriously enough to remember it and you make the connection. No one else onsite even

remembers

the preference let alone uses it.

I'm not ameliorating you; I'm just existing. I mean maybe I am? But it's not purposeful. I expect you to question me and you are. I'm sorry if I'm being weird; I'm tired, don't feel all that great, and am in a bit of a weird headspace being here today. I don't know that without that if I'd be much different, maybe I'd have more energy I don't know. I don't think I'm being very off but maybe I am.

I'm not sure why you think I would weaponize any expectations I have of you right when the game begins considering I have a tendency to observe these things for a bit anyway. The preference that you're talking about might be a bigger thing to me if we were in a normal game. The game mechanic alone goes a long way in negating that very preference. In fact, even in asking it I didn't think it really mattered much because my two pieces were is prism doing the puffery thing or does the game mechanic negate it. As far as I'm concerned, that's something I can't differentiate as it stands right now because the game mechanic exists and your approach could be very different. I'm sure if I wanted to look solvey I could make a bigger deal out of it than it was, but I'm not scum and for me it was a passing thought that stuck out enough for me to ask but not make much of.

I think "ameliorating" has a more scum-POV spin on it over a neutral one. You're just casually defying expectations and explaining defying them, which is definitely existing and casual but is very difficult for me to correctly sort.

mafmen keeps pinging me

id love if this read gets more depth
not because im annoying about people reads not having reasons
not because i get really mad at peoples scumreads on me
but because im a bad person and want scumreads on me to be indepth so i can argue about it

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

wanting to argue is scum indicative
