Amid the pressure of great events, a general principle gives no help.
On the path to becoming yourself, you'll need to choose alignment over validation from others, peace over addictive chaos, and being misunderstood over false acceptance. --TheHolisticPsychologistIdic- Pavowski

I never said that. I said that I was having difficulty parsing the Shakespeare posts (namely the sonnets, but A for effort) and if anyone else was. All the other posts are pretty standard early-game stuff, which are perfectly readable.In post 130, DeasVail wrote:

If they are, why vote COF over Off the Hook?
Off The Hook is probably the slot I'm least concerned about out of those 4, actually? I'm not sure why I need to be told what Gamma thinks without Gamma actually posting it but apart from that it's just weird appeasement vibes which might not mean much.
Child of Fairies is more interesting to me because of their interpretation that posts are difficult to parse. A very small proportion of posts so far are "Shakespearian" and honestly less than I would have expected going into a Shakespeare-themed game. If anything, the game has been easier to read than most other recent games I've played so it leads me to question where Child of Fairies' post is coming from. Is it an awkward attempt at light banter? Is Child of Fairies scum, feeling uncomfortable about that, and also more uncomfortable about posts that are more difficult to read as a result? I don't know, and I'm eager to find out!

I want things to happen but I don't have any strong enough opinions to make things happen so I will settle for this:
marci/Gamma and Pavowski feel good
Whemestar and kinda Galron and Child of Fairies feel ungood
Everyone else is irrelevant.

if you're acting like it's a sufficient explanation, it's notIn post 128, Off The Hook wrote:
yeah im totally trying to buddy lld glad u noticed bestie.In post 101, GuiltyLion wrote:If it's a good vote, why didn't you join it? absent that this kinda just feels like buddying LLD. I like that Dunn called this out as well
i wonder what this is...In post 85, Off The Hook wrote:hes also saying now he thinks galrons a fine vote but i do wanna wait a bit, i feel like if galrons scum itll become obv, when i saw scumgalron last he was basically not solving at all : DD (i think our efforts are better used elsewhere for now, and he'll become an obv solve given time)
a) you had to be pushed by Dunn to post it
b) why will it become obvious if Galron is scum? what experiences with him is that based on?
c) you say your "efforts" are better used elsewhere, but you haven't pushed anything or used your vote, so I'm not seeing a lot of effort elsewhere that's preventing you from making a "good vote"

:/ I didn't get any bad vibes from those postsIn post 69, Off The Hook wrote:have i ever played with u spif? i dont remember if i have, but what i do think is that these post have bad vibes!@@!#@!%
couldbe faked.couldbe faked, I didn't grok why you felt those in particular are more likely than any other post. Do you think scum!Spiff is more likely to use a bunch of question marks/exclamation points to act excited yet town!Spiff is not?
the bit about townreads on pav and Luke was referring to my own townreads on them. they both RVS'd you so I figured it was possible you already had multiple votes from other townies and wanted to add fuel to the fire. Though I actually did forget that Pav had moved his vote off of you by that point, I had just gone back and checked VC 1.2In post 128, Off The Hook wrote:
why do u think our townreads on luke & pav are a reason to vote us?In post 103, GuiltyLion wrote:VOTE: off the hook
I don't have especially strong scumvibes but claiming to support a vote without sheeping it + shading Bowser Jr slot for posts I find fundamentally NAI + townreading Luke & Pav makes me think my vote is best here
and i wanna know where tf did we townread luke???! i dont remember doing it myself, if anything i remember slightly shading him, and i dont see anything from gamma saying he did... or did u just make this up to push ur point along
You're really quick here to use your misinterpretation of my post (which admittedly was phrased poorly as it was late and I was tired) to accuse me of making things up, instead of thinking that you might be misunderstanding me instead."I think I no longer believe in monsters as faces in the floor or feral infants or vampires or whatever. I think at seventeen now I believe the only real monsters might be the type of liar where there's simply no way to tell. The ones who give nothing away"- GuiltyLion

I get lots of goodfeels from DV's 130, I had the same issues with COF's 100 (which was what prompted my 102), and while my question to DV was meant more in the spirit of "why vanity vote instead of joining my wagon" I totally resonate with his summary of the bad vibe from COF.
DV's follow up 161 is also a super townie post
VOTE: Child of Fairies
I also had a thought that if COF is scum, he might be more likely to say that I "seem fine" if I'm currently pushing on a town!OTS. may be a bit too much of a reach so I'ma sleep on it but the idea has taken hold in my head"I think I no longer believe in monsters as faces in the floor or feral infants or vampires or whatever.
