i think it's been talked about already, but i dislike 477, specifically the malakittens read. like, at the time of posting that, it had been 8 hours since the game started. that feels WAY too early to slap a "they're not posting therefore scum" sticker on someone, especially considering mala was complaining about the amount of posts, which to me seems like a possible indicator of "i'm too busy right now". the rest of the post is kind of meh, i'm curious why those exact people have been chosen for a readslist i guess.
and 481 is equally bad... like, marci was doing that readslist to help lily apparently. but, if i'm struggling to get into the game and someone does a post like that to help me, my first thought is to actually interact with that post and try to form my own reads and whatnot, and lily just blandly agrees, and she specifically agrees with the one read i find the worst on the list
i feel heartbroken taly doesn't see the towniness in me
not really digging galron, but i guess he gets some points for being the first person to call out lily in 514
554 - hm. agree with not liking RH9's response, not sure i see how guiltylion's post there is strictly bad. so would like an elaboration when you can, @lld. also, do you currently have any preference on who you pair with?
okay, i made it to where i first started posting. i have... probably too many people i find suspicious and too many people i flat out don't have a read on. guiltylion and lld are probably the only two ladies from whom i felt something resembling townpings.

actually, agh, i don't know. in my experience with guiltylion, when he's been town, that i just immediately read all his posts and go "yes, very true, i feel the same thing, spot on". and then one game where he was scum, a few of his posts instead made me go "???". which, might be a bit unfair to ask of someone that i need to mindmeld with them on every single post ever or else they're scum, but goddamn.

but also also is it fair? because the things that made me go "???" have mostly been the probability stuff with andante (which, i guess it's actually nai if he's done it as town) and the grilling of ydrasse on why she called a datisi/ydrasse pt a recipe for disaster (but he doesn't know our mutual history, the comment made perfect sense to me).
the only post now that is actually making me "???" is 312. maybe i'm a bit dumb but i still don't get why he's reading me positively from that interaction but not catboi. especially considering that his explanation seems to be that he thought my issue was with him dropping the context and not with him using bad faith to push andante - which, isn't dropping the context just the means to push in bad faith? why is he separating the two?? i don't know :<

What do you think?
ugh
u and catbois post..
made me want to rant about the people me and lily play with.. but i wont.In post 559, catboi wrote:Perhaps that's an unfair expectation to be placing on her in a large theme game with many experienced players, some amount of increased hesitation would be understandable from a town POV, but the game is young and my preliminary suspicion is on her.
i think i generally get more sarcastic when im stressed/bored tho, i dont think its a main part of my personality usually
in the way ur looking for guilty lions.. if its typical marci style..
shes gonna compare it to people who i fucking hate. people who i purposefully get snippy at because theyve done too much, that i cant be nice.
in the me + lily era there, i ignore their "main bandwagons of the day" and their "town cores" and just vote who i genuinely sus, meanwhile nowadays i do sort of the same thing but i literally just..
vote and then leave and only explain if someone asks :/
i think i already said i think i was by accident making stuff up because of my bad memory..?In post 568, GuiltyLion wrote:I also think her saying she's "enjoyed" RH9's posts is a truly bizarre take. I doubt that RH9 is someone that left a significant impression on her or that his posts were particularly interesting/amusing/good. It doesn't at all ring like a Genuine Thought to me, I struggle to understand why town!marci would say that about RH9
569 can someone remind me to respond to this later, ive been trying to, but everything im typing is coming out as something horrible and mean since im so pissed
haters gonna hate true love when they see itIn post 574, Datisi wrote:when i read 446, i got a very strong gut feeling that marci x lily is a pair that should 100% not be happening. i'm not sure i can even consciously explain why. so to see lld immediately call that out, i want to say that's goodvibes from her
ugh im up too late seething with anger

I actually totally missed that catboi post until Marci pointed it out but it's so similar to my own Marci experience/read that it gives me lotsa good feelings about catboi

Also I'm thinking about this more and it rubs me the wrong way, like LLD is trying to bribe catboi with townpoints if he scumreads meIn post 566, Lady Lambdadelta wrote:To be honest, if you really HAD mind melded with me on my dislike of the GL post, I'd feel a lot better about your alignment.
I guess if I'm being self aware that's something I definitely do as town sometimes (hand out towncred when people share my scumreads) but it's inherently a little manipulative when done so explicitly and I certainly don't like being the target of it

Do you have any thoughts on whether Ydrasse is more likely to say it as town or scum? Or do you see it as strictly NAI? If it makes perfect sense to you for her to say that as town I'll take that into accountIn post 579, Datisi wrote:but he doesn't know our mutual history, the comment made perfect sense to me

Hey, hey friend
Respond to this when you see it, not when you're done reading.
How many games of forum mafia have you played, and how often have you played on MS?

:/ I'm sorry if I made ya mad Marci. If I wasn't clear I didn't mean anything negative by what I said about you, I've enjoyed your personality every time we play together, I can take sarcasm no problem I get a kick out of zingers its always just a game to me. I hope you don't feel like I have a negative opinion of you as a person, I don't at all and didn't in any way mean to suggest that I did

i don't really think it's ai. it's a somewhat ongoing thing that i'm likely to scumread ydrasse and/or misread her. and she has seen some of my good scum performances. so i can definitely see town!her not wanting the pt to devolve into paranoid screaming from both sides, and i can see scum!her now wanting to pair with a loose cannon who is likely to suspect her. which is why i said i think it's somewhat town!indicative that in the end, she said she'd be okay pairing with me, since i think if she were thinking about the above and trying to pocket me, she'd have agreed immediately?In post 583, GuiltyLion wrote:Do you have any thoughts on whether Ydrasse is more likely to say it as town or scum?

(I did mention Slayer's Gambit and WIFOM, right?)
P-Edit: I am leaning Town for Datisi due to solving intent and Andante due to that whole exchange between GL, her, catboi and Datisi. I am confbiased on catboi and Prism both being Town because they were amazing SEs. Taly is mod-confirmed. GL is null but possibly becoming a townlean for solving intent. I need to finish reading before deciding on the others. I have STD as null because of everything that STD has contributed so far that I have read is NAI.

I don't really know what more to say about your hangup on 312, it's not very interesting to me? I think my catboi ping was misguided and have said as much. I think I was just feeling defensive with how he jumped in for what I felt was a pretty shallow point against me ("you're just using a gotcha question"), but since then we had Cabd give a wild "very obviously town" read on Catboi, Catboi made some other posts and reads that I felt demonstrated a lot more thought behind his opinions than I had previously assumed/seen, and as a result I don't really have much to say on that original yuck vibe from him anymore, it ceased to exist. I kinda think the whole thing is blown out of proportion as I also think Andantes response to my original original post was also fine
Like if you have specific questions you need answered I can try but my attention is on people like cabd/marci/rh9/lld now

Wait, I get it, Datisi is it more about you being worried I'm scum trying to pocket you and giving you towncred when I shouldn't?
I'll sleep on it but I dunno if I really know how to help with feelings of skepticism that I'm seeing you as town when you're town. I could try to reassure you that I'm just good at feeling out your vibes but I suspect that might not actually help if I try to elaborate on it, it'd prob come across to you as even more pockety
I do wanna talk about your Lily scumread cause I don't think I share that feeling but I'm in bed and will have to do it tomorrow

kinda. i've also noticed i tend to stress way more about alignments of people i have experience with and i'm on good terms outside of game, and you're one of the few people in this game that fits that description, so x_x
i'd like you to elaborate on it, and sure i'm down to talk about lily. i'm supposed to be preparing a seminar right now anyway so >_>

This is my most and least favourite thing about you. You get easily convinced and often become a target for scum. That's why I didn't realise that you were Circle in Mini 2250. You seemed less amenable than I would have thought. Also, I know that you get very upset and start lockscumming the Normal Listmod, the moment a Newbie fakes a Tracker guilty on you in a Newbie game which leads to even the spectator beginning to lose their trust in you. (This actually happened. It was Newbie 2082.)In post 403, catboi wrote:actually pretty easy to manipulat

So, if I propose, it won't be bad? I am kind of thinking that you are my first choice because we will be able to sort each other and then solve together if we're both Town, which is what I believe.In post 407, Lady Lambdadelta wrote:Marci, if you want to pair with me for the sake of learning experience, I'm willing to accept that offer, but I will warn you.
I'm a quick trigger and if I get the sense you're even remotely scum I'll pull it and remove myself without hesitation. So if you have plans to live long and prosper in this game, you may not want me.
