Yes. Two examples are Farkran in Undertale S Open, which Aristeia explicitly cited in a previous game, Borjerfkin in 2181 which she is also well-acquainted with. GreyICE also kind of tried it in Warehouse-13 but completely sucked at it.

Sorry, not the accusation itself.

Intentionally responding in ways that
make
the argument inaccessible and labyrinthine, which gets dismissed as TvT garbage

It was more of a townlean before

And you just conveyed ur perspective in a way that just *explains* why you were so sus of ari and why you were scumreading her. Like the pieces fell into place and the perspective for ur half if the argument just makes *sense* now
Which makes me think town

Enjoy the book!

In post 547, Prism wrote:I felt 197 was intentionally shifting the discussion to something more favorable underhandedly rather than a direct refutation. Playing the "I don't understand" card simultaneously when I looped its point back around to the original argument had me in disbelief. I interpreted it as a glimmer of understanding and sleight of hand, so yes, it felt incredibly malicious.

Aristeia has previously accused me of intentionally making things convoluted/hard to understand, in another we had a postgame blowup about how she wanted to pick a miserable fight with me only to tactically replace out when it was started on my terms, and I didn't think it was even
slightly
difficult to understand for someone familiar with the feedback I directly gave her. It's also been a very effective and frequently used tactic against me, and Aristeia has seen it in action.

I thought Aristeia would headhunt and play dumb as scum, absolutely. I don't think she'd actually abandon pushing, though, if those were really her motivations.
The reason I did not understand your argument is because I was confused about how you could feel that strongly about something that is incredibly weak and borderline nonsensical to me.

I re-read your statements and tried to figure out if there was something in there that I was missing.

But as it has now been explained to me over and over there is none so I'm going to just ignore your "case" on me as it feels not even worth addressing atp.

Was she making a case on you? Doesn't seem like prism is even clear about your alignment.

I hope you have a wonderful, wonderful night, Aristeia. You are currently a townlean.

It is borderline miraculous that you have somehow missed this pattern of meta expectations & anticipated adjustments clashing as the basis for half of my reads, but you are nothing short of miraculous.

I encourage you to flip me for dayplay reasons since there are so many, and that has been your primary hangup. No mechanics are required.

My other idea is just burn the skitter and honestly good chance it works good but god help us all if it doesn't and that approach would probably tilt her off the end of the earth.
If you figure out how to read me, let me know. I have no idea.
