Mini Normal 2283 - Game Over!

[Thestatusquo]

I don't like the dismissive tone in BBTs posts because it seems like its not productive towards doing anything BUT producing defensiveness and certainly not in solving for alignment.

[Thestatusquo]

I think you have your answer.

PEdit - Hey Elements, I asked you a question earlier, would you mind going back and answering it?

which one?

ISO me?

[BlueBloodedToffee]

I think you have your answer.

I didn't even say the defensiveness was AI and anyone who has played games with me will know that I don't think defensiveness is a scum tell whatsoever. I was just surprised that the whole tone of the post was as defensive as it was.

[Thestatusquo]

Ok, can you answer me this then. If you're not saying that its alignment indicative, what is your point in pointing it out using a buzz word like "overdefensive" which is frequently associated with scumminess? If you're not saying its scummy it seems an awful lot like well poisoning to me.

What are you trying to accomplish in your questions with Eirolox? Because it seems to me a lot like you're grandstanding with no particular purpose towards discerning alignment.

[BlueBloodedToffee]

I didn't even use the buzzword of 'overdefensive' that you keep referencing. I said 'Defensive much'. This isn't even a big thing and is certainly not the bulk of what was my response to Eira so why are you focusing on that?

Talk about this?

5 and 228 both ping me. The meta on Frog is eh at best and comes to a conclusion I disagree with. I wanted to have my vote on someone.

[BlueBloodedToffee]

OK, can you explain why they ping you?

Cheeky scum? I like it.

Not satisfactorily

So this is fun, because what I'm doing here is a reaction test called "deliberately weak argument."

Which is where I make a post with a bunch of interaction points in it and one of them is "deliberately weak." I.e. a point thats easily refuted and responded to whereas the others require actual work or analysis.

The reason it is effective is a psychological difference in how town and scum tend to argue, where scum are generally arguing to win an argument and town are generally arguing to discern alignment. Town is very interested in engaging with the actual meat of a post and discussing where the differences lie whereas scum tend to be more interested in discerning alignment.

This is one of the more blatant fails of the deliberately weak argument test that I've ever seen. Obviously you didnt say over defensive, but I fail to see how that is relevant to the questions I asked you which you completely ignored in order to ridicule me for using the wrong turn of phrase.

anyway VOTE: BBT

Cheeky scum? I like it.

*eyeroll*

[Thestatusquo]

*scum tend to be more interested in winning the argument and less interested in discerning alingnment

is what that last line of the third paragraph should read.

[BlueBloodedToffee]

I hate "overdefensive" as a thing that people say in mafia games.

It's a buzzword that means nothing. Townies defend themselves. Sometimes excessively. Overdefensiveness is not alignment indicative in literally any way.

That definitely isn't what you did.

[Thestatusquo]

Yes, it is.

[Elements]

Where are the other points that are the so called "meat" of the confrontation?

[Elements]

ah, thank you

[BlueBloodedToffee]

And clearly my questioning of why you were focusing on such a non aspect of my post was me questioning your alignment.

[Thestatusquo]

You're scrambling now and you're still not answering my questions.

[Thestatusquo]

Whether you said overdefensive or defensive much was completely irrelevant to my questions. And yet it was the only thing you chose to respond to in order to try to win the argument.

[BlueBloodedToffee]

Yes, it is.

No, it isn't.

Again, the bulk, the first and the main point of this post is the overdefensiveness and that is clearly the aspect of the conversation that I was engaged in.

[BlueBloodedToffee]

Is this that thing where no matter what I post I'm flailing? Flapping? Scrambling? etc etc.

This isn't a newbie.

[Thestatusquo]

Swap in "defensive much" and the questions are the same.

That was my whole point of doing this.

You don't know how to respond so you keep trying to discredit me ineffectively.

It's classic caught scum.
