Please link me to your town and scum game.


already done #28

Double talk:

states scum read reason based on meta. it is refuted shortly afterwards.
You pursue the read basing meta on just two games despite knowing there are claimed counter examples
You challenge Mollie to refute meta read based on examples of meta you chose
You are all aboard the basis of your meta read....

but you want me to explain....
farside22 wrote:Also I don't doubt or question when players say titus has been chatty when there is more then one stating that, but again you axle have yet to explain to me how my read coming into this and expressing my view at the time means anything?

I don't and didn't say, i had (real) problem about what you did
"at the time"
, mistakes based on your personal experience of Titus meta is entirely plausible.

It was lack of curiosity, afterwards once it had been said in the thread that counter examples existed
and you bull headedly went ahead with but yes I have this example of titus being not chatty. (one example does not a meta make)
That was what piqued me.
Spoiler: rider (real)
Whats (real) mean: Mollies original point has some small merit even when you point out your personal meta experience is different. If you are scum you can use that, to make a false case, or not be interested enough verify that its true. meh.
and Then its that you didnt want to find out about the counter examples, earlier when you were told about them, that is my actual problem with your play.
BUT
Its still less than my concern about Tier.


More Double Talk:


VM, wants to claim
Valkyrie Mollie wrote:I think far is scum.

VOTE: farside a trillion times over

reason being I think her read on titus is bs.

yet
also wants what is known in ye olde Aus vernacular as "A bob each way". (a bob is old money)
Valkyrie Mollie wrote:if any1 wants help me convince guy that far is scum plz feel free to!!!

Valkyrie Mollie wrote:I think guy and i are gonna fight. :(

That is so bad I parodied the 194 offer here




So I will do you a deal.
if you stop double talking, I will stop responding to it.

You either think your meta read on Titus is still valid with the claimed counter examples or you dont. Say which clearly.

@ Axle Some people will only read tl/dr's. It might get you a larger viewership. I read walls, and sometimes write them.

I know your scum read of me is misplaced. Do you feel I am lying about something in ? What about it reads as off to you? I don't really have a way to refute your scum read of me based on the case I see you having against me, but I don't feel that it is necessarily fabricated. It just seems very weak.

I do think that spending this much time talking about meta issues is a waste of everyone's time. I only find meta to be marginally useful anyway, too many people have some amount of knowledge of their own meta to make it worth while, and to me this entire argument between farside and Axle looks like them finding each other scummy because they have different meta reads.

I have a hard time in the rvs/early game stage applying much content because of this. A lot of the time I tend to fall on the side of asking players questions once I start to have reads on them because I find answers to questions more constructive than giving my own opinions (though I will give opinions if I think they are really needed or asked about them).

Post has a formal tone, to me. It just doesn't seem to flow naturally. Sounds a little self conscious.

I was genuinely considering having a post restriction to amuse myself, but decided against it.
"i have the sickest grossest feeling that even if it's my lynch today, my townflip still won't lead to a tso lynch, and then he'll find some bullshit way to reason either shooting or lynching gm tomorrow because if there's anyone who can strongarm a mislynch despite his reads or cases being proved wrong time and again it's tso"

What do you feel about my other scum reads? Especially 3D's replacement. Unfortunately I think Seraphim's going to be replaced too. I
hate
it when my scum reads are lurkers.

My scum read on you is tone, and if you're trying to solve this puzzle (for real), I don't think it's that big an obstacle to overcome. A reads list would help.

I lynch Townies as Town often. You will too if you keep playing. Don't worry about a scum read on you, help expose the scum.

Dumb meta question, is all your Mafia experience in your sig?

I played a lot like 5 years ago on another site that doesn't seem to be around anymore, but my sig has all of my experience on this site.

As for a reads list I am starting to have more solid reads on people expect one in the next couple days.

This didn't really answer my questions.

Wikipedia wrote:In psychology, cognitive dissonance is the mental stress or discomfort experienced by an individual who holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values at the same time, or is confronted by new information that conflicts with existing beliefs, ideas, or values.


What Farside did isn't Cog-Dis; she went on and on about how BRantz is scummy, and then voted VM instead for shaky reasons. Her reasoning doesn't contradict itself, as her reads aren't mutually exclusive. But I find the thought process behind her attacking BRantz for scumminess and then voting someone else for little reason at the time, and then coming up with more reasons later (something about meta or something I can't be bothered to translate that mess), to not be a natural thought process. Do you disagree?

And to repeat my questions:

1.

Witness Protection wrote:
Farside sticks to incredulousness that looks real.


What does this mean?

2. What is your read on Farside, and what reasons do you have for that read?

I like how she's expressed her scum reads, fought to be clear, without admitting she's wrong, came around to "though I know Titus thus, others might know her differently". Does this make her "Town I'll never ever vote"? No, but not a good Day 1 lynch IMO.

It'd be nice if you'd play, yeah.

You voted for Belisarius a long while back, with no explanation. You're so under the radar the only reason I noticed is because I decided to ISO you, and was woefully underwhelmed with your 5 posts. Wherein you have 3 excuses for not playing and 2 votes without reasons.

But I digress.

If you're going to vote for Beli, would you care to share your reasons with the rest of the class?
And if you'd please take the time to read the thread, and then share any thoughts you have? Kthx.

Ah, so that's where the cog-dis was. Gotcha.

Thanks for bringing those posts up, I hadn't really noticed them. I'm not sure how to feel about that.It sounds like Far's comment in 163 is that BRantz post is scummy because he's expressing the idea that having strong townreads is bad. But she says no less than 20 minutes later that she doesn't like Mollie's buddying...Whiiiich appears to be contradictory.

@Farside
: Can you please explain the above? Why is BRantz post bad, but you express the same idea a few posts later and it's okay?

If I'm not mistaken you still scumread both BRantz and VM. Do you think they could be scum together?

axle I have no idea what you are tying to say in your big long post cos it doesn't make sense to me cos I am not sure how I can be any more transparent then stating that I think far is scum and I thought guy and I were going to fight cos when we talked prior he wasn't seeing it.

also tso read just took a dive i thought that he was town cos of the pr and i thought that it was obs and now he is saying he was faking it. last time I saw some1 faking 1 they were scum.

Town reads are normal. Adding the will not lynch was unnecessary.
Adding it on page 5 was unnecessary. Brantz I thought was complaining about having the town reads.

Axel is starting to be a scum read.
Sarcasm is just a way of saying how stupid you think someone is but in a more polite way.
