Let's look at the actual sequence of posts and see who instigated whom:
↑ Nero Cain wrote:also major argument with Titus in
3...
2...
1...
Second post after he replaced in. The first one was him asking for people to tell him the game state so he didn't have to read for himself.
First, Nero predicts a "major argument".
↑ Nero Cain wrote:Is Titus
right?
Whats the case on AJ?
Emphasis added by me. This is the first provocation by Nero. He went out of his way to intentionally poke Titus to get a reaction. Titus had not responded to his "major argument" post, so this is clearly first instigation/provocation.
↑ Titus wrote:@nero, my last three games I was spot on for my scum reads.
You might try listening to me for a change.
The try to wagon Titus box has even been checked to.
Titus points out that her reads have been really good, objectively speaking. I can vouch because I was in one of those games, and she had it figured out on day one.
Emphasis mine again. Titus made a factual statement about being on a hot streak at doing well finding scum. There was no need to get personal and make the sarcastic "lovely arrogance" comment. This is just Nero trying to instigate {again} a fight with Titus, since he entered the game by predicting one and she didn't take the bait and give him what he wanted.
↑ Titus wrote:Nero, stating I was right recently and can prove it isn't arrogance when you ask if I am ever right.
Cogent and calm response by Titus, after being provoked twice. So far what we have objectively is Nero trying to provoke Titus into a fight.
↑ Nero Cain wrote:Is there a reason you try to make everything about you?
You are the one who started it and kept instigating. Why are you trying to blame Titus? (To everyone else; I pose the same question to you; what is the town motive for picking a fight and then dishonestly trying to make the target of your instigation and provocation appear to be the one who started it).
↑ Nero Cain wrote:I mean we've had this same conversation before about each of us not trusting our reads, and for me its still the same thing, why should I trust your reads if you won't trust mine?
↑ Titus wrote:No. Is there a reason you always have to be contrary to me?
I don't think I am. I replaced in and you tried to strong arm a AJ lynch. I said no and then you got all pissy and said I was being mean to you.
So why not try to sell me on the merits of the AJ case?
What reads did you give for Titus to trust? Why do you feel like someone you just tried to bait into a fight is obligated to spoon feed you things that were already said. Do you generally replace into game and demand that the rest of the game be your peons and do the work for you? Or was your entrance an attempt to kick up a bunch of dust and distraction? {rhetorical question}
↑ Nero Cain wrote: ↑ Titus wrote:If I thought Nero looked at evidence, I would engage him on that level.
really? I don't oppose you 'cause you are wrong 3/4th of the time but 'cause your "cases" are filled with more wholes than Swiss cheese. Why do you feel the need to take pot shots at me?
Nero again is back to the provocation. Despite Titus objectively being spot on and very top of her game in 3 of her last 4 games, Nero intentionally flips it around and says she was
wrong
, insults her ability to make a case, and then tries to frame the whole thing as her fault {again} with the question at the end. Nero came in with instigation and provocation and lies, but he wants us to believe the narrative that Titus is the immature one provoking and instigating things?
↑ Titus wrote:My reads have been right 3/4th of the time.
Re-stating the earlier claim (which one can look up quite easily).
↑ Nero Cain wrote:says the person that just said I don't look at evidence.
Nero clearly doesn't look at evidence. He entered the thread without reading it, straightaway went to provoking and instigating a fight with Titus and then trying to blame her for it, and then intentionally misrepresented what Titus said to further provoke. He clearly never actually went to look. He seems only interested in provoking a fight, no matter what he has to say. What's the town motive for this?
↑ Titus wrote:You just proved it.
Nero: Titus sucks.
Titus: No my town games have been right 3/4 of the time.
Nero: Ignore you because your reads are wrong 3/4 of the time.
Me: desires a vig shot.
Pretty much this.
So ... who was it saying that Titus started it and Nero was pure as the driven snow?
