yep p much. i'm p sure i just said it's likely i'd be more engaged if people are pushing me.

so again are you actually scumreading me y/n cuz i feel like you kinda sidestepped giving a straight answer to this like twice in the past 12 posts now.
(and i'm starting to feel like you're trying to avoid giving a straight answer ...)

the reason why i haven't necessarily been trying to actively sort u is that i kinda have ~vague nebulous pings~ that you're scummy, but if you actually tried to ask me why, i have no idea how to articulate it beyond ~vague nebulous pings~ and i don't have anything in particular to pin it on or that i can point to
and i was kinda hoping that voting would spark some sort of reaction but apparently i just learned that i'm not gonna be getting that from u
and i townread a bunch of people, and nullread a bunch of people, but don't necessarily scumread anyone super strongly so at least the second time (i.e. the one from earlier tonight) was more of a resting place for my vote while i figure out i want to do next because i know i don't townread you, which is a lot mroe than i can say about other people

your cabd read is p inscrutable to me, but i'm kinda assumign it's gonna be so i'm not super interested in it
why are you townreading prism?
and why is pooky all the way towards the bottom

Sometimes votes and scumreads give me an opportunity I don't often get in games where I'm a very well known quantity.

Unless I have a lot of history with someone, and sometimes even then, the main value to me in being voted is in seeing what happens after that. Who follows along either with a vote or with words. Who avoids it. Who pokes at it. It can be the most useful wagon for analysis that I see that whole gameday.

well, i don't know if i would necessarily say 'strongest scumread' so much as 'person who's niggling me the most'

(and tbf this dialogue is probably doing a lot more to help me sort u then anything else that you've done this game)

can you articulate what about 'how [i've] interacted with [you]' is scummy / prompting you to scumread me?

pedit and sorry did you answer what you liked abt prism and what u didn't like about pooky?

Mean mostly around the Prism wagon, and the "oh you want me to read the wagon about the player who is at F-2, what a bother"

I'm rereading and am reacting a little more charitably around the interaction w/ Elements; I had filed away that he didn't really follow-up on that interaction but not true actually

Eh, I'm feeling different about it on reread; circa 1039 that's where I was at

I feel like any legitimate conversation about getting "pocketed" like 15 fucking minutes into D1 where all that conversation was happening is just fucking silly noise

Yes that's fair but i feel like i've been up front as much as i can abt where i'm at (i.e. that up until this convo it was a lot of pings and that i literally could not articulate an answer), whereas i feel like you're trying to evade giving me a straight answer, and are trying to sidestep what i'm trying to get at (which if you actually interacted witu would incidentally would help me form a better read on you, which i've also said a few times now)

Like i feel like i'm actually trying to do something abt the pings now, but i cant get you to answer questions, and i cant tell if its because you dont have answers, or you're trying not to respond on purpose or if its something else

It's odd that I'm getting a ton of questions and you aren't so much.

I've kind of humored/returned his blandishments toward me just to see if I got echoes. I didn't really. The one thing I wondered/expected was if he'd ask me again about ice cream when I didn't volunteer a favorite flavor. I feel like he's rerolling some of the things he did when pocketing Alisae in the smoke filled game before fake-claiming mason-docs with him. I feel like this is intentionally replaying bits of his scumplay as a sort of a game. That on its own wouldn't clang because I think pooky just likes to play those kinds of games for the amusement of the playerlist. His push on DGB isn't going anywhere and he seems content to just leave it where it sits, a sort of edifice of work that is mostly scaffolding. There are spots in his iso where there's substance but it doesn't have the serious bite that many of his posts in the early Death Curse game did.

Is it actually, though?
