Bell's response really doesn't make me feel any better about them, but I'm not really sure what else we'd get out of it.
In post 846, DiamondSentinel wrote:Syr I think just deserves a bit of pressure. Not a hard read on them by any means, but something's bugging me.
Oh, and Tammy should get some of the pressure pie. Kinda forgot about that read, but there isn't much to make me feel any better.
@ffery are saying that 950 made you go back and read these as town?
I called them out because I disliked them regardless of alignment because they felt indiscriminate.
understanding what he means by pressure helps some. But, it's weird that he throws this stuff out and asks for non-specific other players to help him apply pressure when he's not coming off as all that much of a team player, if that makes sense. With him, next step is figuring out if my ideas about how he approaches the game are accurate and if they are, then what motivation am I seeing here. Surface level, he's reminding me a lot of scum-Diamond in the Perpetual Mylo game I modded a couple years ago.

Nah, that was the last post I made before I left to pick up pizza.
Plus, I compulsively check the thread.

well, here was my rationale on that first part: he comes in, he's doing his little gimmick. he sees no one is really playing ball with him, he's just kind of getting ignored. at this point, he has the option to just keep posting that way, or drop it. he chooses to drop it, because he actually wants to get people to respond to him. would suggest he doesn't want to get ignored and therefore more likely town. as scum he probably could have chosen to just keep going with the gimmick, most people weren't scumreading him and it'd basically be a free pass to do whatever because he wasn't actually getting scrutinized. as for his vote on me he seemed to suggest i was performing towniness by saying i was trying to draw something out of jake? i think. it's silly and wrong but i don't think it's necessarily scummy as of right now.
that's just my thoughts, i could be giving too much credit but that's where i'm at right now
I just sorta respond to whatever. The inner machinations of my mind are a mystery. Especially to me.

some stray thoughts:
- Gamma's unvote was towny, earlier tonal issues with him are starting to slip away
- i liked that Syr was thinking the same thing i was (doing a background meta check on jake to figure out wtf his deal is) before i'd even said anything about it
- have i once again wrongly inflicted misery on Scheherazade?
- votes are incredibly diffuse right now, which is both weird and bad. there needs to be consolidation somewhere soon. i wish i had a good suggestion as to where. i don't.

...what page are you reading? because if you're still catching up, yes, you're out of date
im caught up but even on the previous page i still see DS in the bottom tier of read lists.

well, no, no one's really talking about voting him, he's hanging around the middle of lists, don't know what gave you that impression at all. feels very disconnected from the thread

am i misreading this list? to me the people below the bottom line were nulls and the people in the middle were scum. the ordering is strange but thats how i interpreted the labels for the lines.

oh i guess i misinterepreted it because i'm tired and didn't read the categories close enough and just saw the middle and assumed it was, well, middle. don't agree with several of those placements.
Not much. Catching up with a catch up post. Which at my current rate will occur sometime in the next 10 hours.
very much need to see it

If only I were around and posted those mostly as a way to get people to start talking reads to me (or about me) and form consolidation wagons because we have four days left.
