I feel a great disturbance in my nap. As if syr is leaning too hard into the shit posting realm to dodge Ffery and I, and it's scary.

Ffery I think we might have to end him for mercy.

This is very disingenuous. Don't get me wrong, I don't like you strawmanning either, but I voted you before the question we're talking about you grokking.

hint of a townread on ffery.
normally I'd shrug and let your "not liking my body of work" lie for the moment but I'd love to hear what you didn't like about that post in particular

I thought it was very strange to go out of your way to give this read as opposed to finding ways to test it or holding off entirely.

I just feel ambivalent about playing as me, that's all. It's nice to see you too, obviously I joined for the playerlist etc etc, I just really didn't want it to be known that I was me especially given that a couple of people here know me.

Prism · Post Post #255 (ISO) » Sat Nov 28, 2020 10:20 am

Might as well save yourself the alt switching and just tag in on the main at this point.

I'm a nice guy and won't meta you. I'll treat you as a hectic alt instead mmkay?

I mean, you revoted me in the post, and I think that has a certain implication, no?

Mod Pizza · Post Post #258 (ISO) » Sat Nov 28, 2020 10:21 am

I also just feel vaguely failure-ish when thinking of times I've been hardpocketed too, so there's that as well, even though I'm aware it's totally irrational and not actually the case.

This is wrong, unless we are talking about two separate things. Please go back and review the timeline.

Don't think this line of questioning is productive any more. Can you both instead unpack your syr read because I'm no longer calm about it.

Prism · Post Post #266 (ISO) » Sat Nov 28, 2020 10:24 am

I'm literally telling you your characterization of my posts are wrong and to review it. This is deeply ironic.

Don't really have one, no issues to me and I'm not familiar with Syr at all so it's not really a priority.

I mean if you're town it's fine, it's not like you have to refute every opinion of your posts that I hold to succeed.

Assuming I'm one of "you both", mid-dance.

You know that.

Yeah it was to bork and prism. Ffery can do her own thang.

So this is the reply to my vote:

In post 239, borkjerfkin wrote:Come on, this game isn't exactly filled w/ shlubs and I don't feel like they've been dominating the game in any real perceivable capacity that it's too dangerous to write them all off
in any event it's a really weird reason to vote me for asking about

This is the one where I think you characterized my point way too strongly for me to be comfortable with.

I think extending my point that townreading three active, strong posters is very bold as scum. "Dominating" is a lot stronger of a word-I'm not saying they're page 5 Paragons-and I don't think this requires writing them off entirely. From a scum perspective, it means restricting your own freedom in how you interact with them immediately right off the bat, and allows their words to carry more weight. This does not mean resigning yourself to those townreads permanently permanently.

I mean I think bork's reaction has been awful. I don't have meta on him but he really stretched my point further to try and discredit it and seems to think that he has to actually prove me wrong rather than let an opinion sit.
