wasn't my intent here. I'm going to take a break from this interaction.
@cabd: I didn't like Syr's opening (I didn't really read it as shitposting), it looked to me like an attempt to throw ffery off balance by initiating their "dance" in an aggressive way when nothing had really warranted that.
I haven't pursued it again because of the shitposting comment but since then he's pretty much not done anything

In post 232, Syryana wrote:Our last two games are the only games I've played in years though? Watching you and Cabd interact is far more telling than anything I could say or ask. That's how I read you in smoke. So what's the problem here, exactly?
What have you gotten from our interaction?
It's an ongoing process. I like how you're treating him with more suspicion than you did in Smoke and I can see a pretty clear trajectory on your read of him from squinty-eyed suspicion to a cautious townlean. Am I wrong?
Pedit: Bork, if you think I haven't done anything and moved on from shitposting since then, you're not reading closely enough.

fwiw it didn't come off as aggressive to me.

Directionally? I wanted an early interaction that would have made him solidly town to me early-early.

If it means you were looking for an interaction between you and Cabd that made him solidly town to you, did you get one? It doesn't look to me like you did.

From the outside me sorting Cabd must look a lot more prickly than I feel about it internally.
Cabd didn't simply avoid the kind of back and forth I wanted. He acknowledged what I was looking for and said straight up he's not playing this game in that vein.
I don't really want to discuss how I'm interpreting all this right now, if ever!

Oh, I think I see now. You're sort of leaning town on him because he acknowledged that you're not going to get the Smoke-level crumbing/interactions again, right?
Do you really think that's AI in his case?

bork has definitly improved in my eyes since then
I read the vax and DGB bits and somehow missed the middle line about bork.
I don't know that I agree with him improving though. I'm not particularly happy with his statement that I'm doing nothing at this point. Not even counting my in-progress dance with ffery, there are some nuggets in my chats with my Pizza partner.

I didn't expect anything like smokefilled crumbing here. As far as AI goes, it's more about what's useful for scum-Cabd than whether a particular behavior is AI.

I suspect we're getting into territory that you don't want to discuss, but fuck it. What was it you were looking for? Barring an answer to that, did you get enough of what you were looking for to no longer be prickly about him?

I'm extending him a little heavily footnoted trust.
