Datisi -- I'd be interested to hear if you have any Shoshin or ABR takes.

More generally, I don't think unwnd comes out the "winner" in this back and forth with gamma. I'm not certain I find it scummy exactly. Unwnd could be town here who just has very strong viewpoints on how the game should be played. But gamma's explanation feels fairly town to me and unwnd kept pushing like there was something there.

i don't disagree with you. do you believe in tstbs? that is the feeling i get when reading a lot fo their posts for some reason...

gimme a second.

[Noraa]

Yes

The game is boring at the surface level for me, I'm not interested in what people type most of the time. I think it's all very easy to fake, therefore I look for tells that aren't explicit such as someone's timing or their delivery. I think scum are more likely to process their posts and even use rhetoric to give off a certain vibe, while townies are shamefully honest and full of mistakes. When it comes to you midway, my issue with reading you is that you seem afraid of mistakes. You'd rather comfortably sideline and say things like 'people are too quick to give reads' but I think that's both unhelpful and lazy. I stand by what I said earlier: Post whatever you want as long as it doesn't start to become hyperposting. You seem very afraid of being judged for a wrong read and I'm not sure if it's because you think you should really really think about them when there's about 283 posts (e.g You don't understand the concept of D1), or you're nervous for scum reasons; Right now I lean the latter.

Midway's not a newbie, no?

[Noraa]

could you not also describe shoshin as fencesitting in the quoted post, tbqh?

did you even read the post?

shoshin is currently somewhat +town over random chance. it's because of nothing specific, but the way she's giving out reads without properly explaining any of them makes me think she's more interested in having thoughts about the game than presenting those thoughts in a way that would earn her townpoints.

do you have history with her?

as for albert, he's currently dead null to me. probably due to not having any direct interactions with him. i'll get back to you once that gets fixed.

do you have history with her?

No, which isn't helpful. The questions coming from her feel a little thin, but it is early.

hello do you have thoughts about me

hrm, i asked because 200 feels... weirdly out of place if you don't have meta? oh well.

i dunno. is "just-too-lazy-to-be-scum" a thing? that's my read there right now.

going back to that post, i see in response you had townpings on midway? tl;dr on that?

No. My scanner hasn't picked anything up.

Strongly disagree.

Yeah, it seemed like a weird thing to say unless maybe she is sussing me? Idk.

He has been pretty eager to engage with people and put his opinions out there, even if they aren't strong ones yet.

considering how long it took you to respond to this, i was expecting a 5-page essay on why i'm caught scum and should get executed immedately.

figured.

is it just her townread of noraa that you think is fake that you find scum!indicative?

[Noraa]

why is 200 weird?

[Datisi]

why is 200 weird?

because neither shoshin nor baltar were talking with/about each other and all of a sudden she asked him for his reads? it felt as if there was some history between the two - either on-thread or out-of-thread, and there wasn't any in-thread - that's why i asked.

i can vibe with this, i guess. midway is one of my "my brain and gut are telling me different things" reads. i suppose a provisional townlean won't hurt.

I think ur overthinking tho I do kinda see where that comes from. I'm gonna go meta dive Shoshin rq cuz I know they have a habit of doing exactly this. I'll go find some specific posts/games to support this in just a sec.

[VP Baltar]

Can I get a link to a recent scum game of yours Datisi?

[Noraa]

nvm shoshin hasn't played much recently. but anyways, I do think shoshin does this as either alignment.

Based upon what...

Yes. Scum don't scumhunt so they just say x thinks my townread is scum so I scumread x.

/shrug. you noticed i didn't scumread hear for it? i just thought it sounded awkward/out of place.

[midwaybear]

Post whatever you want as long as it doesn't start to become hyperposting.

That's basically what I've been doing...
