are you sure about that
No, because your read on Mena isn't relevant.

It's too colloquial in my book. Just empty shade, with nothing backing it up. As is the red above.

1. I don't like how you over-egg things with emotive language like "really" all the time, to try and bolster your weak positions. In reality it just makes it look like you are tailspinning out of control.
2. I don't like how you have singled me (and only me?) out twice, with very little justification, for 2 unrelated, random and not particularly credible things. The second is worse, and feels a little like scum just trying to buy consistency points by targetting the same player, but being fundamentally too lazy to come up with anything robust.
3. I don't like that in red above, you initially acknowledged you hadn't played with me, and had no idea what my normal play is. Then in blue above, you pretend you do know how I play to strengthen your argument.
I'm amused that you didn't just lap up my defence of you, as it's consistent with my hypothesis - you are trying to keep targetting me to avoid attention - it wouldn't do to simply agree with me, even if you actually did, you had to spin in a way which made it sound like I was wrong (which in isolation, actually makes you look worse anyway).
UNVOTE:
VOTE: Golden Paradox
I got one, ma.i won't lap up your buddying attempts. sorry bout it.
A wonderful insight into your own play. NAI for me I'm afraid. I am capable of moving my vote frequently as town and scum. In the battleground of FORUM MAFIA, my vote is my sword. I'm not sure what you're hoping to achieve with the above though? Didn't you already make your mind up I was definitely scum? It's a bit late to pretend to sort me now.In post 613, Noraa wrote:mmmm so I'm not too sure what I'm thinking about this game atm however I have a few things I dont like so far
BM changes votes far too often. I think this is scummy bc scums will flip flop a shit ton since what's going thru their mind is gonna be something like : "hmm good limbait here. ooo better limbait here. oh maybe the first limbait was better etc etc"
Not too sure if that's correct but uh ... that's how I am when I'm scum so yeah.
hot take, you're right, Golden dude is scum.In post 613, Noraa wrote: Golden dude gives me some scumvibes bc of him changing his vote and moving it off of me and onto BM. It reads really scummy considering he somehow just overlooked the fact that I'm noob as hell but then realized it reading it again? Idk something's fishy over there.
post 563 was presumably in response to you shading Ico. Otherwise none of this conversation makes any sense. I don't think either of us necessarily care enough to look back.In post 612, Menalque wrote:I literally don’t understand this postIn post 610, Battle Mage wrote:it would have been, if that's what had happened.

Like that is what happened no? That I didn’t end up shading icon for it and TR him instead? Or TL’d or whatever
Nah, I don't consider that "getting Mena into this". My point was that you shaded me and shellyc(?) for doing something we hadn't done, but which menalque had done. It isn't me trying to get him into anything - it's making the point that your argument was not valid or, on the face of it, consistent (notwithstanding your relationship with mena, which i acknowledge).In post 611, Datisi wrote:except you were the one trying to get mena into this? like "if you think risking outting PRs is scummy, look at mena"? i'm saying why i'm giving him a "pass" while not the othersIn post 605, Battle Mage wrote:No, because your read on Mena isn't relevant.

if your argument as a whole is "risking outting PRs isn't scummy period" (which i guess it is) then i guess agree to disagree?
Wtf.

Which means: Dox, Taylor, Piis and Iama.
I think you know I like Dox for the blox.

Saying "hot take, you're right, Golden dude is scum" is not in the least bit helpful. I couldn't care less whether or not scum!BM agrees with me.
