yes. good rule of thumb is to never townread skitter D1 (sorry skitter)

OK. Got it.

and fwiw i don't think you're posturing (like as either alignment you could have forgotten/not realized that those weren't players), so i think asking what your motivation inherently is a bit faulty as a question, because i don't think you did it purposefully

This is good context actually, thanks. I was confused about why everyone was accepting skitter's read on you when like, skitter might not be town?

Can you give some more context for this, if you haven't yet?

it seems like auro is implying I did it deliberately?

i think i was the ic in yyotta's newbie game >.>
this is going back to when we still had ic's

i'm p sure she was mis-flip-y day1 and i spent most of day1 arguing that she was town flipbait, she got voted out anyways, and then i was under pressure for white-knighting her afterwards

fun times

still kinda think she's townie here

~ skitter

pedit i was wrong on lilith like my first time seeing her scumgame but other than that i'm p spot on
the last time we played (the last iteration of pyp x|y) i had an accurate read off of like her first three posts and proceeded to spend the rest of the game trying to get her flipped, which nobody listened to; the slot either endgamed or was voted out like day5 or something i dont' remember, i was dead at that point

either way i was very, very, very confident on it and was right

You probably read a newbie game. A lot pf the games that I've played are in the Everybody Edits Forums.

like general stuff on that page I was reading about Skitter/Lilith that I learned I didn't have context for. There wasn't really anything good to quote for it

I don’t really want to get into irl stuff but like - this morning was really NOT a good time for me, I don’t think I came across that snippy but can see how it came across like that given my mood, I’m fine with reactions like gc’s/shadow’s that are like “y so srs” but auro specifically called it posturing and won’t explain why he thinks so.

I think it's suspicious to call other people suspicious at the start of D1.

Because like I said, my brain failed to process this game thoroughly.

That's the only thing that makes sense from a cat-scum POV. I don't think an otherwise context-less "let me do some just outright bad stuff so people might go 'too scummy to be scum'" is really a valid strategy. And I don't think that cat's play is indicates a noob level approach to the game where they are just falling into these bad plays.

oh maybe he did
idk that's not how i read it

Do you think shadow is bomb in particular? Or are you speaking generally?

Yeah, I think the obvious candidates for cat-scum doing a weird strategy to draw attention to herself and away from the bomb is either shadow or me, just in terms of votes and who has garnered attention.

Can't think of anyone else who would fit the bill, but maybe infinity?

- Daenerys

remember that time we were partners and he was town and totally caught both of us and it was really awkward until we murderized him?

fun times!

~ skitter

and yes I'm very well aware of confirmation bias and so I'm hesitant about this theory on cat's play that hinges on an unflipped shadow

I mean, she's likely forced to read lilith correctly anyway if scum, because it looks sus if she misreads her. Them being scum together is unlikely by stats, and I get the sense that lilith is relatively easy to read in general. Which is why it's odd that I seem to disagree with skitter on lilith's alignment atm. Like, being prickly/antagonistic about an SR on you and channeling that energy into aggressively questioning the person who SRs you is strongly indicative of towny OMGUS imo.

I don't have a read on yyotta atm

really wish I could talk about [redacted]!!!!!!!!!!


auro just feels like he’s trying to play around me and evade and dodge. I legit don’t understand what he was trying to achieve with that comment, unless it’s to make me look bad. then when I asked him to elaborate, he answered my questions with vagueries and questions. still no response on why he made the comment about posturing in the first place.

not really much more to say here without auro, I think.

what is this [redacted] business
