Okay, I did my dive. I'll do everybody the benefit of skipping shitposts in the beginning. I was gonna itemize the ISO, but it's short -- 30 posts or so -- so anybody who wants to see what I'm talking about can surely go back and see it for themselves.
The summary is this. What I see from Marci is a pattern of shitposting, bragging about carrying the game, and countering basically all pressure with some variation of "how could anybody possibly scumread me". Weirdly, while she's boasting about carrying the game and nailing scum in some posts, in others she expresses very low confidence in her reads.
There are contradictions, too. She links some of her scumgames in 249 as evidence how her play here is different, I guess, but in 408 expresses frustration at being read by meta.
She doesn't give any substantive reads until 448, but even these are loaded with the same bizarre tone that has struck me for the entire game. She finally starts asking a few questions and making some appearance of scumhunting in the late 500s, after T3 is dead and I'm tunneled in on her.
So I'll echo the point recently made by Hockey (which Hockey doesn't like, but that's an issue for another time) to say her ISO is mostly devoid of content. She'll protest, of course, but read her ISO for yourself. What's left is her tone, and here's what I have on that front:
Marci and I just played a scum game where she sounded entirely different than she does now.
Different? Pav, shouldn't that mean you're townreading her compared to that game?
I'd say yes, but she sounds different from that game to the degree she sounds almost like an *entirely different person*. It feels to me like a wicked overcorrection.
I fully own that I could be wrong, though, and if anybody is particularly townreading her, I'd be curious to hear the alternate perspective.
This is the part where I declare a moratorium on myself posting about Marci for at least a RL day, or until she flips.
