my energy/motivation is kinda dwindling, and 'trying' and 'efforting' and 'making other things happen' would require more energy than i have today given what it would take to divert off of the current course
at some point only so much i can do
i'm so fucking over you whining about the course of how things are going while pretending you are not a conscious actor in this game who is avoiding any attempt at exerting meaningful influence. like the gamestate is not a product of the impression (or lack thereof) you have chosen to make on it.
when you bothered to actually lay out a case and make points against annie edison it was like, okay, good, that makes sense, i can see where you're coming from, but otherwise, we get stuff like this:

i don't remember his play super well there, it's been a while.
but i know that i'm susceptible to townreading scum!him and i'm realizing that the reasons i had for townreading him earlier are not super strong
in what way do you think he's been different

(i'm p sure i'm already voting, but for like emphasis)
but like, you keep playing like this and then complaining about how no one listens to you
like what the fuck do you expect, honestly? do you think this weak bullshit is supposed to accomplish something? were you expecting firebringer to
react
in some way to such a timid, limp-wristed approach? because obviously he's going to feel nothing from this. is it going to convince anyone of anything? hell no!
and the thing is i don't think it's
necessarily scummy
, it's just
annoying
and
totally ineffectual
. what it comes across as, more than anything, is being
afraid
to take any action so you're just letting everyone else steer shit for you, and then if it goes wrong, you can complain "not my fault, no one listened to me" like you were totally helpless but of course you weren't. you just didn't want to be assertive.
and if anything, i would think this weakness is more likely town. i could see scum pulling this cassandra routine as town cannibalizes itself, but i think that sort of demeanor is more often coming from town, who is acting from an uninformed perspective and the nervousness and uncertainty leads to indecision where you feel like we're headed in the wrong direction but don't really know what the right direction is, so ultimately all you end up doing is idly complaining. because trying to do something else is scary and you could end up being wrong, but if you just let things happen,
hey, at least it's not your fault, right?
like your whole posturing around turnstiling s_s, i kind of doubt scum preens about staying off the turnstile vote while thinking it's likely to flip town anyway. it looks to me like you think he's flipping town but you're scared of being wrong about him again and so you're totally wishy-washy about it. i'd expect scum to just have a more concrete stance. the paralysis and indecision is probably townie.
but god damn i'm sick of it regardless. things unfold the way they do as a consequence of how you choose to act.
