can you give an earnest reply to the points I raised in ? Namely:
- LLD saying her confidence was an exaggeration as a "test" yet then somehow not liking my reaction in stating that she had no reason to be so confident that it wasn't a town post,
- LLD saying my subsequent posts were "flailing",
- LLD's dislike of the post somehow only amounting to "GL didn't explain his consensus-y reads" - reads which I actually ~have~ explained in greater detail in other posts in my ISO, some before any consensus was formed!, instead ignoring those posts to zoom in on one particular hipfire snapshot reads post I gave in response to Datisi explicitly asking for one.

You really don't see any issues with any of that? I'm kinda tilted seeing LLD get towncred for these pushes
Pushing with exaggerated confidence as a test is entirely within her wheelhouse as town, and I feel like you're being a tad reductive in how you're summarizing it? I don't think you asserting that you'd write that post as town somehow invalidates her "so-so scumread" becoming stronger based on you writing that - I can absolutely see someone not liking the way you responded.

Using exaggerated language isn't significantly AI either (I know psyche had some MD post that scum were slightly more likely to accuse people of flailing but this was eons ago in site meta and flailing isn't even that common in the lexicon anymore)

I also feel like your issue of her summary of her reads is reductive?

IDK. I'm still chewing things over.

Potentially exposed to the new variant at work.

Marking myself vla for a bit, apologies but I'm gonna be a psychosomatic nervous wreck even though I'm pretty sure the positive coworker was negative last week when we had overlap with in office time.

More tonight.

Sure. You are currently wasting an IC slot by not being more aggressive in your stances and reads. You are confirmed town, throw nicety out the window and really just go for it. Abuse your station.
Is it wise to really take the IC word as law though?
Taking your word as law is not the same thing as exercising your control to lead town.

I am gonna get slammed for being arrogant for this but go read mountain dew mafia where I rolled IC and played a specific way. It won that game single handedly, because of the environment it created.

Be a little more confident and lean into it
huh I appreciate you actually coaching me here

I think you're town and think I people want to doubtcast your alignment due to BoPing your scumgame they should state what you'd scum motive is

And no I no longer believe that you pushing me to pair with someone is a scum agenda and people should be more active in asserting who they think I should pair with

wait I don't understand why this at all, so you can personally try to sort them?

if I'm leaving behind I want the scummiest gentleman paired with the scummiest lady (Cabd) and I want that pair limmed immediately so people can see whether I was right. and then if Cabd flips scum I want everyone to remember LLD pushing for me to go home instead and trying to advocate for Cabd to be Taly's partner, of all people

GL, Cat, and Andante rank low on my reads at the moment.

I also forgot Marci, lily, and Mala were in this game

i disagree with this. i think the way LLD handled this and admitted was being aggressive was going to ellicit responses that are gonna go something like that i wouldn't say is actually conclusive to an alignment.

its kind of like bad police interrogations
I also want this post framed and hung very prominently on the halls of this dance party

@catboi u said i dont know earlier in response to my weak reasoning on why i think u could be scum here. do u not think u have a large scum range? I remember seeing u replaced into a scum game and u did fairly well (i think u died cause u couldn't salvage the slot but if u were in at beginning i thought ohh catboi could have nailed this game) wish i could remember the game from my memory >.>
No I do have a wide scumrange, it's funny for other reasons. Don't worry about it.

You're probably thinking of Hectic vs. FL, where I was in from the start as scum, managed to fool most people into thinking I was town, but FL had an unassailable scumread on me and there was a million mechanical claims from people that people were getting towncleared for. When the clear town in a stump game is correctly tunneling you you can't really do jack shit about it.

But also, my posts were
way
worse than they are here and I resorted to talking about anime just to derail that game

i expect more pairings soon we actually have a lot of people with alot of opinions at this stage which is a crazy to me. Feels like we are way ahead of where we would be, maybe i haven't been shitposting enough.

Lots of gents here too shy to send out offers of dances tho.

well the idea was that i play the hero and instaleave if you flip green, but thinking about it i might be more useful alive. because i do have an ability to scream until i'm listened to. so maybe not.

mmm I axiomatically disagree with this but probably not worth litigating

scum use embellishment to sell reads they know don't hold up to logical scrutiny. Exaggerating the number of posts I made, ESPECIALLY when 90% of those posts were sorting/talking elsewhere, is not a genuine thought for why I might be scum. It's entirely designed to try to tilt me and to try to make me look worse to others. She might do that as town, but it sure as hell isn't pro-town behavior.

and it masks the fact that LLD's case on me is absent any substantive point against me. Especially considering we're in, y'know, D1 with no information.

Does she think scum!GL is incapable of giving reasons for his "reads"? Does she think scum!GL is inherently "reactive" in a way town!GL is not? Does she think scum!GL is too scared to give reads that go against consensus? Which of my reads does she think town!GL wouldn't or couldn't have?

A lot of people identified that is a post I could write as either alignment, including LLD herself! So what's the reason she's more confident about me being scum than any other player here then?

Game has a lot more serious nose to the grindstone tryhard type players than past dance games, from what I've skimmed of them.

For me personally, I've been slow to pair in the recent anonymous minis, but also a significant portion of the ladies are either people I don't have a read on or people I'd have trouble working with

it does feel like all the townier people are in the Gentlemen pool

like I was trying to think of who I'd want Datisi to propose to if not me, and assuming Prism is paired with Taly or Prism/Datisi don't wanna pair for wildly different PT play styles, it's probably like... Ydrasse? or Alyssa? which is kinda lol

I'd consider it but I wouldn't accept immediately
Alyssa, would you dance with me?
