a townblock is a group of townreads that mutually townread each other - it's a method for POEing a game down based on expansion of a core group of mutually agreed townreads.

What monkey is saying is that Datisi is scum for not creating a townblock or starting to create a townblock.

But he's also stated today that he thinks people don't have enough alignment indicative material this early in the game to create reads and that he doesn't really have reads himself.

so this is an obvious contradiction in that he expects Datisi to be creating a townblock while he himself claims he doesn't have townreads nor that enough AI material has gone on for people to create townreads.

His playstyle being what, Monkey?
Nordom, are you speaking to your crossbows?
Negatory.
Oh, that's a relief. I thought that-
I am not speaking to them, I am listening to them. They were submitting queries as to when they will get to shoot something.

Why are you pretending to be confused by my actions now?

In fact if your world view is that Ari!scum is trying to misyeet me - my actions on this page should make perfect sense to you no?

If you believe Ari/Datisi are scum together this would be a textbook example of chainsaw defense no?

Instead you're confused about what I'm doing?
yes, because you are also trying to pretend that you're town publicly.

You are imposing a standard that by your own admission is absurd upon Datisi and using it to push him.
I assume Datisi is able to create a townblock because that's how i remember his playstyle in early games.
We are 24 hours into the game.

Datisi has been in class for 10 hours and slept for maybe 6 or 7 hours.

Your expectations are ridiculous and directly contradict what you previously said about there not being enough alignment indicative material to create townreads this early.

the process to get to those townreads will be obvious, he doesn't need to generate one.

Trust me, I understand what a "town-block" is. I'm asking for a quoted reply from monkey that says that he said something like that.

I am talking about your point of view.

You have stated on page 30 that you are convinced I am mafia trying to murder you.

You then state on page 31 that you are confused about what I am doing.

This is a perspective slip - you forgot you have me at hard scumread because your scumread of me is fake.

my impression of his process so far is that he has been focused on nitpicking others' posts to see if they're being consistent. i remember that he focuses on creating trust first.

Aight, so, when I read back on your comment before about "He doesn't have any town-reads" and then you linked with that the town-block stuff, I don't really see that as scum indicative.

Aristeia wrote:But he's also stated today that he thinks people don't have enough alignment indicative material this early in the game to create reads and that he doesn't really have reads himself.

I think he's just being honest here. The way he's been playing with this "car-crash attitude" doesn't really seem like scum. The only reason I say this because I pulled similar shit in previous games as town. It's not as effective as "calculated" responses, but it's easy to get a town-tell read from, which I do at this point.
Nordom, are you speaking to your crossbows?
Negatory.
Oh, that's a relief. I thought that-

This person chose to pick a fight with me because they perceived me as a weak player they could win an argument against, but their attack did not make sense. Furthermore, in the bottom of 266, they treat me like they know I am town.

I don't like the way Datisi focused on nitpicking rather than the substance of Nero Cain's argument.

False

both players look good off of that post.

Fire doesn't see it as a sort of joke read as I initially did.

Frogs somehow justifies this read GeneralWu as like "Huh do you mind elaborating why maf have more motivation to make friends than town?" which feels like such a stretch that it just wounds up being a towny stretch.

What I mean by "calculated" is, in this context, being well-thought out and with precision. Precision to attack points with counter-arguments clearly and concisely.

i skimmed, and i was planning to just respond to things that were about me, but then i realized a *lot* of the things are about me. so i'll get to this when i'm back home today.
I will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again. You can come back and be like, “I dreamt that Locke is a N2 Bulletproof Multitasking Cop and Self-Targeting Doctor,” and I will go, “Okay, Locke kill it is then.”
