ok
spell it out like i'm 5 because i'm obviously not getting it:
a) articulate what the phrase 'demandign scumpt screenshot levels of evidence' is being applied to.
tell me in your own words where and how i'm doing that,
don't just quote vork
b) what point do you think i'm ignoring?
Where, how, who doing what, when, why, whatever, etc is irrelevant to my point.
The point is that you know what the words: "demanding scupt pt levels of evidence" mean. It means demanding concrete proof. You have been repeatedly told what it means. You do know what it means.. And yet for some weird reason, me trying to get you to admit that you understand basic english, you act like I'm trying to pull out your teeth or something. WHY?

I don't know how I can be any more clear than that.

Yes, but it's the point i've been trying to make this whole time
Of course i know what the literal words mean, it would be ridiculous for either you or me to suggest that i dont
I'm saying it's a meaningless phrase in context. No one, including yourself, can explain the context apparently
It is not, and never was, my point that i dont understand what the words literally mean, and this is a really ridiculous strawman for you to hang your hat on
Maybe i didnt make myseld clear, but when i said: 'i dont know what this phrase means' i meant 'this phrase is meaningless and doesnt actually make sense in the context vork is using it'
Like do you really think i dont know what the english phrase means ... ?
The fact that this is your argument is quite disturbing tbh

Tomorrow plz:
- vork
- focus on ddl, i think it's scummy of him to be so quiet rn and not take a stance
- zenthi because he's strawmanning to the point that i think he's deliberately misunderstanding me

i'm nervous i've misread vork
Ddl i'm feeling wary of your play for reasons i cant fully talk about rn
Zenith's argument with me here .... is not a good look
It doesn't entirely make sense to go from 'skitter is good so i'll loltown her because otherwise there isn't a good way to read her' to 'skitter is scummy for trying to push an argument that she doesnt literally know what an english phrase means'
I'm not sure this progression makes much sense. Steadfastly believing that the explanation for what i was trying to say is that i dont literally understand what an English phrase means is kinda silly, especially in the context that he was willing to believe that i'm halfway decent at this
I'd like to think all scum are in here
But i also feel like i'm playing some twilight zone edition of this game where 4 other people read word salad and go: huh that makes sense
Which makes me lowkey wary of january and tictac as well, slightly wary that they're just taking advantage of a good bandwagon to ride a mislynch
Please note the lack of cw and the fact that every active player is cool with this, this quite often signals a mislynch (which is why i'm wary of tictac/january, they fit the profile of scum taking advantage of this)
(inb4: shading whole wagon on myself
these are my thoughts on how the wagon is going down for whichever of you is town tomorrow , ty)
I'd like to think, like i said, that all scum are in ddl/vork/zenith tho

like, I cant even take a stance because i haven't waded through your exchange with vork seriously.
Fair enough, i hope you feel better soon, plz take care of yourself

I think this would be more what I'm looking for. Ya always informed about your own align so can't really compare attitudes w ya defending Jam there.
I don't at all doubt that ya do in fact have moral views that affect yer play.
I'm specifically looking for that tone we spoke of from yer townself.
Sorry if I was unclear earlier.
Other than that, I think I'll wait for a doc-cathup before proceeding.

I'm not sure if i can think of any examples offhand beyond what i've linked already

ok. figured it would be an easy fix if I'm wrong about ya, is all.
let's see what doc says.

Tictac, can you quote some posts in this game where you think i exhibited that tone?
UNVOTE:
1. I don't think I can strawman my own point.
2. I never believed you didn't understand the phrase.
3. I wasn't the only one who misunderstood/took your words at face value.

Is anyone else curious about what was said in the mason pt? I doubt there would be anything useful for solving the game there, but maybe?
