Weeeeeeeelll......
Umm...just need to say, I said "obvtown", not some other word you
may
be thinking about, AP.
Well, you frustrate ME to no end, so it's about time for some revenge......
(But in all seriousness, I'm progressively going to be less frustrating this game.)

Oi!
This is MY scum tactic! Don't go stealing it, Sven!
(Read that post. Imagine it being written by me. Try figuring out my alignment from it. It theoretically could come from a town-me, but is basically a signature scum move of mine.)
(Page 33 = Sven and sekai are scum together, by the way.)
Well, I'm already undead, so, wish granted.
My gut-reaction-read? Yes.
how in any way was this post intended to tell him to step it up, or reaching out to him to fix said read?
Admittedly, was probably not worded as well as it needed to be, because it was emotionally charged and frustrated.
this also makes it so you don't actually have to respond to anything he's saying which allows you to just sit there and avoid having to take heat for doing anything
Except I responded to everything?
except this means fuck all bc he came up with this AFTER he found out I didn't like it. it seems like an excuse he just made up so he could justify it to me later
If you're scum (you are), congratulations, pie. You're playing to your wincon spectacularly, because you're ticking me off. Severely. I told you not to be doubtful of your abilities. But IF (BIG FREAKIN'
IF
) you were town, you've way. WAY. Overshot it. Into arrogance. If you think. seriously, legitimately. think. That I made that up. in specific response to you. That you think it was an excuse. That you think I was lying. That you think I was giving you so much as a second of thought when typing that. There was none. NONE. And you damn-well know it.
Side-note. But I'm really freakin' sick of people reading me from one or two games of one alignment and assuming that's a trend across all of my games as that alignment. If you read the ACTUAL game rather than reading the game through the lens of previous games, my alignment becomes clear every single time. People make the mistake of townreading me when I'm scum and manipulating my meta. (AP's right. I am fully self-aware of my own trends as both alignments and capable of utterly destroying and/or reversing them.) People frustratingly scumread me when I'm town because I happen to be doing something that resembles one game vaguely in some manner that never crossed my mind--or did, but I said "screw it" and went with it anyway.
I wrote all kinds of guides on it, and all of them say the same dang thing: that's how to meta not just me, but any player, WRONG. Meta's a means to an end. To understand the players. But if you arbitrarily assign alignments to a player off of their past games, you're not reading the current game. You're reading the past games and superimposing them on top of the current game, biasing your read. Read the current game, the current players, the current mindset, the current posting, and use meta only as a means of having some sort of baseline for that mindset.

The only possible scum name I see on Sven is Dan. All others are town. In constrast, the Apla wagon has both GiF and sekai on it. It is scum-driven.
