Surface-level whatever I can see how you'd see that.

I didn't read your whole ISO buddy, just saw what you were doing on the page and responded to it. 3 townreads, 30 townreads, ain't much difference to me when its surface level buddying.

Bell's response really doesn't make me feel any better about them, but I'm not really sure what else we'd get out of it.

i have seen it said offsite that listing names in the "w, x, y, or maybe z" is scummy, though. don't have enough experience to go "yeah this is scum" but i'm raising an eyebrow at the format here (does remind me of a Titus-Saber post though)

(could care less that i'm one of the names here and would probably like him on the merit of

who

he's naming, just the

way

he's doing it pings)

Oh, and Tammy should get some of the pressure pie. Kinda forgot about that read, but there isn't much to make me feel any better.

what makes a person deserving of pressure, in your opinion?:

First, if they're relatively simple to read, or at least if I'm confident reading them, I will put pressure on them (or try to prod people to do so), but I won't say that aloud. That causes their behavior to shift.
But in the case of Syr and Tammy, both of these are because they are people who have, for one reason or another, not trulymade enough content to get a solid read out of. While I have soft-reads on both of them, there isn't enough of a base to get a strong read that I"m confident in. And this varies from person to person. Yes, both of them have a fair bit of posts (more than me), but the amount of posts I need to get a solid read on someone varies wildly. Folks like Titus and Firebringer I can get reads on that are rarely wrong after 20 posts. Folks like Wisdom? Dayum I'm lucky to get a solid read after 200. (and yes, these are all not in this game, but I'm deliberate about using people not in this game, lest I be wrong and eat my words)

People like it when people like their posts.

That's the whole point of a "like" button

which btw is one of the most damaging inventions of modern human history. just imagine how much time was wasting by the collective mass of humanity over the last 10 years clicking meaningless likes to give each other little dopamine hits. It's like collective mass addiction.

I have not dug into DS's case but I think his point that Cabd is looking for approval and validation holds water. What would you call weird narrative building?

But why does it make a scum Nahdia? That's a pretty faulty bit of logic imo.

I'd vote him but MWB still hasn't apologized for causing the death of poor Eliza yet.

But I regularly write paragraphs because that's what I need to get my point across. Not everyone shitposts their way to LyLo. Some of us play the game and speak eloquently.

Same kinda thing, yeah.

I don't think Cabd was looking for approval or validation, certainly not from me, and I don't think he would regardless of his alignment. What I think was going on was him trying to drag me into the game. If he's town perhaps he wanted to see where my head was at and get a read on me. If he's scum he wanted to see where my head was at or look like he was trying to get a read on me.

The weird narrative building is the whole reasoning he came up with for why cabd was doing what he was doing while painting it in the worst possible light. I don't necessarily think it's coming from scum; it's entirely possible that it's a style of scumhunting that I neither agree with or understand really, nor am I confident in its accuracy. But I don't think it's unproductive to try to get him to dig a bit deeper in order to get a better read there.

Where do you see Cabd looking for approval and validation?
