Like I'm sort of confused considering you had that bit earlier in the game about how you were asking people questions in order to understand their motivations + POV
and then a replacement comes in, asks you a question, and then you sort of snarkily respond with a "oh durrrr i thought you were scumreading me huh? HUH?"
isn't that kind of weird?We are lazy people on an adventure, flirting with life but too shy to go all the way.-

It was an invitation for you to justify your stance.
You dodged doing so.
Want to try again or explain the dodge some more?
my stance?
i mean my stance right now is sort of i'm sheeping my predecessor in my initial reads list and i'm asking questions to refine it
can i help with anything elseWe are lazy people on an adventure, flirting with life but too shy to go all the way.-

speaking of BBTs signature varsoon didn't enter the game as crazy-balls-to-the-walls as i'd expect of town varsoon, which is kinda scummy
there's also something to his tone which i'm kind of feeling but finding it hard to articulate
when i played with him in the past i think he sounded much more excited
but maybe that's only because previously we only played together in games where we knew a lot of the playerlist so everyone was friends
i find it HIGHLY interesting he didn't call out/establish banter with xiao longWe are lazy people on an adventure, flirting with life but too shy to go all the way.-

i dunno
i feel like thor and i share a lot of the same gameplay beliefs cos a lot of his quotes on gameplay click with me.
like "Because I think you are hard to read and otherwise stand a normal chance to be scum so are an excellent Day 1 lynch." is something i'm pretty sure i've said and so is the unvote on replacement which might make me lean-town but i suspect (and hopefully thor will save me from this meta-dive) it's just something he does on policy
which is why something that's nagging at me is his line of questioning
at least when i see a replacement come in and sheep his predecessor, MY first thought would not be to question the replacement on why he's sheeping his predecessor. i think this would be obvious for a few reasons
-theoretically correct on sheeping conftown
-establishes a stance which starts conversation
yeah it's great thor knows at least the first point and maybe the second. but it's bizzare that he would choose to make a post like the fist half of 283 i mean what exactly are you hoping to learn?
it feels like thor isn't actually interested in finding out my alliance / getting a replacement caught up to game rather than just dissuading me from his wagon
and then there's that thing where he accused me of dodging a question he never asked
meanwhile deadline is in 7 days which i don't intend on using fully but it's nice to have the option of time available. while i might come back to a randomidget vote if i don't end up voting for thor but i think there's merit in going for the head before the ass and randomidget is an ass and i have no idea where that wagon is supposed to lead so i think we should like not do that just yetWe are lazy people on an adventure, flirting with life but too shy to go all the way.-

you know what's really ironic
BBTs argument for thorscum is basically a meta argument since it relies on the meta of "thor policy lynches BBT" (which isn't a correct meta but ok whatever that's how he perceives it)

a continuation of an ongoing discussion are posts that i expect to be answered and if "dodging" is the buzzord of the day i'd suggest your reluctance to continue that discussion barring a direct callout is dodging on your part
in any case i called my predecessor's posts "good" because it looked like a solid case. i didn't look into the specifics because i didn't need to, i'm not looking for a case to push, i'm looking for stances to start off and that i can use as my own as i work my way into the gameWe are lazy people on an adventure, flirting with life but too shy to go all the way.-

i think the push on randommidget is poor on everyone's part because it's a boring target 3 days into the game and seems slightly defensive on your part because the thing you're attacking about him is that he liked allyra's case on you
the choice of randomidget over say goblin, drake crusader, zebulin or gamsimbre also seems very arbitrary.We are lazy people on an adventure, flirting with life but too shy to go all the way.-

i mean the issue i have with you right now are a few
1. unproductive and disingenuous lines of questioning that seems solely geared to get me to unvote when i first replaced in
2. reluctance to engage in conversation
3. i guess the fact that your two scumreads right now are two of the people scumreading you is an added bonus
4. there's a certain amount of cognitive dissonance in your posts. i mean you chide me for talking semantics when it really wasn't semantics, it was you either misphrasing your question or you just trying to deliberately misrep me as "dodging" things. and then the tipping point for my slot being scum again is this idea that i somehow treated my replacement's case strangely, when i've made it perfectly clear how i deal with predecessors cases replacing in and your evidence for the countercase is that i called all's case "good", which again is semantics. there's also this willingness to brand what i do as scummy especially when i think objectively you should not be scumreading me right now. the attack on me dodging question is highly highly questionable. i made it clear the first time that you alleged i dodged a question that i didn't think that's the question you were asking me and i highlighted very specifically why that wasn't the question you were asking me. the second time you accused me of dodging a question (just now), i had made it clear i found your attitude rude and that i didn't do that. so all this seems very disingenuous to me and i will give you the lynch yes i will lynch youWe are lazy people on an adventure, flirting with life but too shy to go all the way.-

This is actually contradictory - because you already state awareness of why I pushed on him over those other players. Whether or not you consider it worthwhile is maybe worth debating, but the second point is meaningless flim-flam on your part - because you already know it wasn't arbitrary because you were literally able to describe what he did differently.

do not listen to him when he tries to say that i had to take a long time to try and dig myself out of whatever metaphorical life-hole his vote has put me into

i don't really see why you saw the need to post this if you are town, especially since i said 'when he tried to sell you' so (the entire post being jokey notwithstanding) i didn't even accuse you of saying that? i think you are just trying to latch random lines of mine to reply to in order to strengthen your sophismWe are lazy people on an adventure, flirting with life but too shy to go all the way.-

another note to the future readers of this thread:

317 this goes back to my previous point about cognitive dissonance wrt semantics
because no there were no questions in the strict sense but we were having a discussion about how i found your line of questioning scummy and then you avoided replying to it
it's like if i'm having a back and forth point by point argument with someone and they suddenly just stop replying yes i would consider that dodging?We are lazy people on an adventure, flirting with life but too shy to go all the way.-

reread again. there's not too much interesting in the early pages.
i think konowa is town and BBT is probably town because i don't see scum using such an overtly personal reasoning for voting thor
though i haven't actually read any xiao/Varsoon games before, and maybe varsoon treats xiao differently from how he treats the group of friends vars and i play with, but something about their interaction seems off. varsoon seems a little too meek. but really i'd need to see him work on stuff before i can properly read him. i'm pretty sure xiao is town though. i'm pretty out of steam for insane metadives but if i do one it might be on xiao and xiao/varsoon games
i'm also going to be very careful with reading varsoon this game because my meta is apparently rusty
gamsimbre just got off vla but his (two) posts are like all right and pretty transparent and i don't think i'll be looking that direction day 1

is this the only reason why you are pushing midget over the other lurkerscum?We are lazy people on an adventure, flirting with life but too shy to go all the way.-

It seems like a defense of your slip - but I literally don't know what you're saying, and I'd like to give you a chance to spell it out.
which part of 322?
idk what "your slip" refers to but you've been dropping kinda meaningless buzzwords all conversation so i'm not even bothered enough to askWe are lazy people on an adventure, flirting with life but too shy to go all the way.-

i mean ok i'll spell out my 329 because i feel like i'll have to at this rate
in the walls 'defending my dodge' i accused you of misrepresenting and used the conversation to illustrate why i was asking you about your line of questioning
to which you continued on your "oh hurr durr DODGING" trollytrack
let me put it to you this way
when, if ever, did you answer the questions in the following two posts
In post 273, orcinus_theoriginal wrote:In post 265, Thor665 wrote:Why? I thought you agreed with her case, wherein I was voting her in terror with my entire scumteam to be rid of her, no?
I don't want to blindsheep my predecessor, and I can't imagine that you want me to go down that path.
although tbh i could and that would save me a lot of work
what was the point of that question?
In post 275, orcinus_theoriginal wrote:Like I'm sort of confused considering you had that bit earlier in the game about how you were asking people questions in order to understand their motivations + POV
and then a replacement comes in, asks you a question, and then you sort of snarkily respond with a "oh durrrr i thought you were scumreading me huh? HUH?"
isn't that kind of weird?
because you didn't
and then you tried to get me sidetracked on the defense of something really laughable
like if you were town you should be assembling a series of quotes that shows me dodging anything but instead you continue on this empty rhetoric because you know if you put that series of quotes together ppl will see i didn't actually "dodge" anything
god i'm so sick of that wordWe are lazy people on an adventure, flirting with life but too shy to go all the way.-

I gt it if you don't want to spend your time arguing with Thor (most people don't), but I wouldn't recommend replacing into a game with him in it if you were so dreading that so much. Just tellig someone to stop arguing is a HUGE scum move.
well, no.
in theory this is true but in practice some debates + walls can be just an information overload which makes it harder for town to sift through information and just add noise, even though there is more content

I've only been scum a couple times, but how often is QuickThreads used for scum topics? And can the mod tell us if there is daytalk? Or is that all hidden since it's a Normal game?
i always assume daytalk i guess because that's just the mafia environment i experience. the group of players i play with (cabd, fery, etc whatever) all are pretty large proponents of scum daytalk. i mean the assumption might seem strange but i literally cannot remember the last non-bork game that didn't have daytalkWe are lazy people on an adventure, flirting with life but too shy to go all the way.-

yeah i can. this is my first game back from a 6 month hiatus and before i left i never actually used a PT. it's not quickthreads, not quicktopic. so since private topics were implemented after i took my leave in may, before that we always used QTs.

all use QTs (since private topics hadn't been implemented yet), all have daytalk (i actually forgot whether teenwolf did or not. i think it did but i can't actually find the QT)We are lazy people on an adventure, flirting with life but too shy to go all the way.-

oh huh that's weird i didn't know tales of you ended up changing into a MS thread
but you can see that the game began as using QTs and then ended up using private threads so I assume that's exactly when the PT was implemented. and since i didn't have a neighborhood or a scumteam in that game i never ended up using that.We are lazy people on an adventure, flirting with life but too shy to go all the way.-

In post 312, orcinus_theoriginal wrote:i mean the issue i have with you right now are a few
1. unproductive and disingenuous lines of questioning that seems solely geared to get me to unvote when i first replaced in
2. reluctance to engage in conversation
3. i guess the fact that your two scumreads right now are two of the people scumreading you is an added bonus
4. there's a certain amount of cognitive dissonance in your posts. i mean you chide me for talking semantics when it really wasn't semantics, it was you either misphrasing your question or you just trying to deliberately misrep me as "dodging" things. and then the tipping point for my slot being scum again is this idea that i somehow treated my replacement's case strangely, when i've made it perfectly clear how i deal with predecessors cases replacing in and your evidence for the countercase is that i called all's case "good", which again is semantics. there's also this willingness to brand what i do as scummy especially when i think objectively you should not be scumreading me right now. the attack on me dodging question is highly highly questionable. i made it clear the first time that you alleged i dodged a question that i didn't think that's the question you were asking me and i highlighted very specifically why that wasn't the question you were asking me. the second time you accused me of dodging a question (just now), i had made it clear i found your attitude rude and that i didn't do that. so all this seems very disingenuous to me and i will give you the lynch yes i will lynch you
take your pick
i don't OMGUS very often if at all. but since that seems to be a concern of yours, 1. is not OMGUS because i refer to thor's questioning before he started scumreading me, 4. refers pretty heavily to his case on me so you're free to discount that although i think it's pretty strong
i would also add that i actually scumread thor before he scumread me so again my thorscum read is not reflexiveWe are lazy people on an adventure, flirting with life but too shy to go all the way.-

i can explain 1 and 2 in more detail since it feels like i'll need to
1 when i first replaced in i feel like thor's questioning of me was rather disingenuous. i go over this in detail in 293 but basically i don't think he was trying to learn anything from his questioning, and i think his questions were geared in a way that would allow him to pivot into scumreading me / getting me to move my vote.
-for instance he pressured me a lot on my initial stance on him. why would you pressure a guy who literally just replaced in that way? he doesn't have a solid grasp on what's going on in the game, obviously doesn't have strong scumreads, and is trying to figure stuff out so i mean sure by questioning him on his initial vote you're going to either a) prove that his vote has weak reasoning (no shit he just replaced in) and scumread off that b) get him to unvote and i don't think either of these results speak to a town mindset. For instance if I were town and in thor's position i would ask the replacement for stances on certain cases, which to thor's credit he did, but i just think the line of questioning is really really off.
-this also ties in with the fact that coincidentally there seems to be some element of OMGUS and i don't think that's an element of thor's townplay
2 seems like a strange thing to say but i have an issue with how thor basically ignores my accusations of him. i don't like how he doesn't reply to the bit where i accuse him of misrepresenting his own question 288 and i don't like the sort of condescending brush-off attitude he's taken the entire game against ppl who are scumreading him. so yeah he'll reply in the interest of upholding a facade of replying to accusations but he'll drop a lot of meaningless buzzwords and spin false narratives and it won't seem like he's actually interested in figuring stuff out, just in accusing his own accusers of being scummy in some wayWe are lazy people on an adventure, flirting with life but too shy to go all the way.
