(1) ok, y
(2) ok, y
(3) uh, actually I tend to do this whenever someone votes me unless I think I’ve been actively scummy
(4) why is it noteworthy that I tend to focus on my attackers? Like, I’m at e-1, I know that it’s very likely that one of those 4 people is scum, are you expecting me to not be primarily interested in sorting there?
First instance of a context shift.
You isolated 3 and 4 into seperate points. They are the same point.

VOTE: Menalque - Summary being ye gods Ive made some awful posts and plays in my time, this boi be reachin hard.
This is (1) performative given that you were already voting me and (2) not based in any sense on reality given that you can’t substantiate in any way how I’m “reaching”, and lowkey I think that’s why you decided to shelter the majority of that post under spoiler tags
Context manipulation. Without quotes thats a beast of a wall, doesnt take much of a meta dive or even a question in game to find out if this is AI for me, spoiler, it isnt/

This is rly obviously referring to “the slot” and not infinity as a person but also I’m pretty sure he’s a big boy and able to raise points like this himself if he were to interpret it that way! Nice white knight tho!
Context shift again, using a strictly NAI and even outside-of-game point to paint it as SAI.
Eliminations are better than no elims, someone do the job for me. Menalque has pulled some BS to place me in a corner that only my flip will release me from. No matter what happens at this point, I can't not be eliminated.

if you're town can you spare us the emotional flailing?
we've seen three E-1's already. your elimination isn't a foregone conclusion, so like, chill.
i am still in your corner flea. you're more likely scum than mena, but i'd still rather not elim from a pairing that is highly unlikely to be scum/scum. at least on D1.
for those on flea's wagon: tell me if its possible for flea/mena's interactions to be scum/scum.
if not, then that is 20% less possible scumteams that flea can exist within.
ask yourself: is your confidence in scum-flea 20% better than random?

Time is a factor in these games, a lim closer to deadline has more pressure effect than one nowhere near.
I'm in a mood, getting context shredded and twisted and sheep-wagoned on it is apparently my thing. At least this time people got me while I'm here to make some protest.
Lil close to deadline to try and get that wagon formed. As it is, my wagon stalled (because both scum are on it already) and I've been twisted into a position where frankly I need to be flipped for information at this point.
Ythan definitely needs a lil intention, but I doubt Ythan is worth the flip at this point. Honestly I think a Mare flip would give more information.

it's an 8 player game. 36 hours is plenty of time when the majority required is small. the town is active enough for things to change.
if we get down to the last 6-12 hours i'll hammer you if need be. why not try something else in the mean time?

i think that antagonisation could go either way.
his main bone of contention with you was that you're not confirmed town. which is technically true. you're close enough to confirmed town to not worry about it, but in my experiences it's a +scum trait when someone attempts to ensure psuedo-confirmed town aren't treated as completely confirmed.
In post 132, Ythan wrote:Haven't really formed any but I'll look again in a minute if you want.
I ISO'd him, this actually felt pretty towny to me, because he could've made up something to say as scum but didn't.
Though he wasn't as town as I thought
I think it's interesting that the first half of this post is an explanation of why you found me townie and then a non explanation mitigating it.
Yeah I still don't like Ythan
I really don't like the way he is phrasing these posts, these statements about things being interesting or odd just seem like trying to throw shade on people without having to commit to a read
I also think it's very scummy to be spending time focusing on whether or not infinity is confirmed town or not.
Like, if he's scum, we don't have to give a shit because he's just going to die
