[tris]

new strat, promise to play a game of dethy so hellbooks will put me in her coalition

[hellbooks]

someone accused shea of being defeatest ( i think skitter) and ill just idly wonder aloud what she'd say about ari preemptively excluding herself from the BITSH coal that she proposed. to stoke up some drama

[Aristeia]

she sounded like she was really excited to drive the fun car with me ngl

[hellbooks]

I'm having a lot of fun with being able to refer to certain proposed coalitions in shorthand, such as the "BITSH" coal and the "BTS is..." coal, and im going to do my best to continue to try and get more of these nicknames used by the public. for example, who wants to be in "Dethy" coal

[fireisredsir]

favoring fun coalition acronyms is difficult when i don't townread either of the two vowels

[sheepsaysmeep]

god if we dont win this coalition thingy. I dod not sign up to play normal fuckin 7v2 micro

the coalition forming process and also it just existing in general as something that has a scum in it is some decent amount of info

yeah it's balanced, im just saying that then it's like forum mafia, which is something I dislike

[Isis]

Frm

[hellbooks]

skitz + helly + isis + tris + sheep lets go SHITS COAL!!!!

[Aristeia]

Isis is my top townread and if it's wrong I don't want to be right

[fireisredsir]

skitz + helly + isis + tris + sheep lets go SHITS COAL!!!!

id actually potentially vote for shits and giggles

[Isis]

I wouldn't be town reading skitter if I wasn't scum with her

[Aristeia]

I wouldn't be town reading skitter if I wasn't scum with her

Aren't you two more likely to engage in silly scum theatre where you try to scumread each other when teamed up?

[Aristeia]

god if we dont win this coalition thingy. I dod not sign up to play normal fuckin 7v2 micro

i hated this post but I also hate changing my mind so pls refrain from making any more scummy posts tyvm

I claim scum

[Thestatusquo]

i still want to engage with shea about the isis thing

you're going to have to remind me

[Thestatusquo]

I think ari and fire are most likely to be scum.

I think sheep is most likely to be town.

Kinda waffling on the hellbooks town read because idk the antics just somehow seem less pure to me than they did in the garlic game.

I don't scum read tris but I thought the like moment where everyone decided to apropos of nothing state she was town to be very interesting and I wonder if some of it was TMI which ironically would make her town.

I don't really think tris has done much of anything alignment indicative at all.

[Thestatusquo]

skitz + helly + isis + tris + sheep lets go SHITS COAL!!!!

noh.

[fireisredsir]

why no

[Thestatusquo]

ig I liked Isis' dance around me and fires interaction last night.

[Thestatusquo]

Fire you are just asking so many questions that no reasonable person could think would find my alignment.

[fireisredsir]

i don't know why you react this way so often it really confuses me. im not trying to be unreasonable and im sorry if me asking you things or speaking to you upsets you but im not really sure how else to play the game

if you say you scumread two people and then say no to a coalition that doesn't include those two people i think it is like very reasonable to want to probe into that and see why? you just gave a list of reads and nowhere in it was anything that indicates why you'd say no to that coalition. i was curious why you said no so i asked

it's not that i think 'scum shea will answer this way and town shea will answer this way' i literally just want to know more of your thoughts and understand your mindset and how you are viewing the game

[Thestatusquo]

I think the questions you're asking me aren't useful and I think they are more intentioned to make it look like you're asking questions about the game but I don't think they're going to help you find any meaningful conclusions and I don't think town you asks me them.

There's a lot of subtle things I think are problematic in post 446.

a) "You say I scum read 2 people" no, I said 2 people were the most likely to be scum. this does not imply that I scum read no other people. this does not imply that I town read everyone else. this does not imply that I view every other person in the game other than those two as interchangeable.

b) "you gave a list of reads." no, I gave a list of some thoughts that happened to be in my head while I looked at the last few pages. They're not a holistic representation of my view of the whole game, and in order to act like they are you'd have to ignore *gestures vaguely at all the other things I've said this game about thoughts about other peoples alignment*

c) "I don't know why you react this way so often it really confuses me" react what way? As if I think you're scum because you're doing things I think scum do that town do not? Because that is how I am reacting.

[Thestatusquo]

c in particular is alarming because it kind of feels like you're painting my way to you as some pattern of being unreasonable when in fact reacting to a question you think is busywork by scum reading the person asking that question is just baseline mafia play.

[Thestatusquo]

I also feel like the way you're approaching the whole coalition building process is incredibly scummy. It feels like you're not taking it seriously and you want to just pass it off like oh haha I'll vote for whatever when I think town you would be much more interested in buckling down and actually considering whether that coalition you just said "I would potentially vote for shits and giggles" is a good one or not.

But I'm seeing literally zero thought process like that from you.
