as for the spiffeh "sr"

*WE* have concerns, simultaneously and independently!


Fire seems to have taken the "Jupiter in a scum slot fluffyness" and made it a part of himself right now. And I don't like it one little itty bitty bit.

Grrrrrrr.
i was fluffier entering kemusan which you both saw so this is an interesting take

In post 112, morph the cat wrote: What has snagged your attention so far?
actiondan is interesting to me. feel safe leaning town for now i think although scum is possible

pooky a little towny

dunn a little towny although his willingness to elaborate so much on reads already was quite surprising to me. i don't think it's scummy though, just surprising

y'all i think feel eager to dig into things which is probably a good enough sign for now that id rather let you do that, although i think the point on me is one that feels misapplied

if i were to put a bet on a scum rn i think id guess STD. that's based on almost nothing however id still take the pookybucks

firebagel feels likely to be readable given time so not worried there rn

:blossom:
I don't like either of the above from Sunflower

The first deflects morph's (imo valid) point about their fluffiness by mentioning one game where they were fluffy early on as town. By mentioning this, it demonstrates that they are aware of their town meta and therefore should have no problem replicating it, so I'm not sure the purpose of even saying this other than to try to get morph off their back.

The second post feels like scum artificially inflating the word count to look like they have substantial thoughts, idk how to really articulate it but it feels insecure to me. The ActionDan read is basically "I think town but he could be scum" which is very non-committal, so what's the point of including it in the first place? The comments about morph and STD follow this same pattern, though less explicitly. It feels like they felt the need to pad their response to morph to make it look like they were thinking about the game critically and it resulted into a bunch of "reads" that don't actually tell me anything.

These, along with their not so stellar (but not quite irredeemable!) early posts makes me happy with my vote on them.

@Sunflower:
1. What makes morph and Dunn's takes about your fluffiness "interesting" and how does this inform your read on them?
2. Can you go into more detail on the ActionDan read?

You came into the game engaging heavily and asking questions in a way that felt pro-town

And while I don't necessarily agree with some of your conclusions, I believe that you believe the things you are saying

Hi Gypyx I think you may have missed this post? Super embarrassing for you but I'm willing to overlook it if you sheep me onto Sunflower
In post 341, Spiffeh wrote: I’m so proud of that Eternity Larva post you quoted, probably my towniest post in that game lol


That kinda was all that

especially it's a bit metagamey but in kemusan i mentionned TR'ing you for saying you got a town PM, and the way you're doing it here feels very deliberate
^ SRing Spiffeh for his opening post[which is like a meme opening he does in every game] when you're 50 pages into the game and there's plenty of other content to actually try to form a read on him with, is just ??? doesn't feel like Gypyx is really trying that hard to read Spiff's alignment or persuade people to think Spiff is scum. If anything she's just clinging onto the initial SR in a fashion that I find pretty unbelievable.

I'm saying that I think she would be treating me with a lot more nuance here if she were scum based on our history, and I'm not all that alarmed by her inactivity at this point. It's nowhere near the level of my strong town reads but she isn't a huge concern for me.

I assume you're scum reading her, feel free to convince me!

Skitter, I am confused.

I am assuming that dance game and touhou are different games.

But Reisen was an anon account for touhou

But also, Gypyx was not Reisen in that game. She was Kagerou, right?
To clarify: crab hydra is saying she's playing like reisen from touhou (i.e. barely around and giving vague attempts at content once in a while) -> reisen was scum. It's less that i think she's reisen so much as reisen can be thought of as an arctype for meh utr scum

And she isn't playing like the town self we saw in touhou (kagerou)

I'm saying in the dance game (kemusun (sp?)) she was town and played similarly to how scum reisen played in touhou
So the fact that her play here looks like that of a 'reisen-type' scumgame isn't so meaningul to me

I'm not sure if the town point someone made (Lukewarm?) about gypyx misremembering how the hood works does much for me

the way is constructed makes it hard for me to differentiate it as a genuine slip or not, *and* I think scum might be more likely to overcompensate for having TMI

Like spiffeh + cabd literally had the exact same convo in dance game abt scum-gypyx's meta, how she played in tenet, has her scumgame changed at all since then, etc

Because she was playing like this there

She was town

I have no idea if she's town here or not but these reasons given for her being scum are kinda meh to me

Did the dance game come after the touhou game?
