Open 779: Pick Your Power X/Y Game Over!

[DoctorPepper]

Farkset, our interactions have solidified my read on you because you're practically misrepping me.

I initially scum read you for what I felt was fake content. Now I think you're discrediting my actual scum read on you by latching on to my point about inactivity. It's like you're telling everyone subtly "don't listen to this guy he doesn't make any sense"

Plus I'm not trying to punish active people I just think it's pointless to push for them when active people will more likely be good source for scum

Eh, ok then, talk to you again when you get out of your tunnel

I tried to open your eyes, my advice is still valid

I kinda explained that the hydra dissonance was something I thought was Townie noh?

Like why announce that instead of keeping it in their own PT

[skitter30]

We had similar reads earlier about dunn and doncorleone, i can't get myself to realize why you would townread alduskel or scumread us or CSF. If you want further engagement, i can deliver any time.

what don't you like about aldu?

also what do you think of brass?

[DoctorPepper]

Farkran, it doesn't really help that you're talking to me condescendingly, it's why I feel like this is discrediting rather than a genuine attempt to "work with your town reads"

That being said, yes I have a tendency to tunnel and yea I have a tendency to fall down the rabbit hole with my scum reads and view their every action as scummy.

[skitter30]

brass there's like 20 pages of content and i dont' think you've produced like any of it

Ok, but have you at least tried to understand my point? Because we cannot work together if you don't try. I am nit talking condescendingly to you. I think you are wrong, i explain to you my point of view, and your answer is "yeah the fact that you tell me that i am wrong makes me even more sure that i am right".

Until there is common ground to work with i'd rather take a break, engage with something else and gain more info

My initial reaction was "Skitter why" but then I realized brass's comment after all this is "CSF is getting replaced"

So a lot has happened this game and that's a weird thing to comment on first, so I'm not liking this so far

I agree I have not.

I'm trying to get reoriented to the player list to see who is getting replaced, but the mod's latest message was not helpful.

There's other more personal reasons for me missing out on lots of content but what happens between me and my girlfriend over the weekend is not for mafiascum... It isn't breaking up.

@farkset

I am inclined to agree with Skitter here and I feel like your push was trying to get me on a gotcha and now you're backing down from it

FMPOV we disagree with scum hunting but you've done a good job of discrediting me by saying im not adhering to my logic. Was that the point you're trying to make here?

[skitter30]

it's more like, idk, is that the only thing you have to say? like there's even things in the past 2 pages (since you came back a few min ago) to interact with

[Farkset]

We had similar reads earlier about dunn and doncorleone, i can't get myself to realize why you would townread alduskel or scumread us or CSF. If you want further engagement, i can deliver any time.

what don't you like about aldu?

also what do you think of brass?

I explained my read on aldu in post 362. His subsequent posts have improved, but i'm not ready to move on from there when most slots haven't expressed a strong opinion of him. So far, you are the only one who offered a towncase.

Brass is nulltown, i think he has correctly picked up on things early - would like more content from him though.

I have things to say but everything is so rapid fire the past two pages I've seen the other posts come up in previews and it just seems like people have moved on.

I did want to ask Dr Pepper if he's trying to say that Farsket is chainsawing him, though, because I'm a bit confused by that last post.

[brassherald]

you feel ingenuine

i don't know
the tacks that you're taking just feel very weird and coming at things from strange angles
and like you're trying to catch people in gotcha!'s that don't actually matter
and i can't track what you're thinking and why here

like dats at least most of their posting is stemming from 'i'm bored and i'm just hanging out in thread waiting for things to happen and i'll just push random things to see if it makes something happened'

i can't figure out how you're approaching this game

I suggest you metadive some of my games. All my completed games are listed in my wiki page. This is how i play, and you will notice i am a vote magnet especially during d1's. The same holds true in the one game we played together, but you were scum so it might have not stuck in your memory.

My approach to towngames, unless they are landslidically easy, is to spark interactions between people - sometimes with reaction tests, sometimes with gotcha moments. It usually brings good results. Advancing the gamestate is my main concern, i usually fight people who don't do that.

We had similar reads earlier about dunn and doncorleone, i can't get myself to realize why you would townread alduskel or scumread us or CSF. If you want further engagement, i can deliver any time.

-Farkran

Wait, I got the impression you were scum reading CSF?

(I'm working backwards)

i'm pretty sure i refuted your aldu case
can you point to where you think brass has correctly picked up on things early?

[DoctorPepper]

I'm sorry, chainsawing?

[brassherald]

I tend to think Day 1 is about not drawing attention to yourself as scum so you try to blend in and go with the flow of popular opinion, lurk your way through, or produce content fluffy enough not to get lynched but also useless enough not to give any info.

Is this for a specific person, or just overall?

Could you point to me where i tried to trap you in a gotcha moment? I don't think skitter was referring to that when she talked to me about gotcha tactics.

In any case, no i didn't try to trap you, i was trying to open your eyes about a scumhunting strategy that i think is wrong. Our reads conflict hard and that's the very first thing that i told you. What else did you expect?

When, instead of responding to your arguments/case, they are attacking stuff that you have done.

I would also like to know that first part because I mostly just shit post these days.

Overall.

Not particularly, no. Where did you get the impression?

Just the constant asking of what he thinks about votes on him. That seems to me to be something one would generally more do for a scum lean than a townie.

[DoctorPepper]

@fark. I feel like your gotcha was you trying to say "I'm inconsistent with how I hunt scum" while also discrediting my scumhunting method altogether.

And TBH, even if we don't agree on the way we hunt scum, it's one thing to disagree and it's another to claim I'm flat out wrong
