okay

hard to gauge that from a naked vote, thought there was something there, still might be something there but if it's not a confident read then shrug

a little passive? heavy on conversational interactions but w/o a strong sense of purpose to her posting. didnt get a feel of trying to figure things out, not enough reads for my liking

Guess it's about time for me to work through this from scratch since I don't remember shit from what I skimmed, will take me a bit.

Prism · Post Post #858 (ISO) » Mon Nov 30, 2020 11:29 am

Well first off I just learned that I revoted bork lmao, I forgot I threw up 130's vote entirely, just to be somewhere else after not liking the hint of townread line.

I cleared up the timeline of what I was talking about here bork if you're still confused by what I meant.

Pooky, can you explain more about your 182? This angle bothers me. Elements got burned incredibly hard that game [Undertale 2.0] from virtually every angle, she's approaching this game with a bit more proactiveness for sure but being friendly is NOT what she carries over as a crucial point to a scum opener. iirc you also had her as scum quite early that game

My instinct here is that it's probably NAI and it bothers me that you seemed to scumread it

My ~page 10 reread scumteam~ is peta/pooky/bork

PookyTheMagicalBear · Post Post #860 (ISO) » Mon Nov 30, 2020 11:55 am

"pooky is town" sounds friendly to me

Prism · Post Post #861 (ISO) » Mon Nov 30, 2020 12:02 pm

I still don't see why this is something you're wary of in comparison to the overall much stronger play of Elements, especially given how hard Elements' pocket attempts on various players completely backfired on her.

I get you're a paranoid bear but it's a struggle for me to understand you.

I guess if it's the first thing you notice and draw the connection to?

PookyTheMagicalBear · Post Post #862 (ISO) » Mon Nov 30, 2020 12:04 pm

Probly has to do more with ego-centrism than paranoia - I should really branch out more.

Cabd · Post Post #863 (ISO) » Mon Nov 30, 2020 12:07 pm

Also, now that borkgame is over.

First of all, fucking phew, giant load off shoulders.

Secondly...

UNVOTE:

Prism · Post Post #864 (ISO) » Mon Nov 30, 2020 12:12 pm

My impression of this game is that I'm going to have to meta virtually every player other than peta and it's going to be a giant pain in the ass.

Probably going to have to trick peta into town/scumclaiming to me again so I guess I should get something cooked up on that front.

petapan · Post Post #865 (ISO) » Mon Nov 30, 2020 12:15 pm

i think you're just jealous we don't have a complicated meta dance like the cool kids in this game

As far as I can remember from my skim you haven't commented on my play at all this game.

You're also playing weirdly cautiously in exactly how you're approaching pushing points/reads. You're reticent by nature on this account but to borrow a phrase, you make my skin crawl this game.

petapan · Post Post #867 (ISO) » Mon Nov 30, 2020 12:24 pm

am i supposed to have said anything about you?

i i wouldn't say cautiously. i was slow to start because i was overgamed and my confidence is shot so i've not had a lot to offer readswise. currently my vote is in the awkward position of being a sheepvote with no shepherd

- his reaction to your push on him
- how he tried to disengage with you
- how he's interacting with the cabd/ffery thing and working through it

I thought the disengage wasn't great. Given that bork thought I was misrepping him, it's really bizarre to back off when someone feels their pressuring is effective. You don't want to get into the weeds and drag down the game but you don't ask questions to prod at the things that bother you only to back off when you think they're faltering.

If he's that worried about a vote miscommunication he can switch the topic.

Third point here is just superbly lazy.

You're not as dumb as the rest of them and know I'm a scum specialist, but I think you've got very good reason to think I'm town and think so early.

I was OK with you taking time to start but didn't like what I skimmed. Even in Xenoblade it felt like your opinions had a bit more bravado to them, even if they were only one/two words. I think the only one that struck me similarly this game was your "disagree" on Pooky's lockscum DGB, which I found out of place but I don't always understand you.

I'll revisit you when I actually get through your content fully as opposed to halfassed skim.

I know better than anyone here that you're not at the peak of your motivation and confidence right now. I'm glad to see that you're building yourself back into the game.

But if you're scum, I'm gonna getcha

i mean that game you said "every time someone says something towny or scummy you come into the thread and say the exact opposite", so

I think the only one that struck me similarly this game was your "disagree" on Pooky's lockscum DGB, which I found out of place but I don't always understand you.

within context i felt he was saying she was scum for that post, i felt that her scumreading that post from cabd was in-character and a believable read for her to have. also this was page 5.

i'm 100 feet outside my scumrange already

no one will believe me on that but that's okay
