hey ari, i've got a question for you!

why did you describe your case on bulge as scumleany with some townleany posts? i'm reading over it right now and it really just like... reads like a scumread/scumcase? i don't know if there's like a separation in your mind between those terms but it feels like you're misrepresenting what your actual read on bulge is when you phrase it like that. like we're supposed to look at it like you're being fair and impartial but it doesn't translate.

I outlined some of the posts I liked there and some that as I wrote about them my mind changed. Honestly it was intended to be impartial but obviously that's not what transpired.

so did you put scumleany/townleany before or after you wrote the case? or can you like, show me what points you think are the "townleany" ones? i really don't get any of that at all and it looks like you just double down on scumread which like, fair since it doesn't seem like you much liked bulge's replies, but it looks pre-determined.

[Augustus Caesar]

do you mean he started at the conclusion that the Bulge was scum and then tried to find reasons to fit that view? that's the vibe it gives me as well

also, you're not picking up your phone

[Augustus Caesar]

Ari, can you link me your

finest

and

proudest

two scumgames

[Ydrasse]

*looks at VC*
Oof, are we that bad at pronouns here?

Uhm, I'm really sorry I've not been motivated to be here. I'm trying to change that.

I have word from a teammate that RCE is still the best option for Elimination today despite some of the meta for beeboy being imperfect.
I'll mention intent but with basically that means I'll hammer if we get too close to deadline.

Sorry again. I just feel like there is so much to do and so I'm putting it all off, as if that's a good solution

That took me like a minute to write how was I ninja'd by literally 5 posts??

also ari, which teammate said this?

i'm not receiving any calls... did you mix up my number with someone else's again... ):

yeah, and then tried to garnish it with the illusion of a townlean spiced in there somewhere

[Ydrasse]

and then he goes into replying to bulge which is like... there wasn't much good faith there? a question or two, but it was shady and didn't seem like he cared too much about the results even of what he asked

Ari's process:
1. Go through The Bulge's Iso and open all interesting posts in new tabs cascading chronologically.
2. Get the impression of fairness from my thoughts as I read the Iso and therefore present it that wat when starting to write the post.
3. Go through the quotes in each tab andwrite down my thoughts as well as I can from both the initial in Iso read and the reread in quoted form.
4. Apparently end up overwhelmingly scumreading him, which is not a surprise because I've been leaning that way since gamestart iirc.
5. Post the post without amending the intro statement and thinking I was fair while apparently not being fair.

p-edit: what does impression of fairness mean???

I can do you that very easily!

Mafia Cafe
Here I replaced Radiant Cowbells and IIRC won it singlehandedly for my team.

Turn of Camn
I mean, I had Pine as a coach but this sticks out as one of my finest!

Those are 100% the two I would point to any time

My phone? Hmm??

I had my predisposition towards Bulge but I tried to be fair but it ended up a scum case. Wtf do you want me to say here? lol

Jingle. Pretty much anytime I say "a teammate" or "my team" I mean Jingle.

He was being shady and cagey! I was trying to highlight this and get interactions out of him.

I mean I did not go in with the intention of scumcasing him despite my scumread on the slot but as I went through that is what it became. That's it. That's what I've said like 3 times now.

Ari, do you ever fake anger or frustration as scum? Just explain your scumrange for me and whether you're out of it in this game

I try not to fake things as scum and it's part of why I have a bad scumgame. I get afraid of positng becasue I'll sound disingenuous and it cripples me. The games I've done well in as scum had reasons I was good.

Mafia Cafe was because of the slot I replaced in to. Pine was a coach in Camn's Revenge, as noted. I could also link Matrix No Reveal which just popped into my head as one of few good scum games, but the lack of reveals is why I did well. Just like in the recent Chain of Command game where I knew and could control more so I could supplement my lack of ability to case people and sound genuine with mechanical crutches.

I think my activity at the start of the game and the fact that I could even attempt this series of posts towards bulge is out of my scumrange.

[Augustus Caesar]

UNVOTE: Ari

honestly, I believe you

it's what I've seen as well comparing any of your scumgames to this game. Your solving is out of its range
