dats you panicking buddy?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

oh i wasnt even trying to get that one

[Datisi]

ok i actually looked at vulture's iso for more than 5 seconds, and all/most their posts feel like posting for the sake of posting, like arguing theory or semantics or whatever

@ich, what made you want to include them in the initial trust fall?

[skitter30]

could you explain what you thought by "self-trusts being legal"? like, it requires two people for a fall, how did you think this would work?

I thought if someone else trusted you too it would work, no i'm not sure why that made sense to me, but that's what i was thinking

I am still a little suspicous of you though. Also why would scum-me make sure you dont get townread?

I think if t3 is scum there's scum in dats/ich.

[Vulture]

Also Datisi, it’s playstyle. I get tired of my voice sometimes, too.

p-edit: What expectations do you have of me early game to assume I would jump in straight to reads?

why are you ~a little suspicious~ of me? and uh, because this game is about townies getting correct townreads, and town!me is kinda... good at getting townread?

what's the t3/dats/ich read?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Dats how do you feel about trusting Ich?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Skitter is out for blood this game prepare to die

[skitter30]

There was almost "extra wording" that made this post towny to me. Like scum usually doesn't feel the ned to clariy naively or purposefully.

Meh not a good reason

arguing mech / semantics / setup strategy is a thing scum often does because it's posting and presence but it's actively stopping game progress. i don't have any meta on you to know if you do that as town or not, this is a general read.

This post pings me weirdly. Hard to articulte further.

pedit: I'm getting the same ping again so my read might be confbias or playstyle.

[skitter30]

I viewed it as a condescending/forceful way to request an explanation; I would have scumread a reaction where you pressed on me for being aggressive towards you if it was in the context of, “Vulture is being aggressive towards me because I outed gutpings on them.”

And that’s okay. I have those feelings at times but these ones specifically just don’t mesh with me. Maybe because I’ve tried to be a bit more confident/headstrong and it wasn’t it for me but was it for Ich. So the metric just isn’t working.

Oh i dont think u were aggresive enuf to trip that meter
Not gonna try to find ur alt or anything but have u played qith me before?

If we're hero-solving s/s pairs i kinda like dats/t3
If we're looking for t/t pairs i dont know yet but ich and penguin would probably be up there

[Datisi]

Dats how do you feel about trusting Ich?

ich is like, slightly +town than random but nowhere near trust levels. please stop trying to piss me off, it's annoying.

[Something_Smart]

SS currently in my "never trustfall" POE.

You townread everyone else who'd posted?

I think this perception bothers me if only that it comes after Skitter and I spoke in a way that I feel deviates from the theory talk I had with Ich before. My perception is that we were both engaging each other over actual “content”.

But yes, I was forcing myself to post “actual posts” before then. I would rather post when I feel like it even if it’s vapid as to be doing something that could lead to AI interaction.

[T3]

Are you sure you're not townreading Penguin just for the gifs?

I feel if it was over the top it’d be strange and not go as wanted. A swing and a miss. We have.

why are you ~a little suspicious~ of me? and uh, because this game is about townies getting correct townreads, and town!me is kinda... good at getting townread?

what's the t3/dats/ich read?

You feel v concerned about how i'm reading u and i dont know why you would care so much at thia point (hey remember the (?) ? This is sort of tripping the same thing)

And you feel somewhat off and focusing on the wrong things
And idk if i like your vulture take

And i get why scum would undermune townreads in general but why would i start the game doing so *on you*?

Did you think your entrance would ger you townread?

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

ich is like, slightly +town than random but nowhere near trust levels. please stop trying to piss me off, it's annoying.

so you'd be ok with trusting Ich since he's +town for you right?

i started typing that post when your posts were only the "vapid posts" and i didn't read the pedits as there were too many. and i skimmed / basically skipped the other posts you wrote because they were more than 2 lines and i'm kinda busy answering other thing that people are throwing at me. i'll update that read when i get around to it

[Vulture]

I’ll take an appointment at ten, Datisi.

i'm not concerned about my own image, i'm concerned about yours. basically, you started off the game calling me scummy for my intro - which by itself made me suspicious of you because i didn't think you can get a scumread on me for that. but maybe you saw something i didn't, so i'm gonna ask you about it to try to figure out if you actually *saw something* or if your read was *made up bullshit*

like, i kinda feel it's disingenuous to compare this to the "(?)" when that was much deeper into the game (where i was townread, but you were also townread, and we were basically playing white flag, and god help me if town!skitter is about to turn on me), while this was like, literally page two (where most reads are pretty much blank slates)

what do you think town!me would be focusing on here?
and /shrug on the vulture take

and because again, i'm decently good at getting myself townread as town, and because you gotta start somewhere, and arguably my intro was the only one / the most weird enough to go after?

[Datisi]

ich is like, slightly +town than random but nowhere near trust levels. please stop trying to piss me off, it's annoying.

so you'd be ok with trusting Ich since he's +town for you right?

they're +town but not town *enough*. i know you're trying to get me to say that i don't want to trust fall with them because then you can yell how you've solved the game, but like. i'm sure you can see the issues there, and being shitpushed, meme or not, is getting on my nerves, so

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

if im wrong u and ich can live happily ever after in solved land
