I think sources of tension are informative when they are authentic. It’s hard to determine who is authentic and who isn’t and I am predisposed to anyone suspecting me being scum (which I am trying to shake) so I don’t find “manipulative” (your words maybe strategic) fights as helpful if helpful at all.In post 146, MUSHSHAGANA wrote:I’m watching Dunn and LLD closely too. I haven’t forgotten them or tried to bury them.
But don’t you think it’s more informative to have two sources of tension than one? To see what one draws what people? To see how they are allowed to evolve and grow, or abandoned to the dustbin of the thread?
I’ll be able to make a move there tonight, when one or both of Dunn and LLD has posted again. For now it’s you, me and anyone who cares to weigh in.
I don’t ever abandon anything that’s one of my “quirks”. I can get being subversive but I have a harder time differentiating that. So I guess it’s more of a selfish thing. Less subversive undercurrent easier to find town and therefore easier to find scum.-

No, but I would be very surprised if this were not characteristic.In post 138, Critter wrote:Has anyone played with her before to speak to this?It's always the same.

Serious vote. I don’t like what M is doing that doesn’t mean she’s being the only one that matters. There’s a difference between not liking it and this.-

Good frickin luck, is all I'll say. It takes most people a long time to get a handle on me.In post 143, MUSHSHAGANA wrote:I think I have a handle on Something_Smart.

I feel like one of us is misunderstanding here. I was sarcastically pointing out that she was being cryptic in a way that might help her job but makes the rest of ours harder.In post 154, Critter wrote:Serious vote.

Oh no. I think you misunderstand me. I am saying he’s scum because it’s sarcastic. I read it like Valley Girl tone of “Guess you’re the only person who reads matter”. It’s a put down to M while subtly agreeing that something I did was scummy.In post 159, Gamma Emerald wrote:Basically I can tell he’s being sarcastic-

You're in for a rude awakening then.In post 161, Critter wrote:I am saying he’s scum because it’s sarcastic.
I wasn't agreeing with her read on you; I'm not sure where you got that from. It's a put-down, yes. What's scummy about that?It's always the same.

How is it this? I feel like in general you’re reading into things a bit much but I straight up don’t get this partIn post 161, Critter wrote:subtly agreeing that something I did was scummy.<Embrace The Void>

I mixed you up with StrangeMatter both S names my bad.In post 134, StrangeMatter wrote:
I'm not sure I'm following the part of this where if Dunn is scum, then the person townreading then is also scum and there isn't the possibility that town's made mistakes in townreading, especially when I know I've made mistakes like that before as Town where I trust the wrong person. I also don't see how if he flips green how the people townreading him are also town.In post 111, Critter wrote: Therefore if anyone townreads Dunn I would expect those players to be of similar alignment. Eg if Dunn is town, person townreading Dunn is town and if Dunn scum person scum.
This kind of feels like scum trying set up a play, not sure exactly but definitely something I want to keep in mind if Dunn ever flips.-

I'd say deniably, not subtly, at the very most. I read it more like buddying you. Either way, because Something_Smart jumped too early (whoopsie doodle!), I got what I wanted out of this -- reads gathered include you town, Something_Smart leaning scum, Gamma leaning town, StrangeMatter hovering (which indicates scum for me if it goes on too long).In post 161, Critter wrote:

VOTE: StrangeMatter
But I don't want to wait for that to resolve. My read of StrangeMatter is that I'll be here awhile if I want to wait for it to happen. So I'm gonna shove here and see what gives, instead.
PEDIT: Well, looks like you got away from the "subtly" language at least.-

Buddying assumes not genuine, yeah? What makes you think it wasn't genuine?It's always the same. When you fire that first shot, no matter how right you feel, you have no idea who's going to die.

I think I'll leave that a riddle for you to figure out. There is, in fact, an answer and I will, in fact, provide proof I'm not just making shit up down the line when I'm confident revealing it: it refers to 2 events other than your post, and the deciding factor is progression.In post 171, Something_Smart wrote:What about the context?
What do I mean by events? What progression am I referring to? I dunno, seems reasonable to ask but I think I just dropped all my answers in the dirt a second ago and I don't know what's going on anymore.
I'll check back in later, got some finance work to do. Tomorrow and Saturday are gonna be even dicier in terms of time, we'll see how it all goes.
