Open 842: Diffusion of Power [Postgame]

[morph the cat]

it felt like a lead brick being dropped

More like "shat out" than dropped~

Now see, I can't tell why I feel this way about his reads list versus most others. Maybe because given the rest of the ISO I was looking for something that resembled a willingness to engage? I also find the distaste for asynchronous dialogue odd from someone with a 2008 join date. MS isn't letting me look at people's topics going back further than the first page for some reason, but the first page does show a game from 2012 and two more pages past that, which means even if more recent games are the 2021 'post wherever/whenever/forever' style, asynchronous convos aren't that offensive, especially when it seems like that might be what's manageable for his posting frequency/schedule as demonstrated so far.

well yeah but are there any scummier active players rn tho
a question i dont yet have an answer to

What questions do you have answers to?

Here's one (multi-parter even!): Who do you think the scummiest active player is, and who do you think the scummiest inactive player is? Your definitions of active vs. inactive will suffice.

This is why I started the day out with an open-ended question for him about something besides mechanics. Our approaches differ a little!

@AL: I didn't say I don't like asynchronous dialogue but when we're getting like 15 pages in a day it tends to get overtaken by events.
And my other point about it is it gives people time to consider their reply whereas when you're both online and having a back and forth there's more chance for the person you're talking with to slip up.

Re. my games, my older ones are on my wiki, I played roughly 2008-2012 then barely at all til about six months ago.

This purely reactive post makes me think you're caught up and perfectly happy with the game state / not doing anything.

Also like how do you propose anyone have a synchronous dialogue with you if you are infrequently here.

I'm just really offput by implosion for some reason. Can't quite put my finger on it.

Mutual, except I can~

This is a very strange post that sets off alarm bells for me. I can’t see a town motivation for making this.

Right now I'm rereading morph and implosion in iso so I can answer AL's question about implosion

This week in particular being first week back at work is less representative of me. In general 6am to 12pm UTC is the best time for me to be having back and forths

I don't think it's strange at all? Are you sure you understood it?

[fua]

Feel free to explain it to me. I may well have misunderstood.

okay but i'm american so that's the middle of the night lol

I believe he is saying that he is offput by morph and he can name the reason. Or maybe that he knows why morph is offput by him and it's because they're scum?

Oh, I bet you read this as talking about himself which actually is more directly supported by the text.

[fua]

Instead of asking why he just says ‘I feel the same way’ which is just weird and an attempt to brush off suspicion through OMGUS and undermining Morph’s own statement, which I think is scummy.

Hero solve is Ceph/Implosion/Tejate. Clearly this is correct.

As for the gamestate though, yeah.
-We're still like 10 days til deadline
-the game's active
-no danger of anyone I townread getting quicklimmed
-not worried that people aren't impressed by my posts so far as I expect to be able to change their view over the course of the day

I'm not 'not doing anything' but I don't feel the need to shake things up

[fua]

What’s your opinion on Morph?

[Cephrir]

fair enough

I first read that post the same way as Cephir's first sentence - that he distrusts morph for a reason he can name.

@implosion can you confirm what you meant?

[fua]

I think you took the statement too literally and completely at face value.

[Cephrir]

although i guess i don't know why he'd be expected to ask why when the entire point of their post was to say they wouldn't be able to answer that question

[morph the cat]

Wanna know the best part of locktowning Tammyguin, Ceph?

My you-read is outsourced to somebody better at it!
