Yeah, because you're focused on why her asking "Because...?" to Dwlee was weird and scummy because it's not ideal play

I realize there is more to the interactions and play, this is one point that stuck out to me and we've had multiple followups about.

Can you tell me what you were scum reading from skitter at this point?
Her thoughts felt more like someone who wanted to bury the Ari v Prism fight rather than curious about the mech implications which makes sense to me if she is partnered with Prism. If she's mafia and prism is town, I would expect her to play more into the fight because she knows such a 1v1 can consume a lot of thread bandwidth and potentially 2 mislims back to back for her.

Overall I just felt she jumped to a conclusion faster than made sense for town!her to be.

This seems like a pedantic argument. Anytime we are getting to using single words in quotes, we have probably skewed too far from a good faith interpretation of what's being said.

Can I get your follow up thoughts on your claim and Prism's role now that we have discussed it more?


I'm also thinking more about the gated nature of your mailman claim, and thinking maybe that does fit with a town ascetic? Like, town ascetic claims D1, and town needs to decide to yeet them or not. Mailman then has a decision: Do I out D1, or try to keep quiet and test if this person is ascetic tonight by my action failing.

It seems kind of pointless, but maybe that distraction plays with other PRs or something?

Are you still as convinced as you were that mechanically Prism's role doesn't fit with yours as town?

Maybe you're working on this already, but you kind of gave your thoughts on the middle bit here Ari. Can I get your thought on the bolded questions though? These are probably more important.

that sounds like something that sounds nice but doesn't really apply to the current situation

like i don't think the fact that there is one word in quotes there has anything to do with the point being debated

I remain skeptical that her role can be town but I am giving her space to catch mafia because Prism is a very good player and tends to catch bad people and get fearkilled.

yes, it is a single word post, fair enough.

I guess what I mean is that datisi is attacking skitter's putting the responsibility back on dwlee there. You're saying datisi is focusing on too little of things by picking out the "because" post in their catch up. So it kind of becomes this fight over the meaning of the "because" post. I can see what you're both saying and I don't know if I feel like it's productive beyond what's already been stated. That's where i'm coming from.

prism: vote skitter it is then :)
