you mean like when i asked you to explain how did you come around to something being definitely a scum thing for me based on nothing but your speculations about my personality? or like when i asked whether you are actually genuinely serious on scumreading me for voting a person fire also voted? when i tried to engage with you on why you were dismissing other people sarcastically when your points weren't clear? and you didn't bother to respond to any of that and instead went straight to attacking my reads? none of that happened?In post 148, marcistar wrote:hes not really trying to make me see the light of thingsI will straight up disregard all reason if you have a PR dream again.

Askhually, 131 is before 133, but OK, your point that you were skeptical at the time datisi raised it but elected not to bring it up until I mentioned it again was because you assumed datisi would tell the truth about his own selfmeta is noted. I can buy that.In post 147, Dunnstral wrote:When you talked about it later, it was also shortly after Datisi brought it up again in post 133 response to post 82, and I was more skeptical about it at this point.-

Alot of the posts you've been making i feel like are very nonwelcoming for responses I feel like you dont *actually* care about what I say, i feel like you're just being agressive to me even though im trying my best to read you... I dont really think you asking me questions is trying to make me see the light of things... why arent you trying to point out proof of why i have to be wrong instead?In post 151, Datisi wrote:

You cant deny "is this a joke" is a nonwelcoming thing... how was i meant to respond to that? It obviously made me feel like my line of thinking is not good in your eyes, so to me it just looks like u were trying to agressivly make me shut up..
i know im not really good at explaining things but it doesnt really look like youve wanted to help me at all..
When did I ever dismiss anyone sacrastically, and when did you try to talk to me about it? I don't remember it.-

it sounds like you're saying "you're like this as town" -> "i expect you to be like this as mafia too" -> ??? -> "so the way you acted makes you scum"
and i don't get what the missing step there isso, so, sohard for you to understand what im seeing... but okay!
datisi being town just seems more unlikely, i think theres more benefits for scum him to ignore the votes on him.. whats so hard to understand about it???
i'm not inviting, no. but i said what i find to be scummy posts from you and it's on you to try to change my view. i don't plan on begging you to explain yourself to me because i don't think you're approaching me in good faith at all.
"why arent you trying to point out proof of why i have to be wrong instead?" your reasons for scumreading me are (1) i voted someone fire voted and (2) weird speculation about my personality. i have no way to respond to (1) because that's not why i voted vpb but i'm obviously going to say that. and there are a shit-ton of other reasons why someone would vote someone in rvs to the point i don't believe that to actually be a genuine read from you. and (2), i asked you why you came to the conclusions you did about my personality and translated it into a scumread? you ignored it?
before you ask where:
like, the confidence and annoyance you're showing about your reads grossly mismatch the actual confidence you should have and the quality of those reads.In post 133, Datisi wrote:
and i would not do this as town... because...? like if you think i as town am insecure and doubting myself, why wouldn't i respond the same way as town? like, this whole explanation goes from how you've seen me as town, making conclusions about my personality, then attributing those conclusions to my scumgame as opposed to my towngame for ??? reasonsIn post 106, marcistar wrote:LIKE I THINK THAT BASED ON THE PERSONALITY I THINK HE HAS, I WOULD THINK HE WOULD THINK NOT REACTING TO THE VOTES WOULD BENEFIT HIM AS SCUM.

@marci - you mentioned a few things you didn't like about Datisi's readslist but I don't think those being different from your reads is a decent reason to find him scummy, especially this early - like I'd even agree with you that I don't think I've been super helpful yet, there's a decent number of people who barely exist in-game yet and I likely won't be doing a ton until everyone at least attempts to show up. You mentioned your opinion of his Meuh read already, but what do you think about Bell since they're Datisi's 2nd highest scumread? Also, do you have another player you think is particularly scummy aside from Datisi at this point?-

Datisi acting as if it's surprising for people to be critical of him not engaging with the push rubs me the wrong way too.
i didn't say it was surprising. where did you get that idea?
Also, Marci going against a scumread on me? That’s new. I was expecting her to scumread me by now-

Yall talk way too much lol and they're giant posts... I told myself I was tryharding, and only giving 125 solid posts, but like, I can't stand reading all of them, ok um
So first off marci.
Even making the read I was debating if I wanted to townlean that slot, then was like "ehh we'll go for it" cause like, it's not like the reads aren't gonna change, anyways, I hated that post marci had like right before I entered, and it was followed by bad ones, like, I don't get why 106 was made to be giant, just to have a bunch of tiny ones after, like, a bunch of posts just responding to 1 post after another, and it's not even like a reply.. it's just you commenting on 119, 120, 121, 124, like, all seperate posts, so then why is 106 a wall? if for any reason other than this is some maf plan... idk, I'm not loving it
then you went back to going at datisi, cause that's like everyone's "go to" thing this game? you said this
> i know im not really good at explaining things but it doesnt really look like youve wanted to help me at all..
umm why would datisi want to help you??
your posts have just gone downhill, and you seem super focused on interacting in the past, like, everything is just responding to someone else, and some of those responses aren't great, and I see like no original thoughts, I really do not tr marci this game, like at all.
~~
Why am I bringing this up? well, I said I was town leaning marci, and I KNOW someone else here was calling marci town, I saw that catching up. like, no... nothing from marci's play seems too towny, and honestly, I'm thinking the largest red flag is like, the 1 wall of responding to posts... followed by a bunch of individual posts, like, that's maf realizing it'll take a while to hit 125 that way, and literally just going "I need more posts cause more posts = townier"-

A good part of me wants to call Luke town for not knowing who I am tbh, cause I know someone in maf chat has said who I am, it's not hard to figure out, but then I think about it, and Luke says he looked at my "1 game, and I didn't out reads there" ok sure, but I definitely outed myself that game, so like, you didn't see that happen? but you read it? interesting... idk, it's not a solid read I'd die on, but found it worth mentioning.
I'm locktowning gorilla, like, if gorilla is maf, rip us. cause I think gorilla is extremely towny, and I'm actually kinda amazed cause after the first 2 posts I was like "no. gorilla is maf, this is so bad" but literally everything else has been amazing.
I'm currently confused by Val. Why are you writing a giant wallpost, as if you're concerned about postcap now.. when your entrance of "vibes and a vote" was supposedly for this huge reason? like, if you're so concerned about posts why not add that explanation to the post of nothing? this is a lot like marci where the actions aren't adding up, cause town concerned about posts doesn't have basically a naked vote, and a comment about the setup, FOLLOWED by giant walls, 131 just.. does not fit with the rest of that ISO
like, Val you can't be serious asking
> What exactly is it you mean by your eyes glazing over, with respect to both myself and lavarmanos?
it's just 4 giant paragraphs.. there's no TLDR or anything, and yeah, I definitely could only skim them the first time I looked-

Yeah, I mean, looking at it I kinda fiured there was no strong reason for the gorilla vote, but still, you picked someone who showed up, and put an RVS vote in a ood way to go, like, who actually thinks we get anything by pressuring Datisi in RVS? I think that entire wagon was dumb, and people lost our good opportunity to actually get something from the first wagon.In post 96, Gammagooey wrote:@Kovu - at the time I voted gorilla I had no read on them whatsoever fyi. Their posts this page especially are p. good so far tho. Also think that the amount of effort you seem to be putting into analyzing the first 3 pages of the game is prooobably overkill but that's mostly just my personal thoughts of what actually matters/what's actually alignment relevant being usually not distinguishable from just people being themselves this early on; as long as you're not committed to those being Important Reads 4 Life tho you do you though, it'll at least be useful for people reading you
Overkill? so you're thinking I'm maf? trying too hard? well, I know I can easily hit 125 posts as soon as the game starts. So I just collected my thoughts and waited till most people said something, like, sure I had soe reads as stronger than others, but when you have reads on a good 9 or 10 people, it only makes sense to comment on the rest? it's not like people's ISOs were huge, and yeah I comment on entrances, always have always will. so overkill? lol no. I know you weren't the only one who hated me "trying too hard" but hey, I'm here to play, this is the me yall get.
OH!! one more thing I noticed, that isn't related to what I'm quoting. The thread froze when I dropped a readslist. No comments. No talking.. Everyone just got quiet. that was sus, idk what it means, but I was fullying hoping to have someone to talk to. no.. you all got quiet and that was that, like what, I asked almost all yall a question, easy to keep a conversation going, but yeah that was sad-

And my friend. Who I SR the most, how could I forget you. you have not improved like at all, and I really wish more people would've put pressure here, but whatever. So first:In post 91, LavarManos wrote:
Meh, I don't agree that it was a good post. I don't see why early bandwagon votes are that bad, but I do think it still is generally thought of as "scummy". So I thought Dunnstral was taking advantage of that to wk Datisi.In post 81, Kovu wrote:Why are you squinting your eyes at 50? It was a really good post, you just agree with the terrible 2 votes? Like, seriously, what do you think of Val and Tako.
For Val, nulltown maybe? Tako genuinely could be scum though. I can agree that the content is not great there.
VOTE: Lavar
Woah a vote! I know!!
HOW WAS VAL NULL TOWN FOR "VIBES" AND "ROLE STUFF" like, the only thing I can really think is you're maf here who just knows Val is town, and so that makes it a lot harder for you to see how anyone could see Val as scummy, like, a good answer to that was "I want more content from them" not "I can agree the content is not great" like, the content you're commenting on is essentially nothing, plenty of recent posts to comment on, so I do look forward to your thoughts when you're back
> I don't see why early bandwagon votes are that bad
You don't see why bad votes that even now both claimed as legit votes, is a bad thing? like, I always assume people have a reason for their vote, even RVS, there's a reason behind why people pick who they pick so Dunn called them out, now both are like "that was a legit vote!!!" but notice how no one assumed either had reasoning for their votes? yeah, cause they were bad votes. but you thought nothing there..
Since you like direct questions, when you're back I have stuff I'd love from you, in order of importance, so like if you're only answering 1 or 2, answer the top ones plz.
1) What are your current reads looking like? - Doesn't have to be a reads list, just wanna know who you're TRing/SRing
2) What was wrong with Meuh "doing too much" ??
3) kinda in response to 91, at no point did I say you had to view 50 as a good post, I just wanted to know why you said you were squinting your eyes at it?? like if the answer was just "dunn was taking advantage" like, I'm confused, I need help understanding please-

So I had a thought, cause fire has been standing out to me, like, when I'm sitting here and thinking about my reads on people, fire, I just go "hasn't fire been talking about postcap a lot??" and I had some suspicions..
If you wanna play a game, just guess how many of fire's 16 posts are discussing the postcap, answer is in spoilers
Spoiler: Fire discussing the postcap
So like, if anyone was truly concerned, WHY would you waste so many going "OMG postcap!!" that just feels really odd to me. Like, yeah I'm concerned myself, but like, at the end of the day if I hit it I hit it, and I'd rather not put all my thoughts into 1 unreadable block, but like, obviously I'm still maximizing posts but I'm not wasting posts to yell at people about it?? and shut down conversation..
(even though to shut down conversation all I have to do is post apparently, like yes.. Kovu was destined to do bad thing, but Kovu wanted to be good, no need to fear me...)-

@Kovu: I think that... it’s hard to change how you think about games entirely. But I’m not mad or angered at you. That’s genuinely how I see your play and I was frank about why I might interact with you less. Similarly, Val asked a question about your play and I answered the way I best think you’re read.
I’ll post more relevant content later tonight.
