New Year Dance Party [afterparty]

[Meuh]

I think Ari's wrong, but I also think she's town for being wrong. There's a gap in mentality I think she'd be trying to bridge if she's scum.

can you go further on that because I'm not sure I understand what you mean.

I think scum!Ari would back down and basically just tell you that you're right, and her fully affirming what she's saying means she isn't trying to appeal to others (and therefore is town). Unless you two are both scum but I don't see it.

Okay this is just scum, the tone here is horrendous
Either way the pairing goes I want midwaybear dead ASAP

How tho? There's no way ur this confident based on those two posts

Meuhhh are you a wolf

[UNOwen]

do you still think midway is wolf? i asked you about this but i don't think you answered

I did ignore you, but now I feel bad.
Yes. The reason for the initial sketchiness was that his claim of being worried about the game state read unnatural to me. The current dawdling is awkward so also not good.

[midwaybear]

oops messed that up and also

I mean I could be overthinking a simple question, but I also felt VPB's entrance and posts so far aren't what I expected (I remember VPB as pretty down to business, not overly fluffy)

I think this is bad
midwaybear there brings up having the general stance that VPB's entrance was something to pick apart but specifically went after a basic question he asked. Like if midway's town, they'd just say "VPB's being too fluffy" rather than attack that specific question if that makes any sense?
It feel dishonest and opportunistic, just blegh, esp since I'm leaning town on VPB (709 and 711 both have a townie mindset)

I don't how choosing to attack VPB for a specific post vs attacking his overall posting makes me opportunistic. And honestly, wouldn't attacking overall posting result in a more vague attack that's easier to defend? IMO it's generally more difficult for scum to pinpoint specific things they don't like about someone's posting. It's easy to attack someone for being "too fluffy".

That does not match how I see scum!ari playing in the game she posted. Do you have experience with her as scum you can point to that I can look at that would back up this claim?

Those two posts were real bad, plus 561 still sucks

Pedit: I do think specific examples of behaviours are useful, but I think there's a disconnect between you singling out that post as if it was the main problem when right after, there seems to be a wider issue of fluff in your eyes. It's off.

Nope, I'm a townie!

Nah I've never played with scum!Ari, nor do I think I need to have experience with people's scum games to read them. If you have evidence that this is what Ari would do as scum you can send it over, but I think the confidence in her stance here is town indicative

[Thestatusquo]

I just think this is a very player contextual point, different players definitely have different levels of people pleasing in their scum games, so its kind of weird to me that you would just make a blanket statement like that and apply it to ari as if its a universal maxim.

For what its worth I think good scum players tend to not behave like you're describing at all as a general rule.

Ok, I can understand how it comes across as a bit unnatural, but I don't see how you're making the step from "oh this is off from midway" to "it's opportunistic scum"
cuz I think off stuff comes from town a lot of the time and I really don't see what makes that moment scummy

I mean, to not be unnecessarily cryptic, I think this comes off as TMI but I'm not like entirely sure how to verbalise that except I think it's a really easy townread to give out, especially to someone like Aristeia. From my experience with Ari I think she is less likely than the average person to back down in an argument, and I think the average person does not back down in an argument very often at all. I guess I also think scum has a tendency to mediate arguments in this way.

wow actually that was not as difficult to verbalise as I thought it would be

[Thestatusquo]

Yeah it seemed like a very easy throwaway "this is town v town" post that scum makes all the time because they know both players are town.

[Thestatusquo]

Makes it unlikely we live in an Ari-Meuh S-S world, for sure.

bruh if i was wolf I woulda paired with cakez already

[Thestatusquo]

unless you want to make that exact argument?

[Thestatusquo]

it costs you nothing to wait so...

I really need to get into this PT with Owen.

are you gunna do what I'm going to do and only use your PT to flirt with your dance partner?

[NorwegianboyEE]

only thing concerning me about ari is the fact she keeps buttering norwee up for some reason.
i kind of townread her for at least saying she would dance with me. Though I guess that is easy to fake when she didn't actually go through with it.

He is quite handsome and I don't think it's fair to blame me for you not offering to dance with me.

i wasn't in a rush to dance with anyone this game. i wanted to scumhunt a bit. u blaming ur impatience on me is also not fair imo.
i was thinking u were in my top 3 picks

Ugly is the man who is jealous. Tsk tsk.

Given ausuka is probably scum, I can see this happening.

[Thestatusquo]

idk, I really liked how ausuka picked up on what I was just picking up on with meuh, didn't feel like she was trying to pocket me but could be wrong.

ok wolftar

[Ausuka]

I mean I should probably be reading town vpb games for reference but i think he has the exact same shit-stirrer vibe he had in the large we played together

i have never played dance games, is it normal for scum to pair together
