Pokemon Battles 2 - Attack on Giratina [GAME OVER]

[WhemeStar]

I...what?

Does that not make sense I am bad at explaining thoughts

[SquirtleSquad]

I think I got tied up on the fact that you were simultaneously talking about black and and unnamed person and it wasn't clear to me who you were referring to at different parts of the thought.

[Black]

Okay so black is going on about how cakez training dummy question could be scummy and I’m like I dknt really agree with that cause I think it can just be a way to start conversation which made me think yeah he’s just trying to start conversation like in an RVS phase but then I’m like hmm why does he need to do that because the game has 20 pages of content and isn’t in RVS anymore so the harmless conversation generating question doesn’t really have a point anymore

Yeah, you're seeing it

Cakez was visibly overwhelmed at the amount of pages in one day and said he might contribute later. Then he poses a question that would add more fluff to the thread? Except this "fluff" could actually be used to determine some things about town players and their Pokemon. Seems off

[Flavor Leaf]

tinfoil that Cakez case is just scum projecting their own thoughts about the training dummy comment.

because i personally dont really think anything of it either way, and the training dummy thing didnt even cross my mind in the slightest.

[Flavor Leaf]

it's not even tinfoil, really. just a thought.

[Blue.]

But ok I think patchwork is town, I think firebringer is town very strongly, I think drew is scum. I think ranger and blue are the top of the null scum pile.

Other than that lots of null pings.

You have 5 reads in a 30 page game?

Holy deliberate misrep batman.

No, that was a genuine question - sheep asked you what your main reads were and I thought you gave a surprisingly small amount in response. I personally think there's a lot more alignment indicative content, so this was surprising to me, and I asked about it. I don't think it's impossible for a townie to not have reads, but I wanted clarity on your perspective.

You're...really on edge and treat every comment like it's a personal attack when it's not. I...don't think you're scum, probably. I'm not attacking you. Please stop reacting with such extreme hostility.

[Flavor Leaf]

Yeah, Squirtle's posting has been weird the past few pages. Feels performative.

Talking about training dummy battles can only benefit scum. There's plenty of information scum can get from those conversations. Is Player A really bad at battling? Easy target for scum potentially. Did Player A win all their training battles? Maybe they have a tough Pokemon and scum should avoid them. These are just a couple of examples on why scum might try to talk about training battles

[WhemeStar]

Mason buddy I see and respect your vote, but I am going to ask you to sheep me please

[Black]

Anyway it's not like I'm fully convinced Cakez is scum over this but I had this in my head that scum would probably approach the game this way and then someone actually did it, so I'm happy with my vote for now

Sure, I'm not questioning the case.

But town do things that benefit scum all the time. you could be right, im just bringing up my thoughts that it could be projecting what you, possible scum, could see a townie doing a scum beneficial thing and pouncing.

[WhemeStar]

Black do you have any other scum reads

[Flavor Leaf]

Mason buddy I see and respect your vote, but I am going to ask you to sheep me please

who are you voting?

I have reads and I have reads. I gave the ones I think are better than random. Lot of null pings I thought pretty clearly implied that a lot of players have pinged me in both directions and it felt like if you were engaging with my post in good faith you would have realized that instead of zeroing directly in on the people I felt strongly enough about to name.

I will once again state: I am not reacting with hostility except when you personally insult me. This is not me reacting with hostility any more than you going "you only have 5 reads in a 30 page game is?" my reaction here is completely game related. I do not think its a fair interpretation of my post to say "you only have 5 reads" and it is extremely common shorthand to boil down "there's a bunch of stuff in either direction" as null. That does not mean that I have no read there, but rather that the read is muddy. This is mafia 101.

I am once again asking you to stop trying to characterize my emotional mindstate.

THE WANNABE POKÉMON

I don't generally vote Firebringer. I sit in their pocket, and get paranoid later in the game, and hope for the best that it sorts itself out.

Ok, that makes sense, and this feels like a townie thought process

[Black]

Black do you have any other scum reads

Nothing substantial atm

[SquirtleSquad]

Further, I have been consistently calling out those alignment pings as they happen in real time so it feels completely disingenuous for you to ignore that context in order to zero in on the post I made to put my top alignment thoughts in one place in response to a question. That's why I think its a misrep. It is abundantly clear that I don't just have thoughts on 5 people, and interpreting that post to suggest that I do is actively silly if you read *gestures vaguely at all of my other posts*

[Flavor Leaf]

i dont think it was abundantly clear, and I do think SquirtleTurtle's overreacting a bit

[SquirtleSquad]

i dont think it was abundantly clear, and I do think SquirtleTurtle's overreacting a bit

I think its pretty clear you're not actually reading the game.

If only that was alignment indicative for you.

it is actually AI for me if I'm not reading the game.

It's townie of me.

[Flavor Leaf]

I don't necessarily agree I'm not reading the game, though, I'm just interacting what's right in front of me, living in the moment.

[WhemeStar]

Hmmm ok

[Firebringer]

But ok I think patchwork is town, I think firebringer is town very strongly, I think drew is scum. I think ranger and blue are the top of the null scum pile.

Other than that lots of null pings.

Pls explain ur town Firebringer stance because I’m confident I know town Firebringer vibes and these vibes are not it

Fix ur vibe meter
