Mod Notes:

Alisae replaces Xegarus!

[Alisae]

[Alisae]

Alisae replaces Xegarus.

[Shirou]

Alisae replaces Xegarus.

I will Hanzo ult you

I don't play Overwatch

for me to understand what you mean you must use a genshin character's ultimate

Please and thank you.

[Prism]

The question wasn't whether you should ask me for more depth. The question was whether you believed them at all.

An alternate world Shirou, for example, thinks my framing of feedback for Dragons is more than sincere-but-cheeky and instead actively malicious on its face. He might call for more votes and cite it as scum-indicative. Another might claim my skim defense does not absolve the underlying issue, or that I overexplained, and goes more aggressive as a result.

@Alisae take your time, no need to hurry yeah.

Hmm, maybe in the past I would have been a tryhard like that, but I don't feel like being that serious in this game (at least not yet), and even if I were serious, I don't think I know enough about you to determine with confidence whether that thought process is unusual/suspicious of you or not. Compared to the "norm" I thought it was an over-the-top reaction but I don't know neither how normal it is for you to over-react or exactly how bad your interactions with StD usually are.

My sorting philosophy is focusing on a few posts/points/behavior that I confidently think comes from a certain alignment more often than not. If I feel like a certain type of posting can relatively easily come from either alignment, I don't usually focus much on it, even if it does look suspicious.

VOTE: T3

why?

[Save The Dragons]

There are two good reasons for him specifically to vote me that way with zero substance: annoy me and see what happens, and to see how others react.

@STD are either of those the reason(s) you voted Prism?

No. I think prism is scum. That's why I voted them.

This is #10, and thus my final post of the real-life day.

Once, I found myself lost alone in a desert on a hot summer day. After many hours of walking in vain, the wind whipping the sand about my slowly-burning skin, fortune spared me a chance meeting with another lost soul. I kindly asked if they would like to travel together and split the water supply to better our odds of making it out. They eagerly accepted the offer of companionship, but declined to split the water supply. We marched on. Day turned to night turned to day again, and I continued to travel with my newfound compatriot. Fatigued and tired from the walks, they increasingly leaned on me and asked if I would not mind carrying them just a bit further as a break. They would repay the favor later. I would sporadically renew my requests for water, even asking them to pay their debt this way, but these requests were denied, and my companion insisted the favor would be returned another way.

As the day wore on, I began to despair and grow frustrated. I had run out of water of my own, and neither of us were any closer to civilization. My companion continued to be capricious with their water and grew increasingly demanding as I had not yet led us to the city. Finally, after being told again that I should have found the city already, I snapped and attacked my companion, outraged that they refused to share water and yet had the boldness to ask me to solve the predicaments and challenges on their behalf. Desperate for any amount of liquid, my civil requests long denied, I began to squeeze my companion in search of blood. To my dismay, no matter how hard I squeezed, the body was inexplicably dry.

Fatigued and sun-beaten, I lay flat on the desert and weakly gazed up at the sky, horrified at my own actions. I turned my eyes to my deceased companion only to find I had been hallucinating. My companion was a rock. It never had any water to give, and I had carried it all this way for naught. With renewed determination, I stood up and began to walk.

While I eventually reached civilization, I never went into the desert again.

I've been laughing for

five whole minutes.

I'm on my knees, in SHAMBLES.!

My nonsense rambles and analogies are NOTHING next to this...

This...this is post of the year material for me...

please teach me how to write entertaining texts like that Prism-senpai...I may even consider sharing a bit of my water with you in exchange...

No. I think prism is scum. That's why I voted them.

This was why I asked. I wondered why Prism hadn't considered you actually scum-reading them as a likely possibility.

If I'm not mistaken, by that point there were already some players expressing a bit of suspicious towards them. Added with your history of apparently misreading them, if we assume Prism is town, it felt a bit puzzling that they thought you had to be doing it for a purpose other than suspecting them.

shirou is scum

well, there isn't much to seriously discuss so I'm gonna bite this even though I'm assuming it's ironic/a joke

are you serious by any chance?

[Shirou]

Oh, I forgot to post this before the above:

Fine, fine. I'll try to stop shitposting so much for now.

Let's all play a bonafide online game of mafia, yes.

I just felt a bit guilty witnessing Prism slowly losing their sanity I guess.

(

It was hilarious though!

)

[Shirou]

VOTE: T3

why?

This one though, I cannot answer!

[camelCasedSnivy]

you called T3 town and voted him so i called you scum

[Shirou]

you called T3 town and voted him so i called you scum

Yeah but like, was it a joke or do you think that was actually scummy of me?

[camelCasedSnivy]

dude im saying youre town

[Shirou]

Yeah it's what I assumed at first but just wanted to confirm since there isn't much to talk about, sorry

It would have been really funny if you were serious about it though...

[camelCasedSnivy]

im keeping my vote on std
