Toriel's Patience (end)

[Dannflor]

I have not hated Meuh's most recent posting in terms of analyzing the replacements

she feels pretty relaxed and natural, but I also do not think this type of posting is especially hard to fake for her

I still mostly just don't think that the amount of effort that went into her case on implosion matches the kind of understated read in 1354 and 1355

like it's not clear to me why meuh's read on implosion suddenly requires a giant case wall

yes people asked her for reasons but when people ask me for reasons i usually engage with them like one or two reasons at a time, i don't start dissecting their ISO

so it feels kind of performative and it doesn't fit with my model of how a town player would be approaching a read like that

This is irritating cause I can see where it comes from but I also can't really ever reconcile this!!
The best justification I can provide I suppose is my general mentality around the time, but I can't say I remember it super vividly and even if I did, I'm not sure it actually helps you much
To me, diving into Implo's ISO gave me that sort of feeling I get when I'm convinced I'm unravelling the game and finding things out, I get really passionate and invested and it all comes into often long posts that are kind of showing the narrative forming in my head to others. I'd say the main issue is that this feeling wasn't as fully realized as previous times? The passion and the confidence still existed but to a lower extent and it's created this weird post that isn't fully fleshed out and isn't confident in the ways I have in the past while still creating this narrative in the way those other posts did. I'd compare it to this post viewtopic.php?p=13906472#p13906472 (I'm really proud of that one actually that post is great) or this one viewtopic.php?p=13763322#p13763322
I'd say my lack of strong scumreads kind of pushed me towards feeling more strongly even with a smaller amount of scumminess, because every scummy thing felt more significant, and felt more worth sharing in a game state paralyzed by a lack of scumreads.

okay

i mean for whatever it is worth i am feeling increasingly less good about pushing your slot

[Dannflor]

i don't really feel like i have a great understanding of your read on the game outside implosion though

[Bingle]

Aight, I read a few pages at the beginning when the game first started, but I haven't had a chance to catch up since then. Are there any major points of interest?

[Isis]

Bingle replaces Brown Eyes

[Dannflor]

implosion is a slot of some contention

your opinion on dunnstral's alignment would be worthwhile

[Taly]

What were your thoughts on those first pages?

[Bingle]

I'm not traditionally good at reading Dunn, but I'll give it a go.

It was more reading for setup than for alignments, but I do remember thinking it odd that so many people didn't seem to understand the conceit of the setup. I'd have to look back to see who those people were. I don't think faking setup confusion is particularly likely here, but the setup is pretty straightforward.

We have a day where we should lim the most contentious slot, not the scummiest or the towniest. Then, we aim to hit the same alignment.

The alignment of our first lim is almost irrelevant, so long as we can manage to match it. Ideally, Dunn is also that alignment.

[Dannflor]

or we could just lim scum 2 days in a row

[Bingle]

I also remember thinking Brown Eyes was a funny user name because of the adage "You're so full of shit that your eyes are brown."

This is not particularly useful information mafia wise, but if Brown Eyes is watching from wherever replacements go (The local dump?) I hope that constipation is not a problem.

[Bingle]

or we could just lim scum 2 days in a row

Can we?

[Bingle]

I uh... just realized that my interest in the bad mech spec on the first few pages was a result of me thinking this was a different iteration of the game than what it is.

Smug judgment retracted.

[Bingle]

or we could just lim scum 2 days in a row

Can we?

This still stands as a question, but we are 100% shooting to lim scum in this version.

[Bingle]

Alisae, if I ISO you am I going to townbin you?

[Bingle]

ngl, I kinda want to vote Keyleth, but I think that might just be a tone thing.

[Taly]

why did it take me this long to townbin

implo

im just actually skimming their ISO and im not getting pinged

[Taly]

dann/implo

how do you feel about

shirou

?

[Bingle]

I think if Alisae's afk is probably broadly unrelated to alignment either way.

Was looking at implo's ISO and this kept popping up. Ali is actually significantly less likely to be AFK with a team e enjoys playing with. And I think there are a lot of people that Ali would want to scum it up with in this crew.

[Alisae]

Alisae, if I ISO you am I going to townbin you?

No

[Alisae]

I haven’t read Dunn I’m just going to wait until they get flipped

[Alisae]

Bingle can u read dann next?
He’s my top fos

[Taly]

ali

are you scum

[Alisae]

No, are you a penguin?

[Taly]

Why is

Dann

scum

[Taly]

I will not confirm or deny that I am actually a penguin
