I think we should kill gypyx because she feels way different here than she did in touhou to an almost insane amount. She was reckless and didn’t give a single solitary fuck there but here she’s just reisen

This is a copy-paste from a PUBLIC PUBLISHED scum discord/PT from the finished Tenet game:


Gypyx / Qwickzz_

12/11/2020 2:01 PM
Oh fuck
Ok cool


Cabd

12/11/2020 2:02 PM
yeah this is a stacked player lsit on both sides
it's not like either side got "oops all lurkfucks"


Gypyx / Qwickzz_

12/11/2020 2:02 PM
I'll try to set up a strat where we talk to the other timeline with a specific color, do y'all think this will give me townpoints?

Oh fuck, now there's pressure

Cabd

12/11/2020 2:03 PM
i mean, i do the best under pressure

cephy

12/11/2020 2:03 PM
i think that's a solid idea

Gypyx / Qwickzz_

12/11/2020 2:03 PM
I completely crumble under pressure

Just so folks who weren't there for Tenet have a sense of the meta we're talking about.

I actually liked Gypyx's early scum read on me and refusal to back down when I engaged with her. It's a weird choice to lock-scum read me when scum!Gypyx knows I'll be breathing down her neck and watching her closely.

I agree that there is a notable play style difference here compared to Touhou. But I attribute that to the crazy pace of the game more than anything.

She also completely disappeared on Day 1 as Town in Kemusan so I am happy to give her more time.

I've seen scum Gypyx much more recently than 2020 and she seemed very confident there. Very different game than this, granted.

You might have more luck if you explain why you’re NOT Town reading me and seeing how people respond vs. calling me scum with no explanation and expecting people to feel the same way!
I'd rather die than scumcase someone after the disaster that have been my reads lately

I am not looking to get into a battle to the death. I don't find your hesitance to townread me all that surprising given our recent history, and I actually think certain players have given me a free pass this game that I haven't earned (which I will address at some point), since nothing I've really done has been outside of my scum range imo

I do take issue with your initial (seemingly) confident scum read on me crumbling immediately upon calling you out and asking you to elaborate.

I'd love to rekindle what we had in Kemusan if you're Town here, so a good first step would be to explain why you're scum reading me, or actually doing something about it!
Still curious about your explanation for scum reading me if you could give that.

You'll find that you are no longer alone in those sentiments if that makes you feel better!
Well, to put it in a few words my reads lately haven't been stellar, so i kinda lacked the confidence to push through and assert my read

haven't read your recent posts but basically this game, you feel like you're trying to reproduce your town style instead of actually being town?

pooky a little towny

dunn a little towny although his willingness to elaborate so much on reads already was quite surprising to me. i don't think it's scummy though, just surprising

y'all i think feel eager to dig into things which is probably a good enough sign for now that id rather let you do that, although i think the point on me is one that feels misapplied

if i were to put a bet on a scum rn i think id guess STD. that's based on almost nothing however id still take the pookybucks

firebagel feels likely to be readable given time so not worried there rn

:blossom:
I don't like either of the above from Sunflower

The first deflects morph's (imo valid) point about their fluffiness by mentioning one game where they were fluffy early on as town. By mentioning this, it demonstrates that they are aware of their town meta and therefore should have no problem replicating it, so I'm not sure the purpose of even saying this other than to try to get morph off their back.

The second post feels like scum artificially inflating the word count to look like they have substantial thoughts, idk how to really articulate it but it feels insecure to me. The ActionDan read is basically "I think town but he could be scum" which is very non-committal, so what's the point of including it in the first place? The comments about morph and STD follow this same pattern, though less explicitly. It feels like they felt the need to pad their response to morph to make it look like they were thinking about the game critically and it resulted into a bunch of "reads" that don't actually tell me anything.

These, along with their not so stellar (but not quite irredeemable!) early posts makes me happy with my vote on them.

@Sunflower:
1. What makes morph and Dunn's takes about your fluffiness "interesting" and how does this inform your read on them?
2. Can you go into more detail on the ActionDan read?

I kinda think Firebringer's closer to his scum meta than his town meta cuz I think he does more when he's town but I refuse to give him the satisfaction of voting for him because I would have to pay him like a gajillion Pooky Bucks from our bet in the scum PT.

Skitter, I am confused.

I am assuming that dance game and touhou are different games.

But Reisen was an anon account for touhou

But also, Gypyx was not Reisen in that game. She was Kagerou, right?
