It... is a little concerned by this. Ignoring the part about Sunflower, what part of ActionDan's posting was strangely reached to you? This slot is calling the player who scumclaimed as an opening scum, which it thinks doesn't need much explination? Certainly there's ways to end up on either side of that read but explaining?

You appear to be an experienced player, can you explain to it why this read in particular is rubbing you the wrong way for not explaining their conclusions when half of it appears somewhat Face Value to it?

*WE* have concerns, simultaneously and independently!


Fire seems to have taken the "Jupiter in a scum slot fluffyness" and made it a part of himself right now. And I don't like it one little itty bitty bit.

Grrrrrrr.
i was fluffier entering kemusan which you both saw so this is an interesting take

But Cabd, WHYYYYYY is this a bad thing? Don't players sorta of enjoy melding with their partners over time? Aren't you a hydra who won't sign because you expect everyone else to figure out when you impersonate each other anyways?


To those questions, I say....

It's a bad thing because this is still within the first ten games together. At that stage, melding to the degree of one player taking the other's style and running with it is something you FORCE, to muddle the waters in an innocent looking way, and cover for your now-publicly-known scumslip-posting partner.

Yes, they do, but the key phrase there is "over time"

"Yes, skill issue if you don't get us nyeh~"

In that order, more or less.

Oh and the bagel gets an official hives badge for re-entering what is very clearly a rapidly expiring RVS phase, after having already posted their opener.

I did not say I was suspecting ActionDan for not explaining their conclusions; I said that I don't agree with their conclusions, and perhaps they can explain so I know where they are coming from.

I feel I've discussed ActionDan's entire post already; I disagree with their townread and don't know where they got to the scumread (I would say null on Firebagel myself).

Sunflower is because of forces outside the main thread. I will not explain that at this time, but may before the day is through.

Firebagel was because as an alt that may very well only exist for the purpose of stealing Firebringer's scum claiming gimmick, it hadn't posted for a page.
I'll give you a moment to let that sink in

Can you explain why you are taking a hostile/adversarial position to this line of inquery? It has a hard time believing you can't see that your entrance is above the line of suspicious and overtly drawing attention, so it wants to understand what the motivation of your doing this is? What do you aim to accomplish with this tact?

actiondan is interesting to me. feel safe leaning town for now i think although scum is possible

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

It is not going to allow you to deflect a question with more questions. It will happily answer them once you answer it, especially considering your questions are sort of... basic? Like, it thinks you know the answers it is going to give to your questions, so it wonders why you ask them.

But regardless, it will answer yours once you answer its.
