medamiedo: [...] Just like Dessimu's strongest scumread was trent. [...]
HypersomniacLive: Can you point out what you take as "Dessimu's strongest scumread was trent"? I read puzzlement and frustration in his comments about trentonlf, but don't take any of it as him being his strongest scum-read.
Haven't gone back to check at all but iirc Dessimu talked most about trent's behavior being weird, having checked him as his best read on the table, and how that behavior didn't add up.
medamiedo: [...] make Hyper look good. Tell me if I'm misreading you here Hyper but your posting is pinging my gut so hard right now and I don't like you one bit. [...]
HypersomniacLive: You don't have to like me, if you're town and really don't understand what I'm doing. It's a different matter altogether, if you're scum, however.
A line of questioning doesn't always mean that he value lies solely in direct answers if given, or that said answers are expected in the first place, often the reaction to it can, and is, quite telling. You may not see its purpose because it apparently doesn't fit within your frame of how town goes about questioning and sorting things and others, and tend to read everything that deviates from it as a scum-tell and feel pretty strong about it, but you might want to keep in mind that your frame may not be the only one, or even a universally embraced one. If you're actually town, that is.
Don't like (for town). Anyway I don't think that's an accurate representation of my play? Have no issues to speak of with your playstyle at all or anyone's here!
medamiedo: [...] Not how town inquires about such a statement. No trajectory to this. I don't see any actual doubt about my alignment here, no sense of paranoia at all, this is simply dealing in empty logic and argumentation. [...]
HypersomniacLive: This is a good example. You seem to think that just because I don't jump all over people screaming "murder" when something raises my eyebrow, I can't be town. That's not exactly my style, and I can't help you if it clashes with how you expect every single town-player to carry themselves in order for you to clear them. Again, if you're town, otherwise you're just throwing shade my way to look good yourself.
I don't think I've seen anyone before self-proclaim "I'm obvitown", at least not in the tone I read in your post. You exhibit an overly cocky confidence, and somewhat of an expectation we follow your lead, and since I haven't played with you before, I'm not sure what to make of it yet - is it a genuine character trait that manifests itself in the way you play as town, or part of a play-style you've developed and use as either alignment to cover behind when scum? That's not actually a question to you, but you're free to answer it, if you feel inclined enough.
Um I dunno I just know when I'm obvtown and when I'm not I think. I guess I feel totally out of my element on this site and so I may overstate myself a bunch out of confusion? I've also felt really rushed which might not help. Not really sure where you're reading the cockiness sorry. As scum I play to what the game needs. First of all as scum I obvtown (like I am here but it would be way more because I don't really have the will to gamesolve atm so if I were scum I could be goodposting all over the place but I just feel stifled), which is probably why I've never been lynched (never been lynched as either alignment), second of all I play really pro-town in a kind of surgical way and just mislead town. So no this isn't my scumplay at all.
medamiedo: [...] Couldn't care less what lens you look at my actions from unless it's a scum one. [...]
HypersomniacLive: And another one.You overlook that, with the exception of scum, we don't know your alignment, yet you expect us to have already put you in the town-group just because you think you're obvitown in everyone else's eyes, and not only dismiss, in a somewhat contemptuous manner, any arguments by others stating reservations about you, but take them as scum-tells - "no town would ever doubt or scum-read me"; it doesn't work like that. Others' approach and thought process(es) may well differ from yours; expecting other townies to see your play in the exact way you do is not reasonable, imo, even less so since you're new to us and could well be scum trying to lead us to a mislynch.
Wow I'm so sorry if I've come across contemptuous, I don't know how that happened sorry. Am still not really sure what you're talking about wrt expecting other ppl to play a certain way sorry. Anyway maybe you're just scum trying to discredit me so I dunno how to take this.
medamiedo: [...] he backed off only temporarily in a manner that
looked more like he was reading the room than anything and then gladly put his vote back again
seemingly without caring much, and he's since stated that he didn't think that yogs was ccing which makes his play extremely anti-town.
You simply do not attempt to lynch uncced prs like that. Period. [...]
HypersomniacLive: [emphasis added]
I see that you've warmed up to trentonlf in the meantime, but imo, the bits I highlighted demonstrate how binary you approach others' play, and with strong conviction at that.
Yes, at first read, his actions looked bad. I could have easily just be on his case like you did, and later go "oh no, you may well be town after all", like you did. But I chose to question him, and keep questioning him to form an opinion on "as what alignment did he act the way he did?", and his arguments and reaction would help me in that. And his reaction is one I can see coming from a town-trentonlf more than the opposite.
It's the same reason I question you and others. It may not be the way you operate, and that's fine, if you're town, but you seem to expect everyone to operate the way you do, lest they be labelled scum, and I don't think that's actually helpful to town.
K I dunno why you keep saying this same thing? Am I really being intolerant of how other ppl are playing? Someone tell me if I'm being gaslit here?
medamiedo: [...] "I am voting yogs. Here is why I am voting yogs. Look at me voting for this wagon." [...]
HypersomniacLive: I don't agree, obviously, and have explained my vote, but you are, of course, entitled to your own opinion. Just try to remember that it's your opinion.
And speaking of opinions, two questions:
- What makes you so sure about flubbucket?
- What in Bookwyrm627's post #450 makes you say he's calling you town?
Cause he was active lurking and he's done nothing and now that he's getting wagoned he comes out. It's survivalistic scum behavior. And wrt 450 far as I remember he listed several weak reasons that were worst case a nulltown read from how I read it, waffled, never called me scum, gave no solid reasons for thinking I'm scum. It was the kind of really weak thing I see when scum try to make a case on an obvtown slot and just can't come up with anything.
Anyway sorry I don't have more time for this, I feel badly but I feel totally out of this game. I think that Flubb is scum and I've looked at rware's posts on this page and it feels strongly like townposting to me so if Lift and rware agree on something else I'll follow that too.
