    Coming out of that whole thing fairly strongly townreading dC and weakly townreading fonti.

    From fonti's side, I could see her perspective of the argument (the bit where she broke down what dC was doing in three points and pointed out that 2 and 3 didn't line up ) and kind of... vibed with it / agreed with it? She actually hung in there with dC's obsessiveness but it wasn't like she was shanking him, it was more like she was kind of.... eh, can't think of a good word. Lack of agenda-y, basically.

    From dC's side, the sheer, like... pointlessness of the thing, plus the fact that he couldn't seem to let it go, just... yeah, that's just town!dC I think? dC was the one who was like, obsessively TMI'ing all over the thread in the one game he was a wolf, and wanted to like, look good, look productive, all that shit. This is just diametrically Not That.

    Both these reads are more meta than I like, but I think I'd at least be reading dC town with zero meta.

    This made me chuckle.

    I tend to town read people who make me chuckle.

    Okay. For a second there I was going to be HUH? (I can't remember why my partners wanted to kill you, but I thought it was a good idea to break you and dyachei up.)

    It was some random shit where I didn't actually mention any of you d1 much so killing me didn't trace back to any of you so it seemed like a safe option.

    That's a pretty solid summation of your whole mafia shtick, dC.

    Looking back over her posts in WoWmafia, I will concede that the points I was complaining about between the two games are similar rather than identical. She jumped on dC for entering this game with an image and a vote; she started scumreading me in WoWmafia for entering with an image and a vote but also my reasoning, though she was slower to get to that point. Cripes, this is going to take me forever to pull up and all I want to do is just go back to bed at this point.

    The alignment prod and shade against fonti is the same as against Vaimes last game in that both should have known her behavior/meta better, though in one case because she explained it to fonti and in the other because she shared a scumchat with Vaimes.

    The general notion about dC being scummy comes across as the same way she approached my first posts last time.

    Her prod against fonti on seriousness comes across as the same way she was prodding me for being too serious at the start of the last game.

    The banter with Tammy is the same so /shrug/.

    At the moment, I feel a little better than I had, but I'm still not happy about how closely she's playing to WoWmafia at least with regards to you.

    You aren't as serious at the opening of the game as you were in your last scumgame we played in together. You've come across lightly, making more jokes. When you have become serious, mostly in response to Gemma's read of/prodding you, and a little bit so with dC, it still doesn't feel like the way you addressed me in Mimefia, but more the way you have been when talking to me in RWBYmafia(one instance being that I'd misremembered you as playing in HPmafia when you were actually a mod of that game and you played along to see where I was going).

    Does that make sense?

    Just before we go further, I want to comment on this. Could you please in the future jot down things like this when you're making votes? It clears up confusion(see your Vaimes vote in the middle of the lulz/dC stuff). I never got the sense that this is why you were voting him at the time.

    I'll have to give this a sharper glance, but what I felt from him the first time is in line with his town play.

    Not to burn recently mended bridges, but this sounds like the same thing that I was doing to you last time, so could you please take a breather and look at his play again and see if you feel the same way?

    Okay, that's fair enough.

    The same could be said of fluff so far, but given what happened last game, that's fair enough. At the moment I still think that this is more in line with how he plays early as town. He, fluff, and Vaimes tend toward lighter play styles- high posts, but little meaningful contribution early in the Game.

    I'll have to look at his question to Fable then.

    I'll look at Fable as well after Jan to see if I agree here.
