    15 and 33: why are you assuming I was joking? Why is it scummy?

    I'm pretty sure Waco was joking when he said 'good point,' even I wasn't sure what he was referring to.

    I asked him because he RVS's me first all the time. It's a special bond we share.

    I mean. It wasn't all jokes. They're actual townleans, even if it was mostly fluff. We'll see how they continue to post!

    How is it reasonable and too safe? Don't push both.

    Here:

    This was your only RVS post (besides your vote). It just felt like you were trying too hard to joke around, which made me think you were nervous about faking it, which made me think you could be a Witch. I think I just feel weird about people who pop in only once during RVS instead of posting a bunch? When they're clearly present in the thread but aren't posting? Because that makes me think they don't know what to write.

    It was a very, very vague/weak feeling, and I said you might be a Witch to see what you'd do about that. And now you're voting for me! I actually didn't see that coming, to be honest.

    Also, now that you've explained your views on RVS, that kind of gives context to your only other RVS post so that might be a mistake on my part.

    I'm sorry, who died and made you queen? That /is/ when I brought it up. If you're asking 'when did you voice it [with reasoning], then sure okay, not that post.

    ---------- Post automerged at 09:16 ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 ----------

    Moridin, I think another problem I have is that you call me 'so scummy' but waited quite a while before you actually acknowledged a scumread on me. It reads like you only voted for me because I called you a Witch. You didn't really seem interested in /why/ I called you a Witch, either. You just jumped straight to scumreading me.

    What is the 'but for what it's worth' supposed to mean?

    Yeah... no.

    So..

    These are serious reads?

    There's a disconnect there. He may RVS you all the time, but that doesn't tell us why you asked him. Specifically, him, instead of me, or Cobalt, or Fluff?

    Can you expand on why they are townreads for you?

    It's reasonable because it is the kind of stuff that gets thrown around on D1. Despite that, it feels like you are having a back and forth that is constructed around a couple of key points (the soft townfirms).

    I don't know what to write. I'm not comfortable with 'random' discussions even in RL, let alone in a setting like this where a) everything I say is judged b) people are constantly commenting on weird tangents and c) it's perfectly feasible to just sit back and watch.


    Wait what? You're pulling the OMGUS card on me? lol

    Okay. This.

    This is you 'calling me out'. You don't even vote for me. You vote for Fluff, someone you hadn't even mentioned until that point (or in any real capacity since). This is your 'serious vote' (#41)? This is you saying I'm scummy? Because you can't expect anyone to take that seriously.

    When I first posted suspicion of you, I was a) partially joking and b) also posting suspicion of two others, one of whom I voted for. I finally called you out specifically as being scummy at #92, at 11:40 AM my time. I switched my vote to you at #101, at 11:43 AM my time. Seems like I moved fairly quickly. While you were in the thread at the time, your first response to #92 comes at #102, after I voted (although likely by seconds, and it's understandable given the speed of the thread). As for you calling me a witch, well, there's #55 which isn't calling me a witch by any reasonable standards, and then there's the first hint of you suspecting me in anything other than RVS at #112. Well after I voted for you.

    Either posts like #55 count, in which case, well, #48 precedes that, or they don't, in which case I voted for you well before you pointed the finger at me. Either way, claiming I pushed on you because NOU is a poor move on your part.

    'to whatever extent that it matters'

    The RVS was in full swing, and I didn't expect anybody to start taking things seriously for a while yet. I put in my vote anyway, in the hopes of provoking a reaction. It seems like that paid off, because so far you've been reacting really suspiciously.

    For now, yes!


    As scum, he sat on an RVS vote on me for all of Day 1 in Tinyhunt. So I asked him about it this time around.

    Why would I ask fluff?

    Their vibe/tone feels laid back, calm, open. I read that as towny.

    Okay.

    That's completely fair.


    If it walks like a duck, looks like a duck, and quacks like a duck. :p

    Sadly, I don't expect anyone to take me seriously.

    I planned on elaborating before bed, which I did with you and not fluff. I did you first /because/ I wasn't voting for you, whereas I planned to leave my vote on fluff to signify that I had a stronger scumlean on him than on you.

    I don't like his posts because he's all fluff (<3) and answering a mechanics question, but now that I think on it, that may have been something I incorrectly scumread him for on another forum? I need him to post more.

    Oh god, you're actually keeping track of timestamps and stuff. I don't have the energy for that.

    Given that it's something I could really easily look up (but probably won't because lazy) and refute, I'll just assume you aren't making it up and say 'okay'.

    The thread was moving quickly and you weren't posting as much as other people, which I perceived as being slow to post.

    I know what it means, I meant why did you write it. :p

    Well, I think you've been reacting well, so. Thanks for that.

    I'll just keep doing me and give you time to come around to seeing how super town I am.

    Hmm, I dunno.

    Maybe to get a reaction from someone who apparently was your strongest scumread at the time? And nice backtrack on that one, by the way. Hint: If you need him to post more, there's an easy way to arrange for that.

    I just went back over the thread and looked, lol. I said 'my time' because that's the timestamp it shows me, and I didn't want anyone to see something different and get confused.

    Stellar job so far ;)

    Based on the merge timestamp, it's literally been one minute :confused:

    Unless you were looking at the 'who is viewing this thread' thing in which case ignore this.

    I meant asking him questions. Asking someone to post is not necessarily as constructive or revealing as pointing them to a particular issue.

    And yeah, I was gone for a while there.

    Right now my only question is, 'How dare you practice witchcraft in this village and not invite me to ride through the night sky on your broomstick?'

    ---------- Post automerged at 10:48 ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 ----------

    Hi Tempus!

    How goes it?

    ---------- Post automerged at 10:49 ---------- Previous post was at 10:48 ----------

    Like I literally don't have anything to question him on, so basically any content-related post would be swell. I'm not picky.

    Plus, I kinda want to know if he actually did trust me earlier.

    @Von, pretty sure Hermonie is a DLP hunt reference.

    FWIW, I'm monitoring this Snowvon/Moridin back and forth with interest.

    Not sure if there's a reference I'm missing here, but yes it's like looking at life as an outsider... lol.

    Not sure what to make of Moridin's posts on you, but since Cobalt voted him he's probably town, unless you think Cobalt is scum too right?? Haha

    I was making a joke about rolefishing a PR that isn't in the game.

    I agree that Moridin is probably town, but not because Cobalt voted for him. I don't have any lean on Cobalt right now.

    If it's any consolation Riley had it worse than you, he even missed his own lynching.

    @Von, I still have Moridin as a null because 1) it's early and 2) I'm still balancing the feeling that he's really trying to start putting things together with the fact he's making a mountain out of a molehill.

    Apparently Lucky & Lungs have combined for 31 posts, yet I don't think I remember 1 of them

    ---------- Post automerged at 11:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 AM ----------

    Tempus, I saw no proof that he was even in the game to miss things. Kinda sad I got lynched for lurking and lack of content with the show he was putting on

    I'm my opinion Moridin just tried to check his reaction by using a soft read on random stuff, Von's reaction to it might have been too serious if it just fluffposting so he has reasons to feel suspicious.

    @Von, Thought he was more nullish than usual town meta tbh. Feel like usually he just tries stuff that looks scummy, but is town, while in the last he kinda did nothing

    Tempus, that's a fair point
