The Syndicate

Jimmy has said I can let you guys know that I've requested a replacement for my slot.

NAI, just have RL stress kicking my ass right now and it's making this game feel more like yet another chore to get to and making me grumpy and stressed whenever I am here.

Have fun tho, and thanks for inviting me [mention]MacDougall[/mention] ! I'd like to come back and try out Syndicate games some other time, I like this place.

My final request is for there to be more thirsty gifs of both Ellen Page and Joseph Gordon Levitt. This is an Inception game, people, get your act TOGETHER.

Why would you say you usually get mislynched?

Lol jinx

I like Long Con’s posts I’ve seen in the last couple pages. His list of iaafr pings at least felt very real to me, and I like that he stopped the case he was making because he was worried he was getting into an unproductive confirmation bias tunnel on iaafr’s ISO. Felt like a town worry.

@eva readslist when I get back

ya, sure

what do you make of the current wagons?

Seems like the people being discussed has stayed pretty static since yesterday, which I don’t love. Exceptions would be Elephant and nova, whoever they are (haven’t even seen the latter). And your wagon is new I think.

I saw Drago mentioning that Eva was the lead wagon at some point and then it collapsed and became Elephant, so I’ll be curious to look how that happened later.

Class starting tho byeeee

I recall in hypnagogic you tend to get MLed because of low posting but other regulars here were saying your tone as town is actually really good.

Are you low posting this game? If not y do you think you’re getting heat?

Got a few minutes before an evening class, gonna try to at least read the last few pages. Anyone got any questions / requests to make the time I have more effective?

on that note I'm going to bed :P

will try to be more pleasant tomorrow, and like i said will hopefully actually catch up and have a better day and all.

Can someone who Hyena actually reads instead of skimming explain that when I say "I have never townread Pawn", what I meant is "I have never townread Pawn, you are objectively provably wrong on that", not "I am taking my townread of Pawn back"?

this is absurd lmao

@PawnLelouch (hopefully that has no spaces, if it does i give up on tagging) not to repeat d1 of finals, but what's your read on Eva rn? I see that you are in more heat than she is but I am far from caught up and left before you showed up at all.
Right here. :P

(via Google translate) "Pawn has more heat, so let me give my scum partner, who I'm townreading, a chance to be towny by talking about Eva right now."

........what??????????????????????????????/

I asked where I townread Pawn, because I never did.

this does not answer my question. You are redirecting to making a case that Pawn and I are w/w, which does not address the fact that I have never called Pawn town in any post in the game.

this makes no goddamn sense. I am asking you when it was that you thought I townread Pawn, considering I said I hadn't even read any of Pawn's posts.

Honest question: does townread mean something different to you? what do you even mean when you say I townread Pawn at some point? Can you explain what the word means to you?

and I'll stop overexplaining when you start reading my posts and stop needing explanations lol

and saying things like "Spiny, who has had no interactions with Pawn and just said a second ago that she has read none of his posts, is townreading him" and then doubling down when questioned on it

not gonna quote that whole thing @Hyena but i only specifically object to the last one

"more fencesitting :P"

no. i just straight up, by no stretch of the imagination, ever townread Pawn. I said to him "hey I haven't seen any of your posts because I left before you, here is a question for you". that is 110% of our interactions at the point where you said I was calling him town.

you can't just manufacture a nonexistent townread on Pawn and then call me "fencesitting" lol

point out where specifically you got the impression I was townreading him with a quote please?

oh god not RNG voting

what's this forum's stance on RNG voting anyway

on my homesite i would say it'd be NAI it pisses off townies so much that it's inherently a distraction that leads to playstyle debates and thus anti-town

oh for fuck's sake, thought the first version of that post didn't go thru or get submitted because it led me back to the "review new posts before submitting" screen

hate that "review new posts" feature

hate it

how do you have a strong favorite read of iaafr but "who dat" 112 when all of iaafr's meaningful posts/interactions were with 112 lol this read fake

I've been reading and avoiding posting until I finished catching up, bc sleepy and not feeling chatty tbh. but this one stuck out enough to need to reply in the moment.
This one? This is what it was? Of all the posts you latched on to this? I mean I quoted the point I liked from iaafr and it was about Mac. And then he challenged me to a duel and I liked that too. So not all of the meaningful posts/interactions are about 112.

I’m not generally one for individual post construction, but it’s ... interesting ... (someone kill me) that the first half has no punctuation and the latter half does. That shows different curator styles, or that both parts were written separately, or its a player thing I don’t understand because I’ve never played with spiny creature before. Slight lean scum though for the first possibility: in a normal world town would never make such a mentality shift from one half to another, but there are conceivable reasons. The second and third possibilities are NAI.
gone thru mentions. I switch between caps / no caps and punctuation / no punctuation a lot, it is indeed NAI for me. ig it is the difference between shitposting register and longer-sentences register, but it doesn't mean I thought about the punctuated sentences more; I don't edit any of my posts as any alignment unless they're very long and making a complicated case.

and as for the first paragraph: yeah it was weird. I stand by that. missing all of the 112/iaafr pocket-not-pocket conversation means you skimmed the thread, so even if it's true you missed forming an impression on iaafr it was weird to me to then have 10 different reads if you hadn't read a great deal.
Yeah not making any sort of claims on that deep of post analysis on a player I’ve never played with. Just pointing it out.

I didn’t skim. I read the posts. I registered what was being said. I had no opinion.

Was asking "which one's 112" (or whatever the wording was) rhetorical / snarking, then, not an actual "who dat" question?

Cause my read on that specific post was based on assuming it was the latter.

Cause that's an important distinction for why that specific read of yours felt fake to me.

Creature wrote: ↑Sun Oct 27, 2019 6:46 pm Oh oops, Spiny indeed has an avatar

rename yourself to spiky creature tbqh

i heard a rumor (aka skimming the last couple of pages of thread) that you were spewed town at some point. i can see that. your intro posts seemed very good to me.

I see 3 votes on Epi. Anybody wanna enlighten me on the case against him?

dumbread: "anybody wanna enlighten me on the case" feels like forced tryhard wording. trying hard to sound clever and not all that bluntly invested in Epi wagon. /dumbread

idk I don't like it. Will watch out to see if that's just how Drago talks.

At this point I'd say light town read on Eva.

And I'm not really seeing the heat honestly? Hyena is the only vote on me and he is quite literally a joke vote I dared him to make. Most people just have me as a null right now as far as I can tell.

aight noted. no reasons for the light town read, though?

And gotcha, I was just getting a loose impression from seeing that you were one of very few players on the board. and i scrolled past someone somewhere talking about lynching you on an earlier page where i was tagged.

Hyena wrote: ↑Sun Oct 27, 2019 7:02 pm Spiny and Nanook townreading Pawn? What's this?

wat

I asked him a question and said I was asking him it because I hadn't read any of his posts yet

are you reading my posts

how do you even jump to me townreading him

that said, I gather that you votehop as you remember people and form new reads, based on how much I've seen you voting just in the past few pages.

so if it was just a stray thought from you and not a continued tunnel i find it less static. and therefore less weird.

Hyena wrote: ↑Sun Oct 27, 2019 6:46 pm Oh wait, I totally forgot about Spiny not directly confronting me about liking too many people.

[VOTE: Spiny Creature] aubergine

*narrows eyes*

I wasn't gonna make too much of it when it was just a throwaway thought from you, but when it's repeated with the exact same wording ("directly confronting me") 12 hours later, that feels like a static read. and maybe forced.

me in one post: "I'm still catching up and wasn't feeling like replying while still reading, but I do want to reply to this one specific thing from Tony"

me in the very next post: "now that i'm posting i might as well post the loose vibes I have on about 5 people so far, including a vague half-remembered read on Hyena, but these are not replies just memories"

like... dude, the lack of direct reply to you is explained. also "directly confront" as if my read on you wasn't as weaksauce as "I think I remember X scummy thing about Hyena, but not sure, will finish catchup first".

tunneling me for not replying directly to you, when I hadn't replied directly to ANYONE IN THE GAME except for Tony, and then repeating the same wording to explain the scumread 12 hours later, just feels insincere to me.

so far you are an easy townread to me (actually the easiest), which makes me nervous only because I don't think you are easy to read in general. and in finals when you were town you were a townread, yes, but not an easy or pure one, just like a "I think eva is always like this and it's not scummy" one.

that said, the effortlessness of your savage-tone posting, and the fact that your conversation with Drogo, while meaningless shitposting, actually led you to have a read on him by the end, feels like v easytown to me.

should I be nervous about this read y or y not? :P
Yeah, you should be nervous. You're probably reading "not stressed out by champs" as "town" here: as Pawn would tell you, I'm never certain anything D1.

Keep watching me; generally I slip somewhere in my tapdancing by D3/4 if I'm scum. (Like in WC1 with my hotdogs thing.)

thanks for reply.

anyway Eva is town. and not JUST because her savagery in response to Drago's flirting attempts was the most beautiful effortless thing she's ever done. (more because of her responses to iaafr and 112). Her read that Drago continuing that flirting so long was trying to force conversation, thus scummy, was not one that would've occurred to me, but ig she could be right there.

I do not understand where iaafr's "always town" read of 112 started or came from or what the vibe is that he likes, even though he has since made posts explaining it. i like other posts of iaafr and his overall tone, but that whole read is so ???? to me.

lol at Mac saying he's policy never-lynching me and then immediately asking other people to build a case on me :P that and some overly defensive early posts / questioning things I thought were obvious had me side-eyeing him. but i liked his later posts. will see how he engages with Eva.

I do vibe with IAAFR saying that there's too much "hey i like this guy" and "this guy can be town" going on. from loose recollection Hyena and Epi felt like offenders there. Hyena maybe felt less sincere? this is loose memory.
This is one of the ones.

Spiiiny~

Why didn't you directly confront me about me liking too many people?

don't have the context here as to what "this is one of the ones" refers to

i said explicitly in two different posts that I wasn't commenting until I had caught up, but then once I broke that idea to reply to Tony i was like "all right I guess I'll just post my thoughts then"

why are you asking someone who had 9 posts, half of them intro posts, why they hadn't talked to you directly yet. just seems odd.
