i summarized my read on rej here - viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2055&p=738380#p738380. it boils down to him piggybacking the same point that you and dom raised at a fairly opportunistic moment, (that he didn't even seem to fully find scum indicative, since he mentioned that the last person he saw do that specific thing was town), and then maintaining that exact same read 30ish~ hours later without seeming to make any strides to develop or expand upon his concerns. pairing that with him asking questions that go nowhere, and him outing a townread on you and dom that felt generic in a suspicious way (ie: "i am pinged the least by them") and in a way that would fit with the framework of him trying to pocket you two by piggybacking off of your concerns of me, he fits the profile for a low volume scum player that doesn't know how to get into the game but is trying to give off the impression of solving nonetheless. this isn't a read i feel particularly confident about because his content is so lacking in general
I also pushed you for the Dom stuff and the early LAMIST shit. Why are you so desperate to convince someone who isnt voting you that you are town?

Not particularly desperate to convince a wolf anything. I want to know why you ghosted twice when I brought up this particular point twice. I can show it was a valid point that you ignored. I can demonstrate that deliberately ignoring a valid point is scummy, especially when, with some more evidence, I can show it was hypocritical and done in guilty conscience.Alison wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 4:05 amI also pushed you for the Dom stuff and the early LAMIST shit.

i want to acknowledge that I have internalized this post, I just have no immediate comment and i'm too tired to dive into these two to sort them out myself right now.staypositivefriend wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 4:01 ami summarized my read on rej here - viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2055&p=738380#p738380. it boils down to him piggybacking the same point that you and dom raised at a fairly opportunistic moment, (that he didn't even seem to fully find scum indicative, since he mentioned that the last person he saw do that specific thing was town), and then maintaining that exact same read 30ish~ hours later without seeming to make any strides to develop or expand upon his concerns. pairing that with him asking questions that go nowhere, and him outing a townread on you and dom that felt generic in a suspicious way (ie: "i am pinged the least by them") and in a way that would fit with the framework of him trying to pocket you two by piggybacking off of your concerns of me, he fits the profile for a low volume scum player that doesn't know how to get into the game but is trying to give off the impression of solving nonetheless. this isn't a read i feel particularly confident about because his content is so lacking in general
in all honesty, my urist read might be more OMGUS-y than i would like to admit. i really disliked the timing of him choosing to scumread me, and i especially hated him reiterating that exact same scumread after a lengthy period of silence while he chose to ignore my questions, and did not engage w/me directly. i find his confidence hard to swallow in general - i pointed out two posts from him that mildly pinged me last night (viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2055&p=736928#p736928) and (viewtopic.php?p=736929#p736929), and my concerns were doubled when i noticed that his super confident scumread on long con seemed to have disappeared??? he made no mention of long con in most recent ~list of reads~ (viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2055&p=737695#p737695) in spite of very much carrying the mindset of: "long con can not be town" in most of his posting before that point
I want you to tell me what you're thinking about with regards to the game.

i've already addressed that point. It's not a playstyle issue unless your playstyle is making nonsensical and bullshit reads based on flimsy reasoning. So no I didn't ghost anything.c4e5g3d5 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 4:09 amNot particularly desperate to convince a wolf anything.

Alright well let's call them that for now. Why couldn't that be a playstyle? Don't shit players exist? I refuse to see a response of "guys he's scum" as an actual response to the point.Alison wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 4:12 ami've already addressed that point.

his post confused me back there because I thought he was talking about himself but then you told me it was about Jack and I said oh whatever and forgot about itSloonei wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 4:10 amI want you to tell me what you're thinking about with regards to the game.

I've had three separate issues with you - your early forced tone, your push on Dom, and your reason for clearing Martin. I find it unconvincing that all of them can be explained away by "well maybe c4 is just a bad town player".
It's a little like player salad, but instead of sprinkling random names in, they're clinging onto spots of AI that they can anchor on (vibe with falcon, the twtbaw post). I think that clinginess is indicative of being lost and needing those small things you're confident on to help figure out where you're at.Esooa wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 4:17 amdon't really think it's a real or good read
@KZA how did you interpret this post as TSP talking about himself?TonyStarkPrime wrote: ↑Mon Mar 01, 2021 6:45 pm Scumreading Sloonei is a tactic for keeping him alive until d2 and is therefore NAI
I am not Alison, but this does not feel like a productive use of your time or energy to me. In my experience, desperate pleas like this one (and it does come off as desperate on some level. Not saying that you personally are desperate here) rarely if ever succeed at convincing anyone of anything. If you are town, the best way for you to demonstrate that would be to continue hunting and solving the game alongside other town players.c4e5g3d5 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 4:09 am Not particularly desperate to convince a wolf anything.

Oh I thought you were asking if that was the correct post so I said yeah
Hey I'm gonna die, if not now, in a couple days, so if I wanted to play as pro-town as possible I'd sub out in the hopes of getting someone townier in this slot, but that feels like it would be in even worse spirit. I decided early that I wouldn't be able to clear myself at this rate, so I decided clearing other people was the next best thing I could do. Chop and Martin were my choices, and the rest is history.Sloonei wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 4:28 amI am not Alison, but this does not feel like a productive use of your time or energy to me.

I would also caution against accusing others of engaging in unfair rhetorical practices too often. That does not build trust.
This is me calling out your defeatism.

I have long given up on making anyone trust me. Even for the people that townread me I am the guy nobody talks about. Call out my defeatism all you want.

If this is so, then what has been the point of your exchange with Alison on this page?
You seem to want Alison to see you as honest here. You frame it as a suspicion against her, but the motivation comes across more (to me) as you wanting to be town-read than wanting to catch mafiers.c4e5g3d5 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 4:09 am Not particularly desperate to convince a wolf anything.

I see variations of this argument every game I play and it has about a ~rand chance to be rightstaypositivefriend wrote: ↑Tue Mar 02, 2021 4:35 am c4's response to pressure reminds me quite a bit of how i can get under pressure too - accusatory and frustrated - especially if i feel like my points are being misunderstood/unacknowledged
i think the core of the source of foresight's frustration today is probably stemming from the feeling that he is being misunderstood - and seeing posts that increase the feeling of: "No One Gets Me" probably makes him double down in that frustration and spend too much time getting caught up in trying to defend himself
maybe he's just a wolf and im getting fooled too easily, but i do think his emotion is genuine. and i do think that specific type of emotion is typically more town indicative than not
