But being wishywashy on anne to me feels like you're not invested in the game, which makes sense if you're scum and the miskills are flowing and so you haven't had to pay any attention to what's actually going on. So up you go.
what is your definition of wishywashy
i don't see wishywashy
a man is capable of holding more than a thought at a time
e-reading schia
okay, that's fair, wishywashy is the wrong word
the vibe that I'm getting from your anne answer though is that you're not willing to commit saying anything
God I would make an incredible eBook, ty for bringing that thought into the world
I don't know where you get the last point, namely the "not willing" bit. You asked me for my opinion, I gave the most relevant thought I'd had on the slot. I'm not going to make up a definitive stance on a slot that I don't feel definitive about - if you want a GTH read, then you can say as much, but that didn't come across in the initial reaction & everything since feels like it's in the service of calling attention to some imaginary sin I've committed of...not being 100% about Anne's alignment, and saying so? I don't get it.
Like, my original pushback wasn't that you asked me about Anne (which, again, is why I answered you). It was very sincere - and pretty intelligible imo - confusion at what led you to ask
me specifically that question. Because I find it hard to believe that's the only question you'd have about my slot (which is relevant in a
post consisting of itemized commentary on each gameslot) or that if there's deliberate elision (which makes sense from town in some circumstances) that that would be the one question worth posing. So I answered and I wondered aloud what specifically would lead you to ask me specifically.

to take a step back here, my point about the anne question isn't that it's not valid (which is why i answered it), it's that it's the sort of question that reads like it was asked for the sake of asking a question, not for the sake of solving
like, you said i haven't done much since dropping a "big catchup" post (sorry, nothing personal, i just find this wording really funny given what it's actually referring to) when really i haven't had a substantial presence at all this game - even said catchup post was just page-by-page impressions, very little actual synthesis.
i have a very hard time taking "what other things? what more urgent lines of inquiry?" seriously because like...
low content slot, middling levels of investment, EOD vote record looks weird at a glance. there are all kinds of ways to unpack that.
but "what does schia think about anne?" is certainly one of them i guess!
"it's the sort of question that reads like it was asked for the sake of asking a question, not for the sake of solving"
honestly asking you literally anything would help solve your slot because you've posted so few thoughts, so I don't know why this particular question irked you the wrong way
re: "what other things? what more urgent lines of inquiry?"
I'm trying to politely request to hear what's on your mind.
Town leans, scum leans, things you found weird? A valid response is "I'm not that invested". That also tells me something about you
"there are all kinds of ways to unpack that."
You're picking at the way I phrased things
instead of trying to talk with me. Which I kind of interpret as a bad faith interaction.
You did the same thing with DrWigly's vote on you.
Maybe here's another question for you? How do you feel about your own voting record? And deciding to re-up your vanity wagon for most of today?
Do you think that your votes are very towny and that you should be read as such for them?
Underlined is like, so close to getting the point & then just absolutely whiffs it.
I'm picking apart the things you're saying because that's the game: close reading & sharing thoughts. Sometimes we predicate based on what we've read, sometimes times we ask questions, sometimes we let things sit and think on them for a bit - sometimes it's literally just sitting around and calling e/o cute (no such luck here</3) - but so much of this game is literally just thinking about words and how they function to push town toward or sway town from a successful solve.
Like, if the concern is that I didn't literally spell out a list of questions for you to ask when my concern was that your original question didn't feel pertinent to any professed takes on my own slot... then I'm sorry? But I'm not going to feed you questions to ask me.
The bold is just ridiculous because it takes as its basis something that just isn't true: I did try to talk to you! As stated multiple times, I answered you! And candidly at that! I asked what you'd meant with a But I guess you're not allowed to get pushback?
I think my votes are fine. I don't think I should be TR'd for them, but I don't think I've suggested as much anywhere this game. Do you have questions about my voting record? :3
