I only recall two off-hand, nutella and S~V~S. There's more to a read than that. Context and various other interactive nuggets play a role.

You sure spend a lot of time talking about others' Nanook reads and considerably less talking about anything else.

Yep, I’m a vain player

I am not "eloquent" and Epignosis loves to shit on my writing. I am not talking about "quality". Asking you questions is like pulling teeth and there's no reason it should be that way.

To be clear I don’t think you’re a piece of shit or (mostly) a dick, I get this is your routine or whatever, but it’s fucking annoying sometimes.

I’m genuinely trying to engage with you. I haven’t trolled you even a little bit. You do not make it easy to talk to you sometimes.

It’s also a bit irritating to have you call me varying kinds of useless or bad and then say I’m the one pushing buttons, lol

The source of my behavior, for now and all future iterations of this conversation (it has happened before):

I try my best to solve games. Sometimes I do well, and sometimes my reads go awry. All I can do is work as hard as I can to maximize my chances of getting things right. Very often I feel as though my effort to do so is met with indignance, tongues sticking out, and general attidues of fuck off JJJ, you're annoying.

And then when things go bad it's somehow my fault.

I probably think less of it than many. I rarely find "X saved Y" type suspicions compelling, and I don't think a last-minute hot potato (this barely qualifies as that) implies someone was being saved or whatever. More people viewed Mac as a viable lynch than viewed LC or others as a viable lynch. I viewed Mac as an acceptable choice too.

Generally I don't think votes are a great place to look for mafia. I may be unorthodox in that way, but I know from much experience that votes are the easiest thing mafia members can use to manipulate games. They're so easy to screw with and lead people on goose chases. So I focus on behavioral assessment more than votes.

Yes there is. It’s called being snarky, and I am borderline incapable of not being snarky.

But more seriously, it’s not “you should have my posts memorized,” like fuck, I don’t even have my posts memorized and I wrote them, it’s more “this is the kind of thing you’re pointing out wrt other players so it’s weird that you didn’t find this one.”

Fwiw I used ctrl+f to find it cause I also didn’t know where it was lol

Fwiw, I don’t dismiss what you write.

You do sometimes give off an air of “i (or player x) have/has done more visible work than player y, so player y doesn’t get to criticize player x/player y doesn’t count as much.” Idk if that’s intentional or not, but it can be offputting and, at least for me, make me want to avoid direct engagement (and/or throw hands).

Sorry gang I was a bit of a prick last night. I woke up in a cold sweat and realized I'd forgotten to take my pill.

I think it's too early indeed to talk about this so soon but those 3 mins made me think if my vote was well placed and talking about it, not if I could change anything, I doubt now i voted a wolf. Nut was asking everyone to not vote Mac, if she would be wolf what good would bring to the pack to fight for the life of a villager?

I wonder if any wagon was for a wolf and if not, the change of votes was either an action of villagers, either made with wolves help.

Agree, but still it saddens me she had no will to reevaluate. Because I reread my day 0 posts and her reaction wasn't correct, I wasn't hard trying.

That’s fair. I will say that SVS can be stubborn though.

I’m torn though because I still feel like she’s been for the most part really trying to figure people out. What’s your more detailed opinion of her?

nutella is going to have to give me a lot more to earn that kind of credit. She has done some shit in recent games.
