First misunderstanding between you two: cubs is considering trying to get certain info onto the thread to be controlling the spread of information, while chaos considers controlling spread of information to mean limiting spread of information
I’m assuming he feels like he already answered what you’re controlling (initiating/asking for sharing affiliation cards = controlling what information gets shared). The first question (how else would you scumhunt other than having ideas about what scum vs village would be more likely to do) I agree he dodged.
The way I’ve been reading it is that he finds your start of immediately suggesting a strategy that involves everyone revealing something was aggressive. I think a lot of your confusion over this is just site meta. We don’t repeat setups exactly and only rarely do sequels that are very similar setups, so we don’t have established strategies for certain setups like mu, ms, ps, etc. Also I haven’t seen any open games on SDN so revealing in general is not really a thing here except as a last-ditch self-prez. I think it’s kind of weird that he insists this is an aggressive strategy because it’s not like you were telling people to ROLE reveal and even though we haven’t played greatest idea before I think the affiliation reveal strategy is pretty intuitive once explained, and your posts made it clear you weren’t proposing this as some kind of crazy scheme, you thought of it as just “okay this is how everyone starts a game of greatest idea”. But I think he has explained what he sees as aggressive. The other part I believe is the same thing as what he means by “talking about what scum would or wouldn’t do”: you have a very assertive way of explaining your reads. I rarely see you use qualifiers or note doubt about your reads. I think that’s part of what cubs is reacting to and apparently reading as “aggressive”. I think this is another difference in site meta, or at least a personal difference in style, rather than AI for either of you.
Yeah, he was pushing an idea that you had purposefully asked about revealing the role people used for affiliation in a confusing way to try to frame people negatively for not understanding. Idgi but I also don’t know how you missed this if you were searching his posts.
Overall this post reinforces how I felt about chaos, seems like he genuinely feels there are questions he is confused about why cubs is reading him scum, not like he’s pretending cubs hasn’t explained to make up shade on cubs, and definitely seems a lot like the argument with LIS. Kind of raising an eyebrow at Chaos allegedly missing cubs’s posts about the confusing language thing even when searching cubs’s posts, but idk the rest sounds genuine and nothing else about Chaos has really pinged me.
