Ok so BRIEF skim through on cubs (I ain't shorty with that insanity)
  • Has fight with chaos about... Basically nothing? Almost read like padding to me.
  • Scum read dubz because she was catching up on thread and felt she normally didn't do it in that particular format when village (which I do NOT remember as that being the case)
  • .... Any other major points???
This is why I feel like there's not much there (I don't mean to offend you cubs this is just what I'm seeing)

oh right. I guess my entire day yesterday was filled with nothing. Padding? Are you freakin kidding me?
 
Day 3 Yeet Tally
Vis (1) - sunshine
Chaos (1) - dubz

2/9
yeet close in ~11.5 hours
 
In 2 minutes of looking i found 2 posts by me interacting w zenge that you missed- on the same page as one of the ones you quoted.



and there are probably more

misrepresentation of situations in a way that shades someone isn't exactly a village look yo

Tbh , I did miss these as they were part of a larger wallpost.

>> im not vibing with his reads, and he's not making much sense in how hes explaining things. both of which dont really happen with village z

But this is the sentiment that I think has a possibility to come from scum looking for a place to park their vote on rather than town. Because it looks like you are translating a difference in opinion into a scumread.
So you are slightly lower than neutral in my readlist as of now.
 
Wait… so coop claims vanilla townie as where she got town from. So what other roles besides jester have a win con of trying to get yeeted? (I don’t have the list in front of me) And why would that only apply to day 1? And regardless of what that is, how is that at all useful to town anyway? Even if it’s vengeful, you’re still potentially taking out a villager (which as far as I know has never been used for D1 only). And then it could all just as well be scum misdirection at its finest.

Uh dude. I've already answered this. Please read my response. I was trying to get yeeted D1 because I wasn't having fun. Now I feel guilty and need to at least try. D1 yeet is one thing. The rest of the game is another.

To make it super duper extra coopah clear: I didn't want to get yeeted to win, I wanted to stop playing.

I'm just wondering why you wouldn't ask to be modkilled in that case?

I asked to be subbed, they posted asking for subs, they informed be there was little chance of getting a sub. I figured I'd eventually be mod killed for not participating but then I felt bad. So I'm trying. At least a little
 
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.

This helps clear up my confusion somewhat.

I guess its an issue of how he worded it. Bc using the word aggressive there makes it seem I was doing something like "GIVE ME YOUR ALIGNMENT , NOW!!!! " , which I didnt.
Same thing when he considers trying to get info to be controlling the spread of info.

>>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

Well I did see posts about how he was confused about what alignment / role were , but didnt realise he was scumreading me based on his confusion.
That seems like quite a bit of a stretch , like he thought I purposely worded my post confusingly so that I can make him slip?? That sounds pretty wild tbh.

I guess I understand it to some degree , but still dont feel that good about him.
 
Yeet cubs

I just think that village!Cubs would literally understand what I did better especially after I explained it. So right now the fact that he either misunderstood or understood and was still pushing me feels opportunistic

I'm definitely down for a vis yeet tho as well. Plus my favorite gal sunny
 
Why would you wonder something like that lol?

Modkilling = Letting down your team
I don't see how it's more of a letdown than actively trying to get killed anyway. Either way, the team would be down a member, and if she's village, her trying to get herself yeeted and succeeding would mean the rest of village wasted a yeet cycle that would have been better used on scum.

Lol who was defending you about all that original stuff??? Cubs!
 
I'm curious, does it influence your lean? Because ultimately it's a **** thing to do unless it's part of your wincon (yes I'm aware I'm a **** human being)

Im inclined to believe its because you ended up with a role you didnt actually want.
Which means likely solo scum or executioner (the role Stagg had)
 
Which is why is so confused about the abrupt turnaround! Why the change in behavior?

I pointed out that the fluff wasnt bothering me, and defended you over those things (and even defending you in a post last night about jokey playstyles) but the continued lack of participation otherwise is what started to bother me over the 36 hour cycle. Then D2 you particpated more so I lowered you a little bit on my list. Then yesterday you got really defensive again and today its kinda the same tone, only you seem more on the offensive than the defensive. You seem to be trying to now sketch me out of nowhere for not making any contributions to the game when I clearly have, and now voting me I guess because we've been arguing all morning? So still not sure what to make of it. And yes, I missed the point that you were actively trying to get yeeted just for not having fun, which is what led to my above post, and nearly getting all of us killed anyway because people started talking about subs.
 
Doesnt give a **** about the game is a vastly different mindset than actively trying to get yeeted. The former can come from town or scum. The later, well I cant think of any explanations

Which is what started this whole conversation and me asking about if there was actually any village role where this would be possible/useful. Because I was of the understanding it was of the latter, which were her exact words.
 
Literally any person I've ever played with will tell you that's not the case.
@cubsrule4e
@WildZoo

TBF, I dont think her having a role she didnt like would play into her acting that way at all. Plenty of other stuff, but not that. Still doesnt mean she doesnt have a role she doesnt like or is an affiliation she didnt want to play, but I doubt thats a driving factor for "Actively trying to get yeeted."

Yesterday I got defensive? Hm could you point that out for me?

And yes I'm getting offensive today because I'm trying to get scum. That's how you get scum no?
 
Why are we still having this conversation that's bordering on getting people modkilled? :thinking:

Cause we are talking about subbing anymore, the lightning bolt of justice has been placed back in its cloud.

To actually use this content for gameplay, her explanation of D1 is fair, but the erraticness of her play as described above (D1 - defeated/dont care D2 - playing for real with decent content D3 - super defensive D4 - super offensive) I dont care much for.

ETA: Im kind of mixing game cycles with actual 24 hour days, but hopefully im making my point.

Let me help then
D1 - LET ME DIE
D2 - zoo with dubz
D3 - oh god I'm stuck here aren't I?
D4 - fine maybe finding some scum will help
 
Hey y’all I am alive. I was super busy with work and I felt crappy the past two days (and no it was not at all related to being hydrated :sorry:) so I’ve been a bit absent from SDN. I’m at lunch now, so I’m reading as much as I can and I will get back on tonight (I get home about 5pm CDT) and dedicate that time to getting caught up.

(Note that I am not trying to AtE, just explaining why I’ve been gone)

Um no, that's clearly not what I'm saying otherwise that'd be mad hypocritical. I was responding to shorty who was giving you extra leeway because you've been busy and it's all well and good to consider you've been busy but it's not ok to give you village points for it. Just a reminder.

The 36 HOUR day cycle just started. Why should you be getting village cred for voting?

For that last point, get over it. Might not be nice but everyone is going to be all over you always for everything. If you don't like it don't play. That's why I stopped WW because ppl are ridiculous and it stopped being fun. Just something to consider.

I'm not expecting dissertations I'm saying people find you sketchy and are going to say wolves are busy too. That's the part I'm saying to get over. People will call you sketchy no matter what you do. Gotta deal with it. Because that's the game


That's not rude dude that's me disengaging from this argument that's getting no one anywhere.

So bye.

Basically your entire interaction with sunny.... which is now kind of how youre going at it with me, only with sunny it was defensive/passive aggressive but today with me youre the one who started up the fracas (nice...been looking to use that word legitimately for a while now :laugh:)

So now that ive explained my thought process/interpretation of how I feel youve acted this game, showed that I was actually defending you at points that you claimed made it opportunistic to go at you (I also never even placed a vote on you), admittedly didnt realize you were trying to self-yeet for a non game related reason, what else do you have on me to warrant a vote?

Ah well sunny I can no longer engage with as I will lose my everloving mind. That's not defensiveness that's me being completely annoyed by someone and legit giving up having any reasonable discussion with them (que some sassy response from sunny).

I seem to remember me burning games to the ground rather than work with someone out of bitterness (cough STL game cough) so this really shouldn't be too surprising

I've already stated I thought your interactions and reasons for finding dubz sketch was weird. Then looking back on chaos interaction I was confused as to why it went on for so long... Basically the reasons I stayed before. I'm by no means locked into this vote I'm just putting pressure where I think it's warranted

And too late to cue the incredibly nasty and rude commentary from coop
