You’re being extremely uncharitable to me. I can try and go over them one by one to clear this up.
When I said you were pushing tinfoil theories, I’m responding to you saying that chess/nanook and cavin/engravings teams are viable. That position is absolutely ludicrous and it should be self-evident as to why. I think how the game has played out can’t be construed as theatre. I have bigger townreads on Chess and Nanook than I did from the outset of the game, but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to consider that one scum may be there. To consider that two scum may be there? Not a chance.
In white flag, it’s utterly pointless to spread the sentiment that people are masterminding the game. We have the privilege of not worrying about that, so there are more productive things to talk about. Especially on day 1.
You read me as not immediately questioning why you scumread me as me “carefully skirting around” it. I actually read your wall of quotes and understand why you scumread me. I think it’s misguided and I think you’re overlooking the fact that Cavin’s interactions with me today should be painting him as the more reasonable lynch, but I just thought I had better things to do than worry about a single scumread on me. I’m not the defensive type.
It’s annoying that you feel it’s fair that you can pick and choose what you respond to, but when I do it I’m skirting around the issue. I asked you twice or thrice to substantiate your reads much earlier in the game and you didn’t respond to me at all, and I’m not bringing it up to villify you.
I don’t think anyone could play it off that well. Your reasoning for flipping Star being that Chess will start listening to your reads if you flip his incorrect scumread isn’t something I’d ever think to make up as scum partners in a million years. It makes sense if you’re scum and he’s town and you’re trying to manipulate him, but I would never consider that theater.
It frustrates me when people don’t look at things like that.
I mean sure, I agree there are reasons to think we’re not partners and I think independent reasons to TR both of us, but I also think from a paranoid tn POV it’s not, like, totally and completely unreasonable.
I tend not to. If I’m the one leading the charge in the village, we’ve probably already lost. I win a lot more games when I play back a little bit and just question other players and try to work through the game that way.
Why? You’re giving credence to an absurd theory that would make you scum. And you would be right to respond to it with indignation, and I think you know it. What are you gaining from hearing it out when it can’t even be true FYPOV?
