@Bif/Steak if you really think the other is scum from that fight, each of you pull *one* quote from the other and explain why you think so

This is my one quote from Steak, it's also from right at the start so you only need to reread minimal context before it:

Mr. Steak posted:

this has got to be a fake opinion. if you're scum you'd better backpedal on it cuz it'd look real weird if you double down on thinking this

I had voted Steak while complaining about him making such an obnoxious VF-cluttering joke after promising such serious play, he asked what made me think things were serious, and I replied with "You". That was what got him to come screaming in all "this has got to be a fake opinion".

What is the opinion that he thinks is fake? That he had already noticably made a lot of serious posts and drew attention to it? That this made me think the game was getting serious now

But maybe saying my opinion was fake is fake. Steak later refers back to this post to call it just bullshitting. And he claims to just be doing the same thing as me, trying to see how I react.

Except look how I got him to react. I cast a vote clearly trying to prod him, and replied very simply to the weird question he asked me. He came in all calling me obviously fake and admittedly doing weird bullshit "traps" where no matter how I react he can surely find some way to say it's just convinced him further.

I'm not getting much of a read on either Bif or Steak, I do however feel that DB is making an effort to be vocal and useful, in sharp contrast to the Worm game where they were scum and just stayed in the background. I'm not sure if this is how they play town or if its an overadjustment to fix what got them caught last game.

I like this post. What bothers me a little, is your willingness to be cuddled today. Are you a jester?

I'm actually getting suspicious of PMush too, after reflecting on the "hard tilt" comment a bit, it bugged me that when I'm trying to just make my points and not like argue argue, she called it that. It's like she's reaching out to get on my good side by saying I'm town, but then also painting me as having extreme reactions.

really? my posts made you think the game was getting serious now? i find that interesting. and by interesting, i mean extremely dubious. all you need to do is click on the little ? on my posts and you can see which of my posts i made *after* talking about killing jokephase. one of those posts was a link to a horrible amazon item, and the rest were hardly serious either. and yet, it was MY posts that made bif think the game was starting to get serious? that sounds fake and i called it out as such. regardless of bif's alignment or whether she was trying to get a reaction out of me, there is simply not a chance that her presumed opinion on the game's seriousness was genuine. she is either town who lied to get a reaction from me, or scum. either way her original answer of "you" was a lie, or else bif has some major explaining to do in order for that response to make a lick of sense.

Mr. Steak posted:

Here are a bunch of early seriousposts Steak had already made before I voted him.

Mr. Steak posted:

smh why do scum always post super early on day 1? something about getting pinged in discord? idk its just a trend i've noticed. and this is a weird "pretending to be jokephase" post...

Mr. Steak posted:

##vote sng

This first one was a serious-sounding observation, followed by a vote, then another serious observation to further support it:

Mr. Steak posted:

fyi last time i saw sandnavyguy use the "sand solidarity" thing on d1, he was an sk lol. so im wary of him bringing up the exact same thing

Then suggesting to PMush that she could join the SNG vote, when SNG voted her:

Mr. Steak posted:

u are lucky because u can immediately omgus on scum :v:

Followed by suggesting it's scumbus banter when she fails to vote SNG back:

Mr. Steak posted:

smh i was hoping it was not an obvious bus from sng but you have disappointed me

And finally, outright saying he wants to be serious:

Mr. Steak posted:

im determined to kill jokephase before it begins. and any player desperate to cling to it for longer than 1 or 2 posts is scum

Mr. Steak posted:

ive gotta sleep soon so i'll do my proper d1 solve the game routine after everyone else has checked in

Ironically these posts sounded more like a joke to me, but in a comedic hyperbole, kidding-on-the-square kind of way. He had already begun playing seriously, and was now drawing attention to the fact he was playing seriously.

Then he makes a jokepost that repeats Hum's VF spam and I say:

Bifauxnen posted:

Ugh, Hum was bad enough but I thought it was serious time, I thought jokephase was aborted Steak

##vote Steak

He gives this dodgy post in direct reply to me:

Mr. Steak posted:

what about the last 3 pages made you think its serious time....?

And this is when I answered "You." Steak's own actions of taking the game seriously made me think that at least he was now playing seriously, and that it was odd for him to pretend now like he wasn't. Or maybe he was just trying to act evasively around my vote.

It's also odd that he's acting now like "wow Bif, just cause little old me posted, that made you think the game was serious?! Pshaw!" It only takes one player breaking the ice to kick things off. Even if everyone else keeps joking, choosing not to engage when there are serious points and opinions out there becomes a choice and a position. The whole interplay that Steak was waxing poetic about not too long ago.

At every single turn, Steak goes out of his way to find or manufacture the absolute worst light to paint my posts in, and that is why I think he's scum himself rather than trying way too hard to actually find scum.

Mr. Steak posted:

see my selected bif quote earlier, for her getting super frustrated at things that would only probably frustrate her if she's scum

The "super" is in the eye of the beholder. I thought maybe it was fair enough for PMush to think I was "hard tilting" when she's not played many games with me, but I think you should know better, Steak?

And I can already hear Steak queuing up a post complaining about how his PMush posts totally weren't serious!! Well it looked like the kind of thing I was trying to initially do with my Steak vote. Things aren't serious yet cause they can't be, you got nothing, but you're seriously attempting to prompt and assess a reaction. And we're getting caught up in so much endless minutia over things that are getting so far away from where we started.

Steak came in admittedly bullshitting, and saying my opinion just had to be fake. He was wrong. It's frustrating, and he's gone out of his way to act frustrating on purpose so he can then say I'm scummy for being frustrated.

Missed what? That's the whole point. I went to check your posts before I posted that, thinking I must have missed something, and you'd only had two posts for Sandwolf to ignore since the game opened. One was just emptyquoting Amni's pregame desire to turbo me. The other was this:

Bifs posting so far is perfectly in line with how they act when they are town, and I dont see them as super frustrated so much as locking onto a possible target and not letting up, which she tends to do if she feels theres a lead.

Steak is acting chaotic as per usual, and would normally be a null vote but the early and more direct cuts of their hyperbole seems... not as performative laissez faire as his usual townie self, generally they are more scattershot and less ready to tango with an attcker this early, instead continuing to provoke at near random. Here though, they seem ready to lock horns with bif and lay out structured rhetoric.

more importantly, my gut is telling me this isnt bussing or a town slapfight, and of the two Im leaning on Steak for scum.

Im a tad sus that DGK is bussing Sandwolf, but that may just be a red herring. What say you to this Nurse?
