Hm y'know technically all Taste said was we'd be writing some "response" to a prompt, the bad fanfic angle could just be us assuming too much and displaying our biases, we might actually be prompted to write scathing opinion pieces about anime being a mistake for all we know :sun:

Do you think just retelling the story of Shine V is a good first date for the prize?

Chilling in a mason chat does sure meet the criteria for a low-cost date suited to socially anxious nerds! I'll just have to tell it better then hehehe

Anyway, to get serious now for a minute,

Scientastic thought this post of his should just be clearly taken as a joke:

Scientastic posted:

Anyone else?

It could be some decent sarcasm I'll admit, but his joke sounds way more like an actual argument than what he's actually voted on:

Scientastic posted:

##Vote Bif

Which was ironically voting me for a post which was far more clearly telegraphed as a joke than his. I was building on a running setup, even.

Back when Sci first cast that vote, I thought it was serious, which didn't make it scummy. I vaguely remember "Sci reading all my posts bad and wrong" being consistent with his town meta. But is it really serious? I had to assume it was, since there was no joke there to be found. But he gave less reason for it than he did in his shade on Nat. He's just veering from "hard early gut calls that need no further explanation!" to "sounding like I'm making actual arguments now, but actually don't take what I'm saying seriously please"

Who's the one really being cagey here about their stances?

##vote Sci

This is very concerning: you are changing your play to benefit your scum game, not just to benefit the town.

Your town game should be open and honest, your scum game should be about imitating your town game as best you can. Overhauling your playstyle in the way you're saying is not pro-town.

Ehhhh this feels a bit too preachy pearl-clutchy for my tastes, not liking this vote

Would someone else besidesjust Scientastic show up to do something scummy though, sheesh

Morning all, got a lot to catch up on now, nice!

Scientastic posted:

Yes, I agree, calling someone out for doing something scummy is preachy and pearl-clutching. What the gently caress

It's just the attitude of "oh my word, trying to change up your playstyle overall (even though you're a relatively new player who's got good reason to experiment and see what works for you) isn't totally optimal so it's anti-town!"

That is the definition of preachy and pearl clutching.

Scientastic posted:

I take it you don't agree that it's scummy to change your playstyle but only saying you are doing so after being challenged? Why is that?

You are correct. I don't agree. I think having to announce HEY EVERYBODY JUST SO YOU KNOW I'M GONNA PLAY DIFFERENT THIS TIME OK before you dare try anything is obnoxious and unnecessary.

Gumball Gumption posted:

This feels performative considering every Sci post inbetween this one and the Bifauxnen post before it looks like a joke to me.

Uhhh ok

Biaga posted:

Bif and sci are jumping at shadows pretty hard. It is like they are coordinating their actions to spread dissent and acuse others for their own benefit.

...... What. ok this is way more silly than anything else I've seen so far. You had me at "jumping at shadows", that sounded fair cause there was nothing else around for us to react to except each other, and Nat. But "coordinating our actions to spread dissent and accuse others?"

What others?

This is pretty fake

Biaga posted:

The last few posts between them seem driven by the same goal of pinbing focus and votes on a single person. Their posts and opinions are empty and hallow in focus and drive and are less about finding value and more driven by removing someone cuse "lunch d1!!!". The fact that they are jumping on my so quickly without defending themselves doesn't help justifying their actions.

The really funny thing about all this is until I woke up and saw Biaga's posts the only person I was focusing on was Sci

If anything I think the most interesting part of the entire thing is that SNG and Sci have both got votes on Biaga now after their exchange moments earlier suggesting the other was scum. I think if there is scum to be found it's one of them leaping away from that exchange to an easier area to pressure.

Oooh I like this idea though

Still think Biaga is scum but if he turns out not to be I will definitely remember this

Biaga's stance made so little sense that when I was done I had to go back and make sure I hadn't totally hosed up my quotes, and that Biaga was actually still talking about me and Sci and not someone else by then.

He was! It still makes no sense!

I keep coming back to that first post that set things off: "coordinating our actions to spread dissent" is such a wild thing to come up with outta nowhere. There was no one around to even dissent with.

Nat,you seem to think this is too out there for a newbie scum to drop on a townie and stick their neck out that much but I disagree. I think it could be a newbie scum overstepping by accident since they aren't experienced in making more subtle fakecases.

Hm, while I see what you're saying about Sci's level of engagement giving more info, I think a Biaga flip would still provide us a lot to look at too. Especially with how things progress from here, now that you've left them tied at - 2 and it's anyone's game!
