I did some catching up during the Night but didn't really put my all into it and haven't quite finished D1. With another question mark eliminated, I'll go back and do some reading with intensity.
Fair.
That's what I took it as, but maybe @Wisp could confirm?
Ok. I mean, even if you say we have similar playstyles (which I agree with), feelings about any given individual's posts are going to vary from player to player, so...yeah.
Why do you say this?
This is feeling more like town!Proph.
I have no more responses, but I do have more thoughts, but I'm also out of time. So more when I can.
I've read up to current, have many responses I want to make, but they'll have to wait until morning. And I *will* post in the morning.
I know we're no longer to indicate deadline preference in-thread, but if the deadline is extended, a PSA: my weekend, especially being a holiday one, is going to be very busy. I *may* have opportunity for in-depth posting, but I may only be able to skim and post the most pertinent. My daytimes (I'm MST) will likely be spent nowhere near an internet signal. So...my apologies in advance.
A few quick points:
-- Dangit. I thought Cross was Bur or--with a hopeful heart--an outside possibility of Tom. Ah well.
-- With Osie behind the portrait, I'm still pretty much at a townlean, although not as strong. I thought Axel's points against Osie were pretty insightful, and even if I don't necessarily agree with all of them, Axel is certainly trending upward for me.
-- I'm also liking DV a bit more.
-- Still have Proph as most likely scum, but I *have* liked some of his responses. I'll go into more detail when I'm not exhausted.
-- Alas, poor OsieBell. Adieu.
-- Greetings G_J!
I feel like my question (in 265) was essentially what KJ asked in 267. Why did you give me this dismissive response while going into detail when responding to KJ?
Sure, but it'll have to wait until tonight. Because I'm out of time.
FWIW, I've recently made comments like this, and (for me) it's not "oh, the game is over; I hate losing!!!" going into the f3. It's that I feel a lot of pressure and responsibility to do a good job, and I seem to inevitably choke.
Note to self: had 278, 280, 281, 299 in the multi-quote to respond to when I ran out of time.
How could DoTA have gotten better when he hadn't posted?
I don't know that it is, though. Feels very much like town pulling a thread (from his 137) and then seeing something significant in the details of your response and jumping on it. Although...he was putting you to L-2 and then peaced out for 24 hours, so I guess it could have been an attempt to start an elimination movement without looking like he was involved. Eh...I just feel like I want more from DoTA for now.
Man, that sounds cozy. But I'm far from satisfied with Proph's responses, so...my magic 8-ball says "prognosis is grim". I'm down with Wisp, though.
That is...a weird way to conclude your statement. Your suspicion of Cross is apparent, so I get that you think they're either W/W or T/W, but why say it this way instead of just pondering whether Axel is a buddy or not? That doesn't seem to jive with your "are they trying to figure each other out" possibility, either, as that would only happen with T/T.
Up until less than 12 hours ago, we were bifurcated on Wisp as well, and I think there's a good chance you're mafia, so are you really that surprised that our reads don't align? Looking forward to you sorting and responding to my questions.
I've read past 200, but I'm falling asleep, so more posts in the morning. Good night.
Nah, it was simply for the reaction. (I know he reacted in a later post; more when I get there.)
I can see what you're saying a bit with 19 and 25, but I'm really not seeing the reactiveness of 8 or 29. I know you've recently re-evaluated Wisp townward, but given the conviction you were showing based on early game meta comparison, right now it just looks like you've decided that trying to get Wisp mis-eliminated isn't worth the effort and you're going to push elsewhere. (I saw your explanation, and I don't want to ask you to provide more detail because I generally agree with what you "found", but your change in position is a bit, as you say, jarring.)
At the time I made that post, I thought it was understandable for him to be annoyed at being pressured by Crossbell and I as either alignment. I'd be annoyed if I was being hounded by two clones of mine, for example.[/quote]Ok, that makes sense.
The meta read is actually playing a lot stronger here than I think I realized. Each subsequent post makes me feel like it's more likely who I think it is, and I'm freaking loving it. (Spoiler: I'm probably completely wrong, because I'm almost always wrong on these things, but something something blind squirrel...) I'm also happy with the volume of output. Again, not necessarily town on its own, but in combination with everything, feels indicative to me. The Axel read still doesn't meld with me (nor the DoTa one, tbf), but the meta dive at least lets me see where Cross is coming from.
Caught up, ready to rock, let's get this bread.
Crossbell: I know high interaction doesn't automatically equate to town, but I always lean that way. Some general game solving vibes, too. I don't really get the suspicion on Axel. 98 might be a little try-hard, but, as has been noted, the Proph roleplay may be a factor there. Maybe I've got them higher than I ought just because they correctly noted that my absence was because of the weekend. If I'm right in my suspicions of who they are, though, they're solidly in their town meta. Certainly don't see why they're L-2. Town.
@Cross: Can you point to differences in other games from Axel? I'm just getting standard Axel vibes so far.
Killjoy: Pretty light in content, but that last post (150) is pretty solidly town paranoid KJ. Townlean.
DoTArchon: Feels like he wants to solve, especially with his insight into KJ's mindset. Townlean.
Wisp: I think a telling point here is the carelessness. Scum Wisp likes to pretend that they're careless, but they rarely actually post things that garner serious attention beyond "Why is Wisp the way Wisp be?" I'm not getting faked carelessness here (other than the drunkposting, but drunkposting always feels fake to me.) Mild townlean.
Axel: Not much here, but certainly not getting the "awkward" vibes that Cross is concerned about. Still null.
Grape: Some mindmeld on the Easy Breezy Beautiful Whisper read, and I like the long version of 73, but the TLDR feels waffly. Of course, it's coming from the Hedgelord, so I'll take it with a grain of salt and wait and see. Null.
DV: I hate reading DV. Scumlean.
Proph: The energy and engagement give me generally good vibes, but the progression from 22, where he says he will easily be able to read Wisp, to 30, where he votes Wisp for "clumsy" posts feels weird, especially with Proph saying it's for Wisp's "early" posts.
@Proph: Can you show me Wisp being "clumsy", as you note in 30? In their "early" posts only, please.
Also, I don't understand this:
You seem to be listing Wisp's annoyance with you and Cross as a point against them, but then you say it's understandable?
Vote: Prophylaxis
"Let's do the Time Walk again!"
(Unless Killjoy wants that one, in which case...)
"Benny and the (Mox) Jets"
(Whichever one KJ doesn't yoink.)
