I will admit, if I was someone else, I would probably be annoyed with my posting style as well, so I don't blame you.

So, what's the story behind that flashback post ?

Deal ^v^

No. Quality > Quantity. It's just if there's both no quality and no quantity.

Thanks for clarifying, I figured as such, but wanted to be sure.

Damn I was actually considering trying to post a secret word or phrase that would get you to not let the cat out of the bag so soon because as soon as you posted the good cop bad cop post I knew you knew what I was doing. But couldn't think of a good way to do it


Whatevs, I'll check in later. Headache went away while eating food but now it's back once I'm done. Gonna take some ibuprofen and take a nap

[FreezinIce]

Regardless I think I got some good info from the interactions so wasn't a waste

idk
it has probably just been too long since I've interacted with him

he definitely has made me laugh before so it is like
beyond unfair for me to have made that post, at least as it looks

It was, and still is, hitting different how he posts
maybe that's actually really bad??? maybe I should be scum reading him, but that feels like a horrific reason to do that so I kinda don't want to

he also reminded me that he is still him not too long ago
so whatever

this is a selfish post of mine so forgive me

Sometimes Xel can be a jerk, but that jerkiness has a charm to it (i.e. when it comes across more like playful teasing). Sometimes though it just doesn't land (like you've seen in post #170 where you called him a jerk).

Sorry, I somehow missed this during our exchange earlier. Hope you feel better soon. Apologies if I made it worse 😅

Was I part of some experiment? 😳

I've done it a few number of times in other games (as vanilla town). The short answer (for me) is me hand-waving and saying the words "executive dysfunction". The long answer I'm too tired to explain right now.

Some reads:

-Raeko: town, like I mentioned earlier, I don't think a wolf would make such bold posts as she did

-bugkid: leaning wolf. I don't like the same post that (#99) that H&H also didn't like, the part that bothered me was moreso how...non-committal the post felt. Also, looking at this post in the context of bug's other posts, I feel like the posting progression feels a bit off. I also agree with Sun regarding the lack of "chutzpah"

-H&H: Although we somewhat agreed regarding bug's post, I also didn't like your post on bug's post either, I feel like posting one's thoughts on interactions/alignments isn't out of the ordinary, so your post felt like a cheap attack. I would say scummy, but I don't think both you and bugkid are both wolves.

-Star-crossed: leaning wolf, didn't like their early d0 post, see my post #185. One thing I forgot to mention, is that there was one decent nugget in their post, namely the "radical honesty" thing.

-haku: leaning town. My notes say "good vibse". Depsite not having played in forever, the posts feel very much how I would expect town haku to talk.

-freezin: I felt uncomfortable with that interaction, but that was moreso just personal feelings. I want to say town, but I want to see how sunfan reacts to your post #231 first.

-sunfan: slight town. I appreciate the town read on me, although I usually have a hard time responding to positive reads on me; my 0th order thought is "I'm getting validation, this must be a good person" but I know that's not how the game works. I know you're a very skilled player, and we're close enough friends that I feel like you can probably easily get inside my head and easily persuade and influence me. In any case though, I appreciate the continued encouragement, it means a lot. I feel we're at least a bit on the same wavelength regarding raeko and bugkid, so that pushes you a bit towards town for me.

I'll probably be up for another half hour if anyone watching the thread wants to chat.

It's very kawaii desu ne.

I guess I'll take note that Shadowolfe/zenith/dabackpack/xel/botchi are missing in that list, but likely too difficult to read at this point. Solid reads overall for a general vibe.

ps: H&H would scum read bugkid as a wolf if both wolves. You can get some nice town cred going that route.

I think I would give a pass to Star here. Maybe I'm too easy, but I'd need at least to see where the votes are going. I don't think a guts read is wise here. At least, if that was the wolf play, I'd rather find another one first.

I actually think bugkid is more likely to be town while H&H is more likely to be wolf here. Could be bias from the previous game, but I think wolves would want to get some sort of initiative and target someone like bugkid that might be more difficult to defend. Heck, possibly you as well.

I guess the 300 IQ game plan is to afk and watch me try to find something that doesn't exist.
