Why do you think it's true? What have you seen of Zoya's scum play?

it's probably true because zoya seems very competent, and people constantly bring it up as well. give me some credit, huh

anyway re: zoya

the very first game i played here, the leftist factionalism one, had zoya as the last scum and she almost won in an absurdly bad situation. or she made a good run of it anyway

she made an impression. so on that basis i agree with shwiffles that if the scum captains were picking based on competence she would be on the team

but still, that's a dumb loving reason to vote someone. I'm not going to vote anyone on that basis by itself although it might make me sus a person who i had already alerted on more

the last time I saw a scum drafting game, gulagdolls ended up as the captain and picked everyone in the game whose name started with the letter M as the scum team

do not presume the captains are thinking too hard

Observe how frantic and rattled shark has become after one measly vote. Yes, this reaction has manifested only because of my vote and due to nothing else.

Okay but wins didn't pressure you to vote, they were asking you who you think Scum is and then you dodged the question and it acted as if it was so offensive

You do? Because that's not what wins did, wins asked the very normal Mafia question "who scum" and shark started immediately blustering

Excuse me I got things mixed up in my head while I was writing that. Would be more accurate to say that sharks point wasn't about forcing reads, they got immediately defensive and erroneously said they were being forced to vote from a very slight amount of pressure

But seeing as I just got things flipped in my head while writing a post maybe I should have some humility

absolutely, 100% true that i will never give a read that i don't feel, and its futile to force me into anything

but there's no need to get all dramatic and 'you'll see how wrong you were when im dead' about it so i apologize

I didn't ask you to vote. I ask you who you thought was scum. Do you have oppositional defiant disorder? Because that's the only reason I can see for why a simple question caused a blow up unless you're trying to brush people back because you're scum.

Same situation with Zoya, she's usually way more talkative and a big poker which isn't happening here. So I got the feeling they're both waiting for us to hoist ourselves by our own petard

keep in mind that i originally:

Zoya posted:

actually scratch that i got a lot going on irl rn maybe just give me unspoiled obs and i'll replace in if needed
...signed up as a backup because i have a lot going on irl and didn't want to fully commit to the game

it turns out that i ended up replacing in before the game even started, but yeah my engagement is not going to match my meta
