i yell at myself so i don’t do the things i get yelled at by myself for
make sense?
If it were a few years ago I would say it makes sense, but I’ve learned the hard way that self-deprecation like this doesn’t really help - it just makes things worse.
This actually goes beyond this game or FM as a whole. Putting yourself down just makes you feel bad and doesn’t make you improve, at least from my experience.
You guys have already made me feel better this game when I felt shitty, so all I can do is try to reciprocate.
You can clear yourself and it doesn’t have to involve you putting yourself down. Just post stuff that’s towny, maybe make some pushes or reads.
If not, we can figure something out together. Unlike them we can plan our posts in here.
Right now I think you can clear yourself by volume. If you start posting a fair bit, making reads and justified pushes, you should be towncleared at least temporarily.
Try to come up with an independent reasoning (from mine) as to how Solic’s actions during the reaction test ping you the wrong way
This is what I’m arguing - basically, Solic’s behavior during the reactiontest is odd and possibly scummy because he seems to have prior knowledge regarding what it is and how he should act to not be scumread for it.
This is a conclusion you probably shouldn’t reach because it comes after mine and is going to make you look like a sheep.
Instead, look for a different reason why Solic’s behavior is scummy if you want to push scum!Solic. Or alternatively you can actually defend him here and say why this behavior is towny. I think that would work better if you can do it. You could be like ‘actually I took another look and this looks like town, here’s why.’
If you need help with figuring out what reasoning you should present, we can try to brainstorm something.
‘Solic knew it was a reaction test because he has seen it before and shouldn’t be scumread for it.’ - If you can point to an example that’s even better.
‘Solic knew the test wasn’t directed at him, so he didn’t bother to interrupt it. Him knowing it was a test doesn’t make him scum.’ - That works.
‘Solic might’ve just figured out it was a test from the beginning. Him knowing it was a test could make him SvS with Alice, but I think Alice is town so Solic can’t be scum based on that. They are never TvS.’ - Another thing you could convincingly argue I believe.
Take your pick. You will probably need to explain yourself a bit more whichever one you choose + there are more options, these are off the top of my head.
I might argue with you a little as well.
Let’s not push the ‘Set is being coached’ narrative, since that’s actually in fact what’s happening.
I was trying to get FK to argue against me and then agree.
Which is what happened
