@KoD, I don't feel like you were trying to bait a defender out but that doesn't mean I have to view Lau being paranoid of defender talk as scummy either. He immediately jumped in thread telling defenders to shut up, preemptively trying to shut down defender talk. That's pro town. You then immediately start talking about the defender. I find it natural that he's going to take exception to the line of discussion given his comment. While he did read more into what you're putting down I don't feel like it's out of flow, especially given his most recent claim. All in all it's not a scummy situation but you're blowing it up to be, hence the low hanging fruit.
As for the pocketing, you forgot to mention the multiple uses of pinky promise. For those outside the know, our collective meta (NGA) is built on basically lies and backstabbery so we just straight don't have the luxury of trust tells. Further I developed a game built on the notion of pinky promises and the subsequent breaking of them. So when KoD used them earlier he wasn't invoking a trust tell, but trying to craft some inside jokery. It's further instance of him trying to play nice and buddy up. Where I see this different than our normal MO is that our back and forth is usually a playful rapport. That's not the case here. From the onset I ignored your initial hi removing confirmation of my identity yet you still pushed the notion of my townness hard, after I dropped you bottom of my scum list. Take the ice cream for example. At best you can call it a reaction Guage. That's not pinnacle of townliness. This isn't a new stance for me, you've seen me argue countless times reaction baiting isn't a strictly town move. More realistically the ice cream schtick should be labeled as RVS spammery. NAI. Yet without confirmation of me being me you use it to crutch me as a town read for you.
I think I've spoken on this enough now. People should have a clear idea of my stance and why I'm leaning that way. I have no interest in filibusting the thread on this matter.
@ExLight, I'm pretty sure the display shifts as more posts are added. I've noticed similar incidents but it's usually with the fresh page displaying posts that end up pushed back to the previous page as the fresh page fills up. At least that's what I've seen on my mobile browser.
