Page 2 L-1 wagons are yummy delicious, but I really like my absta101 vote at the moment.

Decisions, decisions.

[Equinox]

Curious puppy is curious - why would you L-1 PiggyGal?

Because L-1 wagons are yummy delicious.

(Can we roast absta101 tomorrow? I hear pot roast is pretty good.)

[Equinox]

what?

Yeah, what

are

you doing?

[Equinox]

Well, I suppose point b should actually be "I know it's going to continue, so why bother stopping it?"

You do have the power to stop the evil villain that is RVS.

What do you think of your wagon?

[Equinox]

@Equi - she's voting you, what do you think she thinks of it?

I think absta101 is still in the lead.

[Equinox]

I got a town read from his OMGUS vote.

Why?

[Equinox]

Good god. First walls, now meta. This game is going to be pretty demanding, isn't it.

PiggyGal15's recent posts are coming off as honest. I'll investigate her games sometime tomorrow night, but for now she's no longer in the lead.

I don't really care for the argument between Cerulean and Thor665, as it looks more to be out of ego than alignment. The Empire head sounds like town; I might dig deeper to see if he has any scum games, but his posts so far are reminiscent of Micro 53, which is good. Thor665 might be town, but take that with a grain of salt. Actually, now that I think about it, it might be worth a look to see if Thor665 gets into ego wars as scum. Agree that N's probably town.

...and there's absta101 who Soul2277 says has acted weird before as town or something. Regardless, I'll park my vote here because, well, I don't like him. Despite showing little reservation voting me at the start, he's hesitated at voting for Voidedmafia, on whom he's claimed he's "leaning scum."

Did I complain yet about how much reading there is already for this game?

Seeing two scum leans pushing absta also makes him feel more likely town

Uh, come again?

[Equinox]

And yet you make not one comment on sixty or their case on piggy even though you say she's coming off as more honest. Why is that?

No read of Sixty. I even re-read their case after posting that, but all it garnered was a shrug. Ask me again in a couple of pages and I may have something better for you.

[Equinox]

Are you aware at all of her scumreads, or are you asking for the sake of asking?

Soul2277 was pretty clear about their scum reads, so, yes, I was aware. I just didn't see how that necessarily led to "absta101 is probably town."

[Equinox]

P-edit: It's a secondary reason for absta. Do you think both scum bussing is likely in a white flag set up (well with the extra black rules).

Maybe, maybe not. I get that it's a secondary read. I just don't, well, "grok" it, to steal from Thor665's lexicon.

Took a brief look at the game you indicated and can sort of see it, but let me get back to you later when my brain isn't so preoccupied with sleep.

Equinox - why are you townreading Thor?

Liked how Thor665 pressured PiggyGal15 earlier. There's also some notion about Thor665 maybe not getting into an ego war because why take offense at someone doing something silly when it doesn't concern him and those posts didn't come off contrived, but I think I need to verify that I'm not doing bogus psychoanalysis first.

[Equinox]

Ceru do you want to try explaining to equi why it's unlikely then? Since somehow two scum are unlikely to bus in white flag isn't clear enough and I'm not sure how much clearer I can be.

You're trying to convince someone who's bussed in every White Flag game as scum that it's unlikely.

[Equinox]

Did you and your partner both ever bus together in a white flag game early on?

Oh.

Now

I get it.

(Incidentally, the answer is no.)

[Equinox]

I'm sorry, guys. I am going to replace out, as I'm having trouble keeping up with the pace of this game and it'd be better if a replacement was sought sooner rather than later. I won't send in a formal "I'm outta here" until tomorrow, though, since I'd like a chance to finish reading up to page 12 and/or do the things I promised I'd do. If you have something you'd like to ask me specifically, ask away.

[Equinox]

Up to somewhere near the top of page 10.

From a first read-through:

Soul2277 is town. Cerulean's still town. JesseSheffield is probably town, as he came in pushing buttons from the get-go and maintained pressure. I'm torn on Sixty; on the one hand, when they're building cases, they sound off from the Tierce and Vi that I know individually, and that's a scum tell for them... when they're playing individually. I suspect they may be suffering from a certain type of hydra syndrome, but I may be able to tell better after looking at previous Sixty games to see how they handled cases and whatnot. Tierce's posts to Tammy come off as a genuine attempt to reach across the aisle, though. PiggyGal15 is probably still town, but she's also in the metagaming queue; since my read of her is pretty much based on tone, I'd like to check out how she behaves before solidifying a read either way.

Jury is pretty much out on the rest, I think. Still haven't read absta101 despite my vote being on him. I think there's more of him beyond page 9, so there's that to which to look forward, not to mention actually reading the game Mehdi2277 suggested.
