Micro 962: Geriatric Trio II (Town Victory)

[The Bulge]

who's up for some chess

[The Bulge]

you've all done something I hate already this game except reck and porkens

I've decided I am going to ignore clidd for the time being

[The Bulge]

VOTE: bingle

[The Bulge]

What have you hated about Agar?

I think reck mentioned, the timing of his rage in 51 felt off within the context of the game. and his readslist doesn't say a whole lot about his reads on anyone. That being said I don't think it's very likely agar is scum

Why are you ignoring clidd?

I don't feel like giving myself a headache trying to read if it's all a scum act or a weird town gambit thing or some kind of trust tell and I'd much rather let it resolve somewhat before personally diving in. I will say though I felt violated the way he jumped on my naked bingle vote

Why are you voting for Bingle?

Bingle cannot generate content without some kind of mechanical or non-game-related crutch. their only game post was a fresh out of the ass critique of your freudposting that made no sense. Like they saw the post and said "I bet I can find something actionable here"

?

Is this a reference to the fact that I put non game related information into my game related posts, or an accusation that none of my posts are game related? Is there a particular reason that you've chosen not to engage with me over any of my stated reads?

Besides 94, can you point me to any instances in your iso of substantive commentary or attempts to advance the game/your reads? (If you want a 'par for the course', I found 2 lines) While you're at it, maybe an instance of me choosing to not engage with you?

This is a gross misunderstanding or misrepresentation. 43 is not “puffed up,” it is a deep analysis of the mindset behind post 4. There’s nothing extraneous about it; each idea supports the thesis and is needed for ancomplete analysis. Furthermore, I never accused Souk of “puffing up” their posts or called them scummy for “puffing up” posts. I don’t think you are making an honest analysis here.

The implication here is that post 4 is egregious and deserving of an in depth examination, more so than any other interaction at that point. You put an inane amount of effort into a psychological analysis of an RVS post, but have not put anywhere near that amount of effort into anything else in the thread, suggesting a reason for that post in particular to be singled out. Why then, does that post deserve that level of attention? Disproportionate response is 100% puffing up your post.

A note, my actual accusation, the meat of the scumread here, was that Porkens made a whole lot of something out of that post in order to put S&K at E-1 without announcing that it was an E-1 vote. Which... remains true.

Bingle is E-2, is he going to say something ?

Say it with me now... Geriatric. You should probably go read the linked Geriatric rules in the OP, because you seem to completely misunderstand them.

As far as the wagon on me, I'm not particularly worried, nor will it influence the way I play the game.

VOTE: Porkens

how difficult is it, do you think, to come up with a post like that? do you imagine porkens toiled very long over it?

[The Bulge]

i left the last part of the quote in for posterity

[The Bulge]

I had an unexpectedly very stressful morning. I'm going to take a bit to calm down and will hopefully be present and level-headed later

I'll include a spoiler of what I consider to be game content from me compared to what I consider to not be game content from me, but my point isn't that I've been insanely active and solvey. My point is that while I have done some mechanical speculation (it's kinda my thing) it's not the majority of what I've done nor am I hiding behind it.

Most of what you've highlighted is certainly you saying things about the game, yes. not what I asked for.

I'm also unsure how to quote you not doing something. I don't think either of us engaged the other, (until just now, when we're engaging with each other) and am curious as to why you chose not to if you were specifically scumreading me instead of just voting me.

that's my point. so then why bring it up?

If you're asking about things you could have engaged me over, my stated reads would have been the obvious place to start.

im ok, thanks

As far as Porken's post, I suspect changing the formatting to be more Sherlock-esque took more effort than making the post in the first place and he's exaggerating how much effort he put into it.

Where exactly? the only person I see making those claims is you.

If I'm wrong, I still find it difficult to swallow that he chose to put that effort in on an RVS before reading the rest of the thread to see if there was something more worthy of his time to analyse.

hard disagree, and an increasingly weird post to latch onto so hard given your emerging opinion of it

Lotsa folks high on their own stuff, huh?

KMD, where art thou to explain your Bingle vote more? I tire of patience.

Last couple MS posts have been :goodposting:, waiting to make sure the other head doesn't go and boof that progress for them.

Ayyo Porkens

, why you still voting clidd if clidd's outburst was towntelling to you to the point of aggressively coming at me for binning it as null and not something I care about?

Do you have any further thoughts on 200? the implied town!arrogance comes out of nowhere, and the attempt at minimizing the wagon on them at the end is weak.

eh, I'm waiting for mr Scott to pick at something besides others' flaws in logic before I give them the town stamp.

[The Bulge]

The bit about my hackles is this: If someone finds me scummy, and I am doing something odd, I would expect the person who found me scummy to call me out on that odd behavior. None of them have. Precisely 0 people have talked about how I was defending you, and that seems strange to me.

is there scum on your wagon?

[The Bulge]

I still think we would all benefit from forgetting about clidd's earlier posting for the time being and get him putting out new fresh shit

[The Bulge]

^clidds freshest shit

probably pretty easy to coast if half the thread is talking about a post from page 5 made almost a week ago

[The Bulge]

all this talk about "bugs bugs bugs bugs bugs", but nobody ever asks, how is the bulge ?

[The Bulge]

sigh UNVOTE:

What do you make of KMD's 224?

agree mainly with the last part, the rest seems a pretty fair recap. as for my read on kmd he is a bullseye null.

Scum just don't want to push me for ''?'' reasons.

weird thing to say. keep me out of your pocket

these are my reads and I also hate clidd's posting

join me reck. ignoring clidd is the better option for your health and that of the game/

[The Bulge]

@mod

I unvoted in 262

[The Bulge]

? Bell's entrance looks solid to me, what are others seeing?

[The Bulge]

Burden of proof for your statement what abotinarmos solidly town?

gesundheit!

OR

i asked first

[The Bulge]

I'd be satisfied with The Bulge.

most are

[The Bulge]

? Bell's entrance looks solid to me, what are others seeing?

Whats solid about it? I have the slot as town but it's not because of Bell.

I think he's approaching a replace-in the same way I do. there was one slot that pinged him and that he is now focusing on. reck feels like a natural choice ie not artificial. and I like the casual tone he takes in his replies.

[The Bulge]

@Bulge, not sure if you're conf biasing or pocketing me.

can't I just be townreading you ?If you read, that is about the first opinion I have given of your slot's alignment this game. I will say tho not a fan of 317

@Bulge why is the vote on Reck natural? Do you have any other town townreads besides Clidd?

hmm are you reading my posts? weird choice to use clidd's name here

the natural vote means it feels like a genuine choice of slot to pressure

@pork and @bulge, could you two use your vote? what do you think of the bingle/kmd interaction thing?

Why are you asking me to limit my answer to this lens when I have made my stance on Bingle quite clear in the thread?

preference for kmd (like just read that interaction with bingle), then bulge (i've spoken about bugs already, and bulge hasn't swept me off my feet either)

I understand "hasn't swept me off my feet" to mean I haven't done anything overtly Towny. but you keep saying it as if you have absolutely nothing to say about my posts one way or another? and your lack of engagement with me despite a focus on my predecessor's 4 bullshit posts enforces that point. what's the dealioo

[The Bulge]

I have a secret pocket scumread I'm excited about

[The Bulge]

I was miselimmed a tonne during my initial run of games here in 2011, although I'd like to think I can chalk that up to being 14 on the Internet. when I started on this account I was still pretty bad and extremely low-content, and I tended to flounder under the pressure of keeping up as either alignment. Before I left the site, I was lazy, depressed, with the attention span you'd expect of any stoner dropout, and little motivation to put any effort into my games, but now, I'm back

[The Bulge]

short answer 'idk'

[The Bulge]

it's ok I'm only upset because now I have to read clidd's early posts

[The Bulge]

sorry forgot to check in yesterday, I should have time for this tonight

[The Bulge]

somebody who is still bringing up bugspray knows he is town. this is fucking ridiculous, I refuse to believe that the most circumstantial meta read I have ever fucking heard is so universally known and respected. If i am scum I promise you there is something to find in my iso

[The Bulge]

no cc

I didn't get to this last night but I'll 100% be here this afternoon

[The Bulge]

search topic. bulge returns 72 matches. bugs* returns 69 matches. bugs* +bulge returns 13.

leaving this here while I read

[The Bulge]

I won't be eliminated today

[The Bulge]

oh this just got easy lmao

VOTE: sk

Was this directed at me? My read on Bugspray/you is more about SK's push on them than it is about Bugspray's content. I've stated numerous times why I'm not convinced that town!SK would strongly scumread Bugspray (or Agar) for the reasons that they provided.

Were you suggesting that I'm scum, and that I'm TMI'ng your slot as town?


- Date Mike (Volxen)

I was reading you and sk in iso to get a better understanding of the discussion and why I felt so ignored this game. I've been trying to make mikescum make sense to me all afternoon and I thought sk was town.

[The Bulge]

you were my secret scumread I mentioned, for earlier stated reasons that you were putting so much energy into a repped out player while ignoring the rest of the game

now that sk is scum i dont think you are likely their partner

[The Bulge]

which is cool because i've been racking my brain all day and now i can just smoke a bowl and wait for night

[The Bulge]

I'm the friendly neighbour if I didn't make that clear. crumbs are for chumps. if i die today my wagon is badtown, the rest are scum.

[The Bulge]

i mean that's fair which is why im going to look at some fish and won't be back until maybe 815. but if the timing of the claims is all that pushes it past 50/50, you should be looking at which d1 flip actually gives info

and to be perfectly honest i skimmed most of your long posts at first out of frustration at 1) too many words 2) ignoring my presence in the game, and thus didnt fully understand your stance until i looked back today

[The Bulge]

scumread because my previous slot owner repped out and eliminated because i didn't randomly claim for no reason. what a town.

[The Bulge]

anyway if im dead before deadline don't let mike skate the game by on locktown reads just from applying coherent streams of logic. and somebody do something about agar.

[The Bulge]

porkens was my pick for tonight until kmd claimed me as a secondary target ftr

[The Bulge]

I'm the friendly neighbour if I didn't make that clear. crumbs are for chumps. if i die today my wagon is badtown, the rest are scum.

I knew you were implying a CC with your vote on SK. I don't believe you just because SK claimed first and you are the CC'er -- scum!you has every reason to CC town!SK in this gamestate, since you are the competing wagon and we are a few hours away from the deadline.


- Date Mike (Volxen)

Also @Bulge: Another reason why it makes sense for scum!you to CC town!SK here is to try and setup SK and us as back-to-back mis-eliminations. Because if I took your CC at face value and voted SK, then after you flip red on day 2 it looks like I was trying to buy you an extra day so we can deal with the JK and avoid any townies becoming confirmed.


- Date Mike (Volxen)

why are these posts addressed to me

[The Bulge]

I won't be eliminated today

why would I say this without a claim from reck?

[The Bulge]

cool. ive got a date with a turtle.

[The Bulge]

i realize i never clarified my read on bingle. i liked his responses and recent posts seem townier. wouldnt have put my vote back there today.

[The Bulge]

almost at the aquarium so im gonna keep posting for 5 mins til ari gets here

or maybe i have nothing to say

[The Bulge]

who has questions for your friendly neighbour while he smokes a spliff in the parking lot

[The Bulge]

i wonder if sk expected the cc to come from me
