[The Bulge]

VOTE: Redcardinal

Serious vote that’s a scum opener 100%

odd starts all around tbh

[The Bulge]

I doubt it really does

[The Bulge]

Also I don't think no elim is an option we have.

[The Bulge]

rules say a player would be picked at random. anyway

VOTE: redcardinal

[The Bulge]

what are your thoughts on any posts so far?

[The Bulge]

a townslip does not make a townslot

koba will fake for cred as either alignment.

[The Bulge]

pretending to not know the mafia have no kill

[The Bulge]

what's bad about it hiraki?

[The Bulge]

opportunistic how exactly? sounds buzzwordy.

[The Bulge]

Along that train of thought I haven't seen any justification from Alonzo for voting me either and The Bulge voting me for not having anything to say about people's posts by page 2 is just weak, so there's not much to say about that. BB what makes koba town? PEDIT: taking the opportunity to do nothing but focus a townie and get by looking like he's applying pressure when there's no substance

it's page 3 now and everyone you just mentioned you've shaded. crazy how time flies.

[The Bulge]

PEDIT: taking the opportunity to do nothing but focus a townie and get by looking like he's applying pressure when there's no substance

substantive enough for you to form a read against tho no?

[The Bulge]

do you understand the question?

[The Bulge]

it's not really a question tbf I'm saying you're using words you don't mean because they sound right. buzzz.

[The Bulge]

do you understand the question?

Nope. I just said I scumread him for lack of substance.

The Bulge voting me for not having anything to say about people's posts by page 2 is just weak

???

[The Bulge]

seems a little early to be ignoring lhf

[The Bulge]

I feel like I sorta took the reins from you on that one. where would you have steered after 57?

[The Bulge]

so you're saying leave it and let the read bloom naturally?

[The Bulge]

do you understand the question?

Nope. I just said I scumread him for lack of substance.

The Bulge voting me for not having anything to say about people's posts by page 2 is just weak

???

and I've had a lot more to say since then, plus I'm not hard pushing for anyone in particular at the expense of making any commentary about the game beyond a tunnel and a claim that someone scummy is town.

you're ignoring the importance of the content:fluff ratio of your two ISOs. Bbmolla has

not

had a lot more to say since then, so by your own words, your vote is weak.

[The Bulge]

can we just ignore RC they're obviously just LHF who are going to distract us. i mean we could policy them but i'd rather get scum or someone I don't townread lmao

distract you from what? Is there something I'm missing?

was going to ask this. quoting for posterity.

[The Bulge]

so you're saying leave it and let the read bloom naturally?

@Koba, re:LHF

[The Bulge]

getting tunneled has the effect of clouding my reads in a negative way if its from town. although if scum tries to hardtunnel me it fucks them over bc i end up solving the game from my POV bad faith tunnels are in general a distraction bc the slot in question becomes 10x harder to read.

are you meaning to imply anything about my alignment here?

[The Bulge]

me having a lot more to say makes me town. BB not having a lot more to say makes him scum. That's as clear as I can get bulge. At this point you're doing this on purpose

doing what? I disagree with koba and I'd like to sort or catch you early.

posting and saying nothing of use is very different from not posting, because bbmolla's alignment this game is most likely not affecting the goings about of his day.

[The Bulge]

because bbmolla's alignment this game is most likely not affecting the goings about of his day.

half the things you say are confusing and it's frustrating me

are you confused about my intent or my wording?

[The Bulge]

VOTE: Hiraki

where is this coming from?

[The Bulge]

use your vote!

[The Bulge]

yea misread the timestamp, mb

[The Bulge]

It's not obvious. But being an entitled townie is more harmful than a humble one if scum are gonna push on it. And if it's your defense that being entitled makes you town, I claim WIFOM.

thought progression seems weird here. first part reads as possibly tmi. second part was just unprovoked and oddly specific, which makes it look not only overly self-conscious but also like pre-emptive damage control for a weak statement.

[The Bulge]

what's bad about it hiraki?

Opportunistic. What pressure are you obtaining right now? Do you intend to lynch redcardinal?

I'll take opportunistic. for me it wasnt for pressure, besides the speed and timing being important. it was purely for some early info.

Along that train of thought I haven't seen any justification from Alonzo for voting me either and The Bulge voting me for not having anything to say about people's posts by page 2 is just weak, so there's not much to say about that.

Why does scumCardinal do this? Newbscum?

we are looking at the same joindate yea?

[The Bulge]

bed time~~

[The Bulge]

VOTE: ASP

[The Bulge]

Sorry, shitty day. I'll be on later.

extend deadline

[The Bulge]

life happens. the deadline thing was selfish, alonzo is probscum lol but 1) seems too easy and 2) i dont wanna miss day 1 for the sake of my own play

I'm schleep rn but ill be on tomorrow some time it would be cool if the thread were still unlocked

[The Bulge]

unless like

they really are that obvscum

[The Bulge]

im down to talk asp tomorrow btw

[The Bulge]

because bbmolla's alignment this game is most likely not affecting the goings about of his day.

half the things you say are confusing and it's frustrating me

being busy irl =/= a scumtell

that's a fair point

what the hell

[The Bulge]

koba is town

let's eliminate cardinal already this game is fucking easy

I think redcardinal is scummy but the wagon is worse.

sick bro

give me more please you're going to be one of the more difficult reads in this game

Vaguely "town!bb" vibes off of this string. Nothing super solid, but getting a vibe of classic BB "every thought is a post" town play.

super early for this, no? if my role is red or green it doesn't change how i type 10-word posts. tmi on a universal tr IMO

[The Bulge]

@redcardinal

In the moment it felt like a slip to not know the mechanics, and I felt it was a fair vote. You kept on the no lynch talk longer than I felt nessecary having declared my preference for a lynch today.

why do you think it should matter to anyone at this stage of the game what your single preference is for today?

[The Bulge]

VOTE: Hiraki

where is this coming from?

Feel like Cardinal had a few posts out there now and we should pressure others to contribute, can always revisit cardinal in a day or two if needs be.

are you reading? when was the redcardinal push ever about pushing for contributions? how is the rc wagon at all the same as pushing an inactive slot? ???

[The Bulge]

FYI I hard TR ASP. I don't see what's scummy about him.

is that why you hard TR him or are there more specific reasons?

[The Bulge]

I voted nona originally to try and see if bb would flinch, but when you claimed cold feet *that fast* on nona, especially because I don't even think you were voting nona because you think nona is scum, I think you were voting nona to get more info from nona through pressure and to see bb's reaction to it, that just seems like your motives are changing in a way I don't think townie's motives change.

is this how you'd expect mafia's motives to change? in what way do you think townies' motives change? best as you can describe it.

[The Bulge]

Not being manipulative XD

Anyone who thinks that obviously hasn't been on the recieving end of your manipulation so far...

are you gonna do anything this game or

[The Bulge]

I don't fully get ASP's scumread on RC.

how much energy are you putting in to try and "get" asp's rc read? important question.

[The Bulge]

Even after all of that, you still haven't given one good reason for Nona. If I wanted to vote someone for doing nothing, I'd vote TheBulge at this point. He has 39 posts and yet I honestly can't remember a single position he's taken without re-reading.

now what good does this little shot at me do if you're not even gonna check eh

[The Bulge]

can you respond to 327 pls

[The Bulge]

I'm asking more hypothetically. you said their motives changed in a way you wouldnt expect from a townie. so what guides a town mindset, in your opinion?

[The Bulge]

and, separate question, what do you think koba's motivation here actually is if they are scum? are you implying they are only pushing agendas rather than being genuine, or just that they were inconsistent?

[The Bulge]

that's good thank you

[The Bulge]

I don't fully get ASP's scumread on RC.

how much energy are you putting in to try and "get" asp's rc read? important question.

uh, the usual amount?

the usual amount for...?

[The Bulge]

one thing that is bothering me is that all the people im townreading the most are voting all over the place :/

townread me then, i tunnel

[The Bulge]

Bulge, what's the deal with the asp wagon?

not my wagon! i just voted first

[The Bulge]

there's only 2 maf tho?

[The Bulge]

You said you were down to talk asp? Or did you mean down to talk to asp?

both i guess.

[The Bulge]

a lot of posts read somewhat fake, i already highlighted the ones that pinged me most and iirc did not get much in the way of a response? he picks the easiest/most glaring posts to comment on, and his readslist is safe as hell with a super weird post around it.

[The Bulge]

why haven't you?

[The Bulge]

what have you read up to so far tn?

[The Bulge]

i disagree

[The Bulge]

er not necessarily about looking at their so, but i dont see evidence of them Not doing any analysis

[The Bulge]

*iso

[The Bulge]

i mean not really

im saying lack of described analysis in-thread doesn't necessarily mean they are only surface-reading or have no thoughts

[The Bulge]

not endorsing or anything

but i tend to not show all my cards as town, could be a similar style

[The Bulge]

taking bets on who's not gonna show up on tomorrow's ballot

[The Bulge]

(don't actually do that pls)

[The Bulge]

I'm still waiting on an answer from NONA

[The Bulge]

predictable

if there's scum it's probs hiraki but i could see bb pulling the wifom card early

[The Bulge]

im actually really shocked neither RC or I made the list though

I'm not sure I believe this

[The Bulge]

alonzo's iso is useless and I haven't reread d1 yet so meh, shade wasn't my intent

fmpov the choices make perfect sense if you compare to those who were not chosen

[The Bulge]

a) tunneled by alonzo, in a specific way to make it frame me as a weak bus

this is interesting, tho

[The Bulge]

fmpov the choices make perfect sense if you compare to those who were not chosen

actually let me work this out before I forget

without having yet reread:

there are no universal TRs this game. but we three are the backburner slots, whether or not people have suspicions of us, we've been collectively sorted ((for now)) as probtown.

all other momentum from any d1 discussion halts.

I think this might make us all town

[The Bulge]

I might be misunderstanding your point but i don't think vca matters the same way with plurality elims

[The Bulge]

why is asp town?

[The Bulge]

why is asp town?

[The Bulge]

lmao

[The Bulge]

why is asp town?

bc they were pushing alonzo on D1? lmfao who the fuck busses their partner on DAY 1

for all your wifom theories, I was expecting something stronger here

[The Bulge]

why is asp town?

bc they were pushing alonzo on D1? lmfao who the fuck busses their partner on DAY 1

for all your wifom theories, I was expecting something stronger here

u trying to keep the lynchpool completely wide open is extremely scummy goodbye

get townreads that actually makes sense <3

how is that even relevant when we only have 3 options today, 1 of which I know is a miselim and 2 of which I'm sorta convinced of the same? of course I want to keep the limpool open and not kill all d1 discussion that is literally what I've been saying

[The Bulge]

because I think scum is someone else

[The Bulge]

I'll have more to say hopefully once i reread. Nona needs to answer my latest question soon as they check in. you and rc have same scum equity imo but idk who is my third pick with Nona and asp.

pedit my poe is "i think scum is in the other 4" and not because of who was nommed, but probably for the same reason that we were.

[The Bulge]

nah just one of em probs

[The Bulge]

also full disclosure idk what scum equity means if it doesnt mean you'd be in the same tier of my readslist

[The Bulge]

also imo a pretty terrible day entrance for me to have nommed myself lmao

[The Bulge]

your solve is a boring one, and it doesnt give me much credit

[The Bulge]

extensions blah blah deadlines blah blah zzzzzzzz

you are all aware of the setup we're playing yes?

[The Bulge]

and I sure had a lot of follow-up to my extension to save my buddy huh

[The Bulge]

I already explained why i popped it koba did you miss that?

[The Bulge]

if that's the way the vote goes

[The Bulge]

what I'm getting at is that your scumread on asp doesn't seem to affect how you are trying to parse his reads.

[The Bulge]

I don't fully get ASP's scumread on RC.

how much energy are you putting in to try and "get" asp's rc read? important question.

uh, the usual amount?

the usual amount for...?

...a scumread? a player you know for a fact to be town? pick one

[The Bulge]

hiraki did you consider that I didn't know alonzo was scum when I extended the deadline?

[The Bulge]

it's concerning me somewhat that dkkoba is treating in a dismissive manner I have only seen from them as town against players making bad faith pushes against them. I don't think I did anything to aggravate them.

[The Bulge]

VOTE: Hiraki

[The Bulge]

I wanna restate that I think today is a 100% town pool

[The Bulge]

I want to get an actual read of the game in to solidify my thoughts, especially if i'm today's yeet. would appreciate if we could hold off until at least tomorrow night.

[The Bulge]

cool

[The Bulge]

pretty scummy hammer imo

[The Bulge]

idk why everyone is being so conservative with the deadline thing lmao it's not even a mechanic of the setup its just a mod thing

[The Bulge]

im upset everyone who thought i was scum basically also thought i was a dumbass

[The Bulge]

sorry i never got to reread, life has been taking big shits on me the last week or so

nona probscum could be koba idk about asp anymore who cares do your own research

pce

[The Bulge]

idk why you're being so hostile with me
