Also hey vex, good to see you again :)

I agree with the expressed thoughts on neighbour-claiming, but when it comes down to it, we are all neighbours, in a way, just some more friendly than others :P

I kind of like Yeet coming out the gate with the plan to keep neighbourhoods under wraps, so mild townread for that. I also have a verrry light townread on Bella for mentioning the lover version. (I know this sounds weird but I can’t really explain it properly but the logic is there in my head I swear)

Obviously all of this could change at any moment, but it’s a start

Eeehhh...

I have small townreads on Deas and Vex, though they’re rooted in “glad to see things moving along a bit” mostly. The commentary about setup is dull and NAI, so that didn’t do anything.

The early portions of games are awful.
I agree with this.

cuz there was already a vote there

why are you asking for reasons behind rvs votes and not for any serious votes?
Do you have a serious vote.

In post 70, Vex Vience wrote:VOTE: bulge

i agree with the reasoning given so far. i don't think bulge has done anything substantial, and i think something like this will bring the game out of barely any posting.
In post 72, Save The Dragons wrote:VOTE: Deasvail
Ehh... this feels notable.

The vote onto Bulge was an unstated E-1, though I
guess
it could be argued that Vex wanted that to see the reaction. As soon as it drops, Dragons immediately swings away from that thought -- the Bulge read, the pressure that his vote had -- and leaves it right where it was before.

My gut instinct was that it was towny to not call attention to the E-1 at all, because it feels easy to point out that someone casually voted someone to near-death and apply some easy pressure. Not taking that route felt like Dragons didn't want the credit for it. But... looking at it twice, given the read that came just before the lack of notice towards the E-1 feels... strange? Stranger, even, ha ha.

It just feels counterintuitive to undermine someone providing pressure, even if it's not a strong read. And if you wanted to do something meaningful with your vote, why not leave it where is, point out where we're at, see what happens?

The Deas vote doesn't do a lot for me because the reasoning feels open-ended and like it invites interpretation of what the performance is right now, but I think that could be corrected with follow up.

You unvoted someone who was put on E-1 after saying you agreed with the read on the person who was put on E-1 without mentioning it and moving somewhere with open-ended/vague reasons. The entire sequence feels off.

e-1 without announcing it was accidental, but after i realized it, i went along with it because i thought it provides the following things:

1) if someone hammers without realizing it's e-1, then we have that discussion, and i genuinely believe town are more likely to
not
quickhammer like that, so it might out a scum.
2) if someone calls out me for not announcing it's e-1, it comes with the point of "what do you think of that, and do you think it's scummier than what bulge has done thus far?" and provides content for the game.

@stranger - do you think std is more likely to flip scum than bulge then? and if so, what do you think of bulge?

also the assertion i havent provided game related content is absurd. i have asked more game-relevant questions than probably anyone. and nobody is trying to engage with me, on or off wagon. feels like my wagon is nothing more than a device for scum to get past a slow-moving D1.

i can't tell if ur being serious about this, and if you are being serious, i want you to re-evaluate where your head is at currently, because it's not right

i guess my problem is that i specifically said it wasn't a strong read, so you can see why i might not want to be at E-1 with someone so early in the game. with that knowledge, why leave my vote to see what happens when people lolhammer all the time

we're about halfway through the day, so i don't really see the reason behind not wanting someone at e-1, in an already slow game.

I'm not massively tr-ing either slot but like...I hadn't noticed the little things that std pointed out .
