[VP Baltar]

This is likely my last post before my family gets in town, so apologies I can't respond as in depth to the past 5 pages I just skimmed as I would like.

But...

Current feeling: VPB/Osuka team, if town in there then scum in Skitter/Hellbooks
Rest can be town

Do you see alignment in those pairs or you just PoE'd the game?

Bit of both. I do townread the other 4 more than you 4, but I also skimmed the combined ISO and the interaction between everyone there felt very blegh. iirc either small interactions shoved at the end of posts or none at all. The puzzle pieces just click quite well within the group.

Meuh, I feel like you're talking out of both sides of your mouth about this group of potential scum you posted.

I specifically asked you about alignment in those pairs because that was what I found most bizarre. I think osuka is making a good point about you attacking him when he hadn't really even posted.

The above post is you saying you do see some alignment there in the way those slots are interacting.

But then in these past pages, someone (tris maybe?) is asking you about this and you're like "lol it's just poe".

This I'd why I find your scum list unbelievable. I don't see how a person draws a conclusion those scum most likely break down that way, and I don't think you actually believed it when you said it either given how wishy washy you are on it. Also you're saying I'm scummier but you voted osuka, who hadn't posted. Pardon me? RED ALERT RED ALERT

[VP Baltar]

baltar's probably scum lol

y

i don't believe that he thinks he's been pretty townie this game, for one

he finds a perverse enjoyment in saying just blatantly completely wrong things when he's scum and then laughing as people trip over themselves thinking that scum would never

lol alright.

How could I think I'm being townie at all, ur right

[VP Baltar]

I don't know what to think of fire voting meuh. It almost feels like a bluff.

[VP Baltar]

Whatever, let's call the bluff then.

UNVOTE:
VOTE: meuh



byyyyeeeeee

[Skygazer]

@fire: idk vibes? there's an element of me never wanting to push friends and im not sure if thats impacting the vibes

i also thought about it and feel like i can see her SRing me as town here. and like her push on me makes not a lot of sense to me but i feel like scum-ausuka likes to make more sense

just push me if you want to. the chances of me ever really getting into this game after everything thats happened is pretty slim

okay but this feels townie i would have to go back to check but i dont remember scum-ausuka coming across as defeatist/demotivated?

[Skygazer]

uhhhh VOTE: baltar

still lookin for that brain cell

[skitter30]

I think i'm leaning towards town-baltar here

[Skygazer]

is that elaboratable

[Ausuka]

UNVOTE:

shrug

don't really think it's meuh and.dont see the big issue with having a Poe and thinking people in that Poe would work as scum together

I literally explained my vote already do you have an issue with the logic there? and is that seriously how you interpreted my answer to Tris? Are you just really poorly interpreting what I'm saying or are you not trying to sort me in the first place?

Probably the latter since this post is incredibly disingenuous.
You want my vote on you instead, here you go!

VOTE: Baltar

Pedit:

[Ausuka]

I don't agree that fire's posts are superficial and I think he's towny but people were saying the same about my posts so maybe there's an elevated form of Content i simply don't comprehend

[Ausuka]

specifically I think when osuka was like, no you have to demonstrate to me that you're posting important things and fire was like 'no.go.away' I sympathized with that and i think it feels more likely to come from a town mindset Vs appeasing osuka

[Ausuka]

I'm not sure baltar is scum for the meuh thing tho cos it kind of reads like he just got super fixated.on the part about pairs for whatever reason

[Ausuka]

I guess I don't really scumread sky anymore? The situation with her and skitter is difficult for me.to.sort out because everyone thinks I'm being stupid for reasons I don't really understand but if people do think that it's difficult for me to.assert skitter's actions come.from.a place of being scum

[skitter30]

is that elaboratable

I like his questioning of meuh

[skitter30]

But i'm not sure i'm convinced meuh is scum here, idk

[VP Baltar]

Scum power rankings this game (definitive list):

(Town)
VP
Tris
Hellbrooks
Skitter
Osuka
Sky
Ausuka
Fire
Meuh
(Scum)

[VP Baltar]

@meuh, I don't agree with your "logic" because I don't believe you truly think that's the PoE. I don't believe you think ausuka is so town, she shouldn't be considered until later. This smacks of creative fiction. While I do think skitter was pushing a bit over the top early, I think you stretched that very far to an illogical point of ausuka is towning it up. By ausuka's own admission, she is disengaged. That's NAI.

[fireisredsir]

disclaimer that this post is probably superficial and not very Content, im just thinking out loud about gamestate

this game feels weird in that it feels like most people are kind of in the thick of things and fighting with each other, but in every direction possible. there definitely isn't really town cohesion but town cohesion is often a lie anyway and in a small game like this sometimes is more likely to come from scum trying to get on people's good sides

like for example meuh and i have somewhat similar reads on things. but im hesitant to agree with her because im also suspicious of her. there's no real strong consensus reads anywhere and i think everyone has someone that is suspicious of them

i think things just feel really chaotic and messy and things are flying in every direction and i think that means scum are either not working together (or are actively placing themselves on opposite sides here and pushing each other), or there's one main scum who's mostly fighting it out solo and the other one is more on the sidelines

i lean towards the former more, i think? but maybe that's just because that makes my current individual reads more plausible

i also think that in these types of gamestates where there clearly isn't any town cohesion, i don't think there's a super high success rate of sorting out the knot of players in the middle of it especially on the first try, since with low vote totals it doesn't take much for scum to tip the scales into a direction that favors them

so i think what I'm saying as a result of this is that right now i want to try to find town and work with them more than i want to try to dive in sort out the mess

[fireisredsir]

i guess if i could find town within the mess then that would accomplish both goals but im not really sure i can do that

that's probably the optimal thing to do though

[fireisredsir]

skitter and baltar can you towncase each other?

[hellbooks]

This post bugs the hell out of me, mostly. Meuh's obv pushing you, but idk how she sees Hellbrooks as your buddy.

i dont actually know why its so implausible and i also think she said it waslike poe in response to you asking whethrer it was

i'm off to eat food because there is a void in my stomach that might actually bend spacetime if i dont go attend to that situation fairly soon, but i promise ill be back in a bit to post the hottest takes in all of space and time

its a reach but i think this is like a timy bit scummy

what if we all just took a deep breath and a step back and then wagoned meuh
meuh, are you ok withthat ? just lmk

Ooh sounds fun

GRRRR RRRRUFFF BARK BARK GROWLLL AWOOOOO VOTE: meuh i hope thisisnt like hammering you im still 4 pages behind (alsopossible im already voting you and just forgor)

even if i don't end up feeling like i want to stick with the meuh vote (possible. i am feeling mercurial), hellbooks keeps like assessing the gamestate and the direction in which it should go and proposing that direction in like the same way that i am feeling at the time of reading it and i think that's worth at least 1 townpoint

my favorite genre of posts (not a hint of irony btw) in this game is when fireisredsir goes like "i guess this thing hellbooks is doing can be kinda town..." it makes me think like im fighting against some original sin like my ledger started out at like -10 and im only clawing my way back to the slightest sliver of towniness by sheer relentlessness of will
