VOTE: osuka

[Meuh]

Forgot prod timer wasn't 48 hours
I feel like Osuka's last few posts (and the general tonal shift in them) is the most significant thing posted by him so far but I'm not sure what to make of it.

[Meuh]

Like I can look at them one way and it matches up with a mentality I end up having sometimes when feeling pretty blegh about the game as town, but I can look at them another way and it's weird apologetic scum posting
The contrast with the rest of Osuka's posting is striking

[skitter30]

Meuh's kinda scummy too

[Meuh]

Is that elaboratable?

[skitter30]

What do 627/628 even mean?

[Skygazer]

Is that elaboratable?

playing MS on edibles has come back to haunt me many times but this has been the funniest haunting

[Skygazer]

@Skitter

and to be completely honest yeah i’m sort of checking boxes at this point because this game feels like it is fully stalled and id rather not make shit up because that’s never productive and helps nobody or anything

like i don’t think i have much to add to anything at this point because i’ll either just restate what i’ve already said or reread the entire thread and talk about shit that is so old none of us remember it anymore

This post, for example, I can see 2 ways.

1: osuka here reminds me of my own mentality when I feel like I've hit a wall and I start doubting myself in a game, feeling lost. In that sense it connects to a mentality I've had several times before which I like.

2: The doubt communicated here, in conjunction with Fire having just voted for him, feels like a deliberate appeal. Especially since osuka's tone is vastly different than it was the rest of the game. osuka's hiding behind doubt and bad feelings about the gamestate (both of which would be townie things) to justify his lack of proactive activity.

Looking at it again I'm leaning towards option 2. The tonal contrast between this post and the handful before with the rest of his posts feels off. osuka here also seems to see proactively thinking about the game purely as a means to make posts to boost discussion, and not to improve his own reads.
"like i don’t think i have much to add to anything at this point because i’ll either just restate what i’ve already said or reread the entire thread and talk about shit that is so old none of us remember it anymore"
this here seems to see the only point of rereading the thread as contributing to the thread, when osuka could also look over it just to obtain stronger reads? This perspective seems scum indicative actually, there's been points during the game where I've reread stuff or looked at ISOs purely to get a better personal grasp of the game without posting takeaways from it, while osuka seems to view rereading purely as a means to get more material to post about.
osuka's mentality actually looks more like "oh shit I have nothing to post about" than "oh shit I'm lost in the game and don't have a good grasp of it". The latter is what I thought his mentality could be but it actually doesn't line up.
I'm chill with an osuka lim at this point

[Meuh]

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

If it’s actually VPB/Osuka, I deserve the Nobel Peace Prize

[skitter30]

@meuh in 634 you kinda sound like your justifying an osuka vote to urself

[fireisredsir]

i kind of agree with that but i also kind of agree with the post itself and im not sure what to do with that

[osuka]

at work so cant be bothered to post anything intelligent right now, but i do need to point out that none of you can read me

[osuka]

any of you that have played with me in the past should know better

[hellbooks]

osuka wagon response is the tiniest bit town to me but maybe im too easily swayed by things as that
definitely down for a expeditious meuh pivot
honestly is tris not literally coasting scum
also do the skitter antis still feel that way and just moved on to bigger priorities

[hellbooks]

honestly ausuka also vanished after people stopped voting her

[Skygazer]

ive been leaning more towards vanishing = nai lately simply because i vanish a lot as either alignment

[hellbooks]

right -- honestly i think broadly speaking scum has more of an incentive to not vanish but such a thing is context dependent and i thoguht it was worth pointing out that maybe this fits into what the ausuka haters were saying regarding her play being reactive or whatever

[Skygazer]

i mean it is interesting timing but i feel like the only time ausuka rlly "disappeared" in monkey business was when she was when she got written off by everyone as always town and she took on like more of a background role

[skitter30]

I mean people stopped pushing her here so i think this is somewhat analogous tbh

[hellbooks]

if you go take a look at skygazers iso youll see that like over half of her posts are dedicated to chainsawing ausuka off of meta

[hellbooks]

which perversely i cant seem to help but townread

[hellbooks]

the real 10 page gdoc was the posts we made along the way

[Ausuka]

honestly ausuka also vanished after people stopped voting her

Did i really vanish

i thought i was never posting meaningful content lol
