i think these last couple pages are some of the better posting sheep has done in a while (as either alignment tbh, but i think it's generally towny and it a higher bar of scumposting than he's had if scum)

so i would encourage people not to just skip past them

And by "quite a while" you mean THE LAST 48 HOURS???

ffs

I was barely even functional last night after a long exhausting day at work yesterday and still tried to respond to you even though my head was foggy and I could hardly put a few coherent words together.

I literally do not even know WHAT THE HELL THIS MEANS. How can you understand that evaluating people who are pushing you is a good way to evaluate them and NOT UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS GOING TO INVOLVE SELF-DEFENSE

guh, I'm going to bed, this is stupid and obnoxious and I don't know why I'm even bothering

yah sorry for the stuff coming off hurtfully. im definitely rly grateful for u putting in a lot of effort and making the game bearable amidst everyone's apathy lol. like u legit have a lot of insightful thoughts and I find it a much better experience to play with

fire is sort of saying it, I'll try to think of a better way to put what im thinking. like the subconscious motivations below your work just feel more like what how I'd characterize scum's motivations, achieving enough lims over the course of the game that aren't oneself, rather than town motivations, which I think would look like trying to more precisely nail which person has the better chance of being wolf over the rest of the poe, if I had to guess

the part about the exchange with me. like, my personal experience is that when im town, and someone is pushing me, I just naturally gain a good gut sense of their alignment because I want to. and when im wolf I dont really get the feeling (I have tmi), so there's not much for me to express related to that. but maybe that's an unfair expectation to place on others and only a me thing

Vote Count 3.8

A 1974 study by the NCC (Natal Crime Commission) in Scarfolk discovered that 2 out of 5 pregnant women were not turning up for the birth of their own child.

Doctors rejected the hypothesis that backstreet, occult practitioners might be responsible, but failed to solve how babies were bypassing the traditional medium of a biological mother and delivering themselves into the world.

When some of the absentee mothers were tracked down they couldn't account for their lack of attendance, though eye-witnesses placed the women in various locations at the time that they should have been giving birth: at cocktail parties, playing Bingo, watching the radio, reading grimoires in the coven library and communing naked with a black-pelted half-man, half-goat in supermarket car parks.

Children born as a result of maternal misdemeanours tended not to get along with other children, particularly because they levitated uncontrollably. Many schools were forced to enclose their grounds inside large nets or perspex domes to catch the drifting minors.

The way you two are constantly having each others' backs like this is ridiculous. I engage in a discussion I don't even freaking need to have because there's not really much risk that Dunn actually pops up to hammer me after his last expressed thoughts on the subject were that he'd rather flip sheep than me (did I check this before actually getting into things, no, I guess if were scum I guess I'd probably be paying more attention to that sort of thing). I get attacked and belittled by sheep and accused of self-defense for responding naturally to what he's saying. And then he comes to the same damn conclusion about who to flip next that I had started with that he's been attacking me over!

This is so clearly a scum meltdown I don't know how to help anyone who can't tell

I'm genuinely tempted to offer myself up to get it done and that's not a thing I do

Why the eff would I meltdown if I were scum and sheep is the lim and all I can do is make people hate me more by talking instead of just shut up?

Yeah the idea that I'm just freaking offended by the idea that somehow I'm the one supposedly not trying when you're sitting here acting like this, oh that's just ridiculous.
