I’m masons with hem

while funny this feels like it could be trying to bait a PR. I thought it was srs and I nearly revealed my slot (be that vanilla or power you choose) at this. bit sus

also are you explicitly suspicious of one or both of me and hem because i didn’t start that interaction

you turned the joke into a bait so more sus of you

[StraightFlush]

i'm super confused about your read on my slot, straightflush. can you tell me more about the story of how you read my slot?

I simply didn't know what to make of it until the last 7-8 pages, at which point he began reading like scum cracking under pressure (mainly from Ketchup) and lashing out.

[humaneatingmonkey]

can you tell me which posts he started to begin to read like scum and what was the pressure he was responding to, and what posts were him lashing out?

If this helps any, here are posts that have expressed my main issue(s) with the most recent gameplay by dragon:
687, 738, 782, 787, 793, 797, 800

i read the thread, and i understand, but i want to hear this from straightflush as it will help us read his slot better.

Gotcha. Wasn’t sure if it was in general or just him. Carry on.

Don’t be afraid to say thoughts no matter how small or confident

582 was the first obviously hostile post, starting an argument with Jackson. More telling, however, is 587, where he says he's "voting the only person he feels comfortable voting". He then exchanges a couple more nothingburger posts before retiring for the night. The next morning he comes out swinging with a Jackson vote at 680, refusing to elaborate further. He also says "finally, a wagon" when there is no semblance of a Jackson wagon at the time, suggesting he thinks more people will support him than actually will because he's just that much smarter than everyone else. From there he begins arguing with Ketchup and positing that he is simply bad at making reads, and starts mansplaining all over the place. The Jackson vote strikes me as petty and the continued arguments with new people strike me as desperate. KayJay then probes Dragon about his behavior and insists in 692 that his views are not just shaped by ketchup's opinions of him, saying that there are other examples, but refusing to cover those other examples in any more depth. By 761 he seems to have cooled off and reaffirms his vote on Skitter, but just a few minutes later he sheeps Ydrasse's vote using evidence that already existed well before he had any inkling of suspicion about me, which is shallow and reads like kowtowing for towncred to accelerate the decline of the wagon on him. I also read his sub-out as petty but apparently we're supposed to avoid talking about that (unrealistic) so I'll leave it there.

Hi let me catch up

He’s back! Let’s gooo

[StraightFlush]

Dragon was the only person trying to move the gamestate forward for a while, which was towny at least in theory (more mixed in execution), but he declined so sharply more recently, especially while I was sleeping last night, that I simply cannot ignore it.

Splitting into paragraphs wasn’t invented before this post came about

I fuckin love live blogging vs catch all catchup posts! I’m ready!

[zachheus]

Hmmmmmm that seems circular but okay

Yeah it is, because Im purposefully dodging the question lol

You can only keep your intentions about this stuff to yourself for so long before it starts to get anti-town. I believe I mentioned the same thing to yessiree in that normal and the same applies here

I was holding onto this thought for a while actually which is why I haven't changed my vote at all yet. At first it was random tho

[zachheus]

Oops maybe not what you wanted KJQ

What’s a paragraph

[JacksonVirgo]

Difficulty reading aside, banger of a post

[KayJayQueue]

I want it all, go off!

[skitter30]

I'm kinda vla on fridays/saturdays, I'll be back later in the weekend

[humaneatingmonkey]

skitter being V/LA on weekends is obviously cowardice so scumpoints for that

I’ve stopped townreading that a long ass time ago, it’s such an silly reason to townread someone since it’s usually just hit or miss. It’s accurate only because it’s more likely to be town by numbers alone. That’s my stance on reading someone “pushing out of rvs” just on its own. Other factors change this but those don’t apply here

Betrayal oml
