Since my post seems to have been lost to the internet ether. Kokichi is both a scumlean for me and in my view, a bit of a wild card. Even if he was townlean from me, I don't want someone who is as unpredictable as I have seen him be.

Sorry should have made you host.

Now I get why you are mad at me, and now I get not to make votes or posts before fully catching up.

Also im lame
I mean, I didn't mention it because I thought you would finish reading before making a vote you cannot withdraw.

It was pinging me a bit as well, I've been more concerned about the runner up on hosting than that, but I remember seeing that and going "Weird"

Sorry, didnt mean to quote the titus post in that last one.

Brass- My apologies then. I never thought we would have one of those.

Regarding the kokichi slot, its pretty flamboyant and risky as scum to go so out of the way to put attention to oneself. Im pretty sure I dont want that slot in the endgame, but I can easily live with having him around today at least. I dont really have a big read since he has posted a ton and I kinda skimmed his posts, but at worst he makes the game interesting and will give us great material if he flips scum later, and at best he is town and is just being risky.

I will still reread him later on tonight.

Im at work being a bad worker, getting paid to play mafia.

i took a lot at Kokichi's scumgame earlier. i'm not great at metaing games i'm not in, but from this game i do like Kokichi. don't really feel towncasing someone not up for lynch, and i like Titus or Kokichi for secondary host.

HEAL: brass

i forget how to do larges. or why i joined this.

can players townreading Varsoon talk to me about that? i think i've gotten somewhat capable of finding town Varsoon, but i've never seen scum him and i can't find what i like from Varsoon's towngame. the focus on Elbirn is bugging me, and i don't know if i buy his confidence or how he came to the conclusion.

I'd say a solid town lean on the slot from me. Also, she seems to be pretty level headed and not against being a leader, two qualities I cannot say that the other two choices have.

Reviewing her iso makes me feel better about a choice of her as runner up.

#Shaziro for world president.

don't know if scum Nero votes me like he did. he might not have as much experience with me recently as i'm thinking, though.
i get a townfeel from his general abrasiveness even if i don't like most of his reads. maybe not the best measure. i should put more actual effort in.

i really don't think Kokichi is as big of a liability as you're all making him out to be. but i'm townreading both him and Titus and, and i know Titus can make a decision that won't suck.

I've kinda been concerned of buddying from Ran so idk
are you scum this game or just being incredibly bad?

the difference between town ran and scum ran is as clear as night and day. as scum he posts halfassed attempts going nowhere and has none of his characteristic bravado. you should kno this by now and onto the scumlist you go for terrible thoughts

I'm really curious what you see that makes you think he's D1 lynchbait. Can you go more into that? I think he's playing what he feels is a competent game, but I don't really see it as a town game. B-sides, I've also caught some votes afterwards, too, so I think I've gotten a little heat for my meat.

Yeah, if only someone like the mod made a post about it. I'd be more critical if Venmar had sent out a PM about this game-changing revelation (not common for ICs confirming, though) or, at least, updated the first post to reflect Brass' IC status. Still, dude, why were you making UNCHANGABLE VOTES before a full catchup?

I get you were going for a slayer's gambit, but did you get any worthwhile info from it? What do you feel about Joey's constant pushes at your crumbing? Also, why not just reveal IC earlier in a game where people can't take back their world congress votes? I'd say you're fine with how you played it, but, obviously, players can still vote differently and feign IC ignorance because they were 'catching up'.

marshy, how are you reading Nero now?

now that i think about our games together, i'm pretty sure my last game with Nero was on my Not Chara account, so i can't exactly count on scum Nero knowing my current meta.

should everyone who knows Ran have him conftown by now? i certainly don't know him, but the game hasn't been on for that long.

pedit: i assumed marshy had played with both Gamma and Ran together a few times. otherwise that does make no sense. :>

I think I found a scum in Dunkerdoodles. I'm not sure on Joey, really. But I did get a few town reads from it.

I was also toying very early with just revealing and saying "Make me host"

1. Well fuck me. I just realized I confused chara with gamma. Those comments were about Chara actually. Regarding gamma, he does seem a bit weird. I dont like a lot of his posts if im being honest, but my actualy vote is a much stronger scum read. He has posted a ton, but nothing has said town, and some of what he has posted rubs me the wrong way. (I know, im dumb. It happens after 3 years of not playing and hardly knowing the player base. But hey, gamma and chara sound alike a bit, screw me)

2. Because Im dumb and I like to catch up to games this way. I usually just skim the thread and start writing some random thoughts or fishy stuff. Ive only seen an innocent child once I think. Nver really thought we would have one of those in this one! Im sorry, like I said Im lame.

The Host gets an additional delegate for the day, and gets to choose a resolution from a list for the playerbase to vote on. The player with the second highest amount of votes for Host will choose a second resolution to vote for.
The Host receives an additional delegate (2 total delegates on Day 1) that they can assign to
support
or
oppose
World Congress resolutions like any other player. They also choose one of the two resolutions up for debate during an in-game Day's session of the World Congress. The runner-up only gets to choose a second resolution, and does not receive additional delegate(s). The World Congress functions almost exactly as it does in-game; as the game progresses, the Host will be given more additional delegates for
supporting
or
opposing
World Congress resolutions.
