You say that, but this whole time people have been sat there saying that they wanted to make sure that whatever we chose to put forward wasn't something pro-scum.

Because it's kinda like...Yeah, sure. Bit obvious.

If I was scum, it would literally kill you, because I'd have to do that to achieve wincon.In post 1248, Elbirn wrote:It's snowing so bad that I'm off of work today, rejoice!
@Varsoon, I don't even remember the trust tell from way back when. Was it that you always truthfully claimed your alignment? I don't think you'd do that anymore considering you got shit for it + that's super not cool bro.
Yeah I really dunno how to read you. Like, ur my brodawg. I'd protecc you with my life if I think you're town. And I don't think we've been town together yet so I'm hoping you are, and I worry that might be causing bias on my part. Like if you're scum that would kill me, yaknow?

Do you think we should science boost brass?
It took me awhile but I definitely see him playing from a town PoV, but it's so drastically different in approach and ethos from my own that I don't like it at all.In post 1412, Chara wrote:everything Kokichi is doing just feels so natural to me. his timing and his consistent pressing on everything and thewhyof those pushes and assertions all seem to be very clear, and i'm not really seeing any obvious attempts to curry favour. and the little roleplaying that's there is all game-related.
it's mildly notable he isn't doing the Kokichi thing very much, but i don't know if it means anything considering how much roleplay is connected to thread environment and not alignment.

I...Sort of get what you're saying I think? Like it's quite obvious that there's not going to be a resolution that says "Hey, this is the resolution that helps scum! Press the accept button to help Scum!" But there are certainly going to be resolutions that help one side or the other or possibly both or neither and I don't think it's fruitless to try to determine which is which, and even having a discussion about such things can provide insight into where everyone's allegiances lie, I'd think.In post 1405, Shaziro wrote:You say that, but this whole time people have been sat there saying that they wanted to make sure that whatever we chose to put forward wasn't something pro-scum.

Whoa, wait, stop. I thought science was only for one person?In post 1403, brassherald wrote:World Congress host gets an extra delegate the host and the runner up are provided with choices for resolutions to suggest. The two of them each rank three choices privately.
Today's list had the options of Ban Silk for the day, Ban Gold for the day, Ban Crabs for the Day, Embargo all city states permanently, Embargo a player until tomorrow, Send peacekeeping forces to a civilization (I believe this is jailkeeping and you cannot use delegates to vote for yourself), Protect Natural wonders permanently, protect world wonders permanently, boost art for everyone today, boost science for everyone today.
I chose to put forward, in order, ban silk, boost art, and ban crabs.
Any permanent change will have the opportunity to repeal later if the people decide it is no good.
Of course!In post 1418, Chara wrote:I wonder if you consider me a friend, Kokichi.
