Do we think roles are at all related to civs, and if not is there any harm in claiming our civs? Like, how in hell is Brazil an innocent child?
I don't think anyone should respond for this, because it sounds awfully rolefishy. You realize that most anyone who says "Well yes, I think roles -are- related to civs" implicitly gives away that their role is related to their civ, yes? That means that A: They have some kind of PR and therefore know or B: They are a VT and their civ is for some reason just implicitly VT. It's a bad idea, it gives scum information.

I would be against everyone claiming their Civs.

In fact I think the one person who -could- respond without issue is Brass, who is already outed. So brass did a good.

I literally forgot she was.

Nero, from the normal that is still being discussed, do you remember if Jodaxq lurked around during the shitshow that was day 1?
As I said I've been without internet. Like literally no access to a computer with internet. I didn't even log into the site yesterday. I have an appointment with a technician tomorrow and will hopefully be back up and running then.

i guess i don't understand the distinction between two players you don't have a read on but are PoE, and two players you don't have a read on but are not PoE.
that said i guess i don't have a problem with it considering how you've answered.

she's responded to someone mentioning her within the hour twice now. it would be very hard to be responding to posts of any kind if one was not reading the thread in some capacity.

I'm saying there are scummier players than Dan and Dunk and thus I am POE town reading them. I am also saying that the Assembler slot and the Joda slot have not been here to contribute and thus I don't have a read on them.

About the Kiana replace-in, it annoys me that someone who decides to replace-in after a lurker think its okay to just become V/LA for 3 days. I dont want to be a douche and im not saying that i don't believe Kiana, i just think this should be frowned upon

I've been skimming through this morning before work so I'm sure I've missed stuff. I saw a lot of debate about which resolutions Brass and Titus should pick and I know which options were available. I know the two resolutions we're voting on

Nero: it did click how posting without being scummy to you is better than not posting at all. thanks.
i do think Dunker is scummy, especially with the lack of Creature meta knowledge. his reads in general are also all very backwards to mine.

Joey: i don't think it's awful. one can't really plan their V/LAs. if Kiana's town i'm excited to see what she'll do once caught up.

pedit: thanks. :>

Yeah really my question should have been "well brass how does that make sense"

Part of me thinks that a Dunker scum would be smart enough to know not to question the scum read on a universally scum read buddy. Also, I'd have to believe that Bujaber is scum and thats a brave new world that I might not want to live in.

In post 1520, Shaziro wrote:Do you disagree with my interpretation of the wording, Elbirn?

[Ban Luxury ~ Silk] - Silk often appears in inappropriate and undesirable situations, and is associated with some of the worst kinds of people around the world. Assign delegates supporting or opposing a temporary Ban on Silk. This resolution may not be enacted consecutively.


@Shaz, reading the above: no idea how you get anything role indicative out of the above. Frankly I imagine that every luxury ban proposal is written out to make the luxury in question sound morally reprehensible and awful because that's why you would ban something. Silk is bad because something about murdering silk worms and destroying the environment, crabs are endangered, gold requires exploiting poorer nations. It's flavor.

Assuming that it's something to do with prostitutes, a role I've never even seen, is kind of stretching it.
