The Fifth Fortnight (Game Over!)

[xyzzy]

I don't care where you vote right now as long as you're offering a meaningful argument for why that's the right vote to cast. you have failed to offer any argument at all, and you've followed it up with completely misrepresenting my complaints.

I'm totally fine with you voting DGB or SirCakez or even me or anyone else as long as doing so contributes to the game. you have failed to do that.

we're not at the beginning of the game anymore. we're two days into a two week game with 10 pages so far. you need to play the game.

[BrightEyedFish]

You play your game and I'll play mine.
Fair enough?

[BrightEyedFish]

And this obvtown thing you are trying isn't working to well.

[Gorkington]

part of xy's game involves trying to parse people.
its harder to parse people when they vote without explaining themselves or at least inferring some kind of reasoning.
[granted i think there are other people to voice that complaint with right now too]

p-edit: nah xy's pretty town.

[BrightEyedFish]

Well, try examining my vote.

My vote is without reason or analysis. Now look at Goof ball's ISO and search for anything meaningful that could be analysed.

Exactly.
Thus, my vote.

[Gorkington]

couldnt someone make the same argument for why you would be scum? what makes dgb special?

[kuribo]

WRT Cakez, I feel like the pace of the game threw him off. I think he expected the usual large-game bullshitting around for twenty pages, and was taken aback when he felt like people were calling him out for not scumhunting.

His anger toward bowing out feels genuine to me. I do somewhat lean toward it being town-indicative because frankly, it's not the presumptive HOW DARE YOU of caught scum, but more the "oh fuck this" exasperation.

I just don't think Cakez is scum in this exchange.

[kuribo]

BrightEyedFish, you haven't actually given any explanation of why you find DGB scummy. could you provide that? right now it feels

super

arbitrary.

Well it is arbitrary. What's wrong with that?

we're on page 10, and you could have some real reads for which you offer specific evidence.

Don't hate on my vote. Join me in getting information out of Goofball.

Please please please tell me you're voting DGB to try and "apply pressure" on her.

I would literally sell my soul to be able to watch how that plays out.

Just let me know so I can grab some popcorn first.

[kuribo]

Hey by the way, when you openly state you're only voting someone to get information out of them, you immediately remove any and all leverage you have over them.

They have to know you're willing to lynch them and not let up. Wagoning someone for info, and telling them that, is so beyond useless that it may as well be a third nipple.

[Katsuki]

And that all adds up to my top scum read of Mr. Ball of Goof that is dripping.

Why are you saying "adds up to" when you only pointed out one thing about our glorious lady of Goof?

How is this question relevant to sorting Bright's alignment?

What's wrong with his question?

[Gorkington]

it's not the presumptive HOW DARE YOU of caught scum, but more the "oh fuck this" exasperation.

can i get more words on this?
i feel like the exact opposite would be more likely in the case of cake
where a really convincingly angry reaction would make sense from townhim being pushed in a way he sees as unfair,
rather than a "this is bs these reasons for scumreading me are the wrong reasons people should be scumreading me this is all so unfair" reaction which just feels like scum squirming to me?

[Katsuki]

Keely wait for me imma destroy you once I get in front of a comp.

[Gorkington]

your sugary cupcake threats unphase me, sorry.

I'm just trying to figure out if it comes from town actually trying to sort Bright, or scum trying to seem like town by pointing out an inconsistency in Bright's language. When someone posts as little as Cogito has, it makes me wonder why he's focusing on this over everything else.

Okay, granted I don't know Cakez as well as I know some other players, and I might even be rusty considering I haven't finished a game on this site in almost eighteen months. But my playstyle is very emotional, and more than that its reading the emotional responses of the other players. I do feel like walking away to calm things down isnt necessarily beneficial to scum in this setup. It's just his tone, I guess, more than anything. I feel like he was starting to take the push personally, and rather than defending himself decided he needed a breather.

Can that come from scum? Sure. God knows we've seen it before. My gut feeling says it's not, though.

[Errantparabola]

I've seen AtE from town mirroring cakez's play here, i wouldn't take that into account when sorting him.

if you're gonna vote someone this far into the game without offering a real explanation, you're doing it wrong.

VOTE: kuribo

[kuribo]

***rethinking***

Hey come back I only signed up for this to make it up to you for ragequitting Destiny Mafia III

[Katsuki]

stop doubleposting and spamming the game?

xd

VOTE: kuribo

kuribo feels townish imo

[Katsuki]

I'm quite annoyed that I can't recall what exactly cake meta is as he used to have one of the easiest playstyles to read at a glance. Oh well this game is too slow and I'm dying of boredom waiting for something to happen.

VOTE CAKEZ

[Marquis]

Shit sorry I forgot I was in this. About to sleep but will likely be posting Toronto

[SirCakez]

I gotta say I've been enjoying just reading this game more then playing in it haha
I'll jump back in tomorrow morning.

[Marquis]

I'm pleased but also bothered somehow that this is only 11 pages long

[Spiffeh]

hey guys I think SirCakez is a decent vote rn but I don't want the game to stall but I also don't want to ruin what I think is a good wagon and don't really have any alternative what do I do?

[Marquis]

UNVOTE:
