@Holden

This thread feels dead and that is bothering me. That makes me a bit wary on my read on kaniffee. Scum does not seem motivated to move the game state away from her lynch, nor dismantling it. Nobody has really come forward and posted anything defending her to a significant degree.

<Stuff removed for space>

To the people not voting, I want to hear your opinions on today's lynch and who you want. I rather have more days to discuss then us scrambling to lynch somebody.

Let's see. I agree with 1490, I don't see it either and want an example. I'm suspicious of Kaniffee, but the game state doesn't seem to be going either way, like you said. So I'm a bit hesitant. Still, I like everyone on the wagon so far, but that's not saying much, there's just 2 of you.

As for my lynches, I'm leaning towards Kanifee as well, but RCE hasn't posted for a while and pretty much didn't say anything today. So I'm still unsure on this slot. I'm reconsidering Teacher, seems more towny now. And Wagon is more null to me. I could possibly vote them but I'm not really feeling that as much. Anyone else is pretty much a strong town from me.


@Kaniffee

Okay then, I really need you to explain your Wagonomics reads. Because you've seen him as strong town all game, and I don't see it as much. Please prove your reads aren't manufactured.

Also, regarding Iconeum, could you explain more about why you were scumreading him in your last vote on him?

[Wagonomics]

But look who’s being inactive/basically no game relevant posts - wagon, RC: the SEs who should be setting an example.

Are you scum teacher? lol

I have two solid townreads and am thinking about my PoE. I think that forming a consensus townblock is way stronger than declaring a crusade or whatever it is you think SEs should be doing in a newbie game.

Also, basically all of my posts are game relevant...? And I don't exactly see RC as shitposting so wtf are you saying here?

[teacher]

Hell, even you suspect kan but haven't joined the wagon (though you have been around to voice your view which I appreciate).

Actually I’m coming around to him be in town and in any event have a bigger suspect I’ve been sitting on til they get active for a bit. Also, after reading that one, I need a shower.

@Mod, A) are we allowed to do unofficial VCs this weekend due to V/LA? B) Can we still talk after a lynch has been reached if it occurs during that time?

[HoldenGolden]

Nice to know I can just post a cringle fanfic whenever I want people to post holly molly that worked way too well.

[teacher]

I’ll answer as a mod but not the mod of this game:
Nothing prevents you from posting a vc at any time (I think I did one already this game iirc) and you may always talk unless the thread is locked or you died/replaced.

@Mod, A) are we allowed to do unofficial VCs this weekend due to V/LA? B) Can we still talk after a lynch has been reached if it occurs during that time?

A) Yes, of course.
B) Yes, I have no limitations on talking during twilight (the time between a hammer vote being placed and the mod locking the thread).

[teacher]

@1503: I don’t find most of your posts today particularly game advancing and I’ve been waiting for RCs pro/con on our two slots for a couple days.

[HoldenGolden]

@NaCl
That's fair I suppose. I think spangled cleared up some of my suspicions on the cyrus slot, so I'm not super worried about him being on the wagon with me. I can understand a RC lynch as well.

A little bit off topic, but I have a read I'm a bit wary of if i may ask you for your opinion. What do you make of emps slowdown of posts? It worries me a bit, but I still find his day one play townie

[teacher]

Do you mind if I butt in in that question?

[HoldenGolden]

I don't care, knock yourself out.

[teacher]

I think activity levels both early and later were consistent site wide - perhaps the vacation got more active. You can judge yourself but that’s my two cents.

I still think he's town. I might be mistaken, but I'm pretty sure he said something about trying to post less partway through day 1? But I don't quite remember and he has a few too many posts for me to be bothered searching through it for something like this.

[Wagonomics]

@1503: I don’t find most of your posts today particularly game advancing and I’ve been waiting for RCs pro/con on our two slots for a couple days.

Yeah RC needs to post more, that's fair, but "I have two townreads and am thinking" is not fluffposting.

It can be just as productive to give my townreads some room to work as it is to come in all tryhard

[HoldenGolden]

Hmm, yeah, I think I was just being paranoid about it with him.

[teacher]

You’re pointing to a post you made AFTER I said you were absent as contradicting my point

[Wagonomics]

VOTE: teacher

[Wagonomics]

1451 is an explicit statement of two townreads and you think I have no game advancing content and then accuse me of only saying I have townreads this page, which tells me you are putting 0 thought into actually understanding my posts but are trying to characterize my posting as light anyway

[teacher]

When I mobile iso slimmed I only saw one in there. Fair enough.

[Spangled]

Honestly, it's really freaking annoying. I felt I had a good town list to PoE from day 1, but now it's like I'm begining a new game.

Maybe we should start RVS all over again.

[Spangled]

Woah, Wagonlad.
I'm really not sure that's enough to call teacher scum, especially since I think he's been fairly towny the whole game.
That's out of the blue.

[Kaniffee]

@Kaniffee

Okay then, I really need you to explain your Wagonomics reads. Because you've seen him as strong town all game, and I don't see it as much. Please prove your reads aren't manufactured.

Also, regarding Iconeum, could you explain more about why you were scumreading him in your last vote on him?

I just reread through Wagon's ISO and basically he just seems town without trying too hard. He just seems self-assured in his townness and it comes through in his posts. He doesn't feel the need to aggressively prove it either. I wouldn't say he's "strong town" because he isn't a very pushy town, I'm just confident in the townie vibes I get from him.

Jackal's original lack of posting and sheepy vote is what started it. With Iconeum as the replacement I didn't find its arguments against Wagon very reasonable, and I found it sus the way it pushed on Wagon out of nowhere, especially since I didn't find anything all that sus about Wagon. Its interactions with Cyrus did seem pretty genuine and made me question my sus a bit, but then Iconeum hardly posted anything after so I was left with nothing else to sort it at the end of the day, so I went with my initial judgement that Iconeum was a scumlean.

[Spangled]

Okay, ISOing Wagonlad

Spoiler:

Nothing useful for a long time.
I like 265, but we have to remember that scum can ask questions too.
Thoughts in 456 are good; towny. And so in 457.
I also like 753 and 754, but one of them's about cyrus (*me*) and the other aligns with my reads, so...
Not sure if 755 is a joke or not.
Liking all of 757 to 761, but only all of them cumulative, because ultimately anyone can do reactions like 'weird joke'; 'disagree'. Still, enough good thoughts there I think.
Believe it or not I only like 994 a little bit, and I'm still kind of teetering on the edge.
I don't really like his cavalier attitude towards Ico's lynch, and his

relatively

poor reasoning for it. Not terrible or scummy, just not all that good.
I do like 1113 though.
I like how he rethinks Ico as a lynch in 1193; it feels genuine to me.
I feel like something about 1255 doesn't really gel with what they've said about Red earlier... but then it was about 900-800 posts ago, I think; I can't be bothered check.

TL;DR: Wagon is now a townlean for me personally.
Also, @Wagonlad, check 1152 for cyrus' final bet, I think.
