Let's work from the bottom of the draft up by the way.

VOTE: clemency

This is a "good" plan

Man, you guys are so focused on picking numbers, I just closed my eyes and hit a button on my number pad. Confirmed second most effective method to pick a number.

Everyone is all like "Think for optimization" and I'm just like "Thinking sucks!"

Well, you know what they say when you assume... You definitely aren't thinking.

If I recall correctly, this set up always has lots of set up talk early by mostly town.

I just picked a random number O.O
Was I not supposed to? Oof

Proven that thinking is bad and stupid

Other than read lists which I despise, by the way, I like Farkset's thinking.

VOTE: Dr Drew

They make a good case here.

If I think theres a high chance of scum in [2], and I'm town, and theres 2 other people that picked [2]. I should vote one of them

Can you share how you eliminated the other person for consideration?

It depends on who you ask. For now I'll leave it at that until I get an answer.

I'm just straight up dead, IRL. Hardclaim corpse.

Good god, I always forget these big lists get me confused.

Who's being replaced?

brassherald · Post Post #474 (isolation #12) » Mon May 18, 2020 5:32 am

I think CSF is being replaced. Do you want a response from him, or from the slot itself?

In post 480, skitter30 wrote:brass there's like 20 pages of content and i dont' think you've produced like any of it

I agree I have not.

I'm trying to get reoriented to the player list to see who is getting replaced, but the mod's latest message was not helpful.

There's other more personal reasons for me missing out on lots of content but what happens between me and my girlfriend over the weekend is not for mafiascum... It isn't breaking up.

I have things to say but everything is so rapid fire the past two pages I've seen the other posts come up in previews and it just seems like people have moved on.

I did want to ask Dr Pepper if he's trying to say that Farsket is chainsawing him, though, because I'm a bit confused by that last post.

the tacks that you're taking just feel very weird and coming at things from strange angles

and i can't track what you're thinking and why here

like dats at least most of their posting is stemming from 'i'm bored and i'm just hanging out in thread waiting for things to happen and i'll just push random things to see if it makes something happened'

i can't figure out how you're approaching this game
I suggest you metadive some of my games. All my completed games are listed in my wiki page. This is how i play, and you will notice i am a vote magnet especially during d1's. The same holds true in the one game we played together, but you were scum so it might have not stuck in your memory.

My approach to towngames, unless they are landslidically easy, is to spark interactions between people - sometimes with reaction tests, sometimes with gotcha moments. It usually brings good results. Advancing the gamestate is my main concern, i usually fight people who don't do that.

We had similar reads earlier about dunn and doncorleone, i can't get myself to realize why you would townread alduskel or scumread us or CSF. If you want further engagement, i can deliver any time.

Wait, I got the impression you were scum reading CSF?

Is this for a specific person, or just overall?

When, instead of responding to your arguments/case, they are attacking stuff that you have done.

Brass is nulltown, i think he has correctly picked up on things early - would like more content from him though.
i'm pretty sure i refuted your aldu case
can you point to where you think brass has correctly picked up on things early?

I would also like to know that first part because I mostly just shit post these days.

Not particularly, no. Where did you get the impression?

Just the constant asking of what he thinks about votes on him. That seems to me to be something one would generally more do for a scum lean than a townie.

I still don't get the empty part though, if you read the posts i mentioned, Cat Fever seems to scumhunt exactly as you. Even though he has less content, i don't think you would call his slot empty?

I dunno. What's your read on alduskkel?

That change of topics, though.

Yeah, you refuted my case. I disagree with you though, as well as some of your other recent reads except probably Melody.

I still want more opinions on aldus.

Brass reference coming next post

I don't like Aldus' last post for actual content reasons. The whole thing of "ask me a question and wait for me to respond before unvoting me" seems manufactured and not townie.

Also, he has some walls which I hate for non content related reasons. Basically, I dislike walls.

That's it for me at this time, I'll see if I can spare another period of time after hearings today.

VOTE: Aldus

Bad catch up is bad.

Well I have a crazy week until Friday with about 40 of my 100 monthly hearings being left. So probably semi VLA. Also got tested for the covid yesterday not because I'm sick but a person I know is working on the antibody tests. Not game related but I wanted everyone to know I do have a brain it's been a long standing question
