no one wants to eliminate geranium

I do...

[DrippingGoofball]

VOTE: geraintm

That's the two of us now. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Flavor Leaf]

What about Dkk?

[Flavor Leaf]

I haven’t interacted with Gera since replacing in, so I don’t have an opinion on that push atm

[DrippingGoofball]

What about Dkk?

I have a solid town read on Dkk.

[Glitch]

The previous votecount doesn't look right to me - unless I am missing something andres was voting infinity

I counted this vote but I flubbed another part of the VC to make it look weird. My apologies. VC 1.08 is now updated to reflect the accurate votes at the time it was originally posted.

Hi I kinda ghosted for a full 24 hours did anything major happen

Not particularly. Looking forward to your takes though!

[DrippingGoofball]

The scum doesn't want to bus geranium.

[Flavor Leaf]

The scum doesn't want to bus geranium.

Says you.

VOTE: Gera

Help me bus this, and let’s move on to day 2.

[Marky Mark]

I don't know which one to vote for. Zdenek is being replaced, no one wants to eliminate geranium, NDmath's replacement is OK, and there's you.

This is a good spot - I hadn't realized that Zedenek's ultimatum had run out. Hopefully we will get something out of their replacement prior to the end of the day as otherwise that slot is kinda in limbo

[Marky Mark]

The scum doesn't want to bus geranium.

Which slots are you referring to here? Taylor has been reasonably vocal about not being in favour of a geraint elim, and I guess N_M has townread him too fwiw but I can't think of anyone else who has been against a geraint elim

[Gamma Emerald]

I'm willing to vote 4 geraint, I would just like to be more current first

[Marky Mark]

Just dragging the light back on DGB for a sec:

Also I called not_mafia my soul mason after ONE POST how is that meta you fools

I am slightly confused now - claiming you were reading N_M as town due to being soul_masons implied meta reasons to me, but I accept that it is an ambiguous term.

Let's really try to nail this down - when you posted your readslist, why did you have N_M and Geraint as Town/Scum respectively, when functionally the two slots have acted very similarly?

@DGB - please can you clarify this? Especially relevant now that you are pushing Geraint.

[DkKoba]

when was the last time geraint said anything

[Gamma Emerald]

he hasn't talked for about as long as I was away

[Marky Mark]

More generally, I am concerned about the general gamestate of having 4 lurker and/or low-info slots atm (N_M, Geraint, DGB, Zedenek). This is all conjecture so take it with a pinch of salt but I could definitely see 1 or even 2 scum coasting in that bracket, which makes me a bit twitchy about pushing for an elim on an active player at this point unless they are scumtelling hard. Eg if for sake of argument there were 2 scum coasting in that lurker pool and a scumteam of 3 then we have effectively 1 in 9 chance of landing scum if we go after an active player (ie 13 players - 4 lurkers).

Zedenek is being replaced so that is out of our hands. I'd like to see DGB be a bit more proactive and also explain the disparity of her reads on geraint and N_M. I would lean more towards a N_M elim than a geraint one right now tbqh as I have more confidence in Gamma on the N_M wagon than I do with DGB on the geraint wagon (FL and VP I'm fairly meh about rn).

I'm going to keep my vote on DGB - the slot is coasting and has some inconsistencies to explain, but I am on board with a n_m elim.

--Sidenote - I am scumreading koba but I think the slot has been so active that as the game progresses her alignment will become even clearer through the interactions they've had. They have objectively discredited people and acted inconsistenly, but it is now a case of working out if this comes from a place of scum (reasonably likely IMO) or misguided town

[DkKoba]

how is dgb inactive. I actually can remember things dgb said.

[Gamma Emerald]

my vote on NM is literally just a votepark tho??? Like you should probably check the reasoning for the vote over if you trust who is voting. Or, even better, use both at once.

[DkKoba]

i think u dont know what actual scumtells are @mark.

or ur purposefully avoiding reading previous games so u can keep pretending it is a scumtell for me

if u think im gonna sit here and let dumb theories be peddled ill be damned.

Imma be real with u that my townread on u has weakened significantly. And with ur scummy choice to vote sit on a slot that u are misrepping, i cant keep that to myself anymore.

[DkKoba]

wait mark is uborinically trying to push nm lmao.

ok theyre actually openscumming now VOTE: mark

[Marky Mark]

I'd be keen to hear from DK and/or Taylor why they felt a vote on N_M was bad in the circumstances. Taylor has also spoken out against a geraint vote, so she is at least consistent in her attitude towards low activity/engagement players, but would love to know why DK felt that voting Geraint was ok, but Gamma voting N_M wasn't.

DK would you mind clarifying this? We never quite got to the bottom of it yesterday.

Ref DGB's activity, have a look at her ISO. Outside of the wall post, it's all one-liners which tend to either be off-topic, narrative or "I think player X is alignment Y". There's no real signs of scrutiny or deeper engagement. Perhaps inactive is not the best way to phrase it - coasting might be better. She's basically done enough to look like she's making some sort of effort (ie the wall post) but has done no more than the minimum.

[DkKoba]

nah its too late lol u slipped

[DkKoba]

we'll be seeing em
