Hey amazons, you around?

[morph the cat]

I know ydra's sick and that it's much easier to read passively than to try to do stuff when sick.

But, I gotta point out that there have been some recent beetlejuice posts from her.

[GuiltyLion]

[Ydrasse]

A: The wagon is on scum and the buddies are hoping for a reprieve out of apathy.

this is the theory I'm going with as imaginality has dialed back his presence/effort as well

[implosion]

i for one would be interested in the advent of a hammer.

So what you're telling me is I can make ceph's day, annoy redtea, AND summon the cute twinky femcatboy mod all at once~?

Hey amazons, you around?

Taking this as a "no" and my burning desire to talk shop with them does not this game stagnating worth deserve.

Oh for flip's sake

[numberQ]

I like your avatar. What is it?

From a game called An Untitled Story. It's by the creator of Celeste, TowerFall, Jumper, etc and it's really good (and free)! http://www.mattmakesgames.com/ (you have to scroll down to see it)

I am hesitantly hopeful that we just had a scum "nope" out of the thread?

Nope

Oh there was a hammer. I looked away for a bit after responding to fua there lol. Uhh I'll try to catch up before day end and post thoughts as I go I guess.

[Shirou]

That wasn't a hammer stop fake hammers attempts it's just silly...

(you need to type the player name correctly in the vote for it to count, I'm pretty sure).

More often than not scum know it's a fake hammer so they pretend to be flipped town to get town credit, and some people fall to the bait.

I think it even happened in one of the TM 2021 games as well although I'm not 100% sure.

Either way, rather than fake hammers could someone

actually

hammer imaginality already? We've less than 72 hours anyway.

[Shirou]

Hm

by the way something came up IRL to me. It may or not affect my activity here, I'm not sure yet. Either way, don't be surprised if I suddenly drop out although I'll try not to.

Just warning I guess.

(you need to type the player name correctly in the vote for it to count, I'm pretty sure).

Incorrect.

[morph the cat]

Votes must not be spoilered and should be in the format of VOTE: Player or Vote: Player, or they will not be counted. Abbreviating someone's name is acceptable, so long as I can discern who you were voting for without trouble. If I think it should count as a vote, it will.

Nowhere did I say or imply I did an ISO, the posts I referenced came from Meg's own quoting. But like... okay? Not sure what this has to do with what I'm saying. Literally all I'm asking is why you used Shirou's self-aware joke as a reason to vote him (even if you later explain it in more detail), and then later used your own self-aware joke as a defense. I completely fail to see how this is in any way "weird". I didn't say it was scummy, I'm not grilling you or anything, it's not this huge thing I'm trying to nail you with. It is literally JUST an observation I thought was interesting and wanted to follow up on to see if anything else interesting would come out of it. Like jesus people, idk what's up with this game and having words/intent put in my mouth

I think my issue with this is that like, you just basically took Meg's word for it instead of going back and checking for any context yourself, it kinda vibes to me like a lazy +1 on somebody else's push rather than something that is likely to help you personally sort fua. posting "observations" is an easy way for scum to put little floaty trial feelers out for who they can plausibly push or get a temperature check on the town, without putting themselves out there too far. if you're town here it'd help me if you made your intentions with this kinda stuff more clear, and if your intention is just "following up on an interesting observation" you should expect some pushback if others think the observation NAI, lazy, ill-thought out, etc

I mean, Meg quoted fua. They were literally fua's words. I didn't "take Meg's word for it". Plus, what context??? You quoted 167 before but that in no way invalidates anything I've said. Maybe I could have been more thoughtful and looked at more context before I commented. But A) I didn't see a reason to at the time because the quoted posts seemed pretty self explanatory, and B) I'm not seeing any evidence it would have changed my thoughts anyway.

Nowhere did I say or imply I did an ISO, the posts I referenced came from Meg's own quoting.

also this isn't really true, you went back and found the Shirou post immediately preceding fua's vote and claimed that the post was the reason for fua's vote

while it's true fua voted after that post, there were a few posts preceding where they had a conversation and fua pointed out other oddities in Shirou's previous posts

so clearly you did go back to reference additional posts, but either you looked at the rest of the context and completely ignored it or you didn't look at any of the other context, and both are kinda ??? to me

That was me clicking on the quote from Meg, then scrolling up a single post. And again, just because fua did have other things to say about Shirou, does not change the fact that one of the things he said was something he himself did later. That is the part I found interesting.

[numberQ]

It would be extremely easy in this environment to justify a hammer here, so that tells me one of these, in order of likely hood, is true...:

A: The wagon is on scum and the buddies are hoping for a reprieve out of apathy.
B: Wagon is on town. Scum are already all on the wagon and afraid to actively cheerlead for day's end
C: Wagon is on town. Scum are partially on the wagon and the holdouts have actively town read the wagonee and therefore cannot justify hopping on or cheerleading.

If it's A do you think it's all town on the wagon then? Unvoting would kill the momentum (or it would have pre-hammer)
