why is mala so hard to lim here?

You have no credibility. Start there.

[Datisi]

uhhhh

if penguin is scum, i think i would be pretty surprised if s_s or andante are scum? s_s especially, he doesn't strike me as someone willing to try something this nutty. andante *maybe*, she's a bit of a wildcard in my mind, but still pretty unlikely i think. more pressing matters tho -- why.

and while competing wagons closed to deadline can be good, the fact that one is lead by the penguin is. uh. y'know. kinda concerning.

I was literally talking about mala maf before penguins vote, what are you talking about?

he's still the first vote. i don't care who was the first one to talk about it, his vote started the momentum for the other two.

and while competing wagons closed to deadline can be good, the fact that one is lead by the penguin is. uh. y'know. kinda concerning.

um - try and read up.

i'm read up. have you done anything yet?

[Datisi]

for the record, yes i do still scumread mala, no i am not willing to switch away from penguin at this moment in time.

also - i remember one mini normal game where penguin!town got yeeted day 1. i do not remember the number or who was the mod or anything. but. i will attempt to dig it up and see how that compares.

[Datisi]

okay i found it, it was this game: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=86100

i skimmed all of the posts from when penguin got the first vote that was on his eventual eod1 wagon (viewtopic.php?p=12662333#p12662333) up until the end of day 1 (viewtopic.php?p=12663363#p12663363)

and. uh. obviously sample size 1, there was just a holiday here, but if going strictly by this, kill the penguin with fire. in the above game, he had *some* reads while his wagon was going down (there was also a post of "i ain't telling you shit, piss off" - though it was as he was giving reads in other posts lol), and there was a lot more *emotion* about the fact he's being run up. here there's nothing.

Mala was at 3 when I voted hut. Ari had voted fire. I went from a 2 vote to create an equal counter wagon.

Anyway - I’ll be back in the morning to catch up on what I’ve missed.

Coming back to this with what I wanted to say since you didn't actually follow up: Why did you want to create an equal counter wagon instead of making a wagon on Mala (who you now think is scum I guess???) the lead wagon?

i like competing wagons for looking back on after a flip. seeing how they rise/fall, which one takes off, and how hard it is to get momentum on is good info.

e.g.

no competing wagons based on the last votecount

now there is small competing wagons

i've already said i don't have any strong reads - but i find how hard mala is to make a sufficient wagon on vs. me or hut is telling. look back on that d2+.

[PenguinPower]

i'm read up. have you done anything yet?

i understood what the gif meant, i was hoping to hear an elaboration on that >_>

uh....no. we've played together before, I'm not sure why you expecting that.

[Aristeia]

going to hammer in an hour if you have last words just post them

[Save The Dragons]

actually pengu is probably just scum here for describing his town meta honestly but not doing it

[Save The Dragons]

pengu also was like "i don't care if you tr me" in the guardians of the fortress game i just helped to bungle but he's got none of that energy here

So wouldn't it make sense for you to be voting hut here?

I know you say you don't have strong reads, but you were decidedly leaning scum on that slot before you switched to mala...

[VP Baltar]

I would like mala to come here and talk please.

[Datisi]

not to sound like an egomaniac or anything, but the fact that pengu was right here after i posted my mini meta case, and he didn't respond to it (at least to call me a moron for it) is making me feel things

mostly desire for penguin murder

[Aristeia]

I like it when you sound so confident Dats <3

[fireisredsir]

ok, I ISO'd fire. What i find concerning is that he is among the first people to point out Penguin acting awkwardly, but then never votes there. Like, he does everything in his power to vote elsewhere, especially saying hutmeil is scummy and therefore needs to be voted instead of penguin.

saying i did "everything in my power to vote elsewhere" is a weird way of framing that lol

altho tbh you're right i think i prob do look kinda bad if pengu flips scum here, remembering how i criticized gamma's unsupported swap onto there, but thats ok, i still hope he does

i can do a readlist if you really want but zzzz

[VP Baltar]

I'm curious if Penguin has thoughts on the pace of the game; I remember him generally being more involved/pushy and he's indicated a desire to have bigger wagons but he's not really making a sustained effort to fulfill that end.

mmm? if you recall, i like wagons for a specific reason that require fairly frequent votecounts. we're about to hit 1000 with 3....so i guess too fast?

What's your specific reason for liking the hutmeil wagon?

i don't have one. I like wagons.

Mala was at 3 when I voted hut. Ari had voted fire. I went from a 2 vote to create an equal counter wagon.

Ugh, I hate that these answers don't line up, but there is just enough wiggle room they can if you squint.

[VP Baltar]

I do want. It doesn't need to be a huge lift. You can just open a new post and tell me what you FEEL

Your post is giving me life as I internally spiral with anxiety that what started as a half assed push from me is hopefully on actual scum here.

[Aristeia]

since when do you feel anxiety

[Datisi]

bless

i'm also interested in fire's reads as i imagine i'll be rereading his slot during the night. other than that, i'm more than fine with the day ending. i'd love it if people like mala and hut made some more content before then, but i'm not holding out much hope for that.

[Aristeia]

are you ready for night dear?

[fireisredsir]

it's gonna be a lot of varying flavors of "meh i don't really know" for most of the slots but ok

[Save The Dragons]

would love to hear from mala

would love to see fire's readslist, their reluctance makes me think they could be scum tbh

[Datisi]

i've been ready for night for like 4 days now >_>

do let fire post his stuff though, i'd like that reading material.

[Andante]

are you ready for night dear?

I thought we just established in the other game, asking to hammer is something that comes from scum...

Ari is maf
