these don't sound too bad tbh

@Pooki, Can you please explain your thought process here?

the jokey nonresponse feels like scum trying to play it cool

like a "hello officer I swear I was not driving 150 mph and that is definitely not whiskey you smell on my breath"

[Crescent]

There's one thing Meg has done that still bothers me, personally, but it's good to see some people actually giving some reasons for their votes.

Post #224 is what kicked off the Andante train, which was a bad train for basically no reason. Meg overplays how much pressure Fred is actually under, and underplays that most of the people involved actually had reasons. If more people in that line had placed votes, the logic wouldn't feel so forced.

Speaking of feeling "forced", that Lowell vote on Prince. Votes Fred, disappears for 27 hours, and as soon as Prince unvotes Fred, he immediately pops back on to jump on Prince. Like, Fire is right that it kinda does read like a joke, even though it doesn't feel like one.

Gera isn't a newbie and feels decidedly Gera so far. I should probably do a comparative ISO on him eventually because Clidd was right when he did it in late day 1 in 2273. He vibed more with the scumgame examples than the towngame examples.

[Crescent]

Then again... I'm not used to playing games where you actually have to reach a majority to vote someone off. Actually seeing a hammer with 17 players in the game was very unlikely. Usually whoever's voted off day 1 wouldn't end any higher than like, 6 votes, unless they did something awful. It's possible I may need to revisit my general stance towards voting in large games in this community where the necessary vote count is so high.

Is this true? Explains a lot about your play style which rubs me up so much. Always with comments and thoughts but never backing it up with any actual action.

Oh and speaking of Gera.. What would even the point of lying about this? Enough people know where I came from, and almost no game there ever requires a majority. I specifically had no vote down on days 2 and 3 of that game for the purposes of course correction if necessary. People are often votehappy and early hammers are a thing. People on day 2 in that game randomly decided to form a mini wagon on someone very late in the day when we had 99% likely scum sitting there. My vote was on said scum with a "no thank you" less than a minute later. They did the same thing on day 3 with suddenly wagoning the wrong option late and I shut that down too.

But that ultimately doesn't really work as a playstyle when we actually need a full 9 votes to kill someone. Sudden late counterwagons to a guy on 6-7 aren't really going to be much of a thing in this format.

[Crescent]

...Which ultimately leads me to wonder how to go about using my vote because I haven't been the kind of player who casually throws it around in years. I find I generally don't need it to provide pressure and make people answer questions... But the difference between 17 and 13 is significant when you need majority.

(For the record, I only placed 3 votes in 5 days in my last scumgame, so being a low voter is totally NAI for me. It would've been 4, but town was stupid and early hammered on day 2.)

...Ok enough spamming self-meta

Meg response to everything has not been helping. He is def overly trying to play it cool.
i would go opposite way and its like he walks up to officer and says Of course i was speeding

Bugspray (NM mk. 2)

[Greeting]

There are a lot of coasters in this game.

Prince of Paterson

,

Dwlee99

,

bugspray

,

UNOwen

all come to mind. And while going after one of them as a policy is tempting, I actually do think there's a decent chance of scum

MegAzumarill

. It's also an easy scumhunting stance to fake.

My vote will stay where it is until someone makes a more convincing case on someone else.

geraintm

On an unrelated game note, I've been cleared to return back to work effective Monday.

lol what

i love playing scum

my scum games are works of fucking art

[geraintm]

For the love of all that is holy I can we not no-elim on day 1

Yes!
Let's do this!
Brewster's Millions style!

[geraintm]

VOTE: Prince

Prince ducked conveniently away from fred wagon to save his buddy. I will oblige and vote him instead.

Do u really think this? this post reads like a joke

Yep, naughty points for Lowell. No one was at all close.to get voted off, no one needed saving

Thr is this true was more a way if expressing surprise than doubting your honesty.

I am.sure you are always hinest in this game, right?

I wonder why people.are.oicking me as scum.day 1s nowadays? But to call me newb scum is weird. And to say I am thr scummiest person in the game? Is anyone actually voting me to back up that claim? I wish people would so I remember who was trying to get me eliminated later

I will not kill you today cause you called geraintm newb scum. You have like 50% chance to be right on either of the two.
Crescent comparing Bugspray (top name tbh) to not_mafia again is also a good reason to rocket up my townlist.

Andante has permission to post some lighthearted looking stuff again but should expect breath down the neck during D2 and plan accordingly. More details in the scum PT.
Who we mislaunching today, peeps?

[Vivax]

I'm not mafia, for legal reasons.

So the tales that quality posters still exist were true gosh

Vivax

, could you please summarise for me why you think

UNOwen

is scum?

It’s in my ISO, and I’m not sold that he’s scum. But I see that there’s resistance to treat him like any other player in the game and that bugs me. I’m known to preferentially attack so called primadonnas.

sorry yes you are correct. i t slipped my mind that the person who made the grouping of 4 scumand the person ranking them were not the same person.
