A breakdown of 226: commentary is inbold goldfuck sepia themeIn post 226, Laplacian wrote: Alright, time to actually make big posts with quotes instead of quickly typing on a phone in between games at a party.
This first sentence is telling. He's making a big thing out of this post while basically throwing away anything he's previously posted as trash. This feels very survivalistic, and it betrays that he's setting out to make this post be big and have quotes for the sake of being big and having quotes. Keep this in mind as you continue reading.

the thing is, your case is based on the assumption that he was serious. if you didn't think the posts were serious unless acted on (though i'm not entirely sure what you mean by "act on" so i could be misunderstanding something), why call them "legit sus" and make what would seem to be a serious vote based on that case?In post 111, Laplacian wrote:
Was typing that while those other posts appeared, read them, decided I still stood by it. I read the tone as 'oh, this is not serious (unless you wamt to act on it then it's 100% serious)'In post 110, Abnegation wrote:

idk, something doesn't add up here.jokey veneerforplausible deniability.Basically, if no one follows up or calls out the post, pretend it was entirely a joke and can be safely ignored. But if other people follow that lead and start voting on Kyouko, they can swap and treat it as 100% serious. Basically leave yourself an out via comedy. It's apretty classic technique, and I hopemy having to elaborateis because of my poor wording last night.
The red words are totally different from how Laplacian was posting before, and I feel like using them to seem more insightful than he is. He's embellishing. Then after he says it in that weird way he says "Basically"... and explains it. This feels like a tactic to make the post longer, like when you're looking to meet the word count on a paper and you start throwing in adjectives and shit?
Furthermore, the line of
feels ick to me. Kyouko's original post did not make "that smell thing" sound pleasant most of the time, andIn post 46, Pavowski wrote: Somebody vote Kyouko for that smell thing, that was weird, wasn't it?even the idea of voting someone based on an irl issue seemed really gross. While I don't think that was Pav's intent, especially with theoffer of defense,it was as if he was looking forany reason to push Kyouko and jumped on that as the most content-filled post.
The bold feels LAMIST
ssbm_Kyouko's s vote gave as much evidence against me as that shitpost gave in my defense, felt appropriate.In post 187, Pavowski wrote:In post 56, Laplacian wrote: I'm with Thom here

This is just a really wordy justification? See spoiler. Also, the evidence was there for those that wanted to look. I think anyone trying to find the reasoning could have found it but many people assumed it was an RVS vote because of the early stage.

Kinda don't really care to respond to every point of your whole scum case on me, it's too kooky for me to even bother with.
The gist of it is you're wrong, you never did give a good reasoning for voting Lap. That "hint" you quoted is incredibly unclear and I still have no idea what it means. Even 206 doesn't really give me a reason to think your vote there is more than an RVS vote.
All of the quotes you show of me not caring about the Lap wagon are easily explained by the fact that I simply do not care about that wagon. I have no read on Lap. I do have a scumread on HPE though and I think its jump on the wagon is scummy. But not because Lap is town, because 240 is a horrible and over-explainly post. And it also scumreads Lap for... rereading the game and having a different read on Pav? Which is scummy because...?
I think you are extremely tunneled on Lap and are just forcing perceived associations to fit your solve-

Orrrr, I was at a party last night so my posts were short and unembellished phone posts. You're looking at my usual writing style now. Also impressed that you have the gall to complain about rhetorical techinques whileto make your own commentary look important. This tunnel is so deep it's a borehole now.Using Bold Gold Text-

Anyone scumreading Lap for changing posting style is either mega tunneled or scum
Kyo is clearly mega tunneled and HPE is clearly scum, btw-

You mentioned earlier that we were early on in the day, but here you are acting like there is a sense of urgency that feels like a subtle contradiction.
Why are you trying to get other people to vote Kyouko for something that you find weird? Why not lead the charge yourself if you want to get the game moving?
Thomith don't you think maybe you're jumping the gun a bit? Pavowski's post seems a little, teensy tiny bit, blatantly, shitposty.

kyouko is town (maybe a little over-tunneled on Lap for this early in the game, but who among us),
Dragon may be town (see my earlier response to him),
cw is very likely town, which is a bummer cuz if they follow their current trend it'll get them yeeted
on a personal note I just really want Flavor to be town, if he's scum his pockets are getting crowded
and I slightly townlean the doll
and for reference, this is my first go-round with almost everybody in this list (save kyouko and Abnegation, but again, it's been a *while*) so I have no meta for anybody-

I was referring to Abnegation here, but I didn't have a lot then, and I don't want to misfade her if she's town.In post 163, Flavor Leaf wrote:

There's a certain possibility it's trying to defuse a scumread on a partner, I guess. I don't think it's +scum for Abnegation, but I do think if Abneg is scum she's more likely to be scum with HPE than random.In post 316, Thomith wrote: Why is this pinging you both?-

Only thing holding me back is I always scumread it early. HPE has a habit of doing something scummy early and then it's town after flip. Just like the smugglers game. Kyouko, taking your tunnel out of consideration, thoughts on HPE?-
