origin of symmetry is my favorite album ever
Holy shit best friend spotted
(Black Holes still clears tho)
i have recently concluded that black holes and revelations is their 2nd best album i used to think it was absolution for a very long while but i did a relisten and i thought that it was kind of boring. bhar is much more fun and Interesting in what it does
Several Muse albums come close for me but BHAR will probably always be my fav because Knights of Cydonia is what got me into them + it's a 6-min song that somehow doesn't feel that way at all
(If this makes you think I'm a cultured music guy please don't, this is the only "real" band I follow lmao)

i sadly do not think of muse as Culture these days (or ever really lol) because their last few albums were mediocre to really bad but the first four. magical. effervescent. ahead of their time. etc etc
This is a perspective I understand but can’t really subscribe to, I find a lot of their efforts to “branch out” from the 2000s stuff interesting even when they don’t work. The Resistance/2nd Law are probably up their for the title of most overhated album ever, and Sim Theory is up there for me as well. Even when they miss (especially with their newest album, where my opinion is quite low) I still feel like they always put out two or three golden-age level gems that keep me interested long-term
Muse has been in what amounts to 1/3 of my life atp so I’ve gone through all their stuff and disliked a chunk of it, but they wouldn’t have stuck with me that long if I thought they were fully washed

I can vibe with that tbh, selfvoting during RVS can be a sign of scum trying to avoid making enemies by accident.
VOTE: halfasleep
HA also voted for 3 people before voting herself tho
I'm probably not as confident in this as DE is but I didn't see anyone else selfvoting twice, and I do think selfvoting is more often than not a bit sus. So it's a fine lead to drum up a bit of serious content, which we do need now

I get the point, but wouldn't it have been better for her to just vote for someone at random? It's less noticeable, and no one would really take the vote seriously
This is a newbie game, if this were my first rodeo I wouldn't trust anyone to take a joke I targeted at them as a joke 100% of the time. RVS can create some weird dynamics that last for all of D1 if not longer

Glad KJQ brings up the sleepslot. I’ve never been in a game with non-prelynch subs before, do you guys tend to reset your reads on a slot if someone new fills it?

Okay makes sense. Would you be willing to vote Skitter with me? And also can you explain the basis of your Ydra scumread?
I don’t think I ever said I scumread Ydra. I voted her but purposely didn’t explain why.
I will say I didn’t vibe with her fluff contributions though. I preferred yours more even though they were somewhat critical near the end.
This is a mindmeld. I have not abandoned my thoughts about Ydra, their RVS footprint felt very intentionally minimal outside of their convo with me specifically.

I don’t reset my reads. I give the rep-in a chance to catch up and comment on the game state. If that changes my read, I shift accordingly but I don’t clean slate them.

but i get that it can seem weird to not engage w that aspect of the game
i guess if you want to analyze like. the feeling of paranoia over it or break it down id ask for an explanation as to what my motivation would be if i was a wolf. am i trying to buddy a single person to leverage that later? am i afraid of being too awkward tonally because i have Too Much Information? etc
because i can dialogue about that stuff more if theres a want to dive deeper otherwise . well. Well.
Buddying yes, I wouldn’t expect the awkwardness feeling from you since you seem to be very experienced.

Hey I'm kind of like around and reading through during my commute home (but I imagine I won't finish; if not I'll continue later tonight)
While I'm doing that, anyone want to give me a tldr?
First 8 hours were a crazy RVS phase where everyone besides purple was heavily involved. Since then we've struggled to get real wagons going or generate better AI content, Dragon's attempt on halfasleep has been the closest thing. Your slot seems a tiny bit scummy rn

My stance on lowposters is always the same: them being a lowposter is not scummy, that's just the kind of person that's easy to target when you're bored with the gamestate. So yeah I don't buy the scum!zach arguments yet

Having just verified the meaning of the term threadspew (which basically means a situation where if everyone has a town read on someone that means they're probably town), I feel semi confident in declaring that ketchup is threadspewed as town. Not that it helps simce he was already obvtown, but like I'm now going to treat him as a third mason.
Yeah it is, because Im purposefully dodging the question lol
You can only keep your intentions about this stuff to yourself for so long before it starts to get anti-town. I believe I mentioned the same thing to yessiree in that normal and the same applies here
Your commenting on my posts has 0 value. If you think I'm scum vote me. I don't think you think I'm scum though.
With all due respect, don’t tell me to stop. I don’t care what YOU think has 0 value.
I believe there’s a chance you’re apprehensive to put your foot down and actually do something yet blabbing on about how important it is to do. I see value in it, so I’m doing it.
Moving on
Tbf it's very obvious why DE is fishing for support before taking major action, his own reads are fragile and I'd probably do the same if I were angling for a TL status. It's annoying but understandable

I feel bad saying this because they’re new but not a super fan of zachs posts. I’ll let them cook though and come back to this after the game advances somewhat as it could just be nerves and not knowing what to do (as either alignment)
What didn'f you like abt them?
They were incredibly withdrawn with their posting, he posted in a way that felt like he needed to say something but couldn’t sink his teeth into it at all. Instinctively this read as scummy but I also knew there was a high chance it was NAI so wanted to wait it out, which I did
Probably worth noting that this is literally zach's first game on the whole site.

NAI it is then
did you only just realise it was Zach's first game?

Holy catchup, Batman
Also why the actual fuck do people just give up like this, the timing here is too perfect for it not to be in-game reasons. Is it just a normal thing on this site to have multiple subs per game?

Sounds like someone's either venting about getting their slot compromised by the person they filled for, or they're making a big stink of something that already means nothing. I don't really care which atp because I strongly dislike the prospect of both.
