Open 688: Diffusion of Power (Game Over)

[NotTheRealPaul]

I coast in all my games

[Gamma Emerald]

That's not a good look
Why do you always coast

[RadiantCowbells]

Alban threatening to replace out if people scumread you is way outside of the spirit of the game regardless of your alignment.

[NotTheRealPaul]

That's not a good look
Why do you always coast

because im a lazy sonofabitch and usually pretty confused.

I'll get active when there is less ppl usually or if im rlly interested but most of time i coast like im doing here

[Gamma Emerald]

Ok
I can understand that

[NotTheRealPaul]

Why does Titus TR alban? I kinda wanna lynch him rn tbh.

UNVOTE:

I dont think im supporting navy lynch ever. Navy hasnt done anything. Its not grounds to lynch unless its their scum meta to flake

[Gamma Emerald]

Navy flakes as both alignments

[Gamma Emerald]

Reads
Mathblade - possibly scum
RadiantCowbells - scummy mcscummers
NJAC - ugh I think he may be stalling or lurking rn, possibly scum
Titus - town
Navy - could be scum
alban - seems like town
Vedith - town?
NotTheRealPaul - no damn clue nothing stands out from him
Kelvin Smith - probably Town

This is my last read of alban
At this point I'm thinking my lynch order for docs is Navy > alban > RC (Titus and Kelvin are off the table). I could see it but it's not as prevalent as Navy from what I've seen

[NotTheRealPaul]

Navy flakes as both alignments

why are we lynching them then? I only remember the case being "navy isnt here". Who did they replace? Like is replacee the reason? And if we can lynch based on predecessor's play then we can lynch math cuz HM was bad

[Gamma Emerald]

Yeah
I wasn't speaking about this before because ongoing game but I rolled wolf with him in a jungle oligarchy and he had this same awkwardness. But I think he might just be awk since I specced one of his Newbie games and he was that way there

[NotTheRealPaul]

wsit which question was that replying to?

[Gamma Emerald]

That's about Hellfire's play

[RadiantCowbells]

I agree about HM ftr

I'd lynch alban.

VOTE: Alban

[NotTheRealPaul]

alright but he still wasnt a townie. if all his play is awk then its NAI.

VOTE: alban

[RadiantCowbells]

Math if you're not on this after everything you've said about his slot and he flips scum no one is copping you, you're just getting autolynched.

[Titus]

Math if you're not on this after everything you've said about his slot and he flips scum no one is copping you, you're just getting autolynched.

Yeah, this makes me not want to lynch Alban.

[RadiantCowbells]

alban flips scum, math has spent the game calling him scum but prevented him from being wagoned, alban spent the entire game calling your sibling scum but has been defending them now that they're a real wagon

and that doesn't make you reconsider your position at all? that's called confbias and that's why I'm not taking your mathblade seriously any more than you're taking mine seriously.

[RadiantCowbells]

if math wants to be town they can put their vote where their mouth is.

[Titus]

alban flips scum, math has spent the game calling him scum but prevented him from being wagoned, alban spent the entire game calling your sibling scum but has been defending them now that they're a real wagon

and that doesn't make you reconsider your position at all? that's called confbias and that's why I'm not taking your mathblade seriously any more than you're taking mine seriously.

Look, you're telling me what alban is saying. He needs to get in here and take stances himself. If he refuses, I would probably lynch him. I'm wanting him to do that.

[RadiantCowbells]

HE HAS DONE THAT.

ARE YOU READING HIS POSTS?

[Titus]

whoever (RC?) said cops should check cop claims makes sense. it clears two people in one go.
the cop should visit Math in the night. for that, we need him alive.

This is exactly your stance, so I really don't see your problem here. :/

We had a plan. Alban agrees.

Scum whisper in your ear and now you undo it.

[RadiantCowbells]

Okay. If I am going to be a suspect regardless of what I do, I am not gonna vote for Math/Navy. You can take support from other parties. My vote is fine where it is. At this point in the game, I will play based on my beliefs rather than yours/Titus's/RC's. I was ready to vote for Math, but you are very cleverly safeguarding your interests either coz of your playstyle or coz you are a scum.

My two cents: My suggestion to the cops will be regardless of who turns out to be what at the lynch's end, they should cop Kelvin/Titus/RC tonight so that there's at least one confirmed player who can drive the game. These three are being active and giving out a vibe that they know what they are doing. Till I am not sure about their alignment, I can't trust their plan. I think the hierarchy should be RC>Titus>Kelvin, and then the town should tomorrow do more or less what the confirmed townie feels is right. The danger in copping inactive players or players who are not in a position to drive the game is that even if you know their alignment, so what? Like if you cop me, and know that I am town, how is it going to affect the game? At this point, it might be good for everyone to know the alignment of a driven player rather than for a driven player to know the alignment of an inactive one. That way even the driven player will derive more traction.

Alban has been calling Math scum the whole game.
but when it looks like it might happen he backs down, specifically calls for a suboptimal cop to be made in the docs, demands not to be copped, calls for cops to NOT target mathblade
and frankly him calling for the cop in a way that it's obviously going to wind up hitting me makes me feel like he's just decided that I'm getting shot tonight no matter what.

so no I'm not putting words into Alban's mouth like you claim: these are their actual posts. but you're ignoring it because it doesn't fit your narrative about the game.

[Gamma Emerald]

That's a major stance change actually
Alban I'd like an explanation.

[Titus]

And he gets a chance to explain. That's how this works

[RadiantCowbells]

and you get a chance to renounce your opposition to the will of the senate and henceforth submit your vote into the keeping of emperor radiantcowbells
