The Trials - ENDGAME

[maxwell]

Again posts frokm DGB like 558 and 559 don't speak to town motivation to me. opportunism and empty attacks. Not seeing this supposed solving mindset multiple people have told me about.

Got to the end of day 1. I do have somewhat of a gut vibe toward gypyx as town but not strong at all.

[maxwell]

Have to admit don't see gypyx making 666 as scum. going for the more difficult vote instead of the LHF ones in the gladiate and his reasoning isn't bad there.


Marashu's posts continue to be absolutely horrible and offer nothing of value.

[maxwell]

Vote in 763 from Marashu is bad. Don't much care for the way DGB attacked Nos in 866, feels like a hyperbolic reaction to a post that's easy to parse (namely, that he didn't think scum would play the way plusjoyed was playing). Really hate 913 from gypyx on first blush but that's with the benefit of hindsight knowing today is lylo, on second thought the idea that the trolling town could be a liability in trial is a fairly nuanced thought when most people were just calling for killing a lowposter without much behind it. Through page 40 now.

Actually Eddie's 1021 pings slightly townie, stubbornness if the face of what everone is doing and assumption he might be sent to the gladiate rings town. Starting vote on Titus day 2 feels like a believable sort of paranoia. Don't like DGB's push back on him here either.

1135 from taylor is really notable as a soft defense of Marashu.

Marashu continues with mostly bad setup spec in 1160, only thing close to aread in the second sentence is nosferatu saying he thought everyone in the gladiate was town is "interesting". real limp non-analysis, lightly tries to paint him as scum for doing that by saying he's "hedging bets" which doesn't really make sense. Finding myself agreeing with Titus as I read the thread.


Glitch on replace is is...fine? I think.

Might be giving gypyx too much credit, I don't know. 1261 is meh.

[maxwell]

Feels very wrong that I might end up casting a game deciding vote here when I've been in the game less than a day but my impression on a readthrough is not a lot of people seemed to care anyway.

[Tayl0r Swift]

maxwell what are your reads now?

[maxwell]

(T -> S)
Titus, Glitch, Gypyx, DGB, Taylor, Marashu

Middle is fairly shaky. Struggling to see why when so many players were being attacked for no content Marashu has largely been given a pass for the majority of the game.

[maxwell]

Actually DGB is probably scummier on net but I can't get over you making excuses for Marashu who feels fairly obv-scum

[Tayl0r Swift]

have you finished reading the whole thread?

[Tayl0r Swift]

and why do you excuse titus for making excuses for idle and obvscum!nos?

[Tayl0r Swift]

i mostly just wanted titus to give them equal treatment.

[Tayl0r Swift]

it creeps me out that titus and maxwell are so buddy buddy, even though i think titus is probably town. very strange for a slot to replace in and immediately reciprocate the defense. they strongly townread each other and each has marashu as top scum.

[DrippingGoofball]

It's almost the perfect list a scum would make after not reading the whole game.

[maxwell]

It's the contrast of things like this:

Taylors not fake >:(

Sorry but she still goes woah is me and cries anytime I ask why Mara shouldn't be sorted. She never gives a reason. She's now trying to accuse me of being scum to avoid the very problems she's created.

Attacking others instead of taking responsibility for or trying to correct problems is fake.

i keep asking you why i should sort marashu as scum and you never answer and then dont like that i havent sorted marashu as scum. like marashu just hasnt done anything that let me sort the slot.

To your staed read on my slot:

nos - light town

how

what am i chopped liver?

initially i had you as light town for townreading me, which i assumed was a metaread. but that has since changed to a bit of a scumread - your posts are mostly fluff, light on analysis, and you've been hopping your vote around quite a lot while sheeping. i expect more and better content from you. and the townread on me could just as easily be an attempt to pocket.

Being "fluff, light on analysis" while you pushed the slot for several days without much added reasoning. You were willing to be extremely charitable to Marashu for some reason while never really giving the benefit of the doubt to Nosferatu.

[DrippingGoofball]

He's not even looking at the wagons, it's like he took a foregone conclusion and justified it.

I mean, sure, if you ignore everything I've actually said in my stream of consciousness, it's strange.

well it seems like you didnt read everything, since marashu has made some very good posts today.

No shit? You asked me what my reads were, I'm on page 52 Maybe they'll change. Maybe they won't.

[Tayl0r Swift]

well yeah thats why i asked you if youd read everything

[DrippingGoofball]

I am more interested in gypyx and Glitch, I would like more contributions from them.

[maxwell]

Okay then. So you understand you asked for work in progress reads. Don't try to ring me up for that.

[Tayl0r Swift]

Feels very wrong that I might end up casting a game deciding vote here when I've been in the game less than a day but my impression on a readthrough is not a lot of people seemed to care anyway.

this post implied you had finished the readthrough. thats why i asked. why are you being so aggressive about it?

[maxwell]

Nah, still working, you could see from what I've commented on. Being aggressive because it's annoying to get attacked in this fashion although it feels like a misunderstanding at this point.

[Tayl0r Swift]

initially it was a misunderstanding but your reaction does seem a bit overblown

[Tayl0r Swift]

someone come tell me im confbiasing or tunneling pls
