Did you send me a guitar?

I didn't know what brand you play.

I do think that's pretty solid reasoning, but I will not commit my vote to the East Facility players if I find overwhelming evidence of someone being scummy who just happens to be from the West Facility. I like that there's already been a lot of discussion and catch-up on what's happened in each of our respective threads, and I'll encourage it to continue, because it's important to get the full picture of what we've missed. But I would be a little wary of the people who are agreeing to only vote someone from their Facility, because I do think it's an easy way for scum to cop out of voting a partner who's catching heat from the opposite thread. I think the original suggestion was towny, but imo the more who agree with it and push it as the correct play, the more likely that wolves are backing the idea.

What have I missed?

I feel no urgency to do these things right now.

Among those who have 10 or more posts in this thread right now, whom do you suspect the most?

I say Sloonei.

huh, why sloonei? he
seems pretty solid to me
is there more context?

mine would probably
be leetic out of the list.
but would not vote there

I've found Sloonei to be more reactive than proactive. I'm used to good Sloondog digging in and asking questions.

Moreover, Sloonei kept going on about falcon but has moved on from exploring that here.

Before that, Sloonei voted falcon to give pyxxy space (but did vote pyxxy eventually).

falcon hasn't posted in this thread yet, though?

I have a vague and not-well-defined suspicion of Falcon.

Now that we're all in the same room, should we compare notes about whether or not this game might be multiball?

I'm going to stick around for a beer and then hit the hay.

oof, good luck.

I'll be in and out of the thread at random points in time but I should be here at least around the same time as today so far.

Delta: Prodded pyxxy to contribute more a couple of times, never really pushed them hard. At EoD, was more concerned about their wagon than pyxxy's.
Epignosis: One of the earlier voters on pyxxy, but only really had three real interactions with them.
falcon: Only player (besides 1-poster Spacedaisy) to never interact with pyxxy at all.
LC: Voted pyxxy last-minute; had no strong pyxxy interactions before then.
Abby: One of the earlier and more steadfast pyxxy voters.
Ricochet: Talked about pyxxy a couple times but never really established them as a suspicion.
Scrappy: Had pyxxy as their alleged biggest suspect (without much elaboration) only to switch to tunneling me by EoD.
sig: Voted pyxxy last-minute without ever interacting with them beforehand.
Sloonei: Originally voted pyxxy just to follow Epi without expressing a real read on them. Eventually just voted pyxxy because they were the "best" option
TSP: Only a couple of barely notable pyxxy mentions. Had the opportunity to switch their vote to pyxxy at EoD but didn't.

It kinda sounds like pyxxy was very alone in the thread.
nobody was townreading Lime Coke either in our thread, but there were at least one or two folks who felt that lunching him for lowposting wasn't the best choice.
I heard about the multiball theory being floated in your thread; do you think that's more likely than pyxxy being bussed or ignored by a partner?

While it is true that there wasn't anybody really defending pyxxy (besides Delta maybe?) the pushers of pyxxy weren't really that forceful either? For most of the phase, the only pushers were Abby, Epi (who basically mentioned them offhandedly after I asked them who they would be okay with dying) and Sloonei (who was only there because Epi was, and not because they voiced a strong suspicion of pyxxy themselves) (and Scrappy I guess). pyxxy only really went down after he was flailing at EoD. So I think it is likely that his partners ignored him for most of the phase, but may have bussed him at EoD (but I'm not 100% certain on that part).

ok, thanks for your thoughts. I'm trying to get a good picture of what happened in the West thread to see if there are parallels in the East. I had a theory that maybe wolves could still communicate with each other despite the split, so if the team knew that both Lime Coke and pyxxy were going down on the same day, they might have coordinated an attempt to make the rest of the team look good. A double-bus would be pretty brutal, though, so one of those flips might have been unintentional. I think it was pretty clear in East that Lime was definitely going to flip once he started posting on D1. How close was pyxxy's wagon to any counters?

WindwardAway wrote: ↑Fri Feb 02, 2024 11:52 pm Actually just remembered something. Sabi kept saying they wished they could've talked more to pyxxy and Delta because they got split into the other thread. How (un)likely do you think it is that Sabi would say that if they're partnered with Lime and pyxxy? Was pyxxy lunched D1 or D2?

After pyxxy went, I started looking at interactions. Delta was the first or one of the first and that was good enough for me at the time. See the statement above.

Delta's answer to my suspicion was one of the more bizarre explanations I have ever heard (LC has it, I think). Nevertheless, by that point, I was the only vote on Delta.

Meanwhile, Porscha was shitting on The Pyxxy Scientists and seemed very frustrated and unlike what I recalled Porscha to be of either alignment.

Seanzie popped in and said Porscha is mean when bad. I have no evidence of that (the claim, not that Seanzie said it, but I suppose I don't have evidence of either ).

Eventually I was dumb and voted Porscha despite my reluctance. The other viable option at the time was sig, someone I've not given much thought to.

Porscha was good. Seanzie was also good.

This was a shameful display.

Who are The Pyxxy Scientists?
