Tfw Jay puts no lynch in a game as an option after a reasonable discussion in Sloonei’s game and then Sloonei and some other mfers want to fucking annihilate you for choosing it

[VOTE: LUNA] aubergine

Nothing about Luna’s reads progress organically. They are all over the place and not even in a way that sounds justifiable when she’s grilled on it. That post llama highlighted as contrived was REALLY contrived as well.

If I get lynched because I voted no lynch because I’m busy at work then so be it, but I NEVER want to hear anyone again say I’m trying to outsmart you when I’m really just doing dumb shit by accident.

Why in the world are people townclearing Luna because she doesn’t understand the Matrix? Nobody understands the Matrix!

The only explanation I can vibe with is scum!colin going for it to fuck with us

What in the world are you talking about? I have no idea what game this is meant to refer to and I think you’re confusing me with someone else.

novaselinenever wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 8:22 pm I feel worse about Colin after a quick re-read. I think he's taking advantage of that "it's just old colin messing around", and miking it. He dumbed down when he started to catch some heat. He then switched up to shitting on everything mode with an exercise (what's the purpose of it? what did he gain from it?) that is yet to be finished. The only thing he has going for him is the doubt that comes with "would scum Colin do this" which isn't much.

Exercise? What exercise?

She was online yesterday and had enough time to roleclaim and comment on mac. I want more comprehensive reads than that. @Lunalee what do you think of Colin, nova, and me?
Current ranking in my head:
Sloonei
Nova
Colin
Why is Colin bad? And who else is?
Why Colin's bad?
I just don't get a good feeling from going back and looking at Colin. First his "no lynch" vote following the list of reads he gave earlier in day 1 where the worst read he gave was "null"
He did strongly feel i was town, then switched on me by night one. Almost like scum colin realized he was getting no where by having no "suspects," so he turned to the easiest (in my opinion) suspect, myself.

Nova is still an enigma to me. I just can't read him.

I don't know who else is scum-compatible with Colin. Might need to look at that closer at that in case he's bad.

So can we talk about how Luna is just adopting other peoples’ reads of me when she said something completely different the last time she talked about me?

thellama73 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 15, 2019 12:45 pm Sorry for multiposting, but things keep ocurring to me that I want to get down. If Mongoose's no lynch vote was indeed accidental, and I believe that it was, then we can deduce nothing about her alignment from it. I still don't think she looks good, but thta is one piece of evidence that is off the table.

On the other hand, I maintain that intentionally voting No Lynch is an anti-town move. I said before that I did not believe both baddies would vote No Lynch in concert, so if Colin turns out to be bad, Mongoose wouldn't be, and vice versa. That logic no longer holds since one of the votes was unintentional. I think this makes Colin look worse, as the only player to actively choose no lynch. His unwillingness to participate very much is not helping him, either.

Voting no lynch is not ideal, but I’m not going to vote for someone when I really couldn’t justify it to myself ... that’s what scum do.

I had every intention of playing a bigger role in D1 but got a lot of work dumped on me so it just wasn’t gonna happen. I don’t plan on doing it again.

She could only name one suspect in her GTH reads. What do you make of that?

I can relate. If she’s bad perhaps she’s getting credit she doesn’t deserve from me but nothing she’s done has really pinged me.

This is still a load of hot bullshit as I am not even the first person in the thread to make that point.
I was quibbling with dunya (and Nova) about a rationale for voting for someone (temporarily, I believe) without intent to lynch. My point in calling it “hot bullshit” was that they were being willfully obtuse on the subject to apply pressure to me, and that others had discussed voting for other reasons (applying pressure, for one) earlier but I had been singled out.

I see a ton of authenticity in Mongoose’s game. We’re kindred spirits of being in over our heads.

You know if I was really feeling up to it I could roleplay as Charlie and have all my posts be completely illegible

Okay, thanks. Now that Dunya's gone, are your top suspicions still Mac and Luna? I can't help but notice you called yourself a Golden God, when we now know that Dunya was said Golden God, so that is mildly interesting. Might have ben a fake role hint, might have just been using the terminology of the show.

Yeah but I do need to read the end of N1. The Golden God bit is just a line from the show (as is calling Mac a “Bastard Man”).

Grasping at straws.
I don’t understand. What do you think I’m saying?
I think it's a weak attempt to play offense with no real evidence or case making as a way of trying to defend yourself.

I am saying dunya’s point here is a direct contradiction of what she was just telling me re: juliets.

Here are Colin Thoughts:

ColinIsCool: a Golden God.

dunya: I can not find a rhyme or reason to anything dunya does, which is NAI for me. I see a lot of changing opinions and a lot of seizing on small things to justify myriad votes but not a lot of progression or consistency in what she believes. I find her sprit vote especially distasteful and I honestly think she may have voted off me because of TMI. I would expect town dunya to tunnel me straight into Hell.

juliets: super authentic throughout. She is as town as it gets.

Lunalee: suspect numero uno. She is letting other people duke it out and get attention, even letting other people come up with her reads. I think she is flying under the radar by design.

M Plus 7/llama: null

MacDougall: I agreed with nova’s assessment re: convictions. Then I thought, hmm, his argument with nova feels legitimate, but Mac is a Bastard Man, so I can see him arguing very persuasively as scum.

Mongoose: also seems very authentic a la juliets. No qualms here and I struggle to see where everybody else’s come from

novaselinenever: solidly town imo. Totally different playstyle from Community, I agree a lot with what he says.

Sloonei: town, but beware of false prophets.

My top 3 are Luna, Mac and dunya. There ye be

I’ve tried giving her space to build cases and do her thing all day, but she hasn’t. I still do not have a clear sense of where her head is at in the scum hunting process. I usually do.

Sloonei has already outlined a billion reasons why he suspects me, reasons I can understand, so I’d find it odd if scum Sloonei thought juliets was an easier target, assuming she is town.

Don’t play dumb with me dunya. If you actually thought juliets was bad, being nice isn’t a reason to not vote for her. If you are town your job is to lynch scum, although perhaps your rolecard gave you something different.
i think i'd read through the game before talking shit like this to me.

and it isn't at all hard to believe i would not lynch juliets day 1. she was nkd n1 in my gg game and was extremely sad and disappointed--when i say extremely i don't mean it lightly. i wouldn't do that to her 2 games in a row unless i had absolutely no other choice. i'm glad we didn't lynch her day 1. i have no intention of lynching her day 2 either.

If something looks bad on D1, I don’t need to read N1 to crack the code why. The only context that matters is that in which it happened.

I do not find your justification satisfactory, and I wonder if others do?

I dunno how this looks for Mac — hard to tell how seriously he was calling me scum, but it is unusual for him to give somebody something to do when he thinks they are, I think. Usually he is telling them to concede. Although I think he said I’m town on the Turntometer, so idk

I really like juliets’ exercise of finding push-back, it seems to be a really good hunting idea

Mongoose wrote: ↑Tue Mar 12, 2019 9:23 pm @Sloonei

In RE: The State v. Luna: Hung Jury. Yes, I do think I would lump myself in with folks that can't read her (this happened in another game recently), but the jury is still out. I'd like to see a little more.

In RE: The State v. Colin: 50/50 - I felt pretty good about him, so I asked for some more details once I saw two of you had voted him, and then you both had answers that were thoughtful and thought-out, so that's why I'm less sure now.

In RE: The State v. Juliets: Nah. While I understand the case folks were making on her, it seemed like a mountain of molehole. An allegation that she uncharacteristically wasn't here enough but when she did, she didn't draw out the right posts or ask the right questions. I'm not looking there yet.

linki - thank you for that dunya

Also, welcome to spirityo!

Up to this point Mongoose is kind of ... staying out of things, asking a lot of questions, getting kinda behind. I do wonder if it’s noteworthy that there were no scum reads here (not real ones) but I did the same thing kinda.

[VOTE: novaselinelover] aubergine
There are plenty of reasons to vote for someone at an early stage in Day 1 that don’t amount to “I want to lynch you.” Gtfo with this

Applying pressure? Testing their reaction? Shits and giggles?

This ain’t my first rodeo folks and I know it ain’t y’alls either.
Those are all fair. The "nope" is geared towards your "I was pinged, voted you up but had no intention to lynching you" response to Dunya's concern about your town read on her and the difference between this game and the community one.

Nova says I am a backpedaler ... then backpedals by saying, “Oh, I was actually responding to an entirely different point than the one I had quoted.” What?

Sloonei gets no cred for bringing the Matrix into this. Scum would be just as eager to see what they’re up against as town.

I think Colin or speed or maybe both are bad. Colin was here but didn't make posts to further the game. I gave speed a bye for not posting much yesterday but he's had plenty of time today. For the time being I'll put my vote on Colin since he's actually been here more than speed.

On one hand I think people are just blowing smoke at juliets in these early pages and her frustration rings true. On the other this is a rather weak list — two dudes barely here?

Pretty early for proclamations like “so town it hurts” ain’t it?

That is the first 2 pages. 1/8!

I got a lot more work rolled into my job today and I am going to be a wee bit occupied. (Also I’m not getting a raise if you were curious.

)

But I will do my best to reassess the thread and get better reads before EOD. I see many of you now believe I’m just regular dumbass Colin so that’s a relief.

I WILL reread the thread and give better thoughts. But for now I will say that I can understand Sloonei’s assessment of me and I give him town cred for it. If he’s scum he’s putting in a ton of roof-care into it.

Mac really does get me.

As a reminder — when I’m scum I’m very careful and deliberate about what I do. When I roll town ... not so much. I do dumb shit all the time and I admit it. I think this is a verbatim defense I offered in Outpost, where I was a bumbling townie. I am pretty much always a bumbling townie these days.
