Yes, I see that but I want to see more from you in game than just that. Buddying is when you are being affectionate and by doing so, making me subconsciously look elsewhere for suspicious activity, instead of looking right at you.

Well i have been doign slightly more already or do you disagree?

Also i could say something funny but ill be nice and not embarass you

i knwo someone said something about the voting the guy and i know sevral of us has said why.

pedit: silvers town. care to tell me whats pining you?

Tell me about whatever your heart desires, I'm not the boss of you.

But if you really want to do my bidding, I'd be interested in your thoughts on myself, gleam, and/or Epignosis. Or literally anybody else you prefer to look at. Or any thought you have at all about the game.

well gleam im currently voteing so it should be sefl explainotry

episgon i can go iso and i need to iso you consideign how you are voting me and not directly interacitng with me about it before i would say leanign scum.

i'm not directly interacting with you? What are all of these posts then?

And there's nothing self-explanatory about your vote for Gleam. Votes are something you're supposed to explain yourself, not something I'm supposed to piece together on my own.

well now you are, but your "well we could all look at ika" was not.

i expalined it seveal times already why im voting him. i mean like that you should kinda see why based on what i have said.

i like having some cards close to my chest

i do it without saying most times. dont share thoughts as either aligment openly.

but i just glanced though hsi iso and it has a derpy tone to it that kinda says "meh i dont care about me" type thing

Well then I find everything about your style suspicious. If this is just how you are as town then I'll have to get used to it, but for now I can't really look at your output and say "yup, this guy's town. Giving reads without evidence or reasons to back them up is null to me, and the easiest way in the world for scum to participate.

I had mentioned you several times before that post. My vote was already on you and I'd tried to get your attention long before makig that post.
I suppose you have given some reasons for yojr Gleam vote, but your analysis has been very light all around, at least by my standards. I get that cultural differences are responsible for the differences in our styles, but where I come from (RateYourMusic), reasoned suspicions are the name of the game.

sig wrote:I don't like this huge bandwagon on gleam, espacilly since nobody has ever actually explained their suspicion of him, or if they have I don't remember it.

I've got a slight mafia gut read on Wilgy.

Also I find it odd how quite Zebra/LC seem to be this game.

I agree with this. I am mostly caught up and I really don't understand how Gleam has so many votes so early in the day. I understand votes are changeable but with this level it's making a statement and I don't understand the case.

I haven't taken a close look at gleam's posts today, but the swiftness of those votes against him to start the day pretty much deterred me from wanting to vote for him.

The point of that post was, I can barely tell you two apart. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Not that odd. I'm co-hosting Arkham (sometimes) and playing in Rocky and Bullwinkle... and RL reasons that I've been busy. Hence the big catch-up and multi-quote posts.

Well know that you've made a good amount of posts with your views it isn't. Early in the game I had forgetting about you altogether which was odd.

Imo Zebra's silence is bothering me more than Long Con's.

This is where I'm at. Scotty's vote seems questionable to me, I haven't looked at the other votes in depth yet. Scotty said he was voting for Gleam "Because", and then when asked to elaborate, he said:

Scotty wrote:As for me voting gleam: it's mostly a continuation suspicion of my night 1 eyeing of him for being a floppy pancake. But I'm far too lazy to look it up right now. About to enter a poker tournament.

This isn't just. Throwaway vote on a wagon. It's just gut, and he happens to have a bunch of votes piles on as well, so there's that.

So idk, but putting the sixth vote on a wagon more than 24 hours before the lynch deadline, when it doesn't look like a "pressure vote" or like it's furthering the read, well it looks like it's just there. I feel like I can't judge Scotty's motives until the Day is over and I see what else he does with his vote, but right now I feel like he's just gonna keep it parked there until deadline and that feels weird to me for reasons I can't really articulate.

That´s a little far-fetched. We are supposed to catch baddies here, and in that moment Chaindeath seemed to me like the most scummy player. I was not happy with any of the major wagons, so I went with him. Do you believe both me and Ika(and the other players with two votes) are cops then? If so, why didn´t you vote for any of us?

I do agree with some of the above posters that Slooneis vote did seem like an act to save a teammate.

You sound very defensive here.

I said I think someone was mafia I didn't specifically said it was you, and I don't recall mentioning Ike at all so I find you bringing him up to be odd. You barely mentioned Chaindeath and your reason for voting him was weak. He was also one of the players who already had two votes so yes it does seem like you just put your vote down on someone who had votes.

linki: Zebra's silence is also strange and she said I was a civ read. I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Zebra's also in Rocky & Bullwinkle and about to host a game on RYM and she hasn't been around much the last couple of days in either of those places either, for the record.

Haven't you ever stood on your head before? This is what happens when you type things while standing on your head and looking in a mirror.

It's easier to read if you stand on your head and read it in a mirror.

I get it now, my Chrome obviously needs to update some Character files or something, because I see "□ǝs I po˙"... the "Y" is important for getting it, it looks like gobbledygook to me.

This always catches my eye when players tie their own fate to another player (Nero attaching himself to ika in this case). It's like an indirect form of buddying. I haven't scanned Nero's other posts though.

Anyways Nero, in this post you say that Chaindeath seemed to be the most scummy player in that moment. How are you feeling about him now, and why?

Addressing some things real quick:

Silverwolf, you spun your wheels pretty hard when I asked you to explain why you voted for me with no prior explanation. Then you said that you refused to elaborate, only when another person chimed in did you backtrack and say it was to see how someone reacted. Then when you were asked about what you thought of my reaction, you said it was just OMGUS.

You also said it was impossible to start a bandwagon that early in the game. I beg to differ. All it takes is a margin of one or two votes to start a bandwagon.

Could everyone else please go back to the very beginning of the day period and look at my criticism of Silverwolf's behavior. I honestly, truly believe she is acting completely irrational, and the fact that no one else is pointing it out is absolutely fucking mind boggling. I honestly thought it would speak for itself.

Marmot, would you please explain your vote too and quit with the shitposting.

Also Scotty, how was I acting like a, whatever it was you called me? Wet pancake or something? The hell does that even mean?

I need to go to work and then to some school matters. I probably won't be around until much later tonight.

yawn can we lynch this now?

What so other people think of ika? Am I alone in thinking his behavior stinks of deliberate unhelpfulness? On Day 1 he kept saying he wanted to sort silverwolf first and foremost, which is a reasonable strategy, but on Day 2 he just seems to be saying she's town but not really working together in any capacity with her like he seemed to suggest, and most of the reads he's posting are minimal at best. He is falling back on a meta-defense when I (or anyone else) press him. I can understand differences in culture and playstyle, but this also wreaks of a player who's taking advantage of these differences to hide behind them.

EBWOP: "What DO other people think of ika?"

Phone posts forever.

This is a major misrep of my actions. I've already explained why I voted you and your behavior in reaction to it, seals it. If you are gonna spend this much time discrediting me, I still don't know why you are not voting for me but instead waiting for support from others before doing so. That's a scum trait IMO because I've seen it before.

Right here you said that any of the people with two votes is a cop. I used Ika as an example of one of them because I could not remember any of the others.

I voted Chaindeath for the same reason you believe my vote to be weak: his vote on LC. There was almost no reasoning at all and it pinged me pretty much. Imo he did redeem himself in his last post and I am not pinged by him as much as before.

Right now I don´t know who to vote for. How much time until the day ends?

I'm so sorry, guys. I hate non-participators, but I simply don't have the time to catch up right now. I'm asking Daisy and MP to replace me, and also want to apologize for taking up a space in this awesome game I couldn't play. If they can't find a replacement and things calm down a bit on my end, then I'll make an effort to play this. I just have so much on my plate that kinda takes priority.

Wait, quite a few people have been voicing disagreement against the Gleam wagon. Is this a coordinated cop effort to steer the thread in a specific direction?

I disagree with his opinion that you are just voting him without interacting with him or explaining it and disagree with his scumread of you. I have been leaning town on you for awhile now.

Nerolunar wrote:Wait, quite a few people have been voicing disagreement against the Gleam wagon. Is this a coordinated cop effort to steer the thread in a specific direction?

I've noticed the resistance to this wagon for awhile now. Just noting this for now as it the opposition seems kind of strong at this point. I'ts particularly troublesome to see the ones voting for him, being discredited for very weak reasons.
