Why are you defending Plum? If it was a random statement they could say so. Now you’ve given them an out.

fwiw it is a party hat and that indeed is why it's party time

now go ahead and tell me that tris gave me an out
They did. Quite simply put the post is unnecessary. It fishes for what I was expecting then you can mirror. Garcia’ing in the early game is almost always bad.
ScumBlade's eloquent performance left me utterly disoriented, debased, depraved and sent me spiraling into a horrific murky abyss with emotional turmoil and immense despair as my only companions until slowly I suffocate in my own gloom, surrounded by failure.

i feel like you're trying to attack tris here for a fairly innocuous statement
Yes. I like to get things started fast and quick. Whether my first impressions are right or wrong it helps get people talking and moves us out of RVS into content and gives less room for scum to hide in.

Bad as in denies reads which is proscum. Unless you have a good reason garcia’ing in the early game is bad as it tends to monopolize conversation through one spot.

Also bad because if denied me reads on you and if my gut was correct or not.

Tris’s post was fishing for what I expected out of Plum.

Didn’t seem all that bad >> I either explain how it is bad, giving Plum an out if they are scum with Tris
Or if Plum is town Tris scum >> Gets me shit talking about town.

Either way it was just bad.

...

I'll tell you honestly the only reason for me to say "it's party time" there was a reference to the avatar thing me and my team have going on. However you read the choice to open with fluff, I'll tell you 100% NAI the reason that phrase came up is that

I'm saying this to try to help you get back your lost gut read in some capacity

Then vote me. See who joins you. Why would you be scared to vote?

It’s not like votes are immutable.

Is there some reason you’d be scared to vote me? You can always change it when you find out you’re wrong.

you realize you're railing against p much exactly what you're doing, right?

i'm not saying it's inherently a bad thing, as you did just single-handedly move the game out of rvs, but i think your complaint about garcia'ing is kinda silly
