It's a catch up post. It just talks about things a player notes during the game as they catch up. Responding to one thing, reading onto other things. The constant was Abr as scum.
What angles do you see her covering?
Sarcasm is just a way of saying how stupid you think someone is but in a more polite way.

If you nominate me and I die spring gets to be chain leader a second time. Confirm with the mod yourself if you want.

Do we really want spring to be leader? But on the other hand, can't scum always just NK the nominated chain leader so technically spring could always be leader. That would sorta be broken because if spring was scum, she would be untouchable.

Why do you think at least one scum is outside of the chain?
'Cause if every scum were safe they could shut up and let town fuck things up
This still doesn't make sense since most people in this game are town and can continue to talk

Yes but what effectively do those catchups do? My bias may be in play but when I'm scum and I have nothing to talk about (see: hard to fake enthusiasm) I'll just cover myself by talking about multiple things even if they don't mean anything in the long run. It's just little things I notice. There's a cursory glance here and there from Starbuck but you're right the only thing certain about her posts is that she doesn't like ABR.

4) If the quiz is failed, scum gain a unspecified advantage.
5) All quiz team member must pass the quiz, for the quiz to be passed.
6) If no quiz team can be formed, scum gain an unspecified advantage.
I voted to approve because given the above criteria, I am not giving scum any advantages and I really need to see that vote count of who voted against (aside from ABR throwing his tantrum and comparing me to Marie Antoinette). I also like this list (even with myself included) because it's full of level-headed players that aren't over the top incendiary.

I wanted a second opinion from a few other whom maybe knows him better and maybe put a brief pause on the antagonism.
So for anyone who know tse is it like him to find everything little thing a player say as scummy?
Example is post 492 about unwnd listing 3 players and tse calling it a scum slip when other players have listed 2-4 players when asked.
+1 I'd also appreciate a breakdown of TSE.


And now we're getting into ABR's tantrum and authoritarianism. I thought he wanted a democracy?

In post 563, SirCakez wrote:I think I'm gonna stop reading TSE posts

Spring is the chain leader so I don’t see them changing it.
Spring is also bulletproof.
If Spring is town

Doesn’t matter if Spring Is Town or Scum.
It’s the same result.

Why are you bringing that up?
Why doesn't it matter? If spring is scum, they'll fail the quiz and give scum a leg up. They could also pass as scum to gain trust and bus. I'm not sure how I feel on spring because there's been some questionable actions from their direction. I'm not ruling out that they could be overwhelmed from being chainleader, but it is curious by any means.
In post 923, unwnd wrote:Starbuck i just feel like you're covering all angles in ways it's hard to determine where your priorities lie
That's kind of my goal when I catch up or I go back and do a re-read. I try to gleam what I may have missed the first time around. I feel much better after my re-read a few days ago and now with my catch up today. Do you need some examples of my past games where I had mega catch ups or anything? I think the majority are still in my Wiki if you need something to compare to.

My guess is you haven't read a word that I've written or seen that I have questions for multiple people in those posts. For all that I haven't liked about him, SirCakez actually found my questions for him and responded. I, even in years past, try to condense multi-page catch ups into one bigger post rather than spam everyone.

In all actuality, though, I usually feel a lot better of knowing the goings-on after a big catch up like I did today (which took me the better part of 2-2.5 hours mind you) than when I'm in the midst of a back and forth keyboard war.

Boom.
This makes me sus of ABR. Based on a game with him and what other players have said about him he is quite strong as town. I don't think he would accidentally add Beeboy to the team proposal as town. He should know that Beeboy can't be on the team.


I think Spring is genuine in thinking that holding the chain until the quiz is sorted is pro-town. Although I don't agree I can see her point of view.

He definitely should be to lower the risk of a misynch.
