VOTE: Marashu

Welcome.

Pedit: Anime is trash, I'd never be connected with something so cringe. We should make an anti-anime town block.

HOLY SHIT!

I knew we had a connection, just couldn't figure out in what way.

Guys, you will have to threaten my family to get me to vote Tux from here on out.

Okay, you I like! This is very funny!

Could you fill me in on why Marashu is now at El-2?
(I'm trying out new terms) (I chose "El" because it is pronounced the same in my head as "L" and stands easily in for "Elimination") (I can use "H" is that is the standard this game tho)

Post in the thread in 24 hours or I will start looking for a replacement.

Nash · Post Post #757 (ISO) » Fri Jul 03, 2020 12:16 am

I still exist! I can consolidate the Marashu wagon if the top kill preferences are him and PP at this state.
VOTE: Marashu

THIS IS H-1

Aristophanes · Post Post #758 (ISO) » Fri Jul 03, 2020 12:56 am

Marushy is at El-1 and I don't understand why. Can someone please fill me in before a hammer drops??

Like, I just went through and read Mara's Iso and I don't see scum motivation there. Like no scum ping or anything from the slot! Overall it was a very neutral read. So what am I missing here?

Is it a gameplay difference in the new generation of players? I haven't played with many 2019s and I don't think I have with any 2020 joindates other than alts, so maybe they have a tell that I am missing??

@Nash,
Consolidation on a wagon is fine at only a couple days left but El-1 is not a consolidation vote. It is not a pressure vote. It shows you want this stot eliminated. What is your case here, other than consolidation?

Man, I haven't played in a newbie game in a while. PenguinPower, save me!

Aristophanes · Post Post #759 (ISO) » Fri Jul 03, 2020 12:57 am

Ah shit, I didn't close my bold tag.

So much for being the "old, wise" player here!

Fluff, lack of scum hunting, tonal gutpings, weird unvote and change of tone on BM, weird pressure vote on me, being pretty inactive himself given he is the top wagon

If marashu is town, this guy is mafia trying to anticipate a good position on the ml scenario for tomorrow.

Thank you, Nash! I really appreciate this!

Re: Fluff etc
A lot of those were in RVS and some were direct answers to things. I could give you maybe 3 of them? But I'll have more fluff than that soon, if this is where you draw your lines, BattleMage.

Re: Tonal Gutpings
I mean, that's one way to scumhunt. I used to be way more into gutreads when I started playing. I find them average now, and a good way for scum to hide.

Re: BM unvote
I mean, this is pretty sudden and drastic. I will give you that. What makes you think this comes from scum though? A drastic change in stance often comes from town reevaluating things, or seeing a sudden town motivation behind a slit which had been missed or masked prior to this! Heck, I could point to a game which just wrapped up last week where this happened to a read on me after being deathtunneled for like 6 game days! We were both town, he just came around on it all of a sudden!

Could it be scummy? Maybe. But town are far more likely to reevaluate a slot than scum are and it looks like they had no need to reevaluate BM here.

Re: Weird Vote; Inactive
Their posting is about middle of the road in frequency and being a lead wagin doesn't mean they will suddenly post more as any alignment. And is this a bit of OMGUS too?

They should definitely be arguing for their life and making a case for one of the other players as a counterwagon. It is not the time for them to pressure vote. However would scum not be fighting harder here too?

Like, I don't see any scum motivation in these posts or points.
Do you?

Nope! Nice attempt at setting up lynches though. You just got yourself a light scumlean!

I could point to that same game which just wrapped up where I argued against the first 3 eliminations to no avail! I was town. All 3 were town. I was trying to save them and failed.

I have a bit of a tendancy to white knight people, it is true. But I have no intention of gaining anything peraonally from it, other than saving a townread.

Ninja'd
Ooooo quoting your own post 2 posts later for emphasis! What fun!

You do know that becomes unnecessary filler unless it's needed for a new page or you plan to make it a recurring meme through the game, right?

Meh, you do you I suppose.

This is not to say Mara is a townread here. They are almost entirely null. But I don't see the scumminess it appears thebrest of you do!

Actually, Worcestershire, you posted that pretty quickly to discredit my post without engaging it.

Do you have nothing to say about 764??

Why choose to discredit me instead of replying?

Aw thanks PP!

I guess we're along for this ride together then!

I noticed you aren't voting. What is the reason for that? I know you're V/la so respond when you can. It's just getting a little closer to deadline and we have an El-1 active. I'd think you'd at least be somewhere on the votecount!

(I have read 1 of your posts, and it is quoted here. Forgive me if you've said something about this already)

I repped in like two days ago as the main wagon with a bunch of vanities and a Marashu counter. I haven't read anything prior to my entrance so I'm trying to get a feel for everyone and Marashu is now at H-1.

ISO · Post Post #771 (ISO) » Fri Jul 03, 2020 2:04 am

I have townreads on super and looker, and Marashu was my counter, so probs okay with that going through. Not a fan of Nash's pop in vote though, and I don't know how I feel about Tux and SteakMarinade.

Oof, I can give you slack then! That's never a fun time.

I mean, I appreciate the post by Nash, but I also hope they follow it up with some responses.

Marashu was your CW turned main wagon, eh? This is interesting. I look forward to what the flip might tell us about a lot of players if it does go through.

I'll have to have a look at the other players mentioned (and unmentioned) as I started reading the RVS last night and fell asleep after ~3-5 pages.

Thanks again PP!

Who's SUPP?
Non-mechanical townblocs are suspicious
- Also, I've watched plenty anime, I just don't get using it for a pfp - you're nowhere near like any of those people. Representation's a big thing in my community right now.
