Open 794 Pick Your Power X/Y (finished)

[Umlaut]

Yes but there's obviously a bandwagon competition going on rn.

Are you purposefully ignoring that, or just accidentally?

Yes I am obviously aware of it. Do you think I'm obligated to vote Marquis because I'm the other leading wagon at the moment?

[Umlaut]

I'm having a somewhat childish stubborn "You can't make me vote Marquis" reaction just because I dislike the suggestion that I'm

supposed

to, even though I would be happy to vote them on the merits if not for that pressure.

I'll get over myself and

VOTE: Marquis

(L-1)

(Or at least I'll make the vote and internally grumble about it and try to get over myself later)

It’s not that you’re supposed to, and tbh I wouldn’t care if you said “this is dumb and I’m not participating”

What DID catch my attention is you asking to be bribed in a way that ignores that tw is in the marquis/umlaut mindset

IDK I’m still thinking about it not sure really what it means

Like who did you think tw would bribe you to vote?

[the worst]

finally, the first wagon battle.

umlaut vs. marquis

an intriguing contest. lets view their stats;

UMLAUT

- number pick - #21
- draft position - 3rd
- posting frequency - 31/744
- avatar cuteness - 8/10

MARQUIS

- number pick - #1
- draft position - 4th
- posting frequency - 9/744
- avatar cuteness - 9/10

~~

the town has narrowed things to two of the top four picks. both choices have remarkably similar cuteness and posting frequency, though you'd have to say umlaut edges marquis on content. are either of them actually scum? hard to say. number analysis views both these slots in the "hot zone™", but we perhaps haven't seen enough behaviourally to make this a slam dunk execution. role claims are looming to be a HUGE factor in determining which way this one will fall.

lets go to expert field commentator the worst for his thoughts.

oh I missed this and I love it

I saw marquis picking on some primary schoolers in the mall the other day

[the worst]

Somewhat caught up

Umlauts budding attempt wrt being bribed to vote doesn't make me wanna unvote

I definitely wasn't budding.

I don't really see how it's buddying, either. TW, are you feeling especially warm and buddy-like toward me after that comment?

I'm explicitly cold and unfriendly as a principle.

Hot take I think I’d substitute DDL for Hoopla and throw in username.

Hoopla is pretty NAI imo

I'm about here but rapidly Dying of Anxiety over username and I think you're town still
also word is somewhere in my town-to-wouldn't-murder list

I wasn't gonna bribe umlaut, I was asking the question to see whether word would bite at the request to shift to another wagon. he didn't really give me anything but I like him anyway & don't really feel like the umlaut vote was fake.

It was a dumb joke and I thought kind of an obvious one.

[Hoopla]

Clarify “hot zone”.

a mysterious blend of the different numerical forces underpinning our game.

believe me, these puppies are hot!

[Hoopla]

I saw marquis picking on some primary schoolers in the mall the other day

he does have that look about him, doesn't he?

@marquis

CLAIM TIME!

[Clover Ebi]

I still dislike this but it might just be my style of play then anything. I don't plan on hammering though!

Yes. It was obvious that you were making a joke. I remind you that this is also mafia, and a joke is not always a joke and also jokes are suspicious.

This reads phony to me.

It seems like you're taking a position against the Marquis wagon but not one that would actually dissuade anyone from hammering it.

Yes that is because it's exactly what I'm doing. What's wrong with that?

I don't feel like the evidence on this wagon is really enough where I'd be fine D1 executing them in such little time or posts to go off of. Even if I do understand the reasoning for why the wagon exists.

[iamausername]

Clover, why are you voting DrD?

you said you wanted to wait to see if anyone else saw what you saw. at this point, it seems apparent that nobody saw it. could you tell us what it is?
