Open 794 Pick Your Power X/Y (finished)

i kinda think they did?

and if not, what are these shady circumstances SS speaks of?

We don't know at which point Marquis last checked the thread; they could have been aware of the pressure, or they could not have. The disappearance under pressure is not assured to be a coincidence, which is part of what makes it shady, but the other part is just that Marquis clearly expressed an intent to get more involved in the game-- and they clearly did not follow through on that intent. So either something drastic happened and they completely forgot about the game, or it was an empty promise and they were just trying to avoid suspicion.

So you think it's either RL related, or game pressure. How do you come to a *shady* conclusion then, and not an NAI-conclusion?

[Iconeum]

sounds very… shady… if you ask me

[Something_Smart]

I'm thinking in particular of 682. It sure seems when reading that post that Marquis is acting as though they expect they have a high chance to actually return to the game and close-read it. So either they were town and really expected to get engaged and were wrong, or they were scum and really expected to get engaged and were wrong, or they were scum and just wanted to say something so they didn't appear useless.

ss is clearly inside my head.

also like. their posting presents to me as overly-focused on optics in a way that feels performative. i know it's like a whatever but i can't get over how shitty those opening posts are. lol.

[Iconeum]

ok that makes sense

[the worst]

i'm still caught up on how phoney 127/128/129 is
like
45 seconds
they would've spent what like 10 seconds? actually typing those words
are you telling me
a town vig
goes from like
"hi *vote*"
to "wow fuck this game is boring"
in like 30 seconds
then comes back 30 seconds later
with the l-1 gypyx thing

town has maybe gone "hmm this game isn't spicy yet i'll do something to spice it up" which i don't really buy given how quickly the posts were made and the fact they didn't seem interested enough to come back and assess their gambit

or it's scum who is a pretty damn valid power role
wants to slide by
so makes some phony ass posts that look good @ surface value
then exits for as long as possible



am i drunk or

[the worst]

actually our leading wagons are s/s bang there you go easy game

[Iconeum]

i can see this thinking coming from town worst

[the worst]

you can see mad ravings coming from town!worst??? is that what you're saying huh dragon????

[the worst]

because you'd be correct!!!!

[Iconeum]

you can see mad ravings coming from town!worst??? is that what you're saying huh dragon????

actually more like the thoughts process, roughtly sketched, where a supposed town 1-shot vig slot wouldn't be thinking this game is so boring and ends up leaving with absolutely nothing done.

[the worst]

i don't doubt the vig claim i just don't think marquis was remotely invested in working out who to do the pew pew to

[DrDolittle]

honestly I'm not seeing it tw -- like I understand the high level intuition behind your logic, but it could also just be that he didn't think the first 5 pages produced anything productive?

[DrDolittle]

im much more invested in the gypxy wagon

[the worst]

which he magically divined in 30 seconds cool

[the worst]

fuck it
claims for the claim god
VOTE: Gypyx

[DrDolittle]

like I think gypxy has significant equity to be scum here, and flipping this slot gives me an added bonus of helping solve ico, and what derailed the wagon earlier on?
or am I being crazy here

[DrDolittle]

I agree with ico that posts before 88 is scummy, but I'm far more concerned about gypxy literally just not addressing the game on their pop in. This is not town behavior. It's new-scum caught in the spotlight and not knowing what to do.

[the worst]

i don't disagree, i think they're both scum <:

[the worst]

if you feel stronger about scum!gypyx, then i'll sheep u and see what happens.
how the turntables, dear doctor.

[DrDolittle]

usually my reads flop a lot but i feel pretty consistent about this one

[Iconeum]

VOTE: gypyx

not claimhunting

i want this flipped

[Gypyx]

I claim mafia goon, there are no cc's, unvote this
