In post 3544, Morning Tweet wrote:Doesn't come off as terribly pre-planned. What am I missing that suggests the Elements bus was planned out for a while? Puppy trying to give the slot a chance and voting for Hectic would suggest to me that the early scumread was somewhat of a gambit. This is a terrible place for scum and they'd like to avoid it -- if they can get Not!Elements killed, thatd be great.
i agree with you and i agree the bus was more likely a gambit to get good interactions after Puppy left than an organized bus on a bad slot.
and i hate how Pooky talks about his vote and makes it out to be evidence.
also i like your questions. i can't imagine you being scum Tweet, i juet cannot

Do you hate how Hectic talks about my vote and claims its evidence that I'm scum then?

me/catboi live to see the other suffer

if we succeed, great, but the other failing is what is truly more important.

the personal success is the icing on the cake of the other failing, rather than the reverse.

like literally the progression between us this game was hilarious and stereotypical, we had parallel reads that were both completely unjustified ass, each called the other out for them with the same language, and then cat took personal offense when I did it to him and we started slapfighting
Spoiler: catboi/Prism exchange in a nutshell
Prism: I think catboi is town for [vague bullshit for what is obviously gut]
catboi: "This read on me doesn't make a lot of sense. (*´ω`*)"
Prism: Well [more vague bullshit to justify what is obviously gut]
catboi: Fair enough I guess

catboi: I think Prism is town for [vague bullshit for what is obviously gut]
Prism: "Cat read makes no sense past the "gut" point"
catboi: WELL MAYBE I JUST SHOULDN'T EVEN TRY AT ALL THEN IF YOU'RE JUST GONNA SHOOT ME DOWN
Prism: bruh chill it's not that big of a deal
catboi: THEY'RE SETTING ME UP MAN
Prism: OH DOES BABY WANT HIS BOTTLE WAH

Like I get to make fun of him here but what made this so hilarious is that we ABSOLUTELY could have swapped places

we could kill everyone except you, me, Tanner, and Lav if u want (´・ω・`)

Scum's gotta be in Pooky/Chara/Hectic. definitely.

Why do you think Chara/Puppy/Element's master plan is to have both of them bus Elements early? That almost single-handedly causes them to lose. Maybe they thought the slot would recover but it rly didnt

So I'm talking specifically about pages 6/7, not 4/5 actually. The goal here wouldn't have been to fight Elements, the goal here would have been to just interact early and often to distance.

This is the sequence I'm referring to, especially posts 152, 155, 160, and 161:

damn. how can scum compete with this?

chara, what do you think of pooky? tanner? i played a game once with tanner where iw as technically scum, so i kind of think he sounds like that game, but i think my light tr is also half wanting him to be town so we can play town together as an apology. pooky just gives off good vibes. idk, it's kind of early still in day to have any good reads, but i'm bored with setup spec and i want to talk about something else

oh, you're my favourite.

listen. Hectic, Prism, and i played the previous version of this game. Hectic was spared early so he didn't suffer with us. i was scum, so i was suffering for an entirely different reason, but our scumteam was literally leaning on the apathy and frustration that came midgame as town struggled with no elimination flips.

nothing but if you make a scumcase i'll sheep it. why do you scumread him? i def don't agree w/ the pro-spare argument, i'm trying to decide if arguing it is inherently scummy (this is on my mind wrt hectic too.) it's probably too extreme to just assume it has to be bad faith right?
In post 156, CantHateAPuppy wrote:alternatively, elements could do something really awesome and we could realign into the cute animal avatar townblock alliance supreme
In post 158, Chara wrote:Tanner's above null for now. i don't want to put a lot of weight in where he falls on the spare/fight debate. i have concrete thoughts on this but i want Tanner back in the thread first, so you can ask me again after that happens.

catboi also gets that sweet and soft earlygame TR for the Puppy vote (that i disagree with) and for the setup math (that is really very NAI).
so what i mean is catboi gets the earlygame TR for no real reason besides i say so.

first quoted post is what pinged. i mentioned i thought it was likely a joke but the lackadaisical attitude is what's rubbing me the wrong way. there's a desire to spare but no
determination
to find that town to spare, yet.

Okay reading on my phone while I ate, up through page like 15

I'm pretty sure this game just ended if we vote Chara lmao. I have two/three points I've always been skeptical of but I'm about ready to hard call bullshit.

The scum theater I quoted above is so bad that it's hilarious given how strong individually Chara/Puppy played, that sequence was about as convincing as an elementary school play.
