Rip Day 1 LLD Dream-wagon.

To be fair, I was never expecting it to happen over Cakez anyway.
it was never happening period but let me get it on the record: i'm not really sure what LLD's doing this game, but it's a very easy way to play as scum, i've done it before, the naked vote minimal content thing. might be choosing not to project towniness, i don't know. but certainly don't see the townreads there
I'm literally doing nothing, and I don't particularly care much if you wagon me. You're not gonna get a reaction, if I die, I die.

This is a large theme that has spouted 100+ pages in less than 2 days of being open and I'm just not gonna be able to keep up with that. I'm applying weird, unique pressures onto people where I can to keep current and get general personal reads because I really don't care.

If you let me live until a point where the game is less populated, I can use those to solve. If you don't, I'll be free from this hell on earth factory.

I thought when we cultivated a playerlist of people who know how to play this fucking game we'd also avoid doing the scum win through apathy easy mode nonsense, but apparently we're posting 100 pages and leaving people who can't and don't regularly check threads in the dust.

I'm doing my own thing. I don't care if I die. I'll say and vote whatever I feel like to create whatever reactions I want.

If you think I'm scum, go right ahead. If you're paranoid, I don't care.

But if you think I've been doing nothing, you also need to read my posts closer.

And if you think I'm being low effort, you're absolutely right, for the wrong reasons.

So do as you wilt.

beeboy has been lurky in most games recently, so I don't want to read him based off of that. It's not really about whether I agree with them to me(he could be right on both after all), it's just that I feel like it makes sense as a town approach from him. If he was scum, I don't really think he would be so lost(maybe).
bush tells me him being a lost lurksack is not abnormal for him as scum. he doesn't like playing it and can't summon the energy to keep up.

Personally, I'm still leaning town. But then, I have no idea what a scum-FL even looks like. It just kind of reminds me of Illicit April I guess. The LLD wagon attempt is an exercise in futility,
you could run over LLD with a steamroller and she wouldn't feel pressure

I don't really get the sense he's trying to build a narrative or anything based off what he's doing. Mostly just agent of chaos as per usual.

I was also told to tell you strange agrees when she's not cheerily talking to a brick with a picture of Nacho on it in the corner.

I know he lurked in the Undertale game, but he did similarly in the Betrayal game as town.

Why is claiming sub optimal?
Either select drivers should claim so we can get some amount of actions going through or we should full claim and organize the largest amount of actions possible.

Let's say hypothetically me and firebringer agree to connect up. Then there is a 50% chance we share the same trait as a driver/blade and we do nothing.
Idk do you think scum have such strong anti claim tools we should just throw away actions? :|
Because scum almost certainly have a role that states something like "You can pick a player and if they are a blade XYZ SUPERBAD STUFF HAPPENZ"

I've talked a lot about them. May I ask what piques your interest with these two before I continue further? I have no issue with reiterating my thoughts.
Since you're an outside perspective tell me why you think I'm a viable elim[./quote]

I've been sitting here and mostly thinking that this game just being really long and arduous is just how it's going to be, but reality seeps in and I realize that is not what I want. The hyperposting is not particularily boding well for me either, I'm just doing it so I don't fall behind. I think the more we continue to do this the more lurkscum exists in the background, which can be bad especially if town is on the wrong track. If I am lead to believe they are and you're just dying as a miselim, then I would want to sort things out and have a better picture instead of letting the wagon go through with nobody being accountable. My last game I played as town is becoming eerily similar where D1 is this huge, incoherent mess of splintering thoughts and then the thread slowly loses traction and nobody actually wants to dig through D1 to figure out what the fuck happened.

I don't believe that you believed it, Muffin man.

It doesn't matter though, Nacho decided to come in after 70 pages of catchup and shit on it so I already wrote your vote off as lost to the void. Your perfect scum-voting record dies this game. This wagon.
