Open 802: Jungle Oligarchy [Game Over]

[Klyne]

Let's see more votes folks! Doesn't even have to be on Titus! Fight for what you believe in. Start the riot! Make some noise!

"YEEAAAA BOYYYY" - Flava Flav

The time to act is NOW

[Klyne]

Oh shit I just checked votecount

Wow the ORAM wagon is ridiculously bad haha full of hypocrites literally

[iamausername]

Ok, can you summarize your case on Titus?

Sure one sec

Next post

uh so

this post was (eventually) followed by a series of incoherent rants containing nothing that could possibly constitute a case on Titus

and then clidd unvoted Klyne and voted Titus?

is anyone else baffled by this turn of events

[Klyne]

I already gave my reasoning like 6-7 pages ago and for someone you're apparently scumreading you sure didn't give a rat's ass of figuring that out

Next question

[Klyne]

ORAM (4): Battle Mage, DeasVail, iamausername, The Bulge
Klyne (3): Titus, Taly, clidd
Titus (2): Klyne, MURDERCAT
Taly (1): PlusJOYED
Battle Mage (1): ORAM
Klick (1): Marashu

BM hyprocrite scum now replacing, DV ineffectual ? near replacement, iamausername hypocrite, The Bulge replacement who saw how boring the game was and gave up

Great wagon, full of star players

[Umlaut]

VP Baltar replaces ORAM.

[VP Baltar]

What up y'all! Looking like you need some help, so here I YAM

[VP Baltar]

Reading the game now

[clidd]

Hum.

[clidd]

And the scumcase summary on Titus, is it still going to happen?

[VP Baltar]

And the scumcase summary on Titus, is it still going to happen?

Is this directed at me?

[The Bulge]

only thing I gave up on is rereading last night. this one's got a weird pace but it will probably suit my schedule/playstyle well once I feel immersed, it's just... hard to get to that point in this gamestate lol. sorry mod i promise i'll be a good replacement

[The Bulge]

mcat i see your questions but tbh I barely remember anything about the titus wagon. gimme a bit

[clidd]

And the scumcase summary on Titus, is it still going to happen?

Is this directed at me?

It was to Klyne.

[clidd]

I'm slowly going back to reconsidering Titus' wagon, but I need Klyne to answer that. I need to understand his case against Titus, preferably in a single post (summed up).

[VP Baltar]

Halfway update:

Y'all realize Titus and Marashu are scum together, right? They both defended each other as town with like zero coherent reasoning at all in the very early pages of the game. I'd maybe even guess werewolves since I'd suspect that pair to be highly defense of each other if they have any hope of winning the game.

Klick and Klyne are my strongest townreads based on me vibing with the things they say. Klick early pages and in analysis of the Taly wagon, Klyne more pages 5-9 when he's busting up Marashu & Titus with zero fucks given.

clidd is probably clueless town based on early impressions.

[clidd]

Well first you have to decide how I'm still scummy for tone

I've decided that already. Were you intending to ask a different question?

I did catch that. It doesn't change the fact you're pushing everyone who posted against you. It's OMGUS in its simple form.

@Clidd, I take off later. Also, my personality has changed since my separation/divorce. It's been almost a year since it's got final. I'm a much more cooperative player IMO. But events like that change people. So any meta pre-2019 is just outdated.

Well, sorry for asking. I hope you feel better now.

Looking back, I remember that I started to detect Titus towny "sparks" after this interaction, which was also when I did a re-read and observe Titus' interactions with other slots.

I'm guessing that maybe I unconsciously wanted Titus to be town in this game and maybe I wasn't really evaluating her from a neutral point of view. Not sure if that's confbias, but it should be close by definition.

reading again rn and I agree with all of this except the last line. what gives you that impression? I agree clidd is prob town but where are you getting 'clueless' aside from the marashu tl?

idk. he just says stuff that kind of is plodding along and a bit directionless, plus seems easily swayed by others' opinions?

The Marashu town read is definitely a big factor. Maybe this changes in the coming pages.

(I'll admit I'm shooting from the hip a bit as I go.)

[VP Baltar]

TOWN
Titus
Marashu
MURDERCAT

lol wtf is this Klick

[The Bulge]

gut impression on your own slot? not asking you to analyze or justify anything they posted but if you replaced into a different slot what would your gut say.

[VP Baltar]

Just did my morning catch-up, but a quick question for Taly - I'd like to know your take on ORAM.

Yo, this is whack!

Titus starts pushing ORAM, then here comes Marashu trying to drum up support from other players? Get out of here with that nonsense.

[VP Baltar]

That's hard because I know my alignment?

Like it was probably fair to criticize ORAM from not contribing much, but that's NAI. His unvote of Titus was kind of a turd, but then he poked BattleMage, which I would probably interpret as protown from an outside perspective given the likely skill disadvantage ORAM would be at in that fight.

I'll be curious to see how an apparent wagon formed on him. (I haven't looked at the current vote count, so no idea if I still have votes on me or not.)

[VP Baltar]

which is why i asked you about scum-murder

FWIW no one, including me, knows what scum murder looks like because I haven't gotten to play it since I've been back

when did you come back and how many games have you played?

[The Bulge]

That's hard because I know my alignment?

that's the idea
