Open 802: Jungle Oligarchy [Game Over]

[VP Baltar]

VOTE: ORAM

actually I think I'm better off here for the time being

You dirty rat.

[The Bulge]

i was going to tell you

[VP Baltar]

Like, the problem with clidd is that he reads based upon personality rather than play in the game. It reads genuine and towny, but not really a good way to find scum.

[The Bulge]

Bulge what are your thoughts on Titus wagon?

yours and clidd's votes look the strangest timing-wise but I have a decent town read on both of you. ORAM's vote doesn't really count here. Titus is probably scum but that in itself doesn't say a lot about her wagon comp in multiball. did you have something specific you wanted me to look at? I'm more interested in how/why the wagon died.

[VP Baltar]

Oh shit I just checked votecount

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

Look at this mother just towning it up.

[VP Baltar]

I'm caught up.

VOTE: Titus

Will also vote Marashu into the next universe. LET'S DO THISSSS.

[VP Baltar]

Townreads (in no order):

Murdercat
clidd
Klick
Klyne

Scum:
Marashu
Titus


Everyone else is fairly neutral, but I'd probably yeet Taly out of that pool because his posting style makes my eyes glaze over and bleed.

[VP Baltar]

ok, signing off. See you all later

VOTE SCUM TITUS AND LET'S GET A FLIP TO MOVE THIS GAME FORWARD

[The Bulge]

Re: The Bulge, the read is not based on meta. I actually haven’t played a mafia game with Bulge in a very long time. I thought that the in-thread posts felt uninspired and like scum going through the motions. I am still processing the response to my post, but I’m weighing up the possibility that it was scum trying to come up with an apparently laid back response.

with murdercat and clidd both putting some kind of expectation on my catchup, are these the "motions" you think I'd go through as scum? "scum going through the motions" I think implies a certain degree of appealing to others, and definitely implies going by the book, so I'm not sure what you're really seeing here.

[The Bulge]

I just realized Marashu repped out as well uh

[The Bulge]

VP with the megamindmeld

UNVOTE:

[VP Baltar]

Y'all realize Titus and Marashu are scum together, right?

Backing this up with posts, here are my notes where my gut was screaming scum:

Marashu defending for Titus for no reason. 97.

Titus defending for Marashu post. 175.

[The Bulge]

I think I figured out what about Klick's posts has been bugginig me. Klick keeps drawing attention to how there's a large number of scum in this game, either directly or indirectly. (post 38 directly but also implied in 42 by how there's bound to be scum on the early wagon but also town on the early wagon, and in 229 with a line of how there must be scum even if Klick thinks they are towny). This bothers me because it's shifting focus away from reading players.

Klick's townread of me I think comes out of nowhere - or rather, it seems to have shifted after more people have expressed townleans on me. I'd like to know what that thing I did was that changed your mind. And wait, why is Klyne in your townish section?

VOTE: Klick

fwiw I don't think this is at all a fair assessment of Klick's mentioning the number of living scum, it was in no way at all shifting focus from anything. but at this point my post is addressed to the wind

[VP Baltar]

I just realized Marashu repped out as well uh

we could just yeet the fuck out of him and then we don't have to wait. Always an option.

[MURDERCAT]

Skimmed up, quick thoughts
I like that username is actually doing things in 417.
Klyne still seems town to me and I appreciate the call to action.
VP is actually doing stuff which is good. Of Mara and Titus I feel worse about Titus. In general I like VP's reads.
Clidd is continuing to be kind of fence sitty but I've liked his interactions with me this game.
445 is kind of a nothing question. in RE to 453 I kinda just want you to do .. anything? to get the game going. VP is doing that nicely now.

[The Bulge]

im down to vote just about anyone
tbh without claims and multiball im down to kill just about anyone so we can start getting some actual info. Don't wanna kill jackson, murder, klyne or iamusername I tr them.

You do realize how contradictory this is right?

Third time I am asking

.

This is also a really really weird non-contradiction to latch onto so aggressively. someone said something about titus struggling to produce content as scum yes?

if he's next in queue to be replaced, I'm down to run a wagon up in waiting

[MURDERCAT]

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

Check my sig, everything from Open 795 on is recent. I came back around September. I have 8 completed games since then.

[The Bulge]

That fake E-1 (and the follow-up post) felt pretty genuine.

If you're not just defending Titus as a partner here's how I see it
--

That fake E-1 is

precisely

what started my distaste of Titus. That's surface level baiting, an attribution to someone lesser experienced who think being cheeky about RVS votes could catch scum. Titus in her entire fucking life would never ever think that would work, the experience speaks for itself

another under-appreciated post

[MURDERCAT]

Bulge would you rather do Titus or Mara? Do you have a strong preference either way?

[The Bulge]

Titus would make the most sense to yeet today imo

[The Bulge]

and iirc she is only vla, presumably not flaking

[The Bulge]

VOTE: Titus yea

[MURDERCAT]

mmmmk
