if VP disappears here now that he's off the hot seat it will look pretty bad

I posted...

*Checks notes*

... yesterday.

[VP Baltar]

Also, why say that about me, but not pooky, who I don't think has even posted any content this phase?

[Starbuck]

Busy last few days with work, but I'm here and hi. It's much better coming back to like 6 pages rather than 15.

I'm sorry to be wrong about Noraa. I hope a break serves her well and maybe she takes away some of the constructive feedback from folks here. I think it could be a real benefit to her in the future.

I'd like to elim in this today I think Noraa's wagon was scum infested and taking advantage of her known predisposition to get emotional

Question, am I the only one who has never played with her before?

i'm not challenging anyone rn this thread needs to breathe now that we're finally out of that bs

Agreed. I'd almost say this is a similar format to The Weakest Link where we should plan out the challenges.

GE is still scum y'all.

My read shifted hard on him towards the end of yesterday. I wouldn't mind seeing he and Pooky up again.

Her catchup posts felt a lot like cheering from the sidelines and the way she was all "rah rah Reck makes good points" just *feels* like scum trying to get into my blindspot but it has been quite a hot minute since I've played with her so it could be genuine which is why I haven't really acted on it

I worked 8 days straight, had one day off (Sunday), and am back at it as of Monday till, at least, Saturday. I've been catching up and reading where I can and not actually here in real time, so I can see why you'd feel this way.

agar I literally was saying for days it was four town. Several people scum read me for it.

It is a pretty scummy take, though, and an easy way to shirk any responsibility for yesterday.

[notscience]

Show me where I’m shirking responsibility for it and not chastising Pooky.

I'd take a detailed explanation of this. Your read shifted hard, how and why? Before or after the noraa flip? Sounds like before.

For some reason, I had thought you refrained from placing a vote at all. I was mistaken as I just went back to look at the final vote count.

Definitely before and starting around the time when I finished my catch up. At the beginning of catching up, when I came in the game and read through the atrocious back and forth between he and Noraa, I was townreading him. I could empathize with a lot of what he was saying, especially in the face of someone who was being out of this world unreasonable. It's all laid out in 522.

It was after I said this:

It's interesting because there's a Gamma/Noraa 1v1 and a Pooky/Baltar 1v1 happening. I feel like I've sorted the first, but I'm not sure about the 2nd.

That things seemed to get blown from a molehill into a mountain.

If you reference my 642, I responded to GE's blatant misrep of me in his 603. He said that I wrote you and Pooky off, but if he read, he would have seen that I was interacting with you and actively working on sorting you. Pooky is a whole other mess that I'm still trying to figure out, but Gamma completely ignored everything that I posted to do with you.

Then when I asked for time (because my insane work schedule being what it is), he told me that I had a "strict timetable" via 643 and that:

it's not negotiable that I won't look favorably on you if you fail to deliver before this bubble bursts

I'm not sure what I've done to be talked to like that, but I don't do anything for folks who are rude to me.

I don't think he realizes that I (like many others) work on sorting folks as I read and interact further, so his constant jump on me to provide him what I felt of you and Pooky (when I was working through, at least, one of you) is utter trash. I don't think he truly cared what I had to say and, like his pal Noraa, just ignored anything that I posted because it didn't suit his needs.

[Starbuck]

However, out of the 4 of you, Noraa was still the top of me and that's why my vote stayed.

[xRECKONERx]

i regret voting noraa

[VP Baltar]

i regret voting noraa

I don't see the point of saying this.

Why?

[Untrod Tripod]

my read was wrong but I stand by the vote

[xRECKONERx]

idk i feel bad and she seemed frustrated

im having a very empathetic emotional day ignore me

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

Also, why say that about me, but not pooky, who I don't think has even posted any content this phase?

i thought people were tired of me posting shit and wanted me to shut up tbh

notice the key word "if"

Also, why say that about me, but not pooky, who I don't think has even posted any content this phase?

you just came to mind first because I felt like Pooky brought a ton of attention upon himself already while you were thrust into it

[SirCakez]

tentatively I'd like to challenge blue barracudas depending on what lilith thinks

[SirCakez]

Purple Parrots aren't great either

[VP Baltar]

notice the key word "if"

Today is "saying things that don't need to be said" day or what?

Why would you think I'm going to disappear?

[AGar]

Quote striping like it's 2011 in here because I don't feel like @ing and formatting BBcode rn.

@Agar- anti town more likely comes from town for Pooky

I'm sorry hwat?

agar I literally was saying for days it was four town. Several people scum read me for it.

ANd at first I was frustrated I had no time to think. Then i started towmreadimg all of them and got annoyed

mmm I don't think so

...

Go on?

the four town argument I think is wrong

What benefit do you see to scum angling to push a four-town mindset if there's a scumbag in there?

Imagine misreading the room this bad.

Imagine.

Show me where I’m shirking responsibility for it and not chastising Pooky.

Chastising Pooky about his play isn't not shirking responsibility though. You did fuckall to try and at least move the town towards the player you felt was acting most detrimental, if you truly feel all four in the pool were town, and you've hid behind "Well like three of you would've for sure shot me down because I townread two players because of meta" which is a charmin level defense for not making any real attempt to even sell anyone on Pookie.

[xRECKONERx]

agar are you scum bro

[SirCakez]

notice the key word "if"

i had a strange gut feeling

What benefit do you see to scum angling to push a four-town mindset if there's a scumbag in there?

this seems really obvious no?
plant the idea of scum as town
like scum 101

[notscience]

Agar we had two separate players in the pool talk about auto challenging.

And yeah, I didn’t go “yes this guy is town but he’s an asshole who was anti town so elim him” because I have zero desire to try and confidently shove a miselim. Look at me yesterday- I was originally content to hammer anyone but after I realized it was four town I couldn’t bring myself to hammer her. I lead elims on scum, not on town.

Yes reck, agars scum. He had all of yesterday to address my scumread, which wasn’t a secret, but he’s now writing me off as attacking the low post count players when I’ve explained my thoughts behind the higher post count players.

Know what happens normally when I’m doing stupid Shit? Agar goes “hey notty you’re doing stupid shit”

Here he’s going “nottys attacking low post counts” when I’ve explicitly stated yesterday I’m trying to hold back my post count so you low post counters I don’t normally get to play with can play. And I suppose this is meta and you’re contractually obligated to tell me meta is trash, but my iso makes it fairly clear I want involvement from the lesser post counts and I am listening to and adjusting my reads accordingly from them.

[Untrod Tripod]

after I realized it was four town

alright slow down buddy

[PookyTheMagicalBear]

i am glad Notsci has issued me my IC card for the game.

[AGar]

agar are you scum bro

Nah.

The counter point is it's a pretty low reward play (you might keep one of your scumbuddies out of a yeet pool for a bit, you maybe get a bit of towncred) with a lot of opportunity to backfire if one of them flips scum and is linked back to the person pushing it and even if they aren't they lose any potential gains as soon as that one flips. Unless you think notty's mild attempts to persuade others that all four were town will prevent any of them from ending up back in a challenge. I don't see it as a good play from Notty to try and save a scumbuddy there.

Agar we had two separate players in the pool talk about auto challenging.

What is this specifically in regards to? I'm actually not following here. If this is in response to my "hwat" comment, I want to know why you think Pookie's anti-town actions are a town indicator for him. This doesn't seem to really help with that unless I'm missing something.

And yeah, I didn’t go “yes this guy is town but he’s an asshole who was anti town so elim him” because I have zero desire to try and confidently shove a miselim.

If you think all four are town, and those are the only four up for a yeet, you should be angling to actually get the one you suspect is most dangerous to get yeeted, not hide behind "I lead elims on scum, not town" and "no one would listen to me because meta."

[notscience]

My entire point is I didn’t think any of them would so given the day was a waste I didn’t care. Call it shirking responsibility, so I guess I am doing that, but yesterday was fucking stupid.

I have a very firm belief antitown actions are more commonly done by town as scum is more self concious about it. Given pookys chalenge was antitown as all fuck, I think he’s likely town.
