It's recent enough for me to have not forgotten. In another universe I was the greatest Tracker in history, that game.

Mini, i distinctly remember your meta as scum is to do literally nothing.

Well that was a very long time ago Im not scum here haha

Very long time ago? Isn't it just like 1 month since the end of Newbie 2037?

Feels like a long time ago lol

You don't have to analyze every post what I try to do is keep track of main events that are happening.

What are we classing as main events so far?

[NoPowerOverMe]

Miller claim and MM and Andres wagons

[Mizzytastic]

Doing something a bit different, this VC and the next one I do will have two words that share a common ancestor.

guest (n.)

Old English

gæst

,

giest

(Anglian

gest

) "an accidental guest, a chance comer, a stranger," from Proto-Germanic

*gastiz

(source also of Old Frisian

jest

, Dutch

gast

, German

Gast

, Gothic

gasts

"guest," originally "stranger"), from PIE root

*ghos-ti-

"stranger, guest, host" (source also of Latin

hostis

, in earlier use "a stranger," in classical use "an enemy"); the root sense, according to Watkins, probably is "someone with whom one has reciprocal duties of hospitality."

Spelling evolution influenced by Old Norse cognate

gestr

(the usual sound changes from the Old English word would have yielded Modern English

*yest

). Meaning "person entertained for pay" (at an inn, etc.) is from late 13c. Old English also had

cuma

"stranger, guest," literally "a comer." Phrase

be my guest

in the sense of "go right ahead" first recorded 1955.

With 20 players alive, it takes 11 votes to achieve an elimination.

Day 1 will end in (expired on 2021-01-16 23:15:00).

Currently I'm waiting on a confirmation for a replacement for samantha97. Other than that the only player still unconfirmed is PrimeFighter.

[Gamma Emerald]

I clarified in my very next post that I was just being over the top and didn’t fully mean that (mostly just trying to create discussion and be funny). But I guess I have to repeat myself - it’s not the Towniest Miller claim ever, and I will not be relying on it to make a judgment on alignment either way.

Okay

[Gamma Emerald]

Andres seems like town
I’m not a fan of some of the things Vaxkiller seems to be taking interest in, it seems frivolous and selective?

Miller claim and MM and Andres wagons

After Mini's posts I am undeterred.

What makes you think that Scum would post that they have so much trouble keeping up with the pace of the game multiple times? Just curious.

[Andresvmb]

^that’s for BBmolla.

[Andresvmb]

Oh are you a tryhard Andre.
Maybe ur town then.

I guess? I try to be careful about my assessments. I get stuff wrong all the time of course who doesn’t. But I do like to read every post carefully and consider the view point.

[Andresvmb]

I like both the MM and Andres wagons.

This is the post I meant to quote.

@NPOM, just level with me. Are you Scum here?

[NorwegianboyEE]

I'm sure he'll say yes.

[Rannygazoo]

What do u think of the mini wagon.

5 votes *sounds* like a lot, but it’s E-6.

Most of the votes are meta, and that makes me go meh because it’s impossible to verify or refute (or rather, I’m not going to go back and read their old games). For instance, I think it was EE who said mini’s scum meta is to do very little? That could be a useful insight, or it could be an excuse to push a wagon.

Anyway, it’s not even halfway there, so I’m going to let it play out and see if anything good comes up.

[Nero Cain]

ok so y is mini not a good wagon?

[Rannygazoo]

The wagon is fine. Are you trying to talk me into switching my vote?

They’re not struggling that much considering their fluffposting replying to posts

[Gamma Emerald]

VOTE: DGB
She vented

[Nero Cain]

as of right now I think mini is scum and if you are town then yes I think you should vote there but its your vote and you can do w/e u want. My question was more along the lines of...

like u said "and see if anything good comes up."

implying that mini wasn't a good wagon.

[NoPowerOverMe]

Why do you think I am scum?

[Rannygazoo]

NPOM is unreadable. If any investigative role out there wants to check them tonight, don’t let me stop you.

[Andresvmb]

Why do you think I am scum?

Well for one you ignored my question about momrangal. And you like my wagon for undisclosed reasons.

Last time we played, I could understand your POV. And you seemed more careful. Here you aren’t really being careful. I mean, you threw out a completely emotional reason to begin questioning my slot (based on literally faulty logic), and your focus seems overly narrow.

Whatever, just an early take. Some folks are already trying to sideline you by calling your approach superficial and what not. There’s probably something there, but you haven’t questioned it much.

I’m just trying to think if the behavior is Scum trying to figure out how to enter the game (and thinks that making a comment about the pace will make them look Townie?), or Town that hasn’t found the time to read what’s going on yet and is just putting that out there.

Why not wait to see instead of just throwing out what we might all be thinking.

If we’re all thinking it, then stating it doesn’t make a big difference. Except that it does increase the pressure on them to actually contribute.
