I'm going to take a bit of a break, hopefully let bork answer that+give feedback on Spiffeh ~if he wants~ but I know he was trying to get away from that topic, and then hopefully work through his ISO with that response in mind.

well,
I want to preface this w/ me deliberately stating I wanted to throw this out the window for today, but:

DGB is dead
Titus I think I've explained
BM I've had a couple of recent posts on that i think felt town, and I think was a really good post.
Spiffeh, eh, Spiffeh is not getting elimed today and I'm trying not to let my personal annoyances cloud reality with it. I don't know what Spiffeh is.
I could probably vote Dunn still.

Mostly though I think what Mathblade says is true and that Cakez gives us more info than most slots and most of my early game read there is tonal which probably should be reexamined day3+

I find it surprising that you're buying into the info argument to the extent that your vote is there without any sort of review of his qualitative play. Your answer here explains why you've reconsidered a few others but says nothing about Cakez at all.

Can you elaborate on this?

BM has been tonally on point all game, and this one is no exception, but substantively I want to know what screams town to you in this post. Responding to my post was greatly appreciated but it's very, very free as scum, and leaving incentives for both alignments was intentional on my end.

I don't really have a lot to say about Cakez. His play is sensibly engaging but other than his kinda push on pooky there's not really a lot of substance to it?
this is the sort of slot i'd probably have left till later normally.

But otherwise I'm not really sure what else to do other than flashwagon Dunn

I know that you may not have
time
to do other things but acting like there's no option but to just go "eh wagon somebody" over challenging yourself to dig deeper and find what you're missing is really uninspired.

If you don't have time to reread, it's okay, just say so, but right now it looks like you just have 0 drive to win or actively solve regardless of what you are atm.

In post 3656, Battle Mage wrote:Meta-wise, it feels more like scum mathblade, but I dunno. feels like he's been the voice of reason more often lately.
This is what screamed to me as town. I think Mathblade is town, and I think if BM were scum there are enough people in the game that want Math gone still that you can make basically any other stance than this and be better off.
Instead this seems like conscientious objection to a read he's had all game with the salient fact that Math is here, being a leader, pretty much all the time, and the overpowering likely reason for that is that he's town

I object!

I am OD’d on math.
Ridiculous would be better than insane as shaming mental illness shouldn’t be an attack on someone.
And lastly not scum.

But I mean if you wanna argue I am scum after saving your miselim and forcing a PoE that very likely will net a scum. You can it’s just ridiculous.

Thank you.

How did math almost get mod killed for challenging the rules in his scum PT/Whining about them?
At worst we would have proceeded with the game knowing that the game was unintentionally bastard and if anyone wanted to replace out, nobody was stopping them.

He was not shaming mental illness math. /: Accusing someone of being insane is not the same as accusing them of being in psychosis or having a symptom of being delusion or...Well this isn't an important discussion for this game so nevermind.

yea when i say crazy/insane/similar terms I mean in terms of the wildness / boldness / absolute recklessness/daring of the play.

I mean it as a term of affection/appreciation/admiration

I am not talking about mental illness I promise.

Can we like not?

I get it.

If you’re town you’re hopelessly tunnelled on me.
If you’re scum you need me gone because my PoE is scum.

Can we like just move on?

I am trying to respect people who say you’re town but you’re really making it hard.

As an Aspie I take rules literally. I really really don’t want to go down here right now but you’re pissing me off.
