Mini 2206 - Deja Vu: Perpetual MELO IV - END!

[The Bulge]

sorry I realized I was very late for a D&D session

[fferyllt]

Momrangal and Venus Fly Trap have been prodded.

NotScience is v/la until May 6.

[borkjerfkin]

there are 4 scum here

who the fuck are they voting for

[Kismet]

there are 4 scum here

who the fuck are they voting for

ok it was bound to happen

[Kismet]

Not_Mafia (4): Disaster Cartel, SirCakez, Momrangal, Iverson
The Bulge (3): Venus Fly Trap, notscience, Infinity 324

this is my conundrum: my townreads are all voting the same way

last time this happened scum did not flip

nobody seems to give that much of a shit about it

it's not even that scum isn't voting, just nothing is moving except bulge's move against infinity

[Kismet]

Disaster Cartel, SirCakez, Momrangal, Iverson

are people in this list scumreading each other?
are you worried this wagon is on town?
talk to me

[Kismet]

bulge what is your stance on NM at this moment?
NM same Q to you on bulge

[Kismet]

it is exceedingly weird that neither of you has any opinion on the validity of the competing wagon

[Iverson]

I have considered the wagon makeup, but I think a combination of scum having incentive to bus and be off townwagons in conjunction with simply not knowing anyone's alignment to begin with has me worrying less. The questions I have, like why notscience seems to want to flip Bulge over NM, are more on that wagon. I do feel better about notsci but eh.

Like say I'm right and my Infinity townlean is correct. Bulge might be a marginally better vote than NM? If Infinity is scum I am definitely not touching this Bulge wagon atm. I worked this example out here for the first time, it was just a vague idea in my head of "idfk" rather than anything concrete

Like when my only strong TR isn't voting I personally am not going to be very concerned about wagon makeup even though two townleans gave me pause

[Venus Fly Trap]

ahhhhh sorry guys - skitter is MIA and I was hoping to catch up with her but I have no idea where she is, I’m on mobile for the rest of the weekend and when I get back I basically am going straight back to working-til-brain-hurts mode irl, so for the foreseeable future I have close to zero chance of catching up fully but will try to be around as much as possible

@bork scum are probably bussing, right? I think NM is probably more likely to flip scum than bulge in a vacuum but I also think most of the people on the NM wagon are scum (DC/Cakes/Momrangal all towards the bottom of my reads). Again, I feel like scum wanted to bus yesterday and I still think they do today, it’s the only way to get rid of you. Should we elim NM anyway just so we get the point? That feels like an awful trade to make. I’ll vote NM but I think I’d rather vote one of the people on NM’s wagon instead, but you seem to be townreading all of them to varying degrees iirc.

re: mena, yes, skitter is probably better at reading him than I am. I’m still hung up on his reaction to me and why I called out his behavior in the first place which reminded me of panic room. I think my view is probably skewed by personal feelings though - so if skitter has expressed a townread then I’m okay leaving him for today at least. the part you linked is fine I guess, tbh I don’t have extensive meta on him to know what he is and isn’t capable of faking as scum

re: mara, yes I think you’re wrong on her

re: initial townbloc, if you’re wrong on anyone then I think it would be infinity, if the rest of my reads are any good

are you townreading bulge? if no, what are your misgivings about that wagon?

[SirCakez]

Peta didn't want to point to examples because the townies were all transparently town and he didn't want to sow paranoia on a buddy.

my interpretation of this line is "peta didn't want to shake things up too much because the actual townies in the bloc were all transparently so, and he didn't want to risk blowing his partner's deep cover"

it doesn't make sense to say this at all if infinity doesn't think there is a partner in that bloc, regardless of any alternate theories she has given since then for why peta might have done that.

This makes sense to me actually. I think Bulge makes more sense here than Infinity.

[SirCakez]

I think scum are probably bussing (DC or Mom?) but I don't care enough about it, I want to see scum flipped

[SirCakez]

I don't like the bulge wagon

[notscience]

I’ll vote either and am following Bork

But unsubstantiated shade on both of the wagons while not suggesting an alternative is lolsy

[notscience]

Also (insert holiday here) is this week so I’m preparing at work for it. I’ll be very LA.

[Venus Fly Trap]

what is this in response to?

Not_Mafia has been prodded.

[Iverson]

I am excited for the deluge of content that will surely result

I like the NM wagon I'm not shading both. I just think there are probably scum on board.
