Micro 1029: 8-Ball (but with Wolves) Game Over

[Bingle]

Given context, have you come to conclusions?

Not really? It seems like he's mostly just missed/ignored questions, not dodged them.

He’s missed/ignored EVERY question. To the extent that it’s harder to find examples of duck answering a question than skipping it.

And it’s definitely intentional: one of the questions I quoted was him quoting a question he ignored. He later ignored questions about that post. And I spent a literal day phase calling him out on this which resulted in him OMGUS-ing me but voting Wisdom.

If there’s anything Moore obviously described as dodging I haven’t seen it. Duck has been open wolfing.

[Bingle]

Once is accident. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.

25 pages worth is just the worst.

[Something_Smart]

Confusing and irritating as in I was intentionally ignoring Wisdom in order to elim him easier or whatever reason, or simply confusing and irritating with no further conclusion

The latter.

Ok let's recap

well we now know that I didn't think to ask Wisdom to elaborate on his worst read yesterday, but today I'm interested in it

Is it because I was too busy thinking Wisdom was scum yesterday and more or less didn't think about worst, but now I'm thinking about worst today... or..

is it because I didn't actually care to sort Wisdom or worst and today I'm trying to judge how easily I can miselim worst, or am asking useless questions, or whatever scum oriented motivation you can imagine

If I had to read myself, I think it's probably NAI since I legitimately didn't really engage with worst at all yesterday or mention him at all. As town I was just not thinking about duck and tunneled on Wisdom, but as scum I could have done the same thing not thinking about duck

Should I have been more methodical, probably, maybe things would have been different. Is it confusing, not really, I think it's fairly cut and dry

[Something_Smart]

Sure I mean I'm not that confused by it anymore, it seems like you just decided you'd read Wisdom and didn't care to keep thinking about it, which I guess is a thing that can happen. But I'm still irritated.

So do you think further scrutinizing of worstie today is warranted?

[Something_Smart]

Yeah, I mean, he should answer the questions that were posed to him.

[Bingle]

Spoiler: Every post ducks has answered a question in

The reason I point this out is because I read the bolded as though you knew I was 8ball. A potential slip. That's what I want clarified.

No, you misread. Imaginality was talking about the possibility of you being scum and 8ball, and that's what I was responding to

Just gonna cut this off at the knees: That was 100% not a scum slip. When discussing the hypothetical that you are the eightball, the presumption that you would flip 8 ball is natural.

Hopefully we don't have a week long argument about whether the obviously NAI post is a scumslip every game I'm scum in.

now

this

is a scumslip

But like, it reads like a potential slip to me too. Djdoxjsklsjshs

i'd be interested in you expanding, i've had growing concerns about bingle.

Just the

"every game I'm scum in"

sounds like an admission since it seemed

Bingle

presumed that the

Wisdom

post was a red herring. Why would the first part of that sentence be true but the next be false?

Like, I can't be misreading again can I?

And why hold off on those concerns ducky, you waiting for me to be your shield?

i'm wondering why you're making up opinions. lol.

because i want someone else to do it first so i can sheep them and pretend it was my idea all along

Mom's talymaginality solve is towny

Didn't seem so on a skim.

I'll review it later.

In the spur of the moment I didn't believe in it but could totally see why someone would

But I also wonder why Bingle feels compelled to defend Wisdom.

i feel like bingle is
- missing a vibe read
- working on a consistent trajectory

he feels forced

Lol. Pull the other one. When have I ever been a tonal read? Better, what fucking trajectory? I’ve been treading water the entire game trying to get reads and the whole reason I cottoned on to you is because you have been actively working against that.

this isn't a tonal read lol

1. Duck engaging over Taly taking him misquoting me on purpose seriously.
2. Duck answering an obvious question he set bait out for.
3. Duck incidentally answering Taly’s question while talking to house.
4. Duck answering exactly half of the questions posed to him in a post. He later feigned not knowing he’d ignored me asking what scum trajectory I was supposed to have.

It's probably worth noting worst has had the opportunity to engage with Bingle a bunch and recently -- it just that it was about bread, trips to Australia, and the golden state bridge

wellll time to wait for now i guess

[Bingle]

It's not just me. He was also notably absent when Taly attempted to engage with him, and he had a townread on Taly, so it's not explained by "Oh, I think Bingle's scum so I shouldn't bother engaging with him about the game."

[the worst]

i don't really need to engage with scum lol
VOTE: bingle

[the worst]

i'd contest that bingle is like, very clearly driving an agenda-driven lim. i had a busy week and spent my time finding scum, rather than answering questions which didn't interest me much. not sorry.

[Morning Tweet]

So you figure you've got the 8-ball worst?

[the worst]

all i'm gonna say is when u elim me and scum get another kill, remember.

[the worst]

wait. that would be endgame.

yes. i strongly suspect i am the 8-ball.

[Something_Smart]

:X

[the worst]

[Something_Smart]

Definitely you are the 8-ball and not the counterwagon to town who also lolhammered the 8-ball.

[the worst]

actually realistically regardless of bingle's alignment, the 8-ball is probably one of bingle or myself (whichever one scum thinks is more likely to lose a 1v1 which admittedly might just be bingle)

pedit: concede that

[Something_Smart]

Yeah, that's kinda my point. You shouldn't be voting him.

[the worst]

i remember ending the day thinking and mom and taly were kinda towny
i think i liked imaginality?
probably going to start by looking for 2 in MT, House, Bingle.

VOTE: House as a starting point.

[the worst]

honestly still just think bingle is scum and i'd rather a scum flip and staying in stressful ELo than elim someone kinda meh
i'll do some more reading when i'm not at work

[Morning Tweet]

I agree Bingle is the 8-ball

I was curious why you feel his push on you is transparently agenda-driven and if the 8-ball played into that

[Morning Tweet]

Hot take I think both scum are on this page

[Morning Tweet]

Am i going to substantiate that

Maybe
