Open 836: Pick Your Poison (Game Over)

Mostly think it can't be all the scum because I'm not that good.

fair enough

what makes you put iconeum in there?

Same reason for all of them. Lack of free flowing response to the game. More reactionary than active engagement. Ico is a tougher case because he has been busy and gone it seems

[Fun and Games]

Like Ico's thread re-entry feels super weird to me.

It's difficult for me to believe it's like a real stream of consciousness catchup, it feels manufactured and fakey.

but you have more experience with Ico than I do, so I'm asking you what you think of the way he re-entered the thread.

[Fun and Games]

like do you actually think he's been gone and decided to do a ~ 1 hr catchup and posted those thoughts?

or do you think he's been reading along, didn't feel like posting cuz ~reasons~, saw the thread timer nearing 48h, and then blasted some "thoughts" into the thread before slapping his vote somewhere and ghosting for the weekend

[Fun and Games]

Essentially I'm asking you if anything in the 809->819 catchup feels like Ico!town genuinely catching up to thread and not ico!scum going through the motions.

[Datisi]

i'm not yet ready to give a read. i've seen ico make better posts as scum and worse posts as town. we're not in a rush, and you'll have to trust the process a bit,

[Fun and Games]

gosh I guess i'll have to metadive Ico myself huh

[Fun and Games]

cuz reading his catchup it reminded me of that time ico/me were scum together in kids with lungs and the dude would basically lurk and then "catchup" in "bursts" where he would post like 20 times in a row and not actually interact with the thread in any way.

[Fun and Games]

And uh dats the fact that you're kinda meh/not really commenting on ico is a bit worrying for me

they *can*, i just don't think it's likely. mainly, i think it's decently unlikely scum!cakez attacks me with a push that bad if pooky is in the scum pt with him, i believe pooky thinks i am very prone to omgus-ing, and i'm generally loud and annoying and likely to be townread as town. generally not a good thing to get on your ass if you're scum.[/quote]

Meh. That feels like a lot of assuming. If sircakez already started it wouldn't feel natural enough to just stop so they'd have to be careful. You're also assuming Pooky would read that the same way as you and that sircakez would let pooky dictate his play that way. I don't really think they're a scum team I'd pick anyway and I'm townreading you so it doesn't really matter much. But meh I don't see what you see.

/shrug

if i'm not ready to give a read, i'm not going to force it. do you think there's scum! motivation behind what i'm doing?

pedit: @skitt

[Fun and Games]

It looks partner-y to me
Independntly of the ico stuff i kinda like your posting this game, but if ico is scum the way you're interacting with him looks like a partner trying to keep the heat off of him

Also i kinda feel like you *should* have some sort of thought on him by now

VOTE: Dunn

i'll be back after the weekend with more.

Good vote

Bingle would u vote dunn too?

~ skitter

As of here I would have, but I’m not really keen on an E-1 atm.

[Bingle]

Btw, I'm dead serious about Gamma here. Not gonna say why in details, but he knows as well as I that this is a scumtell of his.

Does this stand if the thing vp is pushing isn’t really true?

VOTE: gamma emerald

Either way this does more work here.

[Bingle]

Also is anyone else finding bingle to be kinda weird?

~ skitter

Yup. My reads density is inverted. It’s wild.

[Bingle]

kids with lungs

I have a new open to design.

[Bingle]

gosh I guess i'll have to metadive Ico myself huh

He was pretty similar in both team mafia and the micro we were buddies for, iirc.

[Bingle]

Him saying I’m struggling to keep up is also a weird ass take!

Sure, but the relevant thing is why he has that take.

[Almost50]

Btw, I'm dead serious about Gamma here. Not gonna say why in details, but he knows as well as I that this is a scumtell of his.

I'm not opposed to this. You can't say in detail, but can you state something in general why you'd prefer Gamma over dunn?

Erm.. how to put it? "Gamma scumclaimed to me" might be the way to phrase it without giving out much. Like.. say you told me that Scum!you doesn't vote in RVs, while Town!you does. Then you come into a game and post several time on page 1 but you don't place a RVS vote. That's you practiaclly scumclaiming to me. Nobody else would notice (probably), but it was YOU who told ME that when you do this you're scum.

[Bingle]

Bingle, you were thinking of me. I was looking for reasoning on Almost50 and Fun and Games, your two strongest reads other than those two slots and myself, and a read on Iconeum.

I’m not gonna be able to give a reason on A50, but I might be the most accurate monkey whispererer on site. F+G I would also like to know why I think they’re being weird, so if you could figure that out I’d be grateful. Ico I don’t really have a read on, nor do I expect to. I’m vaguely hoping someone else comes along and tells me his alignment so I don’t have to figure it out, same as N_M and Pengy.

Either way this does more work here.

It's independent of anything else that was mentioned about Gamma or anyone else.

[Bingle]

Cool. You have my axe.

[Almost50]

Like, earlier I did kinda lie.. well.. not exactly a lie.. but I told "not all the truth". My complete readlist looked like:

Almost50
VP Baltar
Bingle
Fun and Games (skitter30 & PookyTheMagicalBear)
PenguinPower
Datisi


Not_Mafia
SirCakez
Sleepless Assassin
Iconeum
Enchant

Dunnstral


Gamma Emerald


And it's typed exactly like that in my word file (including the spaces). Now the first section is what I exposed only. The second bulk is not ordered (all null). I was keeping an eye on Dunn & Gamma for more clues, but I didn't want to say it aloud so neither would be alarmed. I wanted them to act as "pressure free" as possible.

Now Dunn I still suspect alright, but he didn't give me anything new to support my inner gut suspicion. Gamma -however- did.

[Almost50]

Oh, GODDAMN! I meant my FAKE READS. These are FAKE reads. Never forget that
