bruh right now I am at the point where I would accidentally respond to something from a scum PT in the main thread

[VP Baltar]

I had already been trying to get people to vote Iconeum at that point.

That's my bad. I had forgotten you were already voting Ico, so it seemed weird to ask for a new wagon when I didn't think you were on. I had incorrectly assumed you had moved from your first vote 28 pages into the game, but you were still on Ico.

If you don't agree with my take on Dunns exchange with Fun And Games then unfortunately you'd be right I don't have a reason to town read him because that's the most telling thing I've seen from Dunn aside from his comment that you called a soft claim. But let me clarify that it's not the wagon composition that I didn't like, it's my specific read on Dunn. I think he's townier than Gamma. So I preferred Gamma.

Someone said this earlier, and you probably addressed it (I need to reread), but I have a hard time with anyone seeing Dunn as townier than Gamma. Gamma is at least here and doing SOMETHING.

Further, you later stated you were "not really scumreading Gamma"...so it just seems like a bizarre place to put a vote. Were you voting it only because it was a wagon with momentum?

Continuing on that point:

Is it unreasonable to believe Bingle that Gamma is going through RL things? Or is it unreasonable to believe RL can lead to apathy just as much as Gammas alignment could?

No, it's not unreasonable at all. But my problem is that you explicitly state you're note scumreading Gamma, so I just don't get why you voted him in the first place. It reads as blatantly trying to find a counterwagon to Dunn, which I don't get at all. How is that a better use of your energy than trying to convince people with a case to vote your top scumread of Ico?

Interesting take. I didn't place an RVS vote in this game.

I said "RVS-level" vote. I understand it wasn't a true RVS in the sense that it was a joke. You made what appeared to be a serious vote. But it was also on like page 6 of the game right when RVS was sort of finishing. The fact you hadn't moved your vote from that point strikes me as somewhat scummy regardless of Ico's alignment. Vote camping is much more likely to come from scum than from town, who are lacking knowledge on whether their votes are correct.

I don't recommend eliminating me

Back in my day, this kind of shit got you straight limmed on D1.

[VP Baltar]

Dats -- you still want to lim the Ico slot now that it's being replaced?

[Datisi]

fuck if i know. now that he's gone, i can go over the stuff that was bothering me about him, since i can't ask the replacement to answer for them anyway. you still interested in hearing that, or...?

UNVOTE: iconeum (still feel like voting there for now, but let's give the rep a bit of space and make sure there's no accidental yeets yet)

[VP Baltar]

you still interested in hearing that, or...?

Yes, definitely

[Datisi]

noted. currently doing Other Things, will get to that a bit later on.

how sure are you on dunn being scum?

[VP Baltar]

how sure are you on dunn being scum?

70%?

I'm interested in hearing from you if you think his play differs here from when he was scum with you on D1. Just feel like I've tried to give him opportunities to engage with me in a real way, and he's trying to end those as fast as possible to return to lurking. It's major bad vibes for me.

I feel better about yeeting there than most anywhere else. Sleepless has given me some bad vibes as well. I maybe feel like giving Gamma a pass for today because I can't say I have a great track record reading him.

I guess if my vote is needed on the Ico wagon to finish it, I'm not opposed, but it feels slightly too popular for ambiguous reasons to me.

[Something_Smart]

DArby replaces Iconeum.

[DArby]

Hey there. This is my first replaced game, so give me some time to read through everything.

Hello everyone voting Assassin you should join

[DArby]

Who the hell is jingle.

I hate this is making me laugh as much as it is.

@SC:

You gotta speed it up

If you are intentionally quoting Bucks fizz as a wine reference to tell us you're creating WIFOM, that's awesome. If not, ignore me.

Further, you later stated you were "not really scumreading Gamma"...so it just seems like a bizarre place to put a vote. Were you voting it only because it was a wagon with momentum?

Um? That quote came when I unvoted. So you have timing mixed up pretty badly. You seem think it was:
Townread Gamma --> Vote Gamma for a counterwagon to Dunn
It was more like:
Weak read on Gamma -> Vote Gamma for counterwagon -> Realize my reasons for voting him didn't actually make him scum -> unvote and say I'm not really scumreading him anymore.

How is that a better use of your energy than trying to convince people with a case to vote your top scumread of Ico?

I spent, what did you say 28 pages?, trying for Iconeum and was getting nothing. A Gamma wagon seemed more productive than continuing to waste my breath on what was turning out more and more to be a vanity Vote.

I said "RVS-level" vote. I understand it wasn't a true RVS in the sense that it was a joke. You made what appeared to be a serious vote. But it was also on like page 6 of the game right when RVS was sort of finishing. The fact you hadn't moved your vote from that point strikes me as somewhat scummy regardless of Ico's alignment.

Then you're massively underestimating my confidence in the read.

[Gamma Emerald]

why do you quote posts like that

I knew it

[DArby]

Halfway through. A50 and Enchant are town so far.

[DArby]

I kinda wanna vote somewhere that isn't VP but I also fucking hate him trying to act like I owe him anything
It's that age-old thing of "you respect me

as an authority

and I'll respect you

as a person

" which I do not support or abide in any form

Gamma is on the fence but I townread her for this.

[DArby]

VOTE: iconeum
I'm gonna throw my old townblock out the window and make a new one with

blackjack and hookers

cakez, enchant, f&g, and penguin at the center

what's up

Lmao why does my slot act like a genie and only appears when summoned

[DArby]

My brain turned off reading the last ten pages. I’m going to sit in a corner for a bit and think.

[SirCakez]

Enchant are town so far.

can you talk about this one?
because I agree but want to hear how you got there

[DArby]

He’s a meme but not derailing the game. Extracting what he’s saying seriously does follow logical steps.

What did we used to call this? Wasn't it like the Amished tell or something? Is that still a thing?
