I am pretty sure you’re wrong.

The only reason you say not to vote Wu is me which is bad.

I've seen the bricks thing so many times before, but I miss it every time.
I feel like scum are going to start CTRL+Fing the word "brick" in future games to find and kill masons.

Aren't boat wagons a thing? I've seen people on other websites do both votes and "boats," where posting
Boat: [Username]
means you want [Username] shot by the dayvig. (The dayvig agrees to shoot whoever gets the most "boats.")

my was straight-up a joke and had nothing to do with the game. But arguing that one of Dats/Wu has to be scum doesn't seem like a great argument, your sister was wrong as fuck when she used it and you're prob wrong too.

It’s not always “bricks” or “foundation”

Sometimes it’s early townreads or something both players do early

In general some crumb of some kind.

You’re not addressing the substance of why I think one of Datisi/Wu are scum though.

You’re referencing an irrelevant game

I don’t see why scum move from both Datisi/Wu onto HEM/me. Why?

VP gave me so much shit for pushing fluff players and now he suddenly wants to kill Wu? naw thats scummy as shit and Skitter was also defending Wu.

I'm also pushing that there's at least 1 scum in Skitter/VP

I am reading the game.

I am also playing the game while reading.

Your votes seemed bad.

If Wu was town I would expect more scum to buddy me and less counter wagons attempting to be starting.

Fua later on sheeps this reasoning and it made me a little worried that Fua was scum.

It’s possible that boat wagons are town but not likely.

Datisi/Wu were too wagons
Then became HEM and myself

Scum would have no reason to move wagons so the wagons getting to that state implies one or more are scum.
What if there was a reason in context? Datisi simply started posting better, in my opinion.

ok, looking at the progression of votes on those four players:

- datisi (4), monkey (3), wu (0), monkey (0)
- wu (4), datisi (3), monkey (2), nordom (0)
- datisi (5), monkey (3), wu (1), nordom (0)
- datisi (5), nordom (3), monkey (2), wu (1)
- datisi (4), nordom (4), monkey (2), wu (1)
- monkey (5), datisi (3), wu (2), nordom (1)
- monkey (6), nordom (4), wu (2), datisi (1)

saying that there were clear leading wagons of datisi/wu and that scum moved things to you/monkey is not backed up at all by what happened. monkey wagon came before wu. wu wagon, by the VCs, was actually never very prominent. there was one point out of 7 VCs where datisi/wu were the two leading ones, but it's super arbitrary to pick out that one.

the shift of things onto wu lately is actually the most interesting thing here, imo

So how do we reach scoring? A game of go ends when both players pass, agreeing that there is nothing more they can do. Then they look to see if they agree on which stones on the board are alive or would inevitably be captured, and if they disagree they start playing again until they agree, and pass again.

This was at one point but 7 players

It’s hard to demonstrate all this on mobile and I am about to go to bed.

Nero,fua,VP,you,skitter,Yeet >> They would need a reason to move off who they scumread onto HEM/me

Those became around time of my replace in

Nero naked voted me
VP joined HEM
Skitter joined HEM
Yeet joined HEM

This means scum likely joined HEM to avoid wagon
Skitter and Yeet on Datisi
VP if I have to guess is the bad townie


Fua never left
Std joined the Wu wagon +town points
